The Best Little Whore in Texas.

All in all, I thought they were pretty nice to him.

Momma, don’t read this.  It is Rolling Stone.

Seriously, Momma.  Do. Not. I am not explaining to you what some of those words mean.

It’s pretty much understood that before and after Governor Rick Perry appoints you to a commission or something, you have to give him suitcases filled with money.  It’s called Pay to Play.

And it’s even gone to the playground.  Rick Perry now has middle school aged kids giving him money for their daddy.

Humm ... Clean Enough For Rick?

Barry Smitherman has recently been appointed commissioner of the Texas Railroad Commission by Rick Perry.  Before this, he was on the Public Utility Commission, also appointed by Rick Perry.  Barry and his wife and their adult children rained down their legal limit of contributions to Rick Perry’s Presidential campaign.

But, his middle school aged daughter must be very successful in the baby sitting business because she donated $2,500 of her own money to Rick Perry.  And, his son who is a junior in high school, coughed up $1,000, probably earned from his paper route.

Pesky child labors laws – without them other kids could give Rick their money, too.

There is a dude running for United States Senator from Texas named Ted Cruz who is a bit testy about the Council on Foreign Relations.  He was talking to some folks in a debate last week and pronounced —

Cruz called the organization “a pernicious nest of snakes” that is “working to undermine our sovereignty,” according to video provided by someone who opposes his candidacy.

He had also called it “a pit of vipers.”  That’s pretty much the typical Tea Party stance on the issue.

But, and this is a pretty big butt, Cruz’s wife, the lovely Mrs. Heidi Cruz, was an active member of the Council on Foreign Relations until this June.

When questioned about it, Cruz’s spokesman said, “Cruz’s issues with the CFR aren’t important.”

I dunno ’bout you or Cruz but I generally save “a pernicious nest of snakes” for things that are important.  And, I think undermining US sovereignty is right on up there just above “Hey, waiter, my eggs are cold.”

Ted Cruz is one of those shoot from the mouth and apologize to your wife later kinda guys so this race might be fun.

Thanks to Ken for the heads up.

Because I just couldn’t wait.

Rick Perry says he might not debate at any more GOP debates.  Great cover story for when they quit inviting him, don’t you think?

And as Wayne Slater points out, avoiding debates is what got Perry in this mess in the first place — he didn’t know how to debate because he hides from reporters and debates.  So, Rick Perry  thinks he can be the GOP nominee without debating Barack Obama?

Well see, now they’re being silly about it.

Just in case you thought that the Republican had taken greed to it’s scientific height, here comes California Republican Congressvarmint Dana Rohrabacher to take it high enough to see the lights of Argentina.

Mr. and Mrs. Dana Rohrabacher, of the Fruitcake Rohrabachers

Rohrabacher doesn’t have a real Democratic opponent because his district is solid GOP.  But that doesn’t stop Rohrabacher from having a nicely paid campaign manager:  his wife.

The Committee to Re-Elect Congressman Dana Rohrabacher reported raising $21,925 during the three-month period and then paying Rhonda Rohrabacher $11,026.

Over the past 5 years, Rhonda has collected over $250,000 as “campaign manager.”

If you don’t know a lot about Dana Pohrabacher, you should learn.  He’s three doses of Thorazine past Louie Gohmert crazy.

Remember Obama Girl?

Well, Harold found Rick Perry Girls.

Thanks to Elise, Terry, Big Bubba, and Randy for emails saying, “Good Lord, have you seen what Harold has!?  Can you steal it?” Of course I can steal it, but then when Harold goes on Big Ed’s he won’t put the required five words between my name and the word nincompoop.  The boy has a national audience, so I give him and Cavnar a wide berth.
