Remember smiley Cathy McMorris Rodgers who gave the “official” Republican response to President Obama’s SOTU?

Oh such a nice smile.  And women should always smile a lot when they are talking so they don’t seem too aggressive.  Which is my way of telling you to never trust a woman who smiles when she says something horrible or controversial because she’s trying to be loved instead of right.  A theory that Cathy sweetly proves for me.

She says she is all for equal pay for equal work.  Yep, all for that stuff.

Well, except when you want to actually do it.

But McMorris Rodgers actually voted against laws meant to address the pay disparity between men and women four times. She voted against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act twice, which lengthened the time for victims of pay discrimination to file a complaint. She also voted twice against the Paycheck Fairness Act….

Say cheese, Cathy.

And that is why she is a rock star.

Bill Maher is running some damn thing called Flip a District, where he and his fans will attempt to oust a sitting congressvarmint.

Lt. Col. Wesley Reed

He wants it to be someone who has a chance of winning.  While we have some excellent congressional candidates in Texas to take on Republicans, including Louie Minor in District 31 who is a real comer, the one who probably has the best chance of winning against a real certified dead solid perfect Republican son of a motherless goat is Wesley Reed.

He’s running against Ducky Jammie Boy Blake Farenthold.  Watch the You Tube at that second link.

If Lt. Col. Reed had some money, he could take this seat back.  He is an outstanding speaker, has a gorgeous family, is smart as Rice University with a 50 pound dictionary, and with just a little help, he can an will win.  He is personally a very charismatic guy with a compelling life story who is comfortable in his own skin.

So is Maher in looking in Texas, and he’s crazy if he doesn’t, this is the race to win.  And, boy howdy, the laughs Farenthold would provide!

UPDATE:  One of his volunteers sent me a better picture.  Did I mention that he’s mighty easy on the eyes, too.

UPDATE:  I just talk to Wesley.  His website will be update professionally by this Friday if not before.  It just so happens that Bill Maher is com in to Corpus Christi this weekend to do a show.  Corpus is in the district.  Wesley’s supporters are putting together a packet to give Maher.  MOSTLY, Wesley thanks you for your donations.

For those of you who don’t understand the public’s fascination with the GOP Lt. Governor’s primary race, this will help.

Send a dollar or two to my favorite Democrat on the ticket:  Leticia Van De Putte.  Momma’s ain’t happy, Honey.

If you want to hear a barnstormer of a speech by one of our state’s finest, listen to the speech on the front page of her website.

Go on, help her.  You’ll feel better about yourself all day.
