Y’all have heard me talking about Rick Miller before.  He’s a thug.  He likes to watch while old ladies get beat up.  Total thug.  I carry around 11 foot poles with me because I wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot one and that’s one of the nicest things I say about him.  He was chairman of the local Republican Party until recently when he resigned to run for Tom DeLay’s old seat in the State Lege.

I’ve heard he’s campaigning with the slogan “Rick Miller:  Tom DeLay With Fewer Ethics and More Bible Thumping!”

When I see Rick in public, I duck and cover and holler as loud as I can, “Don’t hit me!  Please don’t hit me.”  It drives him nutty, so when he sees me coming, he makes himself real temporary wherever he is.

Well, I decided to follow him on Twitter because I thought it would be dandy fun to watch this old mean man try to be young and hip.

That, my friends, was a safe bet.

Yesterday, I got a “private tweet” from Rick Miller.

(You can click the little one to get the big one.)

Okay, see, I knew right off the bat that this was not legitimate.  Mainly because if nasty things were being said about me, Rick Miller would be the one saying them.  And he ain’t near brave enough to say them to my face.  And Lord knows he wouldn’t be surprised.

His Twitter account was hacked.  Kinda fitting because he’s certainly a hack.

I’m not saying that one of his fellow Republicans with a knife in their back did it, but …. oh hell, who am I kidding?  That’s exactly what I’m saying.

Local Republicans:  more fun than the Friday night fights!
