It was former mayor Louie Welch, running for re-election after several years of being out of office. He was in range of a microphone he didn't realize was "hot" when he overheard a Channel 11 reporter giving a tagline about Welch describing his 10-point (8? 12?

Despite his public apoligies, Houston voters reacted with predictable revulsion and rejected him by a landslide.
