All this time, we thought Greg Abbott hated Washington, DeeCee.
Well, not at Pay to Play Time. Ho boy, he wants their money. Best I can tell, he seems to be honoring himself.
The Bradley Patrick Group are GOP fundraisers. The ad is paid for by Greg Abbott.
The guy is honoring himself. That sounds like fun.
Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Just in case you wanted access to the governor of Texas, you could put on your fancy boots and bolo and off you go then.
1he is such a ………..is your mom reading? never mind.
2I have given myself birthday parties, but I never charged the guests a fee to come (my friends would know I’d gone stark raving mad, if I tried that.) (And if they came, they’d bring the guy with the butterfly net and the nice white jacket.) It’s honor enough to have friends who will drive a couple hundred miles…why does he need money, anyway?
My mama, were she still alive, would be shaking her head and muttering “Tacky. Really, really tacky.”
3What’s he doing begging for money in Washington? I could make some rude remarks. We’re not paying him enough? What’s he planning to run for?
4It will be interesting to find out just how many folks shows up for this!!
If I had one, I’d send him a plugged nickel!! LOL Wait, on second thought, no I wouldn’t!!
5Honoring him? For what? Getting elected? Boy, talk about setting a low bar.
6For some strange reason wingnuts like to pat themselves on the back for getting elected in heavily gerrymandered districts and states. South Dakota’s wingnuts don’t credit gerrymandering or the fact they control every single state office,they blame Dems for not getting more people to vote Democratic. It is weird.
7Exactly, epo.
8Seeing the price of admission one would expect to be served something unique for lunch. May I suggest a menu of boiled hot dogs, canned pork & beans, and tap water. Garnished with mustard and ketchup in little packages lift from the convenience store. This would be a meal that 99.9% of the guest have not experienced you may rest assured.
9Anybody know why “Texans for Greg Abbott” is in Alexandria, Virginia?
I can’t come up with any response to this whole thing that doesn’t involve the word “lobbyist.”
10Magda@BradleyPatrickGroup is Magda El-Tobgui Patrick, a veteran GOP fundraiser. She and Amy Ford Bradley, another political fundraiser are partners in what is described as a “boutique fundraising firm.”
Magda Patrick is the registered agent for the BPGroup at the Fairfax Street address in Alexandria, Virginia.
11Charlie Palmer’s????
You can’t get more political establishment (not to mention expensive) than that place.
12“The guy is honoring himself.”
if he doesn’t do it, who will? nobody, absolutely nobody.
13Isn’t this like throwing a baby shower for yourself? Tacky, tacky, tacky.
14Our office gets invites to fundraisers all the time, the majority of them from people who could not possibly be associated with us in any way, shape or form, and for reasons that are sometimes unfathomable, like this invite! These are the ones that are rendered immediately into our high tech filing system (the shredder). This system absolutely relishes invites from what are brazenly snake oil grifters. You can hear the teeth gnashing and slashing with delight just like a hungry dragon from clear across – oh, I dunno – the office! Since I’m the one who has to collect these damn invites as they come in via USPS, the fax machine or e-mail and feed the dragon, I am also one of two here that decide on the worth and value of the ones we do accept: we are attending and funding more often more and more of the women in both the House and Senate, and for the most part, they are Dems!
15Maybe he thinks that some lobbying group wants extra honor for hiring people with disabilities and he wants to make himself available. Oh, my bad.
16Maybe he is getting ready to run for Ted Cruz’s Senate seat. He obviously thinks Ted will not be occupying it for some reason… be that having been elected President, or having been run out on a rail from office by his constituents, or pummeled senseless by his fellow Republican Senators. Perhaps, he has seen the power of having a SuperPac loaded with bucks… and has a Godfather Complex. Pitiful.
17I never get invites to fund-raisers. I guess the zip code I live in isn’t as statistically well-heeled as some others.
18Good for you, Maggie and Rhea. And Micr, I’ll be glad to bundle up the invites and send to you. I ain’t paying $250 (lowest price) to dress up and go find a place to park and listen to a bunch of speeches. And I also ain’t got no firepower of any kind, in case y’all are thinking of adding me to your fund raising lists.
19If Abbott was truly hungry I’d feed him. If he actually needed a place to stay, or some clothes (like those CEOs in France) I’d dig out an old shirt of my husband’s and give to him. But give him money? I don’t think so.
