David Dewhurst glad he helped stifle free speech at University

Dewhurst, for his part, issued the following statement today, one day before Palm Sunday:

“The cancellation of the play, ‘Corpus Christi,’ by the university was the right thing to do. While I’m a strong defender of free speech, we must also protect the rights and reasonable expectations of Texas taxpayers and how their money is used. A play that is completely contrary to the standards of decency and moral beliefs of the vast majority of Texans should not be performed using any state resources, especially by an institution of higher learning. “

Whaa - for free speech, if that speech meets his standards? Does Dewhurst understand the concept of free speech? Yes, but he's just too big an a**hole to live up to decent expectations. Psst. Why didn't Dewhurst condemn the threats of violence from the people who have these 'standards of decency and moral beliefs'?
