Duckie Boy Gains Fame!
Okay, so it’s one thing when Texas Congressvarmints make fools of themselves in Texas, but, Honey, when they do it in the Washington Post, it makes my butt itch.
Blake Farenthold and a “Friend.”
I’ve introduced you to Texas Rep. Blake Farenthold before. He represents the Corpus Christi area and is well known for being goofy as a duck on … I dunno, pajamas?
He’s not terribly bright. He got elected accidentally and then kept his seat through underhanded redistricting.
So, the Washington Post did a nice think-piece on the shutdown and used this sterling example.
So Boehner is keeping Tea Partyers happy as long as possible. This anecdote captures it perfectly:
“We’re more united in the conference now than we’ve ever been,” said Rep. Blake Farenthold, a second-term lawmaker. Eighteen months ago, the speaker “couldn’t pick me out of a lineup,” Farenthold said. “He now blows me kisses.”
So what Farenthold is telling you that he only gained attention and fame by being a total jerk and hurting America. And as you can tell from the picture, attention is very important to him.
But now the bigger question becomes, will his constituents be able to pick him out of a ballot?
And y’all, the thought of John Boehner throwing kisses makes me … somebody grab a garbage can quick!
Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.
Ducky boy has been interviewed a few times over the last couple of days. He does not come off well
1How could anyone forget that face? People probably see him in their nightmares.
2Ducky-boy ( I believe it was him) was interviewed yesterday on CNN on where he was when the shooting was happening. He was trying to find a vacuum with his daughter to clean his office since there are no janitorial staff now. Then he called his Mom. Did anybody see this and can confirm it was him?
3He was in a suit and tie….not jammers with ducks.
OH GAWD, it’s a good thing I haven’t had dinner yet. Seeing that picture after eating would bring on a hurl.
Our Congressvarmits really are worse than most other states.
I best have a tall glass of Bacardi Ron Añejo now, it’s lots better than brain bleach…
4I caught Blake on Chris Hayes’s show last night. Blake said that the GOP no longer wanted to defund Obamacare, they want to repeal the individual mandate. Hayes practically screamed at him, “But you voted to defund FOUR DAYS AGO!”
I thought Hayes was going to beat his own head on the desk right then and there, and Blake just kept grinning.
5I’m with Terry Smith on this one … I saw Blake “the gap-toothed pig” on “Up with Chris Hayes” yesterday, as well. Jesus, what a pitiful excuse for a U.S. Rep … he was probably ecstatic to be on national teevee and couldn’t wipe the idiotic, gap-toothed grin off his fat face! All I could do everytime he opened his pie hole was yell “You fat pig” at the teevee!
I have to beg for forgiveness every single day because of these people … I yell, I swear, I am not a nice person when I see or hear any of these poor excuses of human vermin.
See … see how they make me behave! LOL It is so not pretty!!

Caroline-part of that interview is in here. Scroll down to where interns have to vacuum.
7He doesn’t have any pride in his personal appearance [read- loose weight] why would we expect any positive contribution to good governance.
8JJ,
Now how am I supposed to get that photo image out of my head, that is an image that makes the Baby Jesus cry.
9“blows me kisses?”
I don’t think that is something you brag about in Texas, getting kisses from another man.
10Where did he find pajamas like that in his size? A fetish website? That picture is ick on so many levels.
11@e platypus onion……Thanx!!
12Have seen Blakey interviewed several times recently. I’m convinced his smile muscles are stuck on hold. It’s freaky.
13Marcia: I have to agree. Saw him on Chris Hayes, sent his pajammy pic to my husband, who could NOT believe it. He was very happy to be on, Fattie Farenthold, and wanted to make the “right” points…haha. Chubby Blake looks like a jack o’lantern, which is at least seasonal! Happy Halloween!
14Michele, thanks for the laugh, even though I’m reaching for the brain bleach now.
15When Boehner blew those kisses was Farenthold in his ducky pajamas?
Kinky.
16Flake Farthold lets one rip again. Stinky.
17There are so many Texas morons in Congress, one needs a scorecard to keep track. The whole country needs to contribute to the Texas Democratic Party to get rid of them.
18Boehner blew him a kiss? Is he serious? and I think the jammies are funny. A friend asked if it had been photoshopped and I said no.
19AT Marcia in Co… I lived in Denver for 35 years. Tried every day to fly under the radar that I was a Texan…(I tried to emphasize that my maternal grandfather was born in Swink, Co, that my uncle was a minister up in Estes Park.) Many people in Colorado do NOT like Texans…
When you tell people that every fall there is the Great Tomato War, where a team of Coloradans and a team of Texans engage in an all out war with rotten tomato throwing, they are shocked. Yep, it happens. Folks wait all summer for the festivities. People up in the mountains are particularly hostile toward Texans. Has to do with white-knuckle drivers in big ole vehicles and Winnebagos that have not been altitude adjusted trying to creep up the mountain passes at 10mph, belching black smoke…holding up traffic for miles.
I’ve discovered that Texans are lovely, kind and generous, when IN Texas… it is when they get outside the State Borders, they turn into the loudest, most obnoxious drunks on the beach, the ski slope, or the bars. The women wear too much jewelry. The men dress like they are extras in a bad B-Western movie. They all sound like they just stepped out of a Country Cornflakes Commercial. The only topic of conversation is how great Texas is, how much better, bigger, yada yada, and the typical un-Texan just wants them to go back home. Anyone who has lived in Colorado knows this.
Hence the pride we all have in our Republican Congressional delegation… Farenthold, Gomert, Neugebauer, Cruz, Rick Perry, George W, oh the list goes on and on. All acting like dunces…chest puffed out with crazy stuff spouting out of their mouths. Texas Republicans keep making the Texas-brand/image worse and worse.
Indeed, “Houston… we have a problem”.
20Miss Prissybritches I think you are spot on. It is much worse when you are in a Romance language country and the Texans are so LOUD –it’s difficult enough to be an American abroad, but when you get lumped in with Texans who may be on the same tour bus–although acting totally differently–dressed in bright look-at-me colors, lots of makeup and jewelry (and that’s just the men) no,–joke, that’s a joke! Keep your guns out of this!
21That makes it tricky for those us us who blend in–the old Greek islanders get confused because your clothes are right but your accent is so wrong…
And because of Shrub and other stupid US moves, I prefer to blend as much as possible…heck if I could just get my healthcare needs met I’d travel forever–the world is so interesting!
