Oh Lordy, Y’all, She Wants to Fight
I think y’all probably remember Elaine Palmer. The woman running for judge who put the stock photo of an Asian couple in her email blast and claimed they were supporters? She even gave them names – The Nguyens. Bless her heart, she lied so bad that now she has to get someone else to call the dogs because even they don’t believe her.
And you know how sweet I was to go out and get her some more supporters? I’m a sweet woman.
Veteran Pedro Hernandez is now a proud supporter of Elaine Palmer.
Well, here’s the thanks I get: she says I’m a stinkin’ racist, and she wants to fight me.
Dude, I’m a hairdresser. I know how to hurt you. This ain’t smart.
Ms. Palmer, who fancies herself the Rosa Parks of all elections ever held, sent out another email blast about the column I wrote. While she was too poopie-del-pollo to call me by name (I suspect she might have heard that there are 4 1/2 lawyers in my immediate familial vicinity), she did quote me extensively and even used my funniest line in the subject part of her email. I don’t know this for a fact, but I suspect that she’s had a humorectomy.
Subject: A Quart or Two Low on Estrogen – Elect Elaine Palmer Judge 215th District Court
Now, I am totally clueless as to why she’d want people to know that she’s a quart or two low on estrogen, but – hey – I’m not running for judge so I’m not real familiar with the qualifications. It could be that’s a plus in judicial circles.
So she decided that I must hate Barack Obama and freely use the N word because I said she was a nincompoop for fibbing on her campaign material. Here’s the actual screenshot of her actual email in actual living color. Click the little one to get the big one.
Seriously, Honey?
The actual quote was —
And the next time she wants to get involved in a grudge match and be a pawn for a idiot lawyer, have her call me first and I’ll get her some estrogen because apparently she’s a quart or two low.
She left out some parts there.
But, there’s more. Oh yes, she ain’t finished.
The whole quote is, “The best the writ twit could do is a woman named Elaine Palmer and she’s a no-class nincompoop.” Yep. I stand by that, on top of it, under it, and will lift it on top of my head if need be. She’s a no-class nincompoop.
Now, I have no need to defend myself, but I would like to taunt Ms. Palmer just a tad: I have given very generous donations to three African American female judicial candidates this election season alone, and many more in past elections. None of those three would include nincompoops who lie on their campaign materials, misquote me, and then are too chicken to call me a racist in public. In short, none of them are you, Ms. “You-Mean-I’m-Not-The-Only-Female-African-American-Running-For-Judge-In-Texas?” Palmer.
Now, I’d like to do a little more math here: There are 11 or 14 people who come to this website every damn day. You can bet your bottom dollar that Carl Whitmarsh, who is the owner of the largest Democratic listserve in the entire state of Texas will reprint this. He’s got about 25,000 people on his listserver, probably more with election time approaching. I’d be willing to bet my best pair of pink boots that between Carl and me, we reach more people than Ms. Palmer does with her email blasts. And our people will know the truth: she’s a nincompoop.
And just one little word of advice to Ms. Palmer: don’t go bear hunting with a stick.
I still think I am a sweet woman.
Wait…is she implying that the Buck Ofama pic is something you posted?! I wonder how long it took her to find that image in the internet. In fact, I’m wondering what kind of attorney she is, what with all the lies she’s put out based off your original post and her original flyer. I think someone forgot to tell her to register as a teabagger.
1Was it a flyer or was it her website that had the fake supporters.? Sorry, can’t remember which now.
2Yes, Harold, I am a highly trained professional at this. I’m not a major fan of Jim Sharp either. One time, after I wrote something about him, he called me to cuss me out. While I was on vacation. I thought I was talking to a drunk sailor. And Harold, Honey, your name did come up within three words of some powerful cussin’. Just wanted you to know. Well done.
3I just feel so sorry for her. That poor conflicted woman. To have the label of Democrat, perhaps even the intent of a Democrat, but the soul of a Republican.
Actually to be fair, I don’t like those labels. But I do feel sorry for this would-be leader meant to represent integrity and fairness, when she has such a “waaah, they shouldn’t pick on me” chip on her shoulder. Like Ralph shared, people best respect people who manage to grow out of the oh-poor-pitiful-me state. She seems stuck there. And as a judge, I find that appalling. Yes I know that judges are people too with the psychological foibles that entails, but dammit, they should work hard to model the best not the worst of human nature! If you appoint yourself for a leadership role–like any politician–you should model the best qualities. Ralph, I loved the story about your father!
And JJ, keep swingin’ your curlers and pithy remarks. We so need them, especially now!
4“I just feel so sorry for her. That poor conflicted woman. To have the label of Democrat, perhaps even the intent of a Democrat, but the soul of a Republican.”
Amen to that.
It is sometimes so……… difficult ….. to get Democrats to run for office. in Harris County, and in Texas…….. Don’t know why…. I suspect it may be….. because they don’t see much in the way of support from “County” “City”…State……. “Local” Party ……
And…. to have an extremely qualified nominee on the Democratic ballot face a Primary Challenge …….is totally uncalled for. To face the expense, is stupid. To give the Repubs any ammunition against an opponent…. is even more politically stupid.
“Nincompoop”……. may be an understatement.
5You ARE a sweet woman.
With a razor blade.
Tommy
6@ralphwiggam Your daddy sounds like a true statesman. Wish we had more like him around today. What a concept – using facts & his own record to attract voters rather than blow someone else’s candle out in order to make his shine brighter. Classy guy. Thanks for tell us about him.
7Juanita,
That column was absolutely PERFECTAMUNDO~and you are the “sweetest” of them all. ROFLMFAO
8To imply Juanita Jean is a racist is absurd. Missie Palmer might check with Harris County Black Democrat Godmother, Doris Hubbard, or Craig Washington, or Senfronia Thompson, or Congressman Al Green, or any number of black Democratic candidates. To suggest Juanita opposes President Obama is also absurd. Maybe she ought to read this blog before she shoots off her mouth. In 08 Juanita worked 24-7 for Barack, and, by the way, functioning on 25% lung capacity. She raised over $85,000 dollars for the Democratic campaign in Fort Bend. She and her family contributed the maximum to Barack in 08 and is well on the way in 2012. I wonder what Palmer and her GOP benefactors did for the President?
9Oh Lord, Ya’ll, she’s pissed off Bubba, Attorney at Law. Bubba comments here maybe once or twice a year. It takes a lot to get Bubba rolling, but once he’s in motion, you best get out of the way. And if you pick on one of his family members, you might as well go ahead and select whatever it is you want to wear to your butt-kicking.
By the way, Bubba is like me – he can almost type.
10I cannot help but wonder if Ms. Palmer’s campaign has any connection with this: http://www.hrc.org/nomexposed/entry/must-read#.T6sTW59YvwX
11Juanita Jean, you are sweet and all those other good things everyone said about you. But you’re also meaner than a snake, and I love you for it. Continue to give’em hell, or as Harry Truman said, give them the truth and to the Republicans it will seem like hell.
