Y’all, This Is So Cute and Sad
I have told you guys about Sid Miller, the Texas Agriculture Commissioner, being a man who is so crooked that he has to screw on his socks in the morning.
It ain’t gonna get any better.
Travis County prosecutors will not press criminal charges against Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller for tapping taxpayer funds for two trips that involved personal activities — including an appearance in a Mississippi rodeo and the receipt of a medical injection in Oklahoma called the “Jesus Shot.”
The reason?
“Our office has determined that criminal intent would be difficult to prove in this case.”
So that means Miller is too stoopid to know right from wrong. That’s kinda sad.
Here’s the cute part.
In her memo, Oswald [the prosecutor] wrote “it is clear that Commissioner Miller used campaign and state funds to pay for the two trips,” but noted that he had fully repaid the state.
“Additionally, the total amount spent on the trips was relatively small, the state has been refunded all the money it expended on these trips, and the facts have been made known publicly so that Commissioner Miller is likely to be more careful in the future,” the memo said.
So if I rob a bank in Austin of just a little money and then pay it back we’re okay?
Plus, there’s that whole idea that Sid Miller will be more careful. Yeah, when gators fly.
A statement posted Tuesday to Miller’s Facebook account said the commissioner was “pleased this process is now complete and that he has been cleared of any wrongdoing.”
Sid says he didn’t do nothing wrong. Because Sid is too dumb to recognize wrong even if it had a name tag and a siren.
So, he didn’t steal from the state fund, he just borrowed from it?
1Well, okey-dokey, then.
Hmmmm. Keep this guy away from a bank!
2He’s not dumb, just the avg, low IQ bigot. How about the voters that put him in office. Think for a sec about the avg. voter. Now think about the fact that 50% of voters are dumber than them. Makes you want to cry don’t it?
3RastyBob, what makes me want to cry are the jackwagons these dumbass voters keep electing. They just pull R no matter who it is or what they’ve done. Even I’ve voted against a local D when he was an arrogant loudmouth on the take, but too many don’t bother to read or think. I keep wishing for some kind of “Have you been paying attention?” quiz before admission to the voting booth….
4The Travis county D.A.’s statement should have read “Our office has determined that, here in Texas, criminal intent would be difficult to prove in this case.” Too bad Sid didn’t delete a couple of emails. Trey Gowder woulda got us some justice.
5Classic def. of embezzling – even the repayment.
6Sid’s smile looks about as phony as the one on the guy in those eharmony.com commercials.
7Mike –
EEEWWWW, that old guy is creepy!
Seriously – discussing dating site clients with his granddaughter?? Squicks me out.
8So sick of these Republican criminals getting away with everything.
9Who did he steal the repayment money from?
10Well, it is innocent until proven filthy, isn’t it?
11Lunargent and JAKvirginia – Yeah.
In that photo you can almost see the slime oozing out. Eeeuuuuwwwwww.
12This idiot took the two trips during his first month in office, so it can be presumed he had them planned in advance. Also, at first he tried to lie his way out of it.
13Texas Republicans….The gift that keeps on giving.
14That should be “The Grift that keeps on Grifting”.
I would ask if these scumbags have no shame, but it’s obviously a rhetorical question.
15When is TX going to turn blue? Please!
