Skeet? You Don’t Have Any Empty Beer Cans?
You know, I really wish the President hadn’t said that stuff about skeet shooting at Camp David.
First off, I’m from Texas and even I don’t think that the ability to kill skeet is something we need in a President. I’d been far more impressed if he had said that he shot empty beer cans off stumps.
Second off, Dick Cheney could shoot a friend in the face but that didn’t win him the Nobel Prize.
Third off, we had a woman who could field dress a damn moose and we were not impressed.
Last off, Marsha Blackburn, a United States Representative from Tennessee who sold all her skeet for botox, now wants to go on vacation with the President, which is something big considering that her hometown has a monument to Nathaniel Bedford Forrest, a founder of the KKK.
Now here’s where it gets weird.
She challenged him to a skeet shooting contest.
“If he is a skeet shooter, why have we not heard of this? Why have we not seen photos? Why has he not referenced it at any point in time as we have had this gun debate that is ongoing?” the Tennessee Republican asked CNN’s Erin Burnett.
Remember birthers? Now we got Skeeters?
Oh Lord, help us.
Maybe it’s just me, but I suspect that the day we let some crazy Republican woman go to a secluded place with the President and give her a gun is the day cows give beer.
Somebody needs to sit Marsha down and explain to the poor dear that if she does in fact beat Barack Obama at skeet shooting, that does not make her President. Shooting hoops makes you President.
Thanks to Kathleen for the heads up.
“I suspect that the day we let some crazy Republican woman go to a secluded place with the President and give her a gun is the day cows give beer.”
Good grief I hope so. Let’s pray we don’t have a “skeet shooting summit.” She’ll Cheney him. Trust me, I live in Tennessee, Marsha Blackburn is a nutball. She’s the one who started buying up lightbulbs and giving them to people for Christmas because the lightbulb industry’s own higher efficiency standards offended her free market principles.
1And who says PBO won’t Cheney her first? Why do you think the Orange Man and Mitch the Chin haven’t suggested this to the President but let Marsha do it?
2Hey, Marsha. Sweetie. Are you gonna challenge him to game of checkers too because he played it with his daughters and you never witnessed it?
Good Grief.
3President Obama is not a redneck. Marsha Blackburn is, and I bet she has shot a lot of beer cans in her day. I like paint cans, you can really tell if you put the bullet in the quadrant you were aiming for (my rifle errs up and to the left, so I gotta correct my aim down and to the right). Skeets smash when you hit them so they’re not great for that either.
4I’m just guessing here.
It’s possible that THIS President of The United States might not think it’s all that cool, or really even necessary…… to have people see him shooting a gun.
Marsha, Honey, if I were you…… I’d work on that (3) point shot……….FROM OUTSIDE THE LINE….
Just sayin’
5Please don’t tell her about shooting hoops. She’s bound to misunderstand…
6Now…if we could Blackburn to just go skeet shooting with Stacy Campfield….another one of my state’s MENSA rejects.
7Poor little Marsha the Lightbulb Moran of Williamson County,Tennessee – home of the KKK founder Nathan Bedford Forrest. It seems to bleach and botox along with her short skirts and Aqua Net have simply given her the vapors – By the way, as a resident of Marsha’s part of Tennessee, she is a 63 yro woman who pretends she is a teenage flirt – guess it works on CongressImbeciles of the RePig Variety – her voice is horrible – I hear that voice daily whenever a bleached blonde sickeningly sweet Tennessee gal is about to stab me or someone in the back with her little knife and twist it – that is one of the HUGE differences between Texas and Tennessee Women – at least us Texan women tell you what’s up right to your face~
8Good grief.
9Oh, Marsha is not a redneck, just a liar – and she hails from the FAILED STATE OF MISSISSIPPI~bet she has not shot a gun in 40 years if ever.
10Good God, Eykis! A redneck wannabe??
11Juanita, you don’t really think Sarah Palin could or would actually field dress a moose do you? I cannot see her ruining her manicure. After all, she had to have her Daddy help her shoot a rifle properly on her teevee show. Golly darn, let’s stop repeating her PR myths. Sounds like Marsha and Sarah could be bosom buddies (as long as the silicon in Palin’s chest didn’t explode on contact.
BTW, I am so grateful that President Obama doesn’t do those silly photo ops like Georgie W did – gawd, I was never so sick of seeing a chainsaw (that someone else had to start for him so I hear) every time Dubya used his ranch to show how “normal” a good old boy he was. Dems just don”t seem to feel the need to prove their manhood through guns and sharp landscaping tools.
12Liz,
Yes, Marsha the Moron would NEVER wreck her manicure or get her nails dirty – she is simple-minded dolt who NEVER answers a question.
As far as @StaceyCampfield and his idiocy on outing gay kids by their teachers, he does NOT HAVE ANY KIDS – Evangelibagging Idiots have overtaken the statehouse.
13So as soon as Obama mentions shooting something, Republicans come out of the woodwork wanting to join him in a bipartisan effort to… shoot stuff. Maybe that’s the solution to gridlock in Washington. Instead of voting Yea or Nay on bills the House & Senate could shoot a Yea target or a Nay target. It would certainly help to get Mitch McConnell to stop his filibusters, because other Republican senators would have itchy trigger fingers wanting to shoot their vote.
14Maybe Marsh and Dick Cheney could go shooting together and shoot each other in the face. It couldn’t hurt their looks. We already know she’s good at shooting off her mouth and shooting herself in the foot.
15‘The Representatives are revolting!’
‘You said it. They stink on ice!’

16Are you sure skeets aren’t an endangered species? The previous prez liked shooting endangered species.
17Ahh Barack, remember how that bowling photo op turned out?
18Didn’t Kathryn Stockett write about Marsha Blackburn in her bestseller, “The Help”, except she changed the name of the character? At any rate, Blackburn looks like a person who could use a nice slice of chocolate pie.
19I don’t think the President’s skeet-shooting skill is of major importance. The guy has drones. With Hellfire missiles.
20We’re so proud of Marsha… she’s “special”.
She says she doubts the President’s word about shooting skeet because she’s never seen a photo of the man firing a gun? Marsha, the man claims to have fathered two beautiful children, but we’ve never seen pictures of him making babies. Is he lying about the whole fatherhood thing, too?
A state would be hard-pressed to find a way to out-stupid the delegation to Congress we’ve sent from Tennessee.
Like I said, we’re so proud…
21@Squatio: Marsha Blackburn’s bio also states that she has two children, but we have never seen pictures of her creating her babies either. If we did, maybe it would help to identify the father.
22Marsha Blackburn is trying to put away the Michele Bachmann Batshit Crazy trophy early.It’s only January,for goodness’ sake! Pace yourself!
23Great idea, umptydump. Minnie’s chocolate pie should be served to the Republican caucus daily! If they’re going to shovel it, they might as well eat it too.
24Blackburn needs to decrease her daily intake of cheap gin!
