Sexually disgraced former Texas Republican congressman, Blake Farenthold, must have bit the karma fairy on the butt at some point because that ole gal is dishing it out at him.  

As you recall, after Farenthold left congress with his head hung lower than a snake’s belly, he was suddenly offered a job by the governmental body called The Calhoun Port Authority in Port Lavaca, Texas, at a startling salary of $160,000+ a year which is pretty good money considering that his job did not require actual, you  know, work.  

Plus, a job like Farenthold got at the Port Authority requires a public hearing.  Hell, there wasn’t even a private hearing. There was just a hiring.

So, the local newspaper (God bless ’em!) filed a lawsuit to see any information or records concerning Farenthold’s hiring.  They also asked to take Farenthold’s deposition in the lawsuit.

The Port Authority hired a $400 an hour lawyer at public expense to keep the public from seeing their records and to keep Farenthold from having to testify.

Farenthold’s lawyer replied that the lawsuit’s request for his testimony were “overly broad” and “unduly burdensome.”

Oddly enough, the words “overly broad” and “unduly burdensome” are the two most perfect phrases to describe Farenthold himself.

The judge ruled yesterday.  He said that Farenthold has to testify.

The Karma Fairy was seen over in the corner, giggling herself silly.

Thanks to El Jefe for the heads up.
