Okay, so what would you say about a Republican congressman who is very Godly and pro-life and asked his mistress to have an abortion?

You would say Ho hum.

Just another Republican.

A pro-life, family-values congressman who worked as a doctor before winning election as a Tea Party-backed Republican had an affair with a patient and later pressured her to get an abortion, according to a phone call transcript obtained by The Huffington Post.

The congressman, Rep. Scott DesJarlais of Tennessee, was trying to save his marriage at the time, according to his remarks on the call, made in September of 2000. And, according to three independent sources familiar with the call and the recording, he made the tape himself.

When asked about the tape, he admitted it was true but said it was “just another sordid detail dredged up by the opposition.”

Dude, you did it.  You were sordid.  Nobody had to dredge.  There it was, filed under Sordid Scott.

Honey, you are not the victim of dirty politics.  You ARE dirty politics.

Thanks to Deb for the heads up.

It’s been a while here since we named Nut of Month here.

I'm Too Crazy For My Seat

Joe Walsh and good sense go together like pancakes and mustard.

Now he’s attacking Tammy Duckworth for picking out a dress to wear to the Democratic National Convention where she addressed the audience.

Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) deployed a strange attack on his Democratic opponent, Iraq War veteran and former Veterans Affairs official Tammy Duckworth, at a debate Tuesday night — brandishing a photo of her picking out a dress for the Democratic National Convention.

The point that Walsh intended to illustrate was that Duckworth was a political insider and a handpicked candidate of the national Democrats.

Okay, the green eyed monster is all over Joe because nobody asked him to speak anywhere.  Hell, the man can’t get a word at the Lion’s Club.

Secondly, what did he expect her to do?  Wear a feed sack?

Joe proudly announced that while Tammy was picking out a dress, he was marching in a parade.  Dude, a parade only needs a few clowns.  After that, they get boring.  And, Darlin’, you and you alone filled the clown quota.  At the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Rose Bowl combined.

I’m fixing to tell you the damnest thing you’ve ever seen or heard.

Today you get to know why I’ve been chatting about Cathy Engelbrecht and her True the Vote bullies. There’s been a story a’brewin’.

Cathy Engelbretch did not sniff out voter fraud when it was right under her nose smelling like a goat with a three day old catfish on its back.  And here’s how I know that.

Like Cathy Engelbrecht, I live in County Commissioner Precinct 1 in Fort Bend County.

Bruce Fleming: Loves to Vote

Bruce Fleming is the Republican nominee for County Commissioner, Precinct 1, in Fort Bend County.  He won in a runoff election.  Bruce was also named Precinct Chairman of the Year last year by then GOP County Chairman and thug-about-town Rick Miller.  Miller then recruited Fleming to run for county commissioner which seemed like a good idea at the time since Fleming is unemployed.  Here’s Bruce’s website.

So Ole Bruce is a dandy Republican who loves God and hates government.

Recognizing that rights come from God, not government, and that it should be a servant, not a master, are foundational principles under attack today.

Let me tell you about Bruce’s foundational principles.

In 2006, 2008, and 2010, Bruce voted in person in Fort Bend County and by mail in Pennsylvania in the same general elections. According to his financial disclosure forms, Bruce Fleming also owns a house in Pennsylvania.  (He homesteaded a house in Texas and a house in Pennsylvania, but that illegality is a whole ‘nother story.)  Bruce felt that owning houses in both states gave him the right to vote in the same elections in both states.  That’s a third degree felony in Texas.

Bruce’s Pennsylvania Voting Record

Yes, it’s the same Bruce Fleming with the same address and the same birth date.  And, even though Bruce registered in Fort Bend in 2006, he’s still an eligible voter in Pennsylvania.  We’re still checking to see if he’s asked for a ballot by mail in Pennsylvania this election.

It appears that Bruce’s wife did the same thing in 2010.

So here sits True The Vote and the King Street Patriots out chasing imaginary voter fraud when real voter fraud is happening right here in their own front yard.

Ain’t that just the damnest thing you’ve ever seen?

There’s more to this story and all kinds of ugly Republican twists and splatters but I thought you’d want to chew on the glorious irony of Cathy Engelbrecht’s own Republican county commissioner candidate being a felony chronic serial voter frauder.

My Republican neighbor’s yard.  Let’s see which signs come down before the rest of the story breaks.

Bruce Fleming is running against incumbent Democratic County Commissioner Richard Morrison.   It is a Republican district but Morrison won it four years ago.

If the spirit moves you, make a donation to help Fort Bend Democrats get word out about this. You know you would love to be part of making fun of True the Vote.  You know you would.

UPDATED:  Bev Carter has her say – and boy howdy! – in her column and on the front page.  To be honest, I had forgotten about the asst. county attorney and voter fraud but I do remember the bathroom thing.  So, the only voter fraud in this county has always been Republicans.

Thanks to customer Donna for the great picture.

I need to give you guys a heads-up about the quilt.

A customer here at the beauty salon all the way from Illinois has offered a bid of $2,000.  However, he wants the quilt before November 6th and the benefiting Democratic parties need the money before the election.

So, I am changing the rules.

There is currently a bid of $2,000 on the table.  If we do not get a higher bid in 72 hours – that’s Friday at 10:00 am Texas time – the $2,000 bid will be the winning bid.

You have been warned.  Jump on this sucker if you want it.  It’s a bargain at any price.

This is not very political, but I am fairly sure this guy is a Republican.

Broward County authorities say the winner of a roach eating contest died shortly after eating dozens of roaches and worms.

Several contestants ate insects to win a python, the grand prize of the Friday night contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office says the winner of the challenge, 32-year-old Edward Archbold, became ill soon after and collapsed in front of the store. He was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The sheriff’s office said Monday it was waiting for an autopsy report to determine a cause of death.

Let me save Broward County some money.  He ate damn roaches.  He was probably going to eat the python, too.
