And Speaking of Having Your Brain Eaten
There must be an outbreak of zombies.
Rick Miller and, yes, all the Republicans here own the same cheap shirt
First, we have a guy right here in Fort Bend County who is running for the State House by the name of Rick Miller. He’s a thug. Seriously, he’s a dead solid thug who stood by and watched while a 70 year old woman get beat up. Anyway, he got endorsed by Phyllis Schlafly, which tells you how low his opinion of women is.
He announced that he was also being endorsed by Tom DeLay. Now you would think that the endorsement of a convicted felon would not be something to crow about, unless, of course, you’re delusional. Rick Miller is delusional.
And then there’s Mitt Romney. He’s going to London for the Olympics and do a little fundraising while there. With bankers. Because he doesn’t have enough problems being linked to rich, out of touch bankers, ya know.
The events involve a reception – at a cost of $2,500 per person – and a high-dollar “private dinner with Governor Mitt Romney” that will cost from $25,000 to $75,000 per person. Both events will be held at a location in “central London” that has not yet been named.
Though former Barclays CEO Bob Diamond, who recently resigned over the rate-fixing scandal, is no longer among the hosts, a registered lobbyist from Barclays, Patrick Durkin, is still one of the hosts.
Yeah, it’s just such a mess when your host is headed to freekin’ prison for ripping off people. Makes for awkward introductions.
Does anybody remember when President Obama gave a speech in Germany after he was elected and the rightwing started yelling Globalization! with the music from Jaws in the background?
Well, the cat’s got their tongue now.
Personally, I think Mitt is selling the original 13 colonies back to England. They vote way too Democratic.
Thanks to Carl for the heads-up.
Raising money from furriners? Isn’t that illegal? Didn’t the Republicans go ballistic on Al Gore for that?
1Isn’t foreign money to campaigns illegal? Remember the Buddhist temple?
2Mary, Mary, Mary. Corinne, Corinne, Corinne. Haven’t you realized yet that IOKIYAR? Puleeze.
3I am prone to hallucinate, but didn’t the media get all over a Mexican Presidential candidate an election or two or three ago for coming up to San Antone and to LA raising some money amongst the illegals? And didn’t that same media have a negative thing or three to say about how Mexicans could vote in Mexican elections here in the USofA? And what a bad thing that was, all around? Not to mention the absolute whupping candidate Gore took for his part in fund raising with non-Americans? (Pardon me Momma.) Where the hell is the outrage today about Willard’s trip across the pond to hobnob with Brits?
4I guess that our Walter Mitty character is only going to solicit donations from expatriated Americans living in London. That makes it OK even if you ain’t a Rethugnicant.
5I bet the Mittster will never receive an invitation to hang out at Buckingham Palace like the Obamas did. The Queen likes our President.
6Must be all those American derivative marketeers who moved to England to ruin their financial institutions, too.
