Lamar Smith and Nike
Texas Republican corporate puppet Lamar Smith got a testy letter from the Federal Election Commission about something missing from his legally required filings with the FEC.
I guess he thought it was okay to take free tennis shoes because he was running for office. (See what I did there?)
Lamar got famous for saying that the greatest threat to American is not another terrorist attack. The greatest threat to America is the liberal media bias. Yeah, really. Certainly not tennis shoes made in China.
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
He can run, but he can’t hide. Especially wearing those fancy shoes.
1Say what? When the Five Fascists gave them the Citizens United decision wasn’t it understood that there are no election laws, or IOKIYAR.
2Seen too much of this guy in D.C. Old Lamar ain’t nobody’s friend, including anything that speaks with forked tongues! And I hope them Nike’s give him blisters!
3‘One or more’ contributions…does that mean he gave them to his staff, so they could run for him, and is family, so they could run with him? Are we talking one pair of Nike shoes, or a crate of ’em?
Inquiring minds want to know.
4If the shoes fit, Mr. Smith, better tell your buddies at Nike
5to ‘fess up.
He lives in Maine, not San Antonio.
6Now now, it just says “in kind”. Maybe they gave him a crate of shoe boxes to file stuff in. Maine doesn’t have the same big open spaces that Texas does so they prolly have to stack boxes of stuff up real high.
7I just started a teensy business and I had no idea what a pain it would be. Fortunately I’m married to the financial officer. Will I get in trouble for letting my husband do the bookkeeping?
8Corinne Sabo, are you saying that Lamar doesn’t maintain even a couch in TX-21?
9Smith looks like another bush with Sam Donaldson’s hair piece.
10Lamar has an office in Austin, Texas and likely it has a couch in it. Where does he say he lives in Texas? Lots of them super duper rich guys have a half dozen houses. Hmm. You s’pose they could run for office in all those states?
11Has anyone else noticed how many Republican men appear — how do I put this — somewhat deformed? Malformed? No upper lips, no discernible eyes … it’s almost as if the reptilian stuff theorized by the like of David Ickes is true. Reptilian scum wearing human skin suits.
