I Am Almost Home. And By Home I Do Not Mean Travis County.
Guys, I am almost fully back to normal. A day or two more and I’ll be good as new.
But, I had to drop what I’m doing to bring you this. Some folks have mentioned it in the comments but I need to make it a full from age story.
Travis County (think Austin) has elected a Snake Stomping Trump Republican as their county chair. The Texas Tribune describes the reaction of the GOP power structure in Austin as “apoplectic.” I dunno, I think maybe “snot slingin’ roof raisin’ rage” might be more accurate.
To say that Robert Morrow, the new Travis County Republican party chairman is plain spoken is like saying that Van Gogh paints nicely. Morrow cusses like a sailor, oodles women, is convinced that most of the GOP is gay and that Hillary Clinton is “a bull dyke.” The seems real obsessed on this gay thing.
He drops F-bombs like they were tisket-taskets in his basket.
Instead of dog whistles, he just hollers for Rover to get his butt home.
Morrow’s main complaint is with “establishment” Republicans, who he does not believe should hold elected office, he said. Last week, he tweeted that the Republican National Committee was just a “gay foam party.”
Morrow has a long history of critiquing prominent state Republicans in vulgar, and often sexually explicit, terms. For years, he has alleged that Perry is secretly bisexual; in 2010, he referred to him as “Gov. Skank Daddy” in an email.
He also uses the n word and chewed out a reporter for not wanting to use it.
When the Tribune asked about the content of some of Morrow’s social media posts, without using the specific racial slur Morrow had employed, Morrow seized on the omission as an example of corruption within the media.
“You are a perfect example of what the Trump movement is revolting against because you can’t even pronounce the word n—– when you are talking about a Facebook post,” Morrow said. “What a pathetic excuse for a reporter you are.”
Stock up on popcorn, my Texas friends. This is gonna be fun.
Thanks to everybody and their Aunt Matilda for the heads up.
