Thank You, North Carolina, For Weighing In On the Republican Dope Scale
North Carolina State Senator Tommy Tucker (the name alone ought to give you pause before you read more) was on a roll last week.
The very white and the very male Tommy Tucker was singing for his supper last week and the main course turned out to be a steaming bowl of government secrecy. That’s how you know that Republicans are involved – secrecy.
State Governments have to publish notifications in newspapers of certain meetings where screwing the public is being discussed. That way we can know who the screwers are. Tommy Tucker is one of them.
Tommy Tucker wants to take the public notices out of newspapers and print them only on governmental websites. You know, under the control of the very people to want to screw us. Tommy Tucker says it’ll save us money. Yeah, well, so would not paying Tommy Tucker a salary.
So, a newspaper publisher came to speak against the bill. Because the publisher was using unfair tactics like logic and facts, Tommy Tucker needed a response. He had a great one.
“I am the senator. You are the citizen. You need to be quiet.”
Well, there ya go. King George the Third must be prancing all over heaven, screaming, “I was right! I was right!”
Thanks to Norma for the heads up.
He only needed to add “Now sit down and shud-up.” to make a truly memorable moment in American politics.
1I hope the publisher’s retort was “and I pay your salary.”
2How about, “You are the bird poop and I am the wiper blade”? As long as people don’t get involved and vote we’ll end up with cretins like this.
3That’s the very problem with too many politicians of any stripe. They no longer consider the fact that they are working FOR the CITIZENS……..not the other way around.
4They only think of themselves and lobbyists and the next election cycle. It’s a constant election in this country. Nothing will change until we limit their terms as they now exist. Tucker is a disgusting human being!
Yoohoo! I’m in Abilene, hanging out with Miss Prissybritches and we’re talking about THE NERVE of the guys who forget who they represent.
5That’s when we citizen’s may resort to speaking in middle finger sign language, which in my experience, is extremely precise.
6Is Tom Delay leasing his ego out these days?
“I am the government”.
Good Grief.
7A citizen who publishes a newspaper. Who has a platform to get the word out.
Tucker isn’t just arrogant. He’s stupid.
8Tommy Boy, you ever heard of the First Amendment?
9I swear, I have never seen a country with so much Stupid, front and center, in my life!
10I bet I know what a WHOLE LOT of campaign signs are going to say in the next NC Senatorial election!
11This guy has no style. Louis XIV had bling, and a better rap: “L’etat, c’est moi.”
12We all know what rhymes with Tucker.
13The term of office for state senators in North Carolina is two years. It would be nice if the voters of Union County, whom Senator Tucker represents, took it upon themselves in 2014 to tell him, “We are the citizens. You are the ex-senator.”
14Hmmm! Seems to me a former British Prime Minister once told some Your Excellency who did not believe women had what it takes to be in politics, “I am politics.” Actually, that wrapped it up for her. Its that meglomaniac thing about one becoming, well, you know . . . Buh, bye Tommy. But no worries, mate. Retirement is not for sissies.
