Folks in Texas know for a damn fact that our Lt. Governor and former talk show radio host, Dan Patrick, is so far radical right that that he smashed into the Steve Bannon wall years ago. He is an ardent Donald Trump supporter. I mean, to the point that it’s kind of heterosexually embarrassing.  By the way, Dan Patrick is his stage name.  His real name is Dannie Goeb.

Bad news: he reproduced himself.  His son, Ryan Patrick – who uses his dad’s stage name – went to law school. He worked in the DA’s office for a number of years. In 2012, Rick Perry appointed him to an empty district judgeship in Harris County. In the 2016 election, he was beat, badly.  He did not distinguish himself in either job.

Well, Trump is appointing Ryan Patrick as US Attorney of the Southern District.

If confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Patrick will become the top federal prosecutor in one of the busiest districts in the country. The Southern District, which includes Houston, Galveston and Corpus Christi, represents 43 counties, 8.3 million people and 44,000 square miles of the Lone Star State.

I can no evidence that he has ever practiced law in a federal court.  He says that doesn’t matter because the job is mainly administrative. Oh hell no. If you don’t know what your office is supposed to be doing, how the hell can you administer it?

But, he’s cute as the dickens an he’s Dan Patrick’s son. I guess they couldn’t find him a job as ambassador.
