Texas Senator John Cornyn has gotten a little smartie pants about the Tea Party since they took a beating.

On the Twitter Thing, some Tea Party member took to Twitter to say that the Tea Party should have run Katrina Pearson (who ran against and got beat by Pistol Pete Sessions) against “RINO Cornyn.”

Cornyn replied thusly —

For those unfamiliar with Twit-Speak, Cornyn was mocking the idea by saying, “[Yeah, Buddy, she] Did so great against Pete Sessions.”

And that’s how you know that the Tea Party can’t touch the corporate owned whores of Texas politics.

So the good news is that the stupid Tea Party is dead.  The bad news is that smart greedy bastards beat them.

John A. Kwitkoski, our resident graphics guy, is glad we’ve narrowed down our opponents by letting them eat each other.  That, indeed, helps us narrow our focus in November.

Republicans must be hard up.

George W Bush has taken to raising money for them by hawking socks.

Yeah, socks.  Like, Put a Sock In It, Buddy.

An email went out earlier this week that fell into the hands of Fenway Fran and she just knew that we’d want to know about this helluva deal.  For merely $35, you can buy a semi-official pair of George W Bush socks.

Okay, here’s the deal.  I know that these socks are going to be made in China by child labor.  I just know that.  However, I am not willing to give $35 to Republicans to prove it.  Plus, I would not for one minute trust them with my credit card.  They’d start a war and use my card to pay for it.

So, if you know any Republicans, bet them $10 that if they order these socks, they will not be Made in America socks.  You make $10 and they make goofy faces.

It’ll work, I tell ya!

Thanks to Fenway Fran for the heads up.

Oh Yeah?

You wanna tell me how we could do that, McChrystal?  You seems to be the damn expert on blame, Skippy.

It is impossible to overreact to what happened at the VA.   We owe our soldiers a sacred trust.   When that trust is violated, we damn well better overreact.   We damn well better mean business.

McChrystal can kiss my big blue butt.  He would do well to put his political future on a back burner and honor the service and sacrifice of the fighting men and women of America.

If anybody happens to run into McChrystal, please tell him I said “bite me.”  And that I growled.

(Okay, okay, I admit that I might have overreacted just a tiny bit to McChrystal’s self serving and pompous comment, but that guy is General Jerk in my mind.)

Every single time you think he’s dead, he rises up again to call people names in his very Christian manner.

Tom DeLay says that Michelle Obama is promoting racism.

Yeah, it’s crazy.

Former House Majority Leader Tom Delay says Michelle Obama is promoting racism when she warns about the return of segregated schools across the United States.

“What she’s pushing for is racism. Michelle Obama and Barack Obama can’t do anything unless there’s a certain amount of race involved in it,” DeLay told “The Steve Malzberg Show” on Newsmax TV.

“Frankly, we have improved our public schools all across this nation. We’re spending tons more money than we ever have,” he said Monday.

Honey, when you are reduced from the highest levels of the House of Representatives, to Dancing with the Stars, to the Steve Malzberg Show, it’s time to hang it up.

DeLay continues …

“But mostly around the country race has no part being played in our educational system,” DeLay said.

“They just want to keep that going because it just keeps people motivated to see their point of view, their world of view, and follow them right over the cliff.”

That’s not English.  That’s zombie-talk.  I am sure of it.  That’s “somebody ate your brain talk.”

Thanks to Chamlee for the heads up.

Asa Hutchinson, the damn Governor of Arkansas and major Voter ID devotee, showed up at the polls yesterday without his voter ID.

But, not to worry …

Spokesman Christian Olson told The Associated Press that Asa Hutchinson forgot his ID when he attempted to vote at the polls in Bentonville on Monday. Olson says a staffer was able to retrieve the ID and bring it to Hutchinson so he could vote.

Hutchinson thought the incident was a “little bit of an inconvenience” but still believes the law is necessary.

So, there ya go – that’s the answer.  No ID?  Get your staff to retrieve it.

Why the hell didn’t we think of that before now?

Thanks to David for the heads up.

Hello, Virginia.  And the Shootin’ Siblings Motor Home Park.

Two brothers have a fight at the trailer park.

Police say a 23-year-old man living in a mobile home, had a severe showdown with his older brother. The visiting brother came to check on his sibling, after alleged prior arguments and word that the younger brother shot off a gun inside the home.

Police say the older brother claims his younger brother flashed a gun. The older brother then shot the younger brother in the face and neck. He told police it was in self-defense.

The older brother called 911 and waited for emergency crews. His wounded brother rushed to the hospital. The man spit up a bullet that passed through his nose.

You know, you could take that circus act on the road and get paid money to let people watch it.

(And if the image of sitting bullets doesn’t keep you awake at night, there’s something wrong with you.)

Thanks to Rick for the heads up.
