...and he's got a small penis....

Congressman's ex-wife may run against him

Well, if you can't beat him, you might as well drag him through the mud, eh? If nothing else, the race for an otherwise relatively safe Democratic seat may just become a whole hell of a lot more interesting.

SAN ANTONIO -- The ex-wife of U.S. Rep. Charlie Gonzalez said Friday that she may run against him in the November election.

Becky Whetstone, a former newspaper columnist who divorced the three-term Democrat in October, says if she enters the race, it will be as an independent.

"As a man he lacks integrity," Whetstone said of Gonzalez, although she would not elaborate on that statement.

The pair's divorce after four years of marriage was public and acrimonious, with Whetstone accusing him of physical and emotional abuse.

Gonzalez was in San Antonio on Friday to support Rep. Ciro Rodriguez, a fellow San Antonio Democrat.

He told the San Antonio Express-News that Whetstone's action is part of her ongoing anger over their divorce.

"It demeans public service," he said. "This is beyond the pale and what I detect is a terrible degree of desperation. ... It would be nice if all of this ended at some point in time and if Becky moved forward to maybe a healthier place."

Man, I can hardly wait for the debates....
