“He’s Just a Hound.”
Everybody’s favorite dog, Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R-Tenn.), the God-fearing Republican who asked his mistress to have an abortion, appears to have a busier schedule than we first thought.
Another mistress has come forward.
He picked her up while he was her doctor.
… she eventually dropped him as a physician after he kept pressing to keep it going.
“His biggest thing that’s completely unethical is him just picking up women while he’s a doctor,” the woman told the paper. “I mean, seriously, that’s his big no-no. … He’s just a hound.”
A hound? Oh that is so appropriate. I admit to laughing out loud and doing a little happy dance to see a woman take down a hypocrite with such an impressive word.
Thanks to Sharon for the heads up.
Judge Gilberto Hinojosa, Chairman of The Texas Democratic Party
On Tuesday night, just mere hours after I addressed Democratic supporters at an Early Vote rally in Lubbock County, a local Democrat was assaulted by four men vandalizing Democratic and Obama yard signs.
Lubbock has experienced a high level of recent vandalism targeting Democratic yard signs. Hundreds of Obama yard signs have been stolen from neighborhoods all across Lubbock. Over half a dozen large 4×4 and 4×8 signs have been stolen, vandalized, or shot. And two 4×4 signs were vandalized with the n-word written multiple times and mustard sprayed all over the signs.
On Tuesday night, Leo Flores watched over some signs with a video camera. Just days prior, Lubbock Republican Party County Chair Carl Tepper had said, “I have a weird suspicion that the Democrats might have damaged their own signs. It’s an outlandish story.”
Leo wanted to capture proof that Democrats in Lubbock County were being targeted, and to disprove the absurd Republican talking point that they had caused the vandalism themselves.
At about 2a.m. four men drove up to attack the signs. Leo was there with his camera on, and called 911. The vandals then jumped in their truck and went to where Leo stood. They attempted to take his camera and punched the volunteer in his face. Throughout all of this, Leo kept his camera on.
The Lubbock police have now released that video, and we share this breaking news and footage with you.
You can catch that video here.
This spew of ignorance and hatred needs to stop. Across the State of Texas, Democrats are being targeted for expressing their constitutionally protected rights of speech and assembly. Meanwhile, the Republican Party will not address this hatred. They deny that it exists. Well, our footage proves otherwise.
The Texas Democratic Party will continue to fight against these hate crimes and stand with our local communities across the State.
We’re won’t let aggressive and hate cause us to back down. Throughout history we have stood our moral ground. And we stand strongly again now.
Yours,
Gilberto Hinojosa
Chair
Texas Democratic Party

Just In Case
Just in case you were considering being in Texas today and not block walking or phone banking for Obama —
Highway 71 in Fayette County (which makes it between me and Austin) there is this sign today.
And don’t forget to enjoy the hanging chair.
Thanks to Vickie for the heads up.
Yeah, Because Obama is Always Bombing Someplace
Desperate men say desperate things. But, of course, Rupert Murdoch says desperate things on happy days.
He tweeted ….
@rupertmurdoch Romney looking better and better while Obama seems devoid of anything new. May try October surprise, bomb someplace! Remember Clinton?
Yes, because Obama has spent the past 4 years bombing someplace.
And those of us who still have the ability to remember know that Clinton was bombing al Qaeda camps because he had heard “Osama bin Laden determined to strike within the United States.” When he decided to do something about it, Rupert Murdoch and his evil empire kept yelling, “Wag the dog.”
And, no, Romney is not looking better and better.
Nate Silver —
No, Rupert, Romney looks like the spent the night in the dishwasher on the pots and pan cycle. Yet, even with that, he still has not come clean.
