| Rep. Blake Farenthold |
Rep. Blake Farenthold’s (R-TX) interview with conservative broadcaster Newsmax veered from a discussion of military force against the Islamic State (ISIS) extremist group to discussing sending actor Chuck Norris after them, Right Wing Watch reported.
“I’m no fan of President [Barack] Obama’s, but he was elected president — that makes him commander-in-chief, so we need to give him full authority to do what he does,” Farenthold told host Ed Berliner, before adding, “Quite frankly, Chuck Norris would be the one to send in, not President Obama.”
Look I am the first one to admit that in his day Chuck Norris was a great martial artist in the 1960's.
The 1960's!
However that was five decades ago. After that Chuck was a really bad actor, who relied on well trained stuntmen and camera angles to make him appear to be a bad ass.
Today Norris is an elderly Bible thumper, who believes that Christianity should be taught in public schools, and that nobody can tell he is wearing a toupee.
My question is why does Blake Farenthold, who looks like the adult version of that kid who got stuck in the tube in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, hate Chuck Norris so much?
I mean the old guy is in his mid 70's now. Even stubbing his toe makes him pee a little, why would somebody want to send him to get his ass kicked, and then set on fire, in a foreign country just to embarrass the President?
Seems like a dick to me.
Is it me, or does Blake Farenthold = Alfred E. Neuman in that pic?
ReplyDeleteAlfred E. Neuman was better looking. Probably smarter, too.
DeleteFrom the neck down he looks like Chris Christie!! He has the required gop 3 chins also, too.
DeleteI think he looks like a much larger version of that diminutive actor Herve Villechaize from Fantasy Island whose most famous line was "Zee plane, boss...".
DeleteEveryone has to be remembered for something, so in this Repug's case it will be duckie-print shirts -- unless that's a pajama top. That's possible too.
Balzafiar,
DeletePyjamas, not a shirt. He was at a pyjama party fundraiser, held in a bar, and attended by skimpily-dressed young females. Yes, those duckies go all the way down to his toes. Every time I see his face, even if he is wearing a suit, I see those duckies.
Farenthold is third-generation (at least) old money/old politics, running on his name... exactly what we can expect from other political dynasties such as the Clintons and the Bushes... in future years.
I listen to Huckabee believer Norris as much as I do poopy pants Nugent and empty chair Eastwood.

ReplyDeleteSexual harassment is bad, but when the harasser looks like THIS, it makes it so much worse.
DeleteNorris is still a bad actor. He has always been a little on the slow side.
ReplyDeleteHe is a true Neanderthal.
Norris is a D-grade ham long past its expiration date.
DeleteChuckles looks as though he is wearing a girdle in that photo. Either that, or Spanx. Lousy actor, fake as can be on a par with Stephen Segal.
DeleteThe Christian Crusader president, star pupil of Jeremiah Wright, wants the power to war against ISIS anywhere on the globe. This is your Nobel Peace Prize holder. Too bad ISIS is no threat to us and they are none of our damn business. Either the Christian Crusader is a bed-wetter or he is as nuts as Bush/Cheney.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think it is a set up for the Republicans. They are in a Catch-22 IMHO. They are the ones who keep shouting "WAR, WAR". If they don't vote in favor, and something happens here, esp since they are not going to agree on DHS funding, then they can explain themselves to the general public. Personally I am not in favor of the President requesting war powers, esp after coming off the Bushie "Vietnam War" that he falsely led us into. Let the other countries seek retribution.
DeleteThe GOP just doesn't understand Obama's long game. LOL
Saddam Hussain and the Iraqui people were no threat to us, but look at the mess Dubya got us into by attacking them!!
DeleteI think half the conservatives live in Chuck Norris land and think that's America's right to just charge in before thinking. Of course, it's fun to watch fictional vigilantes kick bad axe. But, in the real world, things don't work well that way.
ReplyDeleteTelevision plays a big part in the minds of those who refuse to face reality.
Now, Breaking Bad, as fictional as it is, gives insight into the mind of how trying to do one good deed illegally can do lots of damage.
I think President Obama has wisdom beyond his years and am thankful he's not impetuous.
omg, how do these people get elected? I am from texas and frankly am embarrassed at who they have elected for years....they have to go blue after looking at the idiots that are in government there.. wow. great article, Gryphen. Your comments are priceless.
ReplyDeleteHere's both a great anagram and caption for the first photo:
ReplyDeleteNaked flab, her lot.
I think Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal would make such a cute couple. And they should both go to the M.E. and save the world.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they could take Nuggets In Pants with them. Just in case they need a bugle boy, I'm sure Rush would volunteer in their save America exceptional army.
The possibilities for this merica lovin', useless old fart, patriotic, mercenary, rambo army........wait a sec, did Blake just watch The Expendables 3?
Bugle Boy Rush? Nah. It's true that he blows, but IMHO he would be far better in a remake of the classic movie "Deliverance". He just loves being made to squeal.
DeleteLet $carah be their cheerleader, right along with them. Since she THINKS she knows how to do everything about foreign policy, let her prove her claims. Take George Will, O'Really, Santorum, Huckleberry, Lumpy McCain, Fancy Pants Lindsey also, too. They disclaim EVERYTHING the President does, yet have no suggestions for alternative measures.

Oh, great, it's the 1980s all over again.
ReplyDeleteLiberal logic. Posting "life" pictures on a personal page that isn't advertised is akin to blasting them all over the internet.
ReplyDeleteThis is the reason I have issues supporting democrats. There is no logic, no there there.
You got one thing right. There is no logic there, if by "there" you are referring to your comment.
Delete8:35 AM Is Sarah Palin your idea of logic? If so, then all of those Republican Senators who have been 'paid' by the Oil and Gas companies are your cup of tea, right?
DeleteDo you wake up each morning and drink a cup of stupid to start your day?
Awesome - yet sadly befuddled - point, 8:25am!!!!
DeleteBe sure to come back next year and favor us with your keen insights again. And if next year is too soon - and I assure you that it is - how about the year after that?
8:45 AM - you got that right! WTH is up with that first paragraph?? That's the peebot base!
Delete8:35 am, You befuddled dunce, try waking up before you start clacking away on the keyboard.
DeleteIn case you're all wondering what the troll is nattering about Bristol and her parents went to Vegas for Sarah's birthday and Bristol posted some new instagram photos of her new Louboutin shoes and Louis Vuitton purse and her parents in Vegas, on her PUBLIC instagram, troll, it's a public account, so if Bristol doesn't want it seen she should make it private.

Yes 8:35am...you DO have issues. Glad you cleared that up for us. Now, run along and take another hit off the crack pipe.
DeleteHow do creeps like this get reelected? Even with the family name, he is one freaky looking guy. For more on him, go to Talking Points Memo site today.
ReplyDeleteAugustus Gloop!
ReplyDeleteI say send in Chuck Norris, Jon Voigt, Clint Eastwood and any other right-wing celebrity saber rattler (that includes Sarah Palin)*. We could have John McCain, with Lindsay Graham as his attending batman (a la the British military) lead them in the charge against ISIS. Of course, they have to foot the bill themselves and no one will come to their rescue if they get captured.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
* I suggest, Sarah, that you leave your US flag shoes and boots, your Israel Star of David necklace and your faux-Christian belt at home.
Gryphen, how dare you pick on the fat son of Alfred E, Neuman!
ReplyDeleteOoo. Ooo!
ReplyDeleteLet's send Norris AND Ted Nugent.
And we won't pay the ransom either.
Look forward to the videos.
