Steve Stockman, ANT*
*Another Nut in Texas
We have so many rightwing nuts in Texas that I suspect I need to make a glossary of them for you to keep up.
In my mind, Steve Stockman is the cream of the crop. The only reason that you don’t hear about him much is because he’s kinda a loner. He accidentally got elected back in 1995 and the voters threw him out after one term. Since then he’s been homeless, bankrupt, found Jesus, and got himself elected again as a reborn tea partier.
He is obsessed with impeaching President Obama.
Now he’s hired a lawyer named Bill Olson, who ain’t exactly cooking with gas. He says Olson is looking into the possibility of impeaching President Obama because, you know, all that was lacking in previous attempts was a lawyer whose partner sells food supplements to cure cancer.
The Olson law firm is now investigating impeaching Obama. And as popular as Republicans are with the general public right now, I suspect that President Obama is not sleeping well at night worrying about this.
So, if you happen to run into Steve, tell him to keep up the good work, except he needs to be louder!
Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.
Yep please oh please pass a bill of impeachment. After the fine response the GOP received from shutting down the government this should make their future for the next ten years.
1So that’s what the ANT Christ means. These
2nutty Texans crusading for impeachment better hurry up and get on with it or their dear little hate-filled hearts will break when President Obama’s term expires and Hillary is elected. Then they’ll have to start all over again.
It will be interesting to see who they hate more, a black president or a woman president.
How did he have the money for a lawyer, (never mind) after he bought 530+ “How to Do It” books to pass out to everybody in Congress?
3Everybody needs a goal. At least he’s not holding up people with a gun to promote his views, so far as we know.
4What a wonderful idea! I mean, the Tea Party could just push for another shutdown and a debt default, but that’s old and boring. An impeachment in 2014, an election year, would be fresh and exciting.
Please proceed, gentlemen (and I use the word loosely).

6OT but has anyone seen the new Bloomberg Businessweek cover of Cruz through the Looking Glass?
7Steve should have hired the partner. Food supplements have a better chance of impeaching Obama than a lawyer and they’re a damn sight cheaper. Pass some “bath salts” around the Caucus and who knows?
8Cruz? Through the Looking Glass? Are you trying to scare me?

The one where “Carnival” Ted is the “Mad Hatter”?
It does him justice….
10Just Saying…..

12Hooboy. When I think I’ve gone crazy I just look around at the news.
13My dream trifecta is
141. Gov’t shutdown
2. Impeachment
3. Ted Cruz for President!
I’m one third of the way home and Steve Stockman is my ticket in the second round!
“It will be interesting to see who they hate more, a black president or a woman president.”
Maryelle, we should have elected Barbara Jordan or Shirley Chisholm and watched their little heads explode.
15Michael Cole is running against him. Cole makes sense. He’s intelligent, thinks logically, and treats people with respect. Stockman, of course, is capable of none of those things. What I admire most about Cole, though, is that he has the stomach to wade through the crap Stockman flings all around himself. Dealing with Stockman’s barnyard leavings is going to be tough, and expensive. Part with a few bucks for Cole, and help him clean up one more corner of Texas. We have a lot of corners that need cleaning.
16So will anyone be surprised when the nut cases claim that Hillary wasn’t born in the US? I’m actually happy to know that Stockman is spending some of the paychecks he’s been stealing on attorneys instead of wild women and dancehall girls.
17Notice that they NEVER say why POTUS Obama should be impeached?
Just that they should impeach him.
Let them. See how the American people treat them in the 14 elections.
18Funniest line I heard concerning the shutdown:
19The Republicans did get something for the shutdown – 8 years of Hillary.
