I suspect you guys know about Congressman Blake Farenthold from Texas.  He’s on Bill Maher’s Flip a District Final Four.  He’s pathetically grotesque.  And that’s his good side.

He got elected accidentally and then got Republican redistricted to keep him elected.

You might remember his great Ducky Pajamas picture.

Yeah, that’s Congressman Blake Farenthold on the far right.  The far, far right.

His highly qualified Democratic opponent Lt. Col. Wesley Reed (and ladies, he’s mighty easy on the eyes) has earned his uniform the hard way – through serving his damn country.  He’s a Marine pilot and is now serving in the reserves. He’s a pilot for Fed Ex and he’s head of the airline pilots association.  He’s the real deal.

And Blake Farenthold is not.

Here is Blake in his latest Adventures in Pretending.

Yeah, the chubby pastey white dude posing with UPS, all dressed up like he’s been able to bend over and pick anything up in the past twenty years.  If this guy comes to your door, do not one it.  He’s only pretending to work for a living.

Those who have an extra three dollars can prance on over and give Wesley Reed some love.  I give him a monthly donation and it’s because I believe in him, not just that he’s easy on the eyes, although that certainly doesn’t hurt.
