Didja all see that tweet I posted (yesterday I think) of Abbott partying it up, playing a fiddle while Texas burns (yes, really) at some big Texas BBQ? I don’t seriously wish death on him, but if he gets seriously ill for a while, I would not be terribly upset. (My guess: Like a lot of these Republican hypocrites, he is probably already well-vaxxed, even as he tries his best to kill as many of his fellow Texans as he can.) ETA – Yes, I see it’s mentioned today in the Screw Greg Abbott thread, that he is vaxxed. That’s too bad. ETA-2: And here’s the post with the link to the tweet with the pic of him fiddling: > [@Screw Greg Abbott {Texas Governor}](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/screw-greg-abbott/934141/172): > > Here ya go.
