And Another Texas Congressman
Most of you are familiar with Dan Crenshaw, the Texas congressvarnint with the eye patch.
I’m gonna be honest with you and tell you that the eyepatch is all this kid has going for him. He ain’t real bright and he’s not a pleasant person to talk to. And now, bless his heart, he’s decided to pit himself up against the biggest Fourth of July yearly party in Texas – the Willie Nelson 4th of July Picnic.

Dan has decided to have a Summer of 1776 festival every year on the Fourth.
His spent at least $144,000 on its “first annual Summer of 1776” fundraiser. It was held at the Lago Mar Crystal Clear Lagoon in La Marque, Texas, on July 4, with entertainment including a country singer and a drone light show. Proceeds benefited the reelection campaign of the two-term congressman.
The campaign’s disbursements in the second quarter included $84,000 to Lagoon Funatics and Beach 4 Lagoon; $53,000 to Drone Light Show Company; and $7,000 to Tim Montana and the Shrednecks.
His Instagram account shows that the celebration was actually a white boys’ frat kegger.
Dan, I’m not being picky here but you could have done done away with Tim Montana and fed some boys over at the VFW for July 4th. I guess you didn’t think of that.
I remember way back when conservatives would denounce
1Ms. What’s-Her-Name’s attire as desecration of The Flag. Now, it’s more likely to be featured in the church newsletter.
Mutten face gaetz is probably jealous.
2I have two questions (forgive me; I’m from out of town):
!. How many of those attendees are registered to vote?; and
2 How many of those lovelies have ever voted or intend to vote in Crenshaw’s district?
OK. That’s three questions. Sosueme.
3Surprised by the venue name …
couldn’t he prevail on the local poobahs and shift Lago Mar Crystal Clear Lagoon in La Marque, Texas, to Mar a Lago ??
And do you suppose he actually looked up the meaning? La Marque (or Lemarque) is a “metonymic nickname for someone with a noticeable birthmark or scar, or for someone who had been disfigured by branding (a relatively common medieval punishment), from Old French marque ‘mark’ (a transferred use of 1).”
4Soooo, ummmm, was Tara (aka Mrs. Crenshaw) at this shindig? Asking for a friend….
Tara’s quite attractive. Why not pose with her? At least it could be used in campaign materials.
5Barb in DC, you asked those questions for me. They don’t really look like the sort of people to stand in long, hot voting lines. Partying though, that’s a different story.
6Looks like a COVID superspreader event . . .
7I’m gonna e-mail his wife and ask her exactly where she thinks his left hand is in this picture.
8what happened to the duck pajamas??
