Oh, Oh, Oh, They Are Whining!
I could not be more excited.
The Republican Party breeds little monsters, feds them carefully and nurtures them, then sets them loose. And then Holy Smokes, the little monsters come back to eat Republicans.
You guys remember James O’Keffe and Hannah Giles, the pretend pimp and hooker who doctored ACORN tapes to get themselves publicity? And how I told you about Hannah’s grandmother being a big deal in the Republican Party in my county and how proud she was that her granddaughter, who had never had acting lessons, could pass herself off as a hooker and how that just didn’t seem proper braging material for a grandmother? And how Congressman Pete Olson, at grandmother’s insistence, got Hannah and James honored at the House of Representatives of the the whole United States of Damn America?
Then the plot thickens when O’Keefe, who I call Mr. Snappypants, and Hannah’s husband, Joseph Basel, break into Senator Mary Landrieu’s husband.
Joseph Basel
Well now Hannah and her husband Joseph have taken their show to Austin, where crazy people don’t stand out, and called it American Phoenix Foundation.
And what, you ask, does The American Phoenix Foundation do?
Oh, I can hardly wait to tell you.
An Austin-based nonprofit with ties to activists arrested in the past for targeting legislators in other states has collected hundreds of hours of secretly recorded video footage of Texas lawmakers to use against them in the upcoming election cycle, a representative from the group confirmed Tuesday.
The undercover video campaign represents a new front by conservative groups to target incumbent Republicans and tilt the Texas Legislature further to the right.
Okay, so I know you are asking yourself how in hell could Texas be further to the right? Is that even possible considering the laws of physics?
Okay, if you are a woman and you live in Texas, are you wearing a burqa yet? Well see, there ya go. And you know how several Republicans do not believe there’s going to a military takeover of Texas? Well, that’s several too many.
So, the Basels have hired about 16 people with hidden cameras to follow around the more moderate Republican state reps and senators to blindside them in restaurants and out with their families to secretly tape them. They claim to have 800 hours of secret tapes they will use in ads against these moderate incumbents.
The little chickens have come home to roost! And Democrats are snickering at all the whining.
“It’s like they were almost stalking us,” said Rep. Patricia Harless, R-Spring, who navigated a detour through the Capitol with another female lawmaker last Friday to avoid the group.
“It’s a sleazy campaign tactic,” state Rep. Charlie Geren, a Fort Worth Republican who was approached three times last week, said of the secret videotaping. “There’s some real scumbags in this business.”
But, Charlie, Honey, they are YOUR scumbags. You taught them to do these things and honored them when they did.
I didn’t hear you hollering scumbag or stalking when they were breaking into a Democratic Senator’s office or unfairly altering a recording causing an African American woman to lose her job. Oh no, no whining then.
Hey Guys, you made your bed. Now nighty night.
Thanks to Lorraine in Spring for the heads up.
Yeah, what goes around comes around. I’m not surprised, but I have to admit that i’m delighted.
1But but but….if they are sucessful will I be wearing a burqa? These people terrify me. I have granddaughters who need control of their lady parts!!
2Pimp and hooker? That wasn’t acting; that was casting to type.
3Austin?? Rank amateurs! Double dog dare them to try their act in NV. We know our pimp (Shelly Adelson) and our biggest hookers (GOP ring kissing presidential hopeless).
Psssssst Come here, Hannah and Joey. Really; “what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” Hint: start at the Venetian.
Shhhhhh now everyone. Don’t tell them about the best known secret to the corollary of that advertising campaign, the desert burial.
4Got any volunteers to video stalk the Basels? The people of Austin need to know what various criminal elements are doing in their city. And turnabout is a tasty dish.
5Justice may be blind, but she surely has a sense of humor! it couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of guys and gals. (snicker).
6Ah, the dragons have come home to roost and they are hungry and therefore look out upon the local fauna of meaty R’s and figure, “damn, thats a great full meal and will go nicely with ketchup!”
Peace out.
7Sounds like a nice little moneymaker to me.
8kinda curious to know who’s paying the bill for that video?
9Someone wants to move Texas even further to the right?
I’ve said it before and I will say it again: There is something pathologically wrong with Republicans. A lot of them think that nothing is ever conservative enough.
If you think everything is too liberal, maybe the problem is you.
10They’ve been feeding the alligator hoping it would eat them last for years. Glad it is happening to them.
11Borrowed.
“I used to vote Republican. I also used to crap my pants. Eventually I got smart enough to stop doing both things.” – Me.
Another thought; Take any conservative talking point – defined per dictionary,
‘holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion.” when did it begin? How and who started it? Suspect the average repub retard will voluntarily fly under the nuance:)
New repub evangelical OT mantra; Beat your plowshares into swords.
12Oh my, the “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” really happened to the Repugs. To quote Frankie Lymon,
13“Hooray and Halleluia, You had it comin’ to ya’. Goodie Goodie
for me, goodie goodie for you. I hope you’re satisfied, you rascal, you.”
Time to sing, dance and shake a tail feather, for poetic justice is alive and well and biting the Republicans in the a$$.
If I were a moderate Texas Republican, I would form “The American Phoenix Flame-Roasted Chicken Foundation.” The name derived from what will happen to a couple of bird brains (Hannah Giles & Joseph Basel) when the moderates roast them on a grill over the embers of their own phoenix, which for some reason never quite emerged from the ashes.
That is to say, follow the two bird brains around and get 800 hours of video of them. It can’t be good. It would be a thankless job, but might later turn a profit when released as “Jacka55es Gone Wild!!.”
14Oh my the eternal Republican dictator’s quandary: who’s watching the watchers?
15Kharma, We’re Feeling Kharma…
16Sung to the tune of Johnny Burnette’s song Dreamin’ ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreamin%27_(Johnny_Burnette_song) )
I think the Repubs can move farther to the right because they’ve got themselves on some sort of Mobius strip. They keep going round the bend and meeting themselves coming back the other way.
17These two should be followed with a go-pro camera on a drone every time they leave a building. The drone should probably bear an Abbott sticker.
18Night night,
19Sleep tight,
Republican bed bugs DO bite!!!!
Cluck, cluck, cluck!
20They broke into Mary Landrieu’s husband? That sounds sort of rude.
