Schmaltz Across Texas
You probably think I’ve already told you about all the wacky congressvermin in Texas. If so, you would think wrong.
Please meet Texas Congressitch John Culberson. Culberson is from the Houston area, grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, and is part of the fringe group who wanted to pass a law making all Presidential candidates produce a birth certificate. And then he sponsored a bill that all veterans had to have Christian funerals whether that’s what the family wanted or not. Veterans are required to love Jesus, dammit.
Well, Culberson is given to delusional fits of grandeur. I swear on Momma’s kitchen table that Culberson can strut sitting down.
He’s mighty excited about congresstwits who represent 18% of the population shutting down 100% of the government. He is of the opinion that he’s a damn hero.
Prepare yourself for this.
No, seriously, prepare yourself. You may think you’re ready for the height of OMG WTF, but you are not. Deep breath.
Okay, tweet …
.
So Texas Republican Congressman John Culberson thinks he’s like the heroes of 9/11. Guts vs. Gall.
And at the Museum of Overinflated Egos, John has his own room.
Thanks to Norma for the heads up.
A more appropriate response would have been,”Let’s see if there is room under the bed on AF 1 with dumbass dubya so these nasty,evil Libs won’t find and blame us.” “Yeah,let’s roll under the bed.”
1Perhaps he does not remember what happened to that plane…
2Saw this jackwagon on TV the other day. Back where I come, he would be quietly kept in the attic of the family home for all of his natural days. Apparently his family was no where’s as imaginative!
3Wow. I wonder if talks that way around the 9/11 families. Then again, I doubt he’s ever met any of them.
Megalomania. There’s got to be a cure for it someday. I only hope it requires a very, very big needle stuck into their…. brains.
Good Grief.
4Just another Republican Chickenhawk!
5Technically he didn’t insist that “Veterans are required to love Jesus, dammit.”
He is demanding that dead veterans be required to love Jesus. Dammit.
6Being as how the Republicans are the ones taking hostages and threatening devastation unless they get their way, shouldn’t Mr. Culberson be quoting the Al Qaeda guys rather than the folks who acted to stop the terrorists?
7christianity is a religion of peace and if you don’t take that at face value,they’ll kill you.
8Didn’t the wife of the hero on the doomed plane get miffed at Dubya for using the phrase “Let’s roll”. He never used it again.
9Shouldn’t someone be smacking these guys on the back of the head and telling them to shut up??
10Perhaps Culberson still has that silver-plated spoon stuck between his teeth. Spoons notwithstanding, a majority of Texas VOTERS in his district put him in Congress… dammit. Look beyond your friends to figure out why that is if you hope to throw the bum out in 2014. We just have to get rid of these jokers to have any hope of returning our governing bodies to any kinds of working sanity, folks!
11It’s just my humble opinion, but I truly believe the trouble began with Fox & Friends – friends like Newt Gingrich & Timothy LaHaye – and continued on to brainwash the innocent & the ignorant out of pure greed. The Democratic’s appeal to intelligence & logic is just more singing to the choir. Sorry for the rant… just had to get that off my bosum.
12Moms Hugs: we got many of these things elected to Congress because we have been gerrymandered. My very own rep is a classic example of the disease.
For example: Liberal Austin has enough population to have its own rep. Do we? No, we have been divided into 5 US Congressional Districts that all look like the snakes who invented them going from Austin to the suburbs of all the other cities.
13” I swear on Momma’s kitchen table that Culberson can strut sitting down.”
I do love “strut sitting down”, but I love “swearing on Momma’s kitchen table” way more. That really tickles me.
14Where is the photo?
Is he admitting to being a 9/11 terrorist?
15If my memory isn’t failing me, Flight 93 was heading for the Whitehouse. I kinda think Culledboorson would be cheering on the hijackers
16MM ~ We got nobody to blame but ourselves because the districts were gerrymandered first by electing a GOP majority in 2010. Many districts were subsequently contested & decided by courts. The Daily Kos had an article showing the fine art of census math = gerrymandering. That article was updated in January after the 2012 election. It isn’t rocket science, nor should Democrats whine about it. EVERY Democrat needs to study the map for their district & get to work on gathering friends & neighbors around kitchen tables, make a plan to change it, & then get out the vote for Democrats in the next election. It’s how Obama got elected in the first place & got re-elected despite gerrymandering after 2010.

17This comment was pretty interesting…
“…starting from 1950, it looks like tiny, tiny swings in the popular vote can cause big swings in the outcome of the election, for example in 1952 (when presumably a whole new set of gerrymandered districts kicked in):
1950 Dems 235 seats, 48.94%; Repubs 199 seats, 48.85%
1952 Dems 213 seats, 48.94%; Repubs 221 seats, 49.2%
18Oops… didn’t catch this correction in time…
“Sorry, the 1952 line should read 49.2% for Dems”
19I thought I’ve heard it all, JJ. But the dead Vet christian burial thing? You made that up, right?
20I’m beginning to fear that the phrase “Hitler’s children” may be coming to a district near you.
21SO I’m thinking an Army of Egg throwers need to descend on Washington and the the district Homes of these Farts, and start bursting that Teabagistan Bubble.. We may not be able to get them out of office, but at least we could help the dry-cleaning industry a little, and let those baggers know they really don’t represent the majority…..Just sayin
22Yeah, but you won’t believe, THOSE folk actually blame the librul Dems and smear THEM, the libruls, with the Hitler brush. You want to get crazy inside, hang out with them.
