I think we’re going to start having Pitiful Tuesday, where we all look at the most pitiful Republican and say, “Bless his heart.”

This week is Karl Rove.  He’s pitiful because he keeps saying that Hillary Clinton has brain damage.  Here’s the pitiful part:  even if she does, that just proves that even people with brain damage are smarter than Karl Rove.

The official diagnosis was a blood clot. Rove told the conference near LA Thursday, “Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she’s wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what’s up with that.”

And here’s the other pitiful part:  he thinks he’s a doctor.  Dumb and delusional is not a winning combination.  Even in Texas.  Okay, sometimes in Texas.  Just not always.

Y’all, that’s pitiful.  Bless his heart.

Come on, everybody – bless. his. heart.

State Senator Dan Patrick, who is knuckle dragging conservative, is leading in his internal polls.

Every Democrat in Texas is kicking up their heels, because a Dan Patrick candidacy means lots of Republicans will vote for Leticia Van De Putte because Dan Patrick even scares Texas Republicans.

He’s edging up on being Louie Gohmert crazy.

Fourteen points! Boy howdy, that there is some fancy polling numbers.

I’ll be sleeping with a grin tonight.

Good Golly Almighty.  Louie has done busted a brain fart.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) linked LGBT activism to female genital mutilation and claimed that “intolerant fascist liberals” want to ban women from owning property.

The lawmaker told Congress on Friday that “intellectual fascism” violated the civil rights of conservative Christians.

There appears to be no Rosetta Stone to translate what Louie means when he gets to going on rants like these.  I guess he’s grown tired of Nazis and has moved on to female genital mutilation.

He then compared the cancellation of the cable TV reality show to genital mutilation, forced marriage, and other indignities imposed upon women in other nations.

“It is not tolerance that becomes intolerant and says a woman who was tortured — I don’t know what else you would call some of the procedures that were done to her most private areas in the name of religion,” Gohmert said. “It was not voluntary.”

I really don’t know what that means, but I think he’s spun himself into a ball and bouncing around talking about women’s private parts keeps him aloft.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

You know the picture of Michelle Obama holding up the sign that says, “Bring Back Our Girls”?

Ann Coulter just could not let that go.

Which leads us to wonder what country she’s talking about.  The one where only white men owning property voted?  The one that had slavery?  The one where rich white girls had nice stuff and every other woman suffered?  That country?

So Michelle Obama joins hands with other women to end the kidnapping of young girls and Ann Coulter’s response is, “Look at me.  Look at me.  LOOK at me.”

Thanks to Elizabeth for the heads up.

Let’s say you’re a Republican congressvarmint and let’s say you’re on the committee that writes tax laws.

Okay, that’s a great place to start cheating on your taxes, right?

Todd Young from Indiana started right there.

First, he took a property tax deduction for a house he didn’t live in and then he delayed paying his county taxes until CNN got on him like green on grass.

On his politician website, Young says, “Taxes are complicated.”  Not really, Todd.  You owe property taxes, you pay them.  Not hard.

And then the cherry on top?

Smith was already frustrated that the check Young used to pay the $4,000 in back taxes bounced, leading the treasurer to complain that Young’s problems have “created serious complications for our office.”

Straight from Young’s website —

The single greatest threat to our nation’s future – to the future we owe to our children – is Washington’s failure to adopt a specific, credible plan to address our nation’s rapidly growing national debt. The plain truth is that that we spend more than we take in and borrow more than 40 cents for every dollar spent.

When asked about his hot check, Young replied, “Benghazi.  Freedom.”

Not really, but you know for a dead certain fact that’s all he talked about the rest of the day.

Thanks to David for the heads up.

Katy, Texas is just down the road from me.

They said was supposed to be funny.

Thanks to Rene for the heads up.
