Texas’ answer to Jabba the Hut, Congresspuggy Blake Farenthold, has a new Obama scandal.

Bless his heart, he can’t even let the old one get cold before he breaks out the new one.  But, this one is tremblingly ironic.  It involves numbers, something Farenthold is no damn good at.

When Farenthold got elected, the GOP leadership recognized an unEinstein when they saw it so they put him on the important, prestigious, and powerful Census committee. That means he only has to think once every ten years and even that causes brainstrain in Blake.

Blake has decided that the Census Bureau fudged the unemployment numbers before the 2012 election. He says that a New York Post article making the allegation is “extremely serious.”  That, campers, is the first time the words New York Post and serious have been used in the same sentence.   And coming out of the mouth of Blake Farenthold makes it the trifecta of ridiculous.

Okay, let’s pretend that the unemployment numbers were fudged.  Would take have taken away Mitt Romney’s total cluelessness?  Nope.  Would that have made people want Paul Ryan’s finger on the nuclear launch code?  Uh huh.

Two things are true:  The 2012 election was a damn landslide and Barack Obama is still black.  Blake needs to roll his butt to a quiet comfortable place of get the hell over it.

Thanks to Peter for the heads up.
