We’re Not Jacking Around Here, Y’all. Dan Patrick is Freekin’ Nuts.
I know people from foreign states think we’re overreacting to the possibility of a Dan Patrick win.
He believes crazy stuff. You know, like that God speaks to us through the teevee show Duck Dynasty.
And that God dictated a book to him. God named it The Second Most Important Book You Will Ever Read.
“As the author, I am obviously biased,” Patrick wrote in an Amazon review of his own book. But “since God inspired me to write this book,” he added, “He automatically gets 5 stars and the CREDIT!'”
I seriously doubt that God got the royalties.
And he had a deep hatred of anything not white or male.
On Connie Chung’s TV show, Eye to Eye: Patrick quipped in 1992 that the Asian American journalist’s show should be called “Slanted Eye to Eye.” Although Patrick’s remarks sparked a local media firestorm, he did not change his ways. In 1999, a Houston Press profile noted that “Patrick lapsed into a faux-Chinese accent when he thought he heard a network correspondent call Clinton, in the midst of the Chinese-espionage scandal, ‘President Crinton,'” and later joked that Clinton should get surgery to “make his eyes slanted.”
And he’s nicer to Asian than he is Hispanics. He pretty much thinks they are all terrorists intent on spreading leprosy and polio.
And, y’all, he painted the Statue of Liberty with Jesus’ face. No, I am absolutely not kidding. He’s got Jesus in drag.
Call every Texan you know and tell them to go vote for Leticia Van De Putte. It’s important.
Thanks to Kevin for the reminder of how nuts Dan Patrick really is.
It is hard, obviously too hard, for me not to notice and comment on this guy’s big hair and the time he must take perfecting it every day. I KNOW one salon he wouldn’t go to but if he follows pRick as Governor there – and for all my friends here I pray that does not come to pass – it will confirm a nascent theory that Texas breeds Governors who are all hair, no brains. No morals. No nothing really. GO VOTE!
1I have that picture of Patrick on the back of my truck along with the caption:
2DOES THIS ASS MAKE MY TRUCK LOOK BIG?
Go Blue Texas! Vote for Leticia Van De Putte, Lt Gov & Wendy Davis for Governor.
Have the choices ever been more clear?
3I thought Jesus was always in drag, along with the Supreme Court and the Pope. But that is one butt-ugly piece of art.
People who think they speak for their god are always worrying, whether they’re writing books or sacrificing to the volcano. Fanatics of any stripe are dangerous, scary people, because they think they’re entitled to ride roughshod over everybody else. Frederick Douglass said that’s why the religious slaveowners were the most brutal.
I keep reading that the GOP is going to control the Senate, and my only comfort (besides donating) is that sometimes all the experts are wrong. But I’m getting real tired of the PANIC APOCALYPSE WE’RE BEGGING AND PLEADING flood of donation-soliciting emails…..
4Hmmm. Rainbow flag wearing lady Jesus. Interesting.
5Amazing what a handful of Chiclets’s will do for a smile!
6I couldn’t compose a civil comment as I read the story.
7THEN @Mike, who must be communing with SaTaN, said
“I have that picture of Patrick on the back of my truck along with the caption: DOES THIS ASS MAKE MY TRUCK LOOK BIG?”
I’m out. After I can take a breath without an unmanly giggle I’ll be Bach.
Every time I see that picture, I’m taken back thinking what’s Miss Lindsey doing in Texas? The Stepford Bro’s http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/congress/members/photos/228/G000359.jpg
8Micr–Yep, Mike cracked me up, too! Love it!
9Here’s the thing…. according to Miemaw.
I’m a Protestant… Got nothing against those of the Catholic Faith…… except…. I don’t want you to tell me how I should live.
If you want the Catholic Church to run Texas…… you vote for the idiots in charge……. Abbott…. and Patrick. If not…NOT. If you live in Texas…… get your butt to the nearest early voting place. …. AND VOTE.
I DID IT YESTERDAY………
GIT’ ER DONE…….
10I voted yesterday. At noon on the first day there was a line at the polls. I just don’t believe that so many people would turn out to vote for lunatics. We’ll see.
11I’m trying to imagine Dan Patrick wearing a tin foil hat. Yes, that would be a good look for Dan.
12It’s in at about 1.2 millionth place in Amazon’s top two million list. With a bullet.
13I did the early voting routine today. I betcha the purple-haired 85 year-old lady in the booth next to me marked a straight Republican ballot. That she was done in 10 seconds was the dead give-away. The only saving grace was that my votes for Democrat and Green candidates, which took a while, cancelled her votes out.
14Angelo_Frank better yet, if there were any propositions or ballot issues on which to vote, she didn’t have time to ixnay on the cannabis or classrooms for kids.
15I think the painting is actually kind of cool but I kinda doubt that Mr. Patrick had a photo of Jesus to check out the similarities. Reading him is a good reminder of why we need to not only vote, but go next door and across the street and down the block and offer rides to folks who haven’t voted yet. Or something. You in Texas must know SOMEONE you can call and ask if he/she has voted yet.
16What’s with his nose? Did he fall asleep on a dermabrasion wheel?
