Here at TPM-- I’ve attempted to defend the state I live in from ad hominem slurs over the years.
But this?

And here I thought that Greg Abbott had a wisp of intelligence.
Now? All I can muster is-- Abbott you ignorant MFer.

Now-- I-- and my state-- have to admit to laughingstock-status.

Well, the dumbest thing I ever heard of was over at RightWingWatch where Uncle Ben said God appeared to him in a dream and gave him a sort of celestial crib sheet so he could ace a chemistry exam.

Course these guys STILL keep talking. so you never know what they’ll come up with next.

You think this is the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard? Wait a week or two. The way the rhetoric is evolving on the right, this nonsense will look like a normal day.

THIS is how Democratic pols should be reacting to the (latest) Texas lunacy instead of a mealy-mouthed no comment like Colorado’s gov did yesterday.

Sympathies. Hope you’re at least in Austin, or one of the other little pockets of sanity in the state.

Can we have a summary? What’s the dumbest thing YOU’VE ever heard in politics?

The answers should be priceless. Talk about an embarrassment of riches.

Cornyn is the one surprising me. He’s supposed to be the mainline business type.

“The Virginia Democrat pointed out that his state is the country’s top beneficiary of defense spending”

Well of course he’d deny the takeover operation, then, wouldn’t he! Study it out, sheeple.

Oh hey,
You are the state of Barbara Jordan, Anne Richards, Cecile Richards, Kinky Friedman and Anita Pace. Just ignore the generalizations and remember where Ronald Reagan governed. That is the shame I live with,

Uh, Tim Cotton and 45 other Senate Republicans writing the Ayattolah of Iran and all the other leaders there, to tell them not to trust our own country’s Commander in Chief. That sorta ranks right up there for me. The letter was so fucking bad that when Cotton explained Iran didn’t understand how our Constitution works they had to write back and explain to Cotton how our Constitution actually does work to that pipsqueak punk.

Cotton and his ilk are a bunch of small minded pricks with very little common sense and a whole lot of false bravado…who are sure to get us all into another war sometime soon in our near future as a favor to their paymasters in the defense contracting industry.

Is Greg Abbott a partaker of Lophophora williamsii and does he collect them illegally from the backcountry of S.W. Texas in his knobby-tired AWD wheelchair, where they are secured in a secret compartment?. Is Jade Helm interfering with his covert and notorious operation? It would be wrong and irresponsible not to ask.
