Valerie Plame is running for Congress. Yes, THAT Valerie Plame. And she’s a badass.

Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
I thought this was an actual preview… then I realized it probably is.
I too have Coming Attractions but in movie theaters only.

Sounds sneakily like the film – The Magic Christian.

1Wow. That’s the way to kick off a campaign.
2A woman who can hit it in reverse like that is just what we need, to take on a guy who goes backwards on policy decisions every other day.
I bet she could tear up a parking lot and not hit a thing. Can probably tweet out a message with every letter tapped correctly too.
3Karma is Valerie Plame coming for Trump and the Republican
4traitors. Go girl!
Yes, but where?!! What useless Repub is she planning to kick out of office on his (her?) a$$? Inquiring minds want to know.
5She is running for the seat vacated by Ben Lujan (also a D), who’s running for Senate. Ad reminds me of Kim Olson’s ad a little. I am all for these bad-azz women going in and helping Katie Porter kick butt.
6Get ‘em, Valerie.
7Justice-obstructing Scooter Libby now has a nice job at a DC think tank. Let’s not forget that W commented his sentence before trump pardoned him.
Is this the best spot for her? Would NM be better off with her in the Senate – and would we? This video is totally kick-azz and I love it! I’ll be following this race for sure.
8That just gave me chills! Revenge is sweet, Valerie!
9Any bets on the elapsed time between her being sworn in and Liz Cheney whining that Valerie threatened her?
10Umm, did anyone else read the she retweeted anti-Semitic tropes?

11Hell Yes!
Time to kick Republikan ass clear across the country.
The video reminds me of former USAF Major MJ Hegar’s campaign clips with her UH-60 Blackhawk ‘Dustoff’ helo.
MJ Hegar is now running against Repuke John Cornyn for TX US Senator in 2020.
Plame’s Chevy musclecar is cool, but an EV Tesla Model S P100D Performance would have been even more badassed, imo, and very quiet too [762hp-electric, 0–60 mph in 2.275sec, topspd 163mph].

And why not Gina Ortiz Jones for Texas’ 23rd US House District [‘retiring’ Will Hurd] too:

Old Fart @10,
You doing the old ‘crabs in a bucket’ thing?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_mentality
“… is a way of thinking best described by the phrase “if I can’t have it, neither can you”.[1] The metaphor is derived from a pattern of behavior noted in crabs when they are trapped in a bucket. While any one crab could easily escape,[2] its efforts will be undermined by others, ensuring the group’s collective demise.[3][4][5]”
Way to play right into the Rethug and Talibangelical-Dominionist traps. A Rethuglican US Rep in that NM District would be better?
Personally, I’ve been fed up with I-P Middle East religio-political conflicts impinging on our US politics and sovereignty for almost 50 years. If it were up to me I’d nuke ’em all.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerie_Plame
“Plame’s paternal grandfather was Jewish, the son of a rabbi who emigrated from Ukraine; the original family surname was “Plamevotski”.[9] The rest of Plame’s family was Protestant (the religion in which Plame was raised); she was unaware, until she was an adult, that her grandfather was Jewish.[9]”
13@Sandridge #12,
If I am crab-bucketing, it isn’t on purpose, but I thought it cogent to her story. I don’t have any purpose but hoping for a candidate who can stop Traitor McTurtle from continuing to screw our country.
I know enough to distinguish anti-Zionism from anti-Semitism, but that is a hard sell in many places. I know enough about the conflict in and around the holy land that the last thing I would wish to do is be in charge of it’s resolution…
14Whoa! She’s got my vote. Where do I have to move to cast it?!
15By Gawd, they did it again!
Well, actually Plame came first — but the result looks like it’s going to be the same in both cases.
Republicans just can’t help themselves. They do just keep on shooting themselves in the foot, don’t they?
First, they outed Plame and now she’s coming for them.
Then, when Obama appointed Warren to build the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from scratch and wanted her to run it, they refused to meet with her, let alone bring her name to the floor. And we all know what happened next.
Republicans do keep telling women not to worry their pretty little heads about big, manly stuff like government. And those women just keep on handing them their butts on a platter.
I’m pretty poor, these days so have been confining myself to giving to Warren and my own representative in the House. But I think I’m going to have to shoot $5 Plame’s way, just to show her I’m with her from afar.
16Nevertheless, she persisted.
17Thuglicans in the past two administrations have exposed US intelligence operations/individuals for petty political payback.
18The present administration has gutted the “non-combat” funds of the military for a petty political stunt.
Last thuglican administration started a war of conquest, endorsed torture, eliminated the concept of responsibility for criminal activity for our baby mercs, shredded the Geneva rules, adopted the nuremberg defense for murders/sadist/ incompetents and marched the country right into the “Big Muddy”.
Yet the military loves these second rate punks.
Voting for them by overwhelming majorities.
The very definition of cognitive dissonance. Placing the country at greater risk while claiming to be the party of security.
I should hope that these are not the best of our country or we are in a bigger hole then I could imagine.
I kept wondering when Marley’s ghost was going to turn up and turn out the nitwit Rs in D.C. wherever they were. Well, it seems Marley has sent in his relief pitcher and she throws a mean spitball with flames.
19Dayum. Just Dayum.
20New Mexico’s 3rd district is heavily Democratic; however we are extremely rural and poor with 50% unemployment.
21If Valarie ever gets out of Santa Fe, she might want to learn something about the people and their needs and points of view.
She has a steep uphill climb.
Now that woman knows how to campaign!
