does it even matter anymore?

So back in February, my colleague The Bitter One and I attended a taping of Texas Monthly Talks at which Speaker Tom Craddick was the guest. Paul Burka points out that, during that taping, Craddick said something that seems to contradict the basis for what he has been ruling for the last couple of days, namely, that the Speaker is a statewide office holder and therefore can only be removed from his office during a session by impeachment.

Hmmmmm....
