Can You Die of Schadenfreude Overdose?
We have a Republican attorney general in Texas who goes by the name of Ken Paxton. We might be seeing that change soon as he will be known as Stinky Dwayne’s Cellmate.
The criminal investigation against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has taken a more serious turn, with special prosecutors now planning to present a first-degree felony securities fraud case against him to a Collin County grand jury.
Special prosecutor Kent Schaffer said Wednesday afternoon that the Texas Rangers uncovered new evidence during the investigation that led to the securities fraud allegations against the sitting attorney general.
This would not be near as much fun if —-
—Paxton was not the most arrogant man among highly arrogant men. Honey, he can strut sitting down.
— Paxton had not advised county clerks in Texas to violate the order of the Supreme Court in gay marriage.
— Paxton had not led a life of larceny.
— Paxton had not won with straight Republican voting, defeating one of the most ethical lawyers in Texas.
— Y’all, he’s just a jerk.
So, if he’s indicted on a first degree felony, that could mean life in prison. That’s not gonna be pleasant in Texas. Stinky Dwayne still holds a grudge against lawyers since his last divorce.
Thanks to Buff for the heads up.
Then again Stinky might greet Kenny with, “Will ain’t you about the purtiest cell mate in the joint! Come sit by me, sweetheart.”
1I know there has to be an excellent reason why Texans keep electing crooks to run the state, but…… for the life of me I can’t figure out what it is…..
Unless……. crooks are all the Republicans can put on the ballot.
Anybody??????
I got nuthin’
2I hope Stinky Dwayne is kind enough to share his good fortune with his neighbors.
3Good things southern wingnuts have trusty Plan B+ Deluxe-the hand picked,5th Circuit Court of expungerating all charges against crooked wingnut pols-Tom Delay style.
4Someone explain why women can’t bare their breasts in public while wingnuts are free to parade their “pricks” on tv(especially Fake Noise) every minute of every waking day.
5p.s. Sorry Mama for the naughty reference.
6When Inmate Ken Paxton tries to explain to Stinky Dwayne and his crew that what they want to do is against prison regulations as well as state and federal law, I’m sure Dwayne will be pleased to discuss the overriding authority of personal beliefs with the former Attorney General.
7There is only one thing I’d like to be able to say to folk like Paxton and delay and some others… “Knowing and understanding your rights as I have explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney present?”
8So the guy who says you can ignore the Supreme Court is a scofflaw? I am shocked. Shocked!
9I’m just wondering why Crooks and Liars has this under Susie Madrak’s name?
10Well ain’t that a kick in the Repubicman’s pants! (new spelling)
11Speaking of kicking Repubicmen, where is the case against Tricky Ricky going? Shouldn’t there have been a trial by now?
charles r. I’m wondering the same thing. This Madrak person has absolutely claim-jumped Juanita Jean stories in the past, writing milquetoast columns (compared to our Chief) on Texas issues.
Now, she’s gone for the straight lift? Is it Rand (plagiarizing everyone especially my dad) Paul in drag?
12I also wondered who Susie Madrak was – as I read it, I could hear our Juanita’s voice – what gives?
13They fixed it!
14Hey Guys, I have given Crooks and Liars permission to reuse my stuff. I just checked and my name is there, thanks to DaChipster. I kinda wish they would link to my site. That seems like the polite thing to do.
15Paxton looks as if he just doesn’t believe any of the bad things happening to him cuz his behavior is beyond the law as in I Am The Law. Securities fraud! Thats as good as when the guvmint got Al Capone on income tax charges! And he obviously hates tax payers, especially the gay ones who must go to a clerical office to get a wedding license and be treated like dirt even thought, hell, they are tax payers. Wonder how much income tax Paxton has paid — and how much of his income he has hidden?
16Death from a schadenfreude overdose? Never heard of one. However, I have heard that it’s possible to get a bit tipsy. That’s just rumor.
17Miemaw: I believe you answered your own question.
18PLEASE –
19Don’t get our hopes up.
I’d like to think so…
20So why is it that the one I feel sorry for is Stinky Dwayne?
21remember what ben carson said about being in jail and becoming gay?
will ken pason come out of jail- gasp— homosexual and want to get gay married?????
22Life in prison? No chance. He’s white, middle-aged (more or less) and well to do. Worst-case scenario for him is a conviction and sentence of probation. He won’t serve a day in prison. Now if he were black, and charged with possession of half an ounce of pot planted on him by a LEO, then life in prison would be a real possibility. But for securities fraud? Never happen.
23Serious question here folks. Let’s assume he is convicted and given probation, can he be stripped of his position based on extreme irony.
