Okay, time for our Goofy Republican Politicians in Texas event, which truly should be daily.
You’ve met Sid Miller, our agriculture commissioner with barely double digit IQ points. Sid’s the guy who charged the taxpayers for him to go to rodeos outside of Texas for him to compete. He hired every friend he ever had to fill state jobs they were shockingly under qualified for. He even paid to take his butt to Oklahoma and get something he calls a “Jesus shot” with taxpayer money.
He also says it’s okay to put untruths on his Twitter page because it’s his opinion and he’s entitled to his opinion. Yes, he said that. He said that he’s entitled to his wrong opinion.
He says he loves Jesus. Which makes Jesus cry.
Well, he’s done it again.
Here’s the post he inappropriately responded to.
First, Confederate soldiers are not veterans. They are treasonous losers. The only flag they should have represent them is a white one. They quit. They surrendered. They were not fighting on America’s side. Yeah, I do have strong feelings about this.
So here’s Ole Sid’s response.
After catching hell over it because confederates were particularly fond of lynchings, Ole Sid told us, “Good grief people, it’s a joke,” and saying it was a reference to a Pace salsa commercial.
About 25 years ago Pace salsa had a commercial on teevee. It had some old cowboys sitting around a campfire eating. One of them commented on how good Pace salsa is because it’s made in Texas. Other brands were made in New York City. “New York City?” the cowboy asks. “Get a rope.”
Anybody 25 – 30 years old isn’t going to get the reference. Nor will anybody who didn’t live in Texas 25 years ago. Which kinda means pretty much everybody.
Thanks to Steve for the heads up.
