This arrived from the Wendy Davis campaign this morning.  I was on a conference call last night with the campaign and heard about it there.  It is legitimate.

Dear Friends,

We have received a number of reports that an entity has been making robo-calls to our supporters in attempt to solicit donations.   The call begins with an audio of a woman [whom callers are led to believe is Senator Davis] and continues with giving callers an option to press “1” to continue hearing the message.  Some of these calls have reportedly made solicitations for campaign contributions or simply rang endlessly.

These calls are not from the Wendy Davis campaign nor from anyone affiliated with our campaign.  If you receive any of these fraudulent calls, please transcribe as much information as you can from the call, note the caller and number from the caller ID and send us an e-mail to info@wendydavistexas.com.  We are tracking these calls and are continuing to alert our supporters of this deviance.

Thank you again for your support.

Best regards,

Sydney L. Jones
Political Director
Wendy Davis for Texas

However, if you are over 65 or disabled, you will get a legitimate robo call from Leticia Van De Putte letting you know that your form to request a ballot by mail will arrive soon.  Robo calls are worthless unless they convey an immediate message.  This message is immediate and important.  That’s why we’re doing it.

Be careful out there.  Republicans are the dog dump of ethics.

Congressvarmint Patrick J. Tiberi (R-Ohio), a close friend of John Boehner, lamented the plight that Boehner faces trying to unite the GOP.

Poor John.   Now he knows how Dr. Frankenstein felt when he realized his monster needed to be chained in the basement.

Anyway, not truly understanding the irony of all this, Tiberi defends Boehner by saying —

“Right now, Jesus himself couldn’t be the speaker and get 218 Republicans behind something, so I think Speaker Boehner is trying his best to come up with a plan that can get close to that.”

No, I think the words you’re looking for are “especially Jesus.”  They’d throw that loving peace-freak selfless socialist sumbitch in the dungeon.

Thanks to Aggieland Liz for the heads up.

True story.

At a GOP lunch last week, Sen. John McCain noted that “some crazy guy from Texas” stormed out during President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address. “Hey,” Texas Sen. Ted Cruz chimed in, “I didn’t walk out of the State of the Union.” The packed room erupted in laughter.

That was Steve Stockman, but “crazy guy from Texas” does not limit the possibilities in any manner.

Thanks to Larry for the heads up and John for the cool graphic.

South Carolina.

A guys says that his friend accidentally shot him in the head.

But, that ain’t all his friend did.

The victim with his family

An Upstate man said he is thanking his lucky stars that he’s still alive after being accidentally shot in the head by a friend, who never even called 911.

Michael Burdette said John Philip Thompson accidentally shot him in the head while he was showing Burdette his handgun, but then only gave him a towel while he lay bleeding.

Yeah, walk it off dude.

After “a while” the friend finally called the guy’s wife to come help him.

And in the understatement of the year —

When Spartanburg County deputies arrived, they arrested Thompson on a charge possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.

Burdette said he believes that is the reason Thompson did not want to call for help.

Ya think?

 Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

Remember when I told you a while ago that Super Deluxe Brand Christian and Megachurch pastor John Hagee had endorsed one of the Republican doofuses (would that be doofi?) running for Lt. Governor?  And that he had endorsed Dan Patrick?

Dan Patrick:  Now you know why he went into radio.

You might recall Dan as the guy who declared bankruptcy, built his empire of hidden assets back up but still refuses to repay those he screwed with the bankruptcy because “the law does not require it.”  Yeah, the guy with zero morals.

Anyway, another of the doofi (I’ve come to like that word), Jerry Patterson, put on Facebook that Dan Patrick was lying like a horse thief caught by the posse.  Patterson claims that Hagee never endorsed Dan.  It kinda went like this.

Susan Rouse, a volunteer with the Patterson campaign, said she phoned Hagee Ministries and asked if it was true that Pastor Hagee had endorsed Dan Patrick. When the secretary asked why she wanted to know, she replied that she was “surprised that Pastor Hagee would endorse DP due to his “negative factual history.”

Whoa, cool zinger!

So then Patterson said he had an email from Hagee saying that he didn’t endorse Patrick.  But, Patterson can’t produce that email now so … well, you know how a liar’s contest goes, whoever talks last wins.

The last word came from Hagee who said he does indeed endorse Dan Patrick.

And I am certain that Patrick paid for it fair and square.  Now if the check bounces ….

Damn, this is fun.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.

Laura Ingraham has one of those voices that sounds like a teaspoon got caught in the garbage disposal.  If I listen to it for more than a minute, my left eye starts twitching and little spittle things run out the sides of my mouth.  It’s not attractive.

So, I am real happy when someone else tells me the dog dump ignorant things she says.

Apparently her new Evilest Person Ever is Sonia Sotomayor.  I just adore Justice Sotomayor and besides Justice Kagan, she’s my favorite.  I bought her book.  Even read it.  Apparently, Laura Ingraham did not.

Laura was upset because Justice Sotomayor told Yale Law students that she was the first justice to use the term “undocumented worker” instead of “illegal alien.”  She said the term “illegal alien” seems insulting to her.

Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham launched an ignorant smear against Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor, suggesting that she has to choose between her “immigrant family background” or the Constitution.

Immigrant family background?  Let’s take a wiki trip.

In 1917, the U.S. granted citizenship to Puerto Ricans.

Justice Sotomayor was born in the Bronx and her mother served in the Women’s Army Corp, you bimbo.

These fake blondes are  giving us real blondes a bad reputation.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
