  in the state).
  Texas death row executions (95-2000 are the Bush Years):

  Year	‘82	‘84	‘85	‘86	‘87	‘88	‘89	‘90	‘91	‘92	‘93	‘94	‘95	‘96	‘97	‘98	‘99	‘00	‘01	‘02	‘03	‘04	‘05	All
  Prisoners	1	3	6	10	6	3	4	4	5	12	17	14	19	3	37	20	35	40	17	33	24	23	4	340

  Christian convert Karla Faye Tucker’s plea for her life when she was
  on death row:

  “‘Please,’ Bush whimpers, his lips pursed in mock desperation, ‘don’t kill me.’”
