Today, Sam Clovis, Trump’s nominee for chief scientist at the USDA who has no science training whatsoever, withdrew his nomination today because he’s tied to the Russian investigation.  Who the fool tarnation isn’t tied to Russia in the Trump administration?

Oh, probably Rick Perry.  UnRussian Rick is just too damn dumb and weird to be tied to anything.  Like, you know, common sense.

Perry — the former Republican governor of Texas and erstwhile presidential candidate — told Todd and VandeHei that a young girl he met in a remote African village uses a fire that emanates toxic smoke to read by.

“But also from the standpoint of sexual assault,” Perry said. “When the lights are on, when you have light that shines the righteousness, if you will, on those types of acts.”

He went on, “So, from the standpoint of how you really affect people’s lives, fossil fuels is going to play a role in that. I happen to think it’s going to be a positive role.”

Yeah, support Rick Perry because his energy can positively glow and shine righteousness on those types of acts.

It was also stunning to learn that only fossil fuels can emit light.  Thanks, Rick.

I’m not going to let Rick off the hook for just being dumb.  He’s also crooked.  He’s tied to the Whitefish Energy Company.

Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
