Blake Farenthold’s butt ugly picture made the front page of the New York Times today, and it isn’t for anything good, that’s for sure.

Oh, this is a mess.  Adventure after adventure in Farenthold’s congressional office that The Times calls Tawdry Tales.

When Lauren Greene, a former communications director for Representative Blake Farenthold, sued him claiming sexual harassment, among her complaints was that he “disclosed that a female lobbyist had propositioned him for ‘a threesome.’”

Mr. Farenthold, in legal documents, said that Ms. Greene had it wrong. The woman wasn’t a lobbyist, he said.

Oh well, that makes me feel  whole lot better.

Then the redheads.

In the office, the congressman was known to like redheads. In her complaint, Ms. Greene said Mr. Farenthold “regularly drank to excess, and because of his tendency to flirt, the staffers who accompanied him to Capitol Hill functions would joke that they had to be on ‘redhead patrol’ to keep him out of trouble.”

In their response, lawyers for Mr. Farenthold acknowledged that “some staff occasionally joked that Rep. Farenthold finds redheads attractive.”

This guy has lawyers?

Farenthold denies that it’s a problem.  Then why would his staff be joking about it?

Okay, maybe he has lawyers but they don’t like him none at all.

Here’s a heads up.  I spent the weekend in Austin meeting candidates.  One of the candidates I was really impressed with is Eric Holguin.  He’s running against Farenthold.  So, for the next year, I’m going to donate $5 (you can write it in) everydamntime Farenthold embarrasses Texas.

Thanks to Steve for the heads up.
