Do you think it would work if we just paid him $500 cash American money for every day he keeps his mouth shut?  Hell, that would be a bargain.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) went after the Obama administration’s handling of the Boston Marathon bombing investigation in a radio interview Thursday — and along the way he claimed that Muslim Brotherhood members are in the administration and influencing its decisions.

So do you figure these Muslim Brotherhood people are acting like Hispanics?

“…this administration has so many Muslim Brotherhood members that have influence that they just are making wrong decisions for America.”

We want names and numbers, Louie.  Go visit Senator Ted Cruz.  If he can count communists at Harvard, surely you can count Muslim Brotherhood members in the administration.

Thanks to Sherry for the heads up.

The good news is that Governor Jan “the finger in the President’s face” Brewer is term-limited out in Arizona.

The bad news?  This guy is running.

Disbarred former Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas has announced he will run for governor in 2014.

In an e-mail to members of the media, the Republican said he file paperwork today with the Secretary of State’s Office.

“I’ll be focusing on the need to protect public safety, ensure border security and fight corruption, among other issues,” Thomas said in the e-mail. “Voters will be urged to watch the video of my State Bar hearing and see for themselves how honest prosecutors are railroaded for fighting corruption in this state.”

And what was he disbarred for?

… misusing his office to attack the county’s judiciary, independent media, Latino residents, and any perceived adversaries of him and his staunch ally, Joe Arpaio.

This guys makes Jan Brewer looks like Indira Ghandi.

Honey, this is Arizona.  Being disbarred for corruption  is a badge of honor.

Thanks to still gramiam for the heads up.

You gotta love New York’s Republican State Assemblyman Steve Katz.  Well, you don’t have to, but you oughta.

Steve Katzs sit on the New York Assembly’s Committee on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse.  He voted against legalizing medical marijuana last year because, you know, sick people don’t need to be drug abusers.

Well, guess who got arrested last month with a baggie of pot?  Steve Katz.  His punishment?  His record will be wiped clean if he does 20 hours of community service.

Ring, ring.  Calling Assemblyman Katz.  Rob Portman on line 2.

Thanks to Carl for the heads up.

Frank Luntz, the popular GOP wordsmith and adviser, thought he was speaking privately when he said what everybody else says privately.  However, this time, Luntz was being taped.

Frank Luntz, the media-friendly Republican consultant and word wiz, told a group of college students this week that Rush Limbaugh and right-wing talk radio are “problematic” for the GOP and partly responsible for the stark polarization within the nation’s political discourse.

Ya think?

Of course, Limbaugh will get even because he’s a big fat bully.

But there’s more …

He warned that if his party did not resolve its internal divides, it could lose the House of Representatives next year.

I because of gerrymandering, I seriously doubt that.  But, who knows?  Maybe they can cook and eat each other.  There’s always hope.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

Think real hard. If you were Mark Sanford, would you want to hack off even more people?

Okay, Sanford took out that full page ad explaining why he violated a court order. In that ad, he published his cell phone number for people to call him to ask him questions.

Not surprisingly, people called him.

So, Sanford, who is unraveling like fresh cut satin, decides to publish all the phone numbers of the people who called him. He was attempting to shame them.

Now here’s where it gets tricky. Mark Sanford has no shame so trying to give some away isn’t working too well. It appears that his brains are leaking out. And a passel of shame has unloaded on him faster than six legged jackrabbit.

I’m gonna be kinda sad when this guy goes away. On the other hand, I thought he’d go away after he got caught the first time, so we may be in for more Sanford hanky panky.
