Okay, Is It Just Me?
I’ve told you about my perfectly goofy State Senator Glenn Hegar. He’s running for Texas Comptroller and what that has to do with abortion and guns is way beyond my simple understanding of what a comptroller does.
The primary duty of the comptroller’s office is to collect substantially all tax revenue owed to the State of Texas.
So, they are the tax collectors. They don’t set the tax rate, drive the train, or blow the whistle. They just collect the taxes.
I guess having a gun might help but I don’t suspect they’d let you use it much at work.
So Glen has a new commercial. I want you to pay particular attention to the shot of his desk at about :35 second into this commercial and tell me whether it’s just me or should Glenn clean up his desk before someone calls Hoarders to come do it for him?
I dunno, I’m afraid he’d lose all our money in that rat’s nest. I kinda suspect that’s why they kinda slide over it real fast.
Call the ServePro People, or somebody.
This is a job that collects and distributes sales tax?
Oh Lord!
1He’s creepy.
2Wonder who Hegar’s dog is doing? He-Hegar-looks like Rick Sanitorium’s brother. He’s got a wife and kids and that qualifies him as Comptroller-how?
3“That’s what makes Texas the envy of the Nation.” More like the laughingstock.
4His mouth doesn’t match his face.
5Couple of thoughts here.
1. Yeah, he just collects sales tax and writes state checks. He doesn’t make policy or set rates.
2. He wants to reform spending. How? Stop writing state checks? State employees will love that!
3. He wants to reduce debt? Again, how? He can’t reduce those sideburns! How is he going to reduce debt?
4. He wants to limit government. Sounds like a whole lot of folks will get a pink slip if he’s elected.
Glenn Hegar is a putz!
6His desk is messier than mine in any of my former lives…and I love how his son sticks his tongue out during the fam shot. All of this qualifies him to be Comptroller, doesn’t it?
7@Michele, you’re correct. The top half of his face does not change any or show any emotion, but the mouth moves. He has dead eyes to go with a dead brain.
He represents the things I hate most about Texas.
8OMG, he is creepy. Ick. My condolences that he’s your state senator. Do Not Want Him As TX Comptroller. At All.
9I have to admit that my desk looks as bad. Not my house – just my desk. However, I am smarter, kinder and more qualified.
10OMG I watched that and could not fathom why I felt so icky. Then it dawned on me. He looks and sounds like an ex Senator from my state, Rick Santorum. Now I have to go take a Lysol shower. eeewwwwweee
11This idjit is running for an office he doesn’t even know how to pronounce? As most intelligent people know, comptroller looks as if it would be pronounced komp-troll-er, but the correct pronunciation is actually con-troll-er. And that slimy grin of his would cause me to vote for anyone else who was running.
12his sideburns are a few years past their expiration date.
13At last! Someone with a messier desk than mine.
14Eeuwww, he’s just squishy.
15Now, now! My mamma taught me never to make fun of someone else’s looks. I think she knew a few more things about genetics than I ever did! Frankly, its those dead shark eyes that make me go eeewwwww! As for his desk, here’s how it goes: really important people (or at least they think they are important) have messy desks because they are the savior of the world which is why everyone sends stuff to them to be resolved in such quantity that it is useless to organize it and clean it up such as pitch it in the circular file. There is an even chance that the messy desk was deliberately created as a prop to prove how important he (thinks) he is. If the desk was cleaned up and the stuff put in file folders and the folders stuck in some kind of organizer, it would simply look like an ad for an office products store. Lord knows he wouldn’t want that to happen!
16Mary–
I was thinking the same thing about his pronunciation until I saw that shot of him with guv goodhair, and then I realized that he probably doesn’t have a clue, anyway, so pronunciation probably doesn’t matter. Besides, I just heard someone on CNN tell Anderson Cooper the Carnival Cruz will be welcomed back to Texas by cheering crowds, and those idjits don’t know how to pronounce it, either.
17Today I saw an AP story about the Comptroller’s race that said that Hegar was running for the office on the basis of “his record in the Senate on gun rights and stricter regulation of abortions.” Ye gods, the yokel doesn’t even know what the Comptroller does, much less how to pronounce it! Maybe he should be running for President, along with Teddie and Slick Rick. Heaven knows, he is as qualified as they are.
