Two months ago, the former communications director for Texas Republican Congressvarmint Blake Farenthold filed suit against him for sexual harassment.

Two months later, he filed an answer.  Two months to think about it and come up with a story.

Reportedly, he answered “most” of the allegations.  Most.  For example —

Among the claims in Greene’s lawsuit is Farenthold suggested during a staff meeting that a lobbyist once propositioned him to have a “threesome.” Farenthold admits the allegation but “denies that the woman who propositioned Rep. Farenthold was a lobbyist, and denies the allegation’s implication that Rep. Farenthold told his staff about the proposition for an improper or lascivious purpose.”

Hummmm … but he doesn’t mention what other purpose he could possibly have had for talking about it.  Was it a Jeopardy question or something?  When he said he had been invited to a threesome, was he talking about tennis?  I mean, if he was, that seems kinda unfair to have two people against one and I could see why he’d complain about it.  Was he talking about a round of golf where one person just rides in the cart but doesn’t play?

Reminder:  This is the congressman who posed for this picture with an underaged girl.

And the “nipple” thing?  He’s got a perfectly good answer.

Farenthold’s response denied that he once communicated to Greene that she “could show her nipples whenever she wanted to” but admits that after Greene became communications director “there was an occasion in which Plaintiff reported to work in a shirt and bra that were made of such flimsy fabric that Plaintiff’s nipples were visible, and that such attire was inappropriate for the Communications Director for a Member of Congress.”

Yeah, sure.  I buy that.

She has asked for a jury trial.  Blake has asked for a threesome.

As my friend Mary said, “Blake can do a threesome by himself.”

I was hoping the trial would be in Texas but she filed it in DeeCee.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.

Oh, y’all, Rick Perry is talking but he ain’t saying nothing.

Now he claims that we like being uninsured in Texas.  It’s like better than Disneyland for us!

“Texas has been criticized for having a large number of uninsured,” he said, “but that’s what Texans wanted. They did not want a large government program forcing everyone to purchase insurance.”

We don’t mind big government forcing people to get car insurance in Texas, but bygawd, that doesn’t have Obama’s name on it.  We’d rather die, thank you very much.

A million and half Texans were denied health coverage because Rick Perry says so.  According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, 70 percent of uninsured Texans are in working families, with 40 percent living below the poverty level.  And, according to Rick, those folks are damn proud to be in awful pain or to die to help Rick Perry’s presidential aspirations.

He’s a sumbitch.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the woman!

She added —

She explained that the justices have dinner together before the annual speech, which she said Scalia hadn’t attended in several years, and that Justice Anthony Kennedy brought along a bottle of California wine that was just too good to resist.

Which brings up the question:  How does Clarence Thomas get there without Scalia holding his hand?

Live reporting from Aladamnbama.

Okay, I realize it’s Montana and there’s not much to do in Montana except look at the sky.

But, for goodness sake, it seems like State Rep David Moore needs a new hobby.

David Moore needs a hobby

Moore introduced a bill about proper attire.

The proposal would expand indecent exposure law to include any nipple exposure, including men’s, and any garment that “gives the appearance or simulates” a person’s buttocks, genitals, pelvic area or female nipple.

Personally, I think he just wanted to say “nipple” a whole bunch of times.

Then he decides to go a step further —

The Republican from Missoula said tight-fitting beige clothing could be considered indecent exposure under his proposal.

“Yoga pants should be illegal in public anyway,” Moore said after the hearing.

Moore said he wouldn’t have a problem with people being arrested for wearing provocative clothing but that he’d trust law enforcement officials to use their discretion. He couldn’t be sure whether police would act on that provision or if Montana residents would challenge it.

“I don’t have a crystal ball,” Moore said.

Honey, honey, honey, don’t fret about the crystal ball.  Fret about not having a lick of sense.

First off, you know Montana is way too white when only beige clothing is indecent.  Second off, I would think the police in Montana might have something better to do than drive around and arrest women on their way to yoga class.

Lastly, and most importantly, when Republicans talk about smaller government and getting government out of our lives, you know they’re just jacking with you, right?

Thanks to Ralph for the heads up.
