Touch Your Buddy Gene and Other Republican Remarks
The Texas Legislature has gotten so damn contentious that Republicans are screaming at each other because Democrats don’t give a big bear’s butt if they’re screamed at.
It’s getting fun.
Pat Fallon, Screamer
We’ve got hearings on safe, legal abortions and redistricting going on.
Two North Texas freshman Republicans got so upset with each other in the redistricting caucus that they continued screaming like little girls in the hallway.
The argument appeared to be about proposed changes to House districts. The chamber is debating redistricting bills Thursday.
“You’re a liar,” state Rep. Pat Fallon of Frisco yelled at his colleague, state Rep. Bennett Ratliff of Coppell.
Other House Republicans tried to hush Fallon, but his fury wouldn’t ebb.
Bennett Ratliff, Touching His Buddy Gene
“Touch your buddy Gene because you’re in the same party as him,” a red-faced Fallon loudly continued, as Ratliff walked away and placed a hand on state Rep. Gene Wu, D-Houston, as he passed by.
I know and like Gene Wu, but I imagine he’s fixin’ to become the most touchable guy in Texas. Every Democrat in the State will want their picture taken touching their buddy Gene Wu. In fact, I’m gonna call Gene and tell him that I have a dollar cash money to get my picture with him, touching him.
Hell, I could make a fortune selling “Touch Me. I’m Gene Wu’s Buddy” tee-shirts to Democrats.
We need to make some “Touch Me. I am Gene Wu’s Buddy” buttons. If anyone has some art work, I can make some buttons
1Screaming like little girls … LOL I love it!! Sounds like they are getting their knickers all in a bunch!!
2I am in the HB 60 committee hearing. I wish Rep Jessica Farrar was my rep. She is AWESOME.
She had to apologize to the chair earlier. In rebutting a pro-bill advocate, she referred to the Woman’s Right to Know pamplet as “state-supported propaganda.”
The pro-bill legislators aren’t asking any questions, but the ones against it are asking plenty. Their questions are good ones, too. As Juanita said, it’s an interesting show.
3Now, Juanita Jean, you have to stop this right now! It’s not fair to little girls anywhere.
Couldn’t they be screaming like alley cats? Isn’t that a much more satisfying picture?
4Oh to be around the Texas State Capitol these days, where you can hear the screeching sound of Republican house members’ testicles shrinking …
5Just think of the hissing and spitting and baring of claws.
6SusanF, why would Farrar have to apologize? Did she say something that was incorrect?
