I’d Be Willing To Do It, But Now I’m Scared
Most of you know that Texas Congressfool Steve Stockman is running against Senator John Cornyn for the highly undistinguished honor of being the Republican nominee for Senate in Texas.
Cornyn’s people dug up an old mug shot of Stockman and started putting it all over town.
Stockman was arrested in 1977 for felony possession of valium. The case was dismissed and Stockman says the record was expunged.
I didn’t say anything about it because I know plenty folks who made some mistakes and then turned themselves around and have lived a distinguished and honorable life. I figured it would backfire on Cornyn.
But, noooooooo. Stockman couldn’t just explain and let it be. He had to threaten someone.
Stockman probably needs that valium now.
He’s gone batcrap crazy and is threatening to file criminal charges against anyone who posts his mug shot on the internet machine. You know, this one.
Oh yeah, batcrap crazy.
Michigan’s 43rd Judicial District Clerk stated Stockman was never convicted of any charge and the documents were supposed to have been destroyed in 1978. Another Michigan official has advised Stockman he has grounds to file criminal complaints against any person or media organization that published the documents.
Well, that does it. I will not publish his mugshot on my internet page. Not me. I kinda figure this picture isn’t worth actual criminal charges being filed against me.
So, you know, I will not post it.
Now, if I knew some lawyers, I might just start putting it in women’s restrooms all over Michigan. And by “it”, I mean this.
But, since I do not know any lawyers, at least not any who would go to Michigan for me, I will have to be content with just looking at other people’s internet page with this picture. You know, this one.
I’m sorry that Steve Stockman got in my face and issued a challenge to have me arrested in Michigan and I backed down. I know you’re disappointed in me. But, I just figure the picture isn’t worth going to jail over. You know, this one.
Oh my.
1In that mugshot Stockman looks like a member of the Manson Family. Which seems appropriate since conservative “family values” are pretty much Manson Family values!
2Stockman’s challenge was aimed just at you. I am glad that you did not back down .
Of course, I doubt that many republican primary voters are reading your website
3Thank goodness the boss is gone to lunch right now, because I am literally laughing out loud! Every time the photo scrolled up again, I was off and snorting and guffawing again.
Mizz Juanita, this has to be one of your very! best! ever! I tip my bonnet to you, madam. I truly do.
4Are you kidding me? That picture is stalking me. Everywhere I go on the inter tubes – Steve Stockman’s mugshot is staring back at me. Good luck with that, dude.
5Maybe we need to import that crazy gohmert’s finger prints from the C&L site. Boy Howdy, the crankshaft is flying out of his clown car.
6This has to be one of your best! Another peal of laughter with each scroll down.
7We’ll have to take up a collection to pay up when Stockman makes good on his threat.
But when has he ever made good on anything?
This is kinda like watching CNN (or some other info-tainment channel) scroll the same plane wreck 18 times an hour 😛 At some point my brain says “Too many plane wrecks! Too much tragedy!” This post makes my poor little brain say, “Too many thugs! Warrant roundup, please!!”
8Thank goodness you didn’t publish the picture. Would hate for you to spend the rest of your life in an orange jumpsuit. Stockman has, however, provided many laughs – for those of us who don’t live in Texas. I imagine for those of you who do, he’s just a major pain.
9Stupid Republicans. Tennessee’s Stacey Campfield tried the same thing. He didn’t want anyone quoting his blog and threatened to sue. I repeat: he has a PUBLIC blog wherein he says stupid things. And if you quote his blog, he says he will sue you.
Interesting tactic.

10Sorry, I misspoke. He didn’t threaten to sue. He said he’d charge you $1,000 a word. My bad.

12I wonder if Stockman realizes that once something is posted once on the “series of tubes” that is the Internet it is there forever?
13Oh, I know it sounds crazy, but this could just be the best photo of himself that Stockman has ever had!
14Orange is the new black and I’m sure you could rock it.
15Laughing. Poor ol’ Stevie.
16You made a wise decision not to publish that picture. We don’t want you to wind up in a FEMA camp.
17AHA moment! Holy Gohmerts!!! While whining about “Holly-weird,” the ‘thugs preserve their right to endorse the truly weird. GMAG Cornyn is a useless pile of gohmert. But Stockyard Steve is insanity on a cracker.
Dear goddesses, please tell me Texas knows Maxey Scherr is their route to a semblance of self respect.

Hah! You managed to put “republican primary voters” and “reading” together in a sentence! Well done!
19Braxton Braggart Off the charts!!!! Best observations to you and Kyle.
Praise the deities, there may be a limit to stupid, as evidenced by a decline in the Teajihadthugpug base.
The ACA may not be perfect, but as more ‘thugs reject it, they self eliminate the herd of stupid. May all the collateral damage be GOP. Death penalty, wars, death, death and WTG collateral damage, yeah forgive me if I am not saddened by a fewer hazardous to our health morons.
20What I think will happen is the Teahaddists will eventually just be the little group of 6 or 8 of their members that show up at their rallies. Pretty soon human nature and greed and age will start to sneak in (and the IRS) and they’ll decide to get some of that evil, murderous, nazi inpired, death panel forming, country destroying, unconstitutional Obamacare because they got old or sick and well, you know, THEIR taxes paid for it.
This crazy loon will be gone before that. Or should be, but it is Texas. (I don’t mean anything personal to Texans with a measurable I.Q. but golly, you’ve sure had some doozies these past few years!)
Although I sure do like your idea about eliminating the ‘herd of stupid’. I live in Nebraska where, in one city, certain people of ‘unverifiable’ citizenship aren’t even allowed to rent a place to live.
21You need to stop!!!! I am ROTFLMBO. The more Stockman complains, the more attention he draws to himself. He’s his own worst enemy. You’d better be careful! Stockman has a roving band of highly paid IT specialists just scouring the internet to see which blog owners and blog visitors post this pic on sites. After seeing the pitiful campaign headquarters he once had, it’s kind of hard for me to see how he’s going to be able to sue ‘errybody who posts his crime pic on the internet. LOL.
22Like others have said, Stockman clearly channeled Charlie Manson and his family at some point. I’m re-reading Helter Skelter just in case.
23Dude looks like a methed-out carjacker.
Or like a younger Steve Stockman, in other words.
24Because if an opponent digs up embarrassing information about you, your best response is to make sure it gets maximum publicity.
25southern beale,
stacey needs the cash. what he calls a campaign worker allegedly broke into his house and stole his campaign funds that he tried to camouflage in a change jar with some blank checks. but since that wasn’t enough to justify a breaking and entering charge if she got caught, she grabbed some CDs, DVDs and comic books too, I think. Obvioulsy the bank where the stolen checks were cashed was shocked when the checks actually cleared, so they called the law.

26He’s obviously never heard of the Streisand Effect.
27Michigan? Drugs? Looks like he could have been a guitar player in Ted Nugent’s band. Or maybe just Ted’s dealer.
