Texas governor: 'Cowboys defense more porous than the Texas border' image

Texas governor Greg Abbott was watching his beloved Cowboys on Sunday night when they choked away a win to the Saints.

Dallas' defense was awful during the Saints' final fourth-quarter drive, which nearly won the game. A missed Zach Hocker field goal gave Dallas life in overtime, but again the Cowboys' defense failed and gave up an 80-yard touchdown to C.J. Spiller.

The collapse understandably upset the Texas governor. So, like most Americans, he took to Twitter to tweet through the pain.

And, like most Americans, he has bad tweets.

Abbott's late-night post caught a lot of negative feedback from his followers and the Twitter community. Many pointed out that he's the governor of Texas, so in a way he's kind of responsible for the Texas border.

This isn't the first time Abbott has stuck his head in sports. After Tony Romo's injury the governor suggested the Cowboys sign Tim Tebow.
