Discussion: Texas Gov Severely Burned In Accident, Could Miss GOP Convention

Scalding yourself (an inept attempt at self-immolation?) to get out of going to the convention in Cleveland isn’t the smartest move. Of course, nobody ever accused Abbott of being smart. Still, you’ve got to admire his dedication.

Spokesman Matt Hirsch said Abbott was with his family in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on Thursday when he was scalded in an accident involving hot water. He declined to provide further details.…while they prepare the lawsuit against the stove or pan manufacturer.

Wow, they’ll do anything to get out of the convention.

Well, I hate to give Abbott credit for anything, but the fact that he didn’t say anything about this earlier does show at least minimal political instincts. Drumpf would’ve been 'Yes, people are being shot, but I got hurt while I was in another state!"

How convenient.

Fortunately the extent of the kettles’s damages were constrained by personal injury tort reform.

Either faking or an alcohol related incident?

It’s good to see that the decency of posts is so much above that of conservative sites. We don’t throw around racist comments, just mock people who have suffered serious injuries.

I have fallen and I can’t go to Trump’s convention.

This sure beats all of the “Dog ate my homework” excuses other GOPers have given to miss the convention.

Yikes! Burns are no joke.
I pretty much despise everything this governor stands for, but I don’t wish terrible burns on anyone. Here’s hoping that he fully recovers, and in the process learns some humanity, somehow.

Learning humanity will happen in his next life, not this one.

Jade Helm v2.0

My guess, got drunk and burned himself in a hot tub.

Alex Jones has discovered, in an exclusive undercover investigation, that a ‘Black Ops’ strike, codename Jade Helm Redux, run right out of the White House basement was carried out against Abbott. It was organized by someone codenamed “Bamz” and personally carried out by super assassin “Killery”. More to come on FOX: “Fairly Imbalanced: We distort. You abide.”

More good times in “The Loon Star State.”

I’m more inclined to think he spilled bourbon all over himself and hot ash from his cigar set him on fire.

Now that’s commitment!

This is definitely a new one. Abbot burns Texans with his heated rhetoric and is fool enough to be burnt by the Trump. So claiming that he’s burnt is only apt.

Seriously, he knows that classless Trump would’ve mocked him as his pet ‘handicap’
guy or made some idiotic remark.
It’s sort of nice to see that even the top notch wing nuts recognize how wrong Trump is, even if they have to cook up a silly lie about it.
