The Fat Lady Hasn’t Sung
Well, the Congressman Blake Farenthold story is far from over.
Senator Susan Collins got caught accidentally (?) on a hot microphone about Blake Farenthold wanting to shoot her in a duel.
“Did you see the one who challenged me to a duel?” Collins asks.
“I know,” Reed replies. “Trust me. Do you know why he challenged you to a duel? ‘Cause you could beat the s— out of him.”
“Well, he’s huge,” Collins replies. “And he — I don’t mean to be unkind, but he’s so unattractive it’s unbelievable.”
“Did you see the picture of him in his pajamas next to this Playboy bunny?” she continues, referring to an infamous photo of Farenthold.
And it must have been Susan Collins ope mike night because she and Senator Reed continue, but about the president.
“I swear, [the Office of Management and Budget] just went through and whenever there was ‘grant,’ they just X it out,” Collins says. “With no measurement, no thinking about it, no metrics, no nothing. It’s just incredibly irresponsible.”
“Yes,” Reed replies. “I think — I think he’s crazy,” apparently referring to the president. “I mean, I don’t say that lightly and as a kind of a goofy guy.”
“I’m worried,” Collins replies.
“Oof,” Reed continues. “You know, this thing — if we don’t get a budget deal, we’re going to be paralyzed.”
“I know,” Collins replies.
“[Department of Defense] is going to be paralyzed, everybody is going to be paralyzed,” Reed says.
“I don’t think he knows there is a [Budget Control Act] or anything,” Collins says, referring to a 2011 law that defines the budget process.
I’m worried too, Senator.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
It’s refreshing, even illuminating when we hear politicians speak the truth out loud, in living color. Who needs tweets? If a battle of wits ever did take place between Susan Collins & Blake Farenthold, I’d advise Blake to disappear & get himself in some kind of witless protection program. For his own safety.
1I more than worried. After I learned that Prissy Pussy Pency and Got My Medical McCain opened up “debate” on the Mystery No Medical/Giant Tax Cut for the Rich bill, I did the only thing a reasonable and sane American citizen could do – I bought booze.
2About that ducky jammies picture … that ain’t no Playboy Bunny in that picture … it’s a cheap, bleached blonde bimbo dressed up in some cheap, tacky costume! Hugh Hefner would have kicked that to the curb!
3Rick, please no. Don’t give Jammie Boy logical advice. Let’s not interfere with Senator Collins slapping her name and the taste out of the blob aka Blake’s mouth. If the snacilbupeR in the House, particularly Lyin’ Ryan their “Speaker,” had an ounce of decency, the disgusting perv would be formally sanctioned and not allowed back into the House, until issuing a proper apology to Senator Collins.
Ryan thinks politics have sunk to a new low. Let him be first with action – cleaning up our House. Wisconsin you have a chance. Please do a favor to all of us and give Little Paulie the boot in 2018.
4Good plan, Debbo. Ain’t it special that Grumpy McCain air ambulanced all the way from Scottsdale, AZ on our nickel to screw so many millions off health care?
5McCain had a pretty good rep, then he stained it with Caribou Barbie, minor repairs when he corrected the crazy woman who called Obama an Ay-Rab at McCain’s rally. Now he has totally trashed himself. Completely tarnished, slimmed, scabbed up, bloated, pussed over, oozing, crusted, as totally revolting as any other snacilbupeR on Capitol Hill. F**k you McCain. Hope your tumor takes you slowly and excruciatingly. You’ll still have health care to keep you decently comfortable, unlike 20-30 million Americans.
6Mr. Ducky PJ’s is going to be massively offended that you called him a “lady”.
7According to the WashPost, the mic went dead after Collins referred to that photo which JJ PLEASE for the love of anyone’s personal GOD do not show us again, so I’m assuming the mic melted in disgust.
This is the best and angriest column I’ve seen lately on the GOP “healthcare” bill. They don’t even know what the hell they’re voting on, or how many Americans it will kill, but they need to “keep their promise” to get rid of anything with Obama’s name on it.

8The fat lady didn’t sing, but the fat man has grunted…
9Old Fart: Reminds me of something a coworker from years ago used to say about guys he considered gay. “He’d rather hear a a fat boy fart then a pretty girl sing”
10I thank my lucky stars that I have followed Jj long enough to have a handle on some of the “characters” Texas puts on the national stage. I wish I had brain bleach for the “ducky” picture–but I knew it was that brainless gorm when I saw his name.
11Unbelievable and creepy!
Back in WWII, Mama worked as a welder on the Liberty ships in NOLA. Word came that her brother’s ship was sunk and he was MIA somewhere in the Pacific. She wasn’t in the best of moods at work and, when she found some male welders hiding out below decks playing cards, something snapped. She took out her torch and welded the hatch shut. She then went to her boss to tell him what she did and suggested that maybe if, instead of welding, they should be holding guns on a front line somewhere.
If Mama were alive today, she might be inclined to offer Farenthold some discount proctology work with that torch.
12Ducky jammies, hell I am still revolted by that glamor shot of Farenthold posing in front of his desk (remember that?) Susan Coillins belongs in my pantheon even if she is a republican. I guess, to quote Trump, “some of them are good”.
13I applaud your Mama AlanInAustin! She is my kinda woman for sure – tough, smart, and honest.
