Bill Zedler Didn’t Get The Memo
Y’all, I need to issue an apology for Bill Zedler … well, actually I need to issue several apologies for Zedler, a member of the Texas Yehaw! Legislature.
Zedler was the guy who wanted strippers to have to obtain a license and wear it while performing. He filed a bill that would allow doctors to inject jet fuel into patients – yes, the same doctor who contributed heavily to his campaign – and a bill to outlaw Sharia law in Texas.
So, what’s left?
Where the hell was Barack Obama born, dammit!
Yes, Zedler has introduced a birther bill to the Texas lege. Yehaw!
It would allow the Texas Secretary of State to “obtain a certified copy of the candidate’s birth certificate from the original issuing authority” before that name could go on a Texas ballot.
Me? Hell, I need proof that Zedler was sired by humans.
Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.
Does he like Ted Cruz?
1The Texan by way of Canada?
Talk about slamming the barn gate after the horse is gone! Anybody told this yokel that the “candidate” is on his second term already? These morons really need to get over themselves!
2And Rupert, Roger and Rush continue to laugh all the way to the Bank.
3Geeze, I don’t know which to click on first for my dose of RePig Idiocy – Tennessee and Texas sure are running hand in hand in this YEEHAW STUPIDITY RELAY OF IMBECILES~
4Arlington, should have known….Arlington and Grand Prairie should be removed from Metroplex.
5“Crazy” obviously doesn’t have any set boundaries!
6It’s folks like this who make me see Repubs as a bunch of small minded hamsters running on a wheel. Running and running and running…. all day and all night. Running away from something? Towards something? Who knows? Maybe the wheel powers their wild imaginations or paranoid fantasies.
What a sad, pathetic way to live.
7This man is crazy like a fox…see next election he can boast that it was HIS bill that scared President Obama from running again.
8Hamsters running relentlessly forever on a wheel? Nah! More like poop throwing primates. My apologies to Koko, the sign language primate.
9People keep electing them
They continue to introduce stupid, even idiotic legislation.
And……. people keep electing them.
Makes me nuts.
10When we follow the link to Zedler’s jet fuel injection controversy in the second paragon of JJ’s text, we learn that not only was he pulling in private medical records to protect physicians who contributed to his campaign, but that his so-called “real” job is medical equipment salesman.
Sure sounds like a conflict of interest and a clear ethics violation. Corruption, thy name is Zedler.
11Does the rock they found him under count?
12His doctor friend should inject some of that jet fuel up his you know what, & light it.
13Do you folks in Texas have elections or So You Think You’re Crazy Enough game shows? Of course, up here in the North 40 Below, we are gettin plenty of crazy going on too so who am I to talk?
14Can Rick Perry’s Attorney General be trusted to conduct an objective review of Zedler’s actions?
I agree with UmptyDump – this does sound like a conflict of interest and an ethics violation. Is Zedler an active medical equipment salesman? Even if he isn’t, he has contacts within the industry with whom he coulud share that confidential information – he is not above the appearance of impropriety. Texas physicians – the good ones – and patients should be outraged and demand that the stature allowing this sort of activity be rewritten to limit the access to and use of these records. Additioinally, the agencies holding the records should be able to draft procedures for better oversight. Goodness, that motto should be changed, too – Instead of Don’t Mess with Texas because Texas politicians ARE a Mess and it reflecrs upon the entire state.
15I need to send Zedler a “private” message. He needs to KNOW about that “Jet Fuel doctor.” That’s not a joke, the man is known to the Texas Medical Board.
Although I suppose if the good doctor is giving him money, that is good enough for Zedler.
Want some jet fuel for your campaign? Just spend a little time on-line, and you, too, can share in the riches!
