More Swamp Creatures
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.
If he really does get that office, I give him six months.
1Maybe in the outlandish world of Kellyanne Conway’s alternative ‘facts’ Ryan is qualified. Remember, in that world of weird, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions is ‘qualified’ to be US Attorney General.
Nah. Ryan is not even remotely qualified. Or, as Representative Frederica Wilson (D-FL24) would say “Aw Hell No!”
2He’s not really all that cute. He has the same problem as Tom Cotton and Assad – his head is too small for his neck. For some reason, that gives me the willies.
3I don’t know why they couldn’t find him a job as ambassador. Last time I saw the list, a bunch of them had nobody even nominated, including some important ones like, oh, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Turkey, the European Union, Australia…. Here’s the list as of yesterday: http://www.afsa.org/list-ambassadorial-appointments
4Why couldn’t A-butt appoint him Texas’ ambassador to, say, Oregon or Maine? Is this part of a full employment program for snacilbupeR spawn?
5You know, apples *can* fall a distance from the tree. Unfortunately, not very often.
6There is a sickness upon the land.
7Speaking of children past the age of consent, Ryan is nearly as useless as Dimwit Jr.
Mama, please do not open the link. It’s from Wonkette describing how the born on third third generation places extra ick in being a *ick.

As for Ryan, can’t Donnie find him a lawyering job? Seems Donnie is busy creating lawyering jobs in Dee Cee.
8Can you spell/smell NEPOTISM????
9Is “Goober” really a descriptive enough word to paint a word picture?
I think it is!
10Rick “Oops” Perry didn’t know what the Dept. of Energy did until he was appointed secretary. Ben Carson’s qualification for being the head of HUD consisted of growing up in the projects as a child. Trump’s party planner was given a high level job at HUD also. Knowledge or experience is not a requirement. If that were the case, Hillary would be prez and Trump would still be out there grabbin’ women’s hoo-has and shouting “You’re fired!” in an imaginary boardroom on TV.
11The cesspool is becomming more crowded daily. And with sleazier, stinkier creepy crawlers. I give the little pr*** a couple of months at best.
