Lucky me.  I’m just three degrees of Allen West.

As you’ve heard, defeated, deranged and debased Florida Congressman Allen West got two votes for Speaker of the House yesterday.  He immediately demanded a recount.  Last I heard he was refusing to admit defeat until John Boehner could prove he was born in America.

Double lucky me, our local Republicans have a Lincoln / Reagan Day Dinner fundraiser every year.  They feature speakers who, in the last couple of years, aren’t even speaking to Lincoln or Reagan.  This year their February 1st fundraiser features Allen West as the speaker.  Rumor has it that they are trying to scrub him since he lost but it’s not like they haven’t had losers speak before.   Hell, I think they even had Glen Beck last year.

And triple lucky me, it was Louie Gohmert whose vote raised West over that one-damn-vote threshold and gave him the two-fingered fame.

I don’t know how I get this lucky.

Thanks to everybody and their Aunt Bess for telling me about Louie’s vote. I giggled when each email came in.  I’ve raised you people right!
