Leave it to Sid
Leave it to Sid Miller, Texas Agriculture Commissioner, who is a rodeo clown by profession – seriously, to outwit Donald Trump in a headline contest right now.
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller in late 2016 appointed to the state’s Rural Health Task Force a former physician and Miller campaign donor who had his medical license revoked or suspended in three states.
But that’s not all.
In Iowa, Rick Ray Redalen’s medical license was first suspended when he was convicted of perjury in a case involving his marriage to his 15-year-old former stepdaughter.
And there’s more …
As a doctor, Redalen worked in emergency rooms and as a primary care doctor and has had his license suspended or revoked in Minnesota, Iowa and Louisiana.
The disciplinary action against Redalen by Minnesota’s medical board was due to “psychiatric and drug problems,” according to a 1995 Des Moines Register article.
Other than that, Redalen comes with the best credentials to serve on boards in Texas – he knows somebody. Todd Smith is a long time friend and political consultant to Miller. Smith also happens to be making hundreds of thousands of dollars from Redalen’s company. Redalen’s company make tele-medicine machines.
And, of course, Redalen is using his position on Miller’s board to push for tele-medicine in rural Texas.
But, Redalen says he won’t make money on the deal and we should believe him because he promises not to commit perjury again.
Redalen also made large financial contributions to Sid Miller’s campaign. And he loaned Miller his motor home.
In July of 2017, Miller reported an $80,000 in-kind contribution from Redalen for “Use of Prevost Motor Home Bus.” During the 2016 presidential race, Redalen said he campaigned for Donald Trump by touring in his bus, which features an image of Redalen’s face along with messages opposing the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare.
Sid Miller, the circus clown.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
I believe there are some bacteria that curl up and die when exposed to bright light. That’s what needs to happen to this jackwagon. Lots and lots of publicity on his every disgusting fact on the list above. I’m looking for a good-sized mob with torches and pitchforks here. And I want somebody to ask that former stepdaughter if she is really and truly okay.
1Wow!
A pedophile, a perjurer, *and* a motor home owner!
2Sooooo, Ricky Ray has performed the hat trick of perversity, not to mention losing his medical license in 3 states.
3With drug and psychiatric problems, he seems well-qualified to support the rethug agenda: self-enrichment (Dems think thievery)
Rodeo clown? Sid would argue that is a good thing. Clowns make people laugh, so what is so bad about that? As for Ricky Ray, his common performance in a federal penal institution is frankly still awaiting him no matter what he thinks. Karma knows where he lives.
4Dear Miss Juanita,
“marriage to his 15-year-old former stepdaughter”? I just threw up a little bit.
5what do you have to do, to get your medical license suspended/revoked in LA, a state that classifies Voodoo as a legitimate medical profession?
6Republicans — just one big rodeo of rotten and ridiculous.
7So is Miller up for re-election this year?
8ARRGGGHHHH ! Just whe I had hope the rethug could sink no lower.
