Yes, Liz, we understand that you love your dad.  We get that.  Hell, even Luke Skywalker came to terms with his dad but his dad turned from the Dark Side.  Your dad has not.

Liz, knowing what we do know now, are you going to reject your mammoth inheritance based on Halliburton blood money?

And, Sweetie, attacking Obama worked real well in 2012, didn’t it?  So keep that up, would ya?

I think Louie Gohmert is looking for a new press secretary.  Liz, you ought to apply.

Thanks to Bubba for the heads up.

Nobody believes that Louie Gohmert really honest to God said this.

“If President Bush had known that he would have a total incompetent follow him that would not even be able to negotiate a status of forces agreement with Iraq and start helping our enemies and just totally put the Middle East in chaos, then he would have to think twice about doing anything if he had known he would have such a total incompetent leader take over after him,” Gohmert said. “That should be the question.”

So Bush wouldn’t have gone into Iraq if he’d known that Obama was going to get elected and screw it up.

This is not satire.

All you folks who said that W. Bush was the dumbest man on earth have some crow-eating to do.

Oh dear Lord in a Florida swamp – Andrew Card just killed Jeb Bush’s chance of being president.

Talking about Dubya’s Iraq war and Jeb’s answer to it, Card explained intellect.

“Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough asked Card why it took Jeb Bush four days to articulate his position.

“It did. It shouldn’t have taken them that long,” Card responded. “I don’t think it would have taken his brother that long to clear it up.”

So what he’s saying here is that Dubya is quicker and smarter than Jeb.  Honey, that’s dog dump dumb.

Seriously.

Let’s all hear it for Lt. Governor Dan Patrick.  He wants to eliminate In-State tuition for Texas colleges and universities, making higher education out of the reach of 97% of Texans.

It started as an effort to deny in-state tuition to Dreamers – kids brought to this country through no fault of their own, have played by the rules and gained competitive entry into state institutions.  But, what they hell, Dan Patrick has decided to extend it to everydamnbody by moving it to the Senate calendar.

Moments ago, SB 1819, the legislation that would repeal in-state tuition for Texans regardless of status, was added to the Senate Intent Calendar. That means that the bill could come up for a vote before the full Senate as early as tomorrow.

And people say that elections don’t matter.

Thanks to Jane for the heads up.

Okay, so come to find out, Bill O’Reilly is being accused of assault against his newly-ex wife.

O’Reilly says it’s not true but …

I am going to respect the court-mandated confidentiality put in place to protect my children and will not comment any further,” he said.

Kinda reminds me of his 2004 sexual harassment lawsuit settled out of court because he can’t discuss that one either.

Okay, so it’s horrible of me to assume that a hot-tempered, misogynistic, controlling man like O’Reilly is the kind of person who would do that but I’ve come to … quack, quack, quack.  Look!  A duck!

Their 2011 divorce, leading to a custody dispute that wrapped up three weeks ago, resulted in McPhilmy winning custody of their two minor children.

Yeah, well, and that.  I’d say that’s good news but I doubt any woman who would marry O’Reilly has any business raising children.

This is an actual sign in actual Kentucky on an actual backroad.

I’m gonna get baptized and apply to be a deacon.

Thanks to Richard for the heads up.
