So, along side Harry S Truman and Stan Musial, the Missouri House of Representative decided to put a bust of Rush Limbaugh.

Bust is a funny word to use for this, being as how Rush is always pulling at his shirt, like his bra is too tight.  However, they couldn’t have put a full statue because there’s not enough copper and tin the world to make a statue of Rush.

The induction ceremony was closed-door.  I do not want to know what they did behind that closed door because I’m sure it involved drugs, hookers, and guns.  Face it, Rush is Hunter Thompson minus the self-effacing sense of humor about it all.

Anyway, now we find out that Missouri taxpayers are footing the bill for a $1,000 security camera for Rush’s bust.

Hell, Dolly Parton doesn’t need a $1,100 security camera for her bust.

You’ll be happy to know that woman gets the last word.

Assistant House Minority Leader Tishaura Jones told the AP she thought the taxpayer money had better places to go.

“If they thought that the bust might be defaced or vandalized and they have to guard it with a camera, it’s another indication that maybe they shouldn’t have put it there,” said Jones, D-St. Louis. “It’s another chapter in this never-ending saga of this man who deserves no honor in the people’s house.”

You go, Girl!

Why Republicans oppose birth control.

Seriously.  They really are.

Thanks to Sue for the heads-up.

And speaking of Donald Trump ….

Y’all, I just love intellectual, well-reasoned disagreements between two grown men.

ABC News’s George Will and Donald Trump traded insults on Sunday, after the commentator said he didn’t understand why Mitt Romney would hold campaign with Trump. Will called Trump a “bloviating ignoramus” and said that Trump is “redundant evidence that if your net worth is high enough, your IQ can be very low and you can intrude on American politics.” Trump jumped to Twitter to defend himself, saying “George Will may be the dumbest (and most overrated) political commentator of all time. If the Republican listen to him, they will lose.”

George, Honey, Mitt is going to lose no matter who he campaigns with.  Don’t get carried away here.

And face it, if Trump gets to be the keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention, it will be the most watched speech of all time.  Not in a good way, of course, but people will watch it.

Thanks to David for the heads-up.

If you cannot stand up the Donald Trump’s insane ravings, then maybe being the leader of the free world is not your calling.

Romney told reporters Monday:

You know, I don’t agree with all the people who support me and my guess is they don’t all agree with everything I believe in. But I need to get 50.1 percent or more and I’m appreciative to have the help of a lot of good people.

So, you know, if Ted Kaczynski or Sister Souljah wants to endorse him, that’s just fine.

Look, if Romney would make deals with the devil to be President, maybe he ought to be required to get a pitch fork and cloven hoofs.

But hey, he and Donald have a lot in common  – they both like to fire people.

Y’all, we are finally holding a primary election in Texas, barring any last minute changes by Republicans legislators.

I’m on call for fist fights, mud wrestling, or the gunfight at the Holy Mother and Blessed Child voting location.  I’ll post any good rumors I hear today and let you guys go check them out.

Hang on, Locals, and let’s get through this with as little biting as possible.

Sometimes PolitiFact Texas makes me crazy.

They claim to seek the truth in political ads, but sometimes they are just so far off base that it’s comical.

That happened again today.

Jeff Wentworth, a Republican State Senator, ran a teevee ad stating that “he restored prayer and the pledge in our schools.”

That, of course is not true.  The story correctly reports that in 1962, the Supremes barred prayer in schools.  Wentworth says that  he was referring to a 2003 piece of legislation he authored as being the “restored prayer” he was talking about.

Well, he caught himself a bad case of Mitt Romney because that’s not what he said in 2003.

Wentworth said during the 2003 legislative session that the minute-of-silence requirement was not a move to bring organized prayer back into the classroom.  “The goal is to instill loyalty and patriotism in public school students, and give them the opportunity to have 60 seconds of quiet at the beginning of the school day” Wentworth was quoted as saying in an April 9, 2003, Dallas Morning News news article.

The story also quoted Wentworth as saying: “It is not school prayer. The language of the bill is very clear about that. … It would not allow audible prayer.”

Hummmm … Not school prayer in 2003, very much school prayer in 2012.

Plus, you’ve got the problem that nobody has ever disallowed the pledge in Texas schools.

So, what does PolitiFact say?  Half-True.

This rating was brought to you by the letters W, T, and F.

Our ruling

Wentworth authored a measure mandating a daily chance for students to pray, though school-led or organized prayers like the ones of his youth remain unconstitutional. Also, Texas lawmakers affirmed the right of students to pray or meditate on their own nearly a decade earlier.

Aside from requiring students to be quiet for a minute, the Wentworth-originated law resulted in students reciting the pledge, as his ad says, though it seems like that had was already occurring in some schools.

Finally, Wentworth did not personally achieve the touted changes, though he was a key advocate.

We rate his claim Half True.

How the dickens do you get half-true out of that?  That is no-true.  No prayer, no pledge, no bragging rights.

Gee, Guys, what the hell does it take to Facts from PolitiFact?
