Holy cow.  Just when you thought that Rick Perry couldn’t get any more shockingly blatant with love of hate, this happens.

Perry has appointed Nadine Berry to be Secretary of State in Texas.

Maybe she’s a very nice lady.  I dunno because it’s her husband who is always in the headlines.

Michael Berry is a piece of work.

He is a radio talk show host and a former Houston councilman.  He calls Houston Mayor Annise Parker “Annise Porker” because that’s just so damn funny.  He calls Democrats “libtards,” which is a total riot.  His humor development stopped at 6 years old.

To his credit, he did apologize for saying that the mosques near the 911 site would be blown up.  But, it was a not-sorry apology.

He is a complete and total drooling at the mouth homophobe.   Which is kinda funny since he was charged in a parking lot hit and run at a well-known Houston gay bar at 11:00 at night.  He says he just went there for a beer.  He lists his religion as a Southern Baptist so we suspect he was going for breaking all ten commandments at once on a Tuesday night.  You gotta give him credit – he came damn near close.

The icing on the cake is that he recently opened his own bar in my county — called The Redneck Country Club.  It features rednecks, beer and guns and calls itself Patriotic.  Instead of the Holy Trinity, Berry has the Patriotic Trinity:  Rednecks, beer and guns.

Now if you’re wondering why it’s upsetting to me for his for wife to be appointed Secretary of State, here’s why.

The Texas Secretary of State is in charge of elections.  Yes, Michael Berry’s wife is going to be the Katherine Harris of Texas.  What could I possibly have to worry about?

So you’re Liz Cheney and your husband still works Virginia and he’s not about move his real special patootie to godfersaken Wyoming. The solution? Register to vote in both states, of course.

Liz Cheney’s Senate campaign in Wyoming continues to be dogged with news about her family.

Politico reported Wednesday that Cheney’s husband was registered to vote in both Virginia and Wyoming despite signing a document in the latter state saying he was not registered elsewhere.

This is like being a little bit pregnant. Either you are or you’re not.

Does anyone else feel any sweet irony that her family make her famous in the first place and now they are going to take her down?

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Okay, I have difficulty understanding any damn thing about Rick Santorum. Hell, I don’t even understand how he can leave the house dressed like that.

His position on health care made my toes crinkle. I read it twice and I still think I didn’t understand it and I gotta tell you that Miss Rita’s School of Cosmetology of Del Rio, Texas, has a very strong reading comprehension program so I’m no amateur at this.

I think he might be saying that the government wants universal health care so they can kill off the people who vote against them. Maybe he’s saying that.

It’s actually a pretty clever system. Take care of the people who can vote and people who can’t vote, get rid of them as quickly as possible by not giving them care so they can’t vote against you. That’s how it works.”

That’s what he’s saying, right?

Thanks to TexasTrailerParkTrash for the heads up.

I have a sincere thank you to make.

As you know, the Texas senate race on the GOP side is cruisin’ for a bruisin’. Crazy guy Tea Partier Steve Stockman is challenging incumbent Senator Slick Cornyn.

This is going to be fun. And we know that because it is happening right now.

The National Rifle Association is backing Republican Sen. John Cornyn in his re-election bid, giving ardently pro-gun challenger Rep. Steve Stockman a setback. … Stockman has been endorsed by Gun Owners of America, another prominent national gun group.

I can hardly wait for the War of Gun Nuts. I thank both men and their well organized militias.

The most vicious, brutal war on Christmas involves butter, sugar, and eggs.

If you can handle the brutality, there is more here.

Thanks to John for the heads up.
