Don't mess with Alaska

Andrew Sullivan notes that Texas Republican activist Kelly Shackleford is among the litigants in Alaska trying to forestall the Troopergate investigation. To which Evan Smith asks:


Why the devil is a Texan -- and a Texas-based organization -- messing with parochial Alaskan affairs?

I can't answer that question, but I can ask another one: What do you suppose the reaction here would be to an out-of-state organization coming into Texas to throw sand into some aspect of our state's business? Probably not too pleasant, I'm thinking. Just something to think about.
