Those Bushes can really pick ‘um.

Jeb! has decided that Governor Rick Snyder is practically an American hero.

“I admire Rick Snyder for stepping up right now,” Bush said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “He’s going to the challenge. He’s fired people and accepted responsibility to fix this.”

Bush’s praise comes as some are demanding Snyder’s resignation over the preventable disaster in Flint, where as many as 100,000 people have been drinking and bathing in brown, lead-contaminated water that the government previously told them was safe.

When everybody within jaw dropping distance wondered why Jeb! would say something so full of caca del toro, Jeb! stuck to his guns.

Bush held firm and said he’s impressed with the way the Republican governor is owning the issue.

Yeah, because he poisoned people. On purpose. He owns it because his name is all over it. In damn neon. Blinking.

And you know who else Jeb! admires? His brother. He broke America and now he accepts responsibility for … diddle damn squat.

Thanks to Sharon for the heads up.

I have been a Tom DeLay UnFan Girl for a very long time.  Too long.  And the one thing I’ve learned is that if you need to know Tom’s shortcomings, watch him point them out … in other people.

This week, Tom DeLay wrote an editorial – well, he paid someone to write it – calling Donald Trump a “Clumsy Christian.”

Now, if you set to reading this thing, and I suggest you only do so if it’s a choice between reading it and re-roofing your own house, you’ll see something miraculous. DeLay says Trump is a “novice Christian” and that Timothy warned against novice Christians as church leaders,”lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.”

Puffed up? I think DeLay just made an unscheduled flight through the looking glass.

DeLay also objects to Trump’s accent.

When it comes to speaking the language of evangelical Christianity, Trump is like a first-semester foreign language student who tries to sound like he’s spoken the new lingo all his life. Native speakers understand right away that such a person is a beginner and try not to laugh in his face.

Trump would do well to learn from Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina and other candidates who speak evangelical Christianity with fluent ease because they really do have God deep in their lives, not just as a political facade.

So learning the language is enough? I kinda get the idea that you want him to learn only enough to form a religious justification for hateful behavior, you know, like Ted, and Marco, and Ben and Carly do.

Tom DeLay may not be a novice to Christianity but he’s certainly a novice to acting like a Christian.

First up, we have a guy who went to see the Benghazi movie.  Drunk.

I have been told that’s the only way you can watch the Benghazi movie.  It’s probably the law.

So here’s this guy drunk at the movies.  Wait, did I mention that he had a gun?  Because, you know, it was the Benghazi movie.

“We have witnesses that say he came into the theater and appeared intoxicated. He went in and took a seat in theater number nine and was fumbling with a pistol when it went off and struck someone sitting in front of him,” said David Leibman with the Renton Police Department.

Yep, he shot a 40 year old woman in the chest.  She is expected to live.

After shooting the woman, he headed to the exit door and got the hell out Dodge.

I’m pretty damn sure that Sarah Palin is going to blame this on Hillary Clinton.

And then in Sulphur Springs, Texas, where my own damn cousin lives, they have taken protecting God’s word pretty seriously.

Sulphur Springs police say a man accidentally shot himself in the foot Wednesday evening at a church.

Police said at about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, officers responded to a shooting at the Davis Street Baptist Church in Sulphur Springs. Officers discovered a person, who was not identified, had accidentally discharged his pistol and shot himself in the foot.

The victim sustained a minor wound, and no one else was hurt.Police said the shooting happened in the church’s family life center.

Uh, maybe the family life center needs to rename itself.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz announced yesterday that he didn’t have health insurance because of Obamacare.

A day after, his campaign admitted that Cruz did indeed have health insurance.  He as just shifted from a PPO to an HMO.  An HMO is, in fact, insurance.

He just got confused.  Because, you know, stuff is confusing.

Obama invented confusion.

I know that Kansas is kinda cold in the winter but apparently not cold enough.

A Kansas Republican State Senator pitched himself a hissy fit about women “wearing skimpy skirts or blouses with plunging necklines” when they come testify before his committee.

Senator Mitch Holmes opines …

He offered more detailed guidance to women conferees because he had observed provocatively clad females at the Capitol. Revealing too much of the body during testimony to the Senate committee is a distraction, he said.

Holmes said he considered stipulating men had to wear suit and tie when addressing his Senate committee, but decided males didn’t need supplemental instruction on how to look professional.

Holmes, who is also known as Old Coot With Goggly Eyes, did not meet with much approval from the female legislators on either side of the aisle.

“Oh, for crying out loud, what century is this?” said Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat.

“Who’s going to define low-cut?” said Sen. Vicki Schmidt, R-Topeka. “Does it apply to senators?”

How many women are going to say to Mitch, “You ain’t the boss of me,” before he gets it?  And by “gets it” I mean shut the hell up.

Thanks to Claudia for the heads up.
