Men to Boyz: Cafeteria Fight!
Holy cow, y’all. We knew this was going happen but we didn’t know it was gonna happen so soon.
Why’s everybody always picking on Dan?
The weekly kumbaya breakfast between the big three Texas lawmakers broke down today into a round-robin of recriminations that concluded with Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick declaring he was tired of Governor Greg Abbott and Speaker Joe Straus “picking on me.”
Oh dear, oh dear, the role of whiney little boy is being played by Dan Patrick during this legislative session. Dan Patrick has spent a lifetime being a bully on the radio and in real life. He can dish it out but he sure can’t take it. He bullies everybody and goes from mean guy to victim before the orange juice gets poured.
Dan Patrick
Okay, the Republican Power Rangers meet every Wednesday morning for breakfast at the capitol. I’m going next week with a fire extinguisher. I think Dan Patrick and his famous temper and previous physical assaults just might scream and attack someone.
I am so damn excited for this boxing match to get started.
Edit: The cool kids over on Facebook have this now –
They get good practice while playing the “everybody’s picking on us poor ‘Christians’ ” game. Also called “I can bully all y’all but nobody’s allowed to bully me.”
1Good times.
2Why are teabaggers, who usually are such thugs, always screeching victimhood?
3That’s pretty amazing!
But Patrick’s problem is the problem of all ideologues, left and right: It’s easier to throw stones from outside than it is to work with people once inside.
4That account of Patrick’s court testimony has to be a Texas Classic.
Patrick is a self-loathing cry baby, but you have to hand it to him- most people, having testified how it came to pass that they made a humiliating return trip to Dallas- would live the rest of life in relative obscurity. Not Danny boy! He’s like a drunk who goes out to pick a fight with someone sure to beat him up. The fact that this time the bully is poor, pitiful Greg Abbott only makes Patrick seem even more pathetic.
We are truly living in the Era of the Bottom-Feeders.
5Well, Ted Cruz did warn us that “The next 20 months are going to be like a Hobbesian state of nature, it’s going to be like lord of the flies.”
And he was talking about Republicans.
I wonder who will be cast for the role of Piggy?

6Like I said just a little while ago, as they spend their time fighting each other, just maybe we can get some real stuff done.
Question: if Patrick actually bails on the lite guv gig (voluntarily or otherwise), who is the most likely one to succeed him?
7Is that the power rangers or the mutant ninja turtles?
8So he really is Effin Nutz and not just TeaBagged Nutz…
Sounds like Book Material, “From the Looney Bin on the Hill to Lt Governor.”
9No wonder things are such a mess. Little boys playing at governing. What else we should expect? Bullies can dish it out but they can rarely take it, I guess we are supposed to be concerned about their fragility…..but we are not.
10We Texans can thank our lucky stars ….. that these children only gather in Austin for a few days during the legislative session.
Hopefully, limiting the damage they do to the State of Texas and its citizens.
11Has anyone mentioned to the Texas Lege that the legislature is a socialist organization? After all, the legislators are paid by the government and they operate within the confines of a governmental organization, the classic definition of socialism.
12Oh my gosh, he’s trying the Charlie Brown ploy right out of the starting gate. Who’s gonna be Lucy and yank that football out from under him? Another one bites the dust!
13Apparently Danny isn’t taking his meds.
14Poor, misguided, illiterate, dishonest Danny should thank his version of God that Bob Bullock isn’t around to show him what “picking on” really looks like.
15Think Abbott and Strauss would rather be working with Leticia?
16Heathers. Where’s Christian Slater when you need him?
17I sympathize with the guy, I really do. I mean, come on, who needs to be constantly reminded of what a little, little man you really are?
Of course, if he’d be just a little less of an ego driven turd and more of a man… nope, he’d still be a turd.
