I could make a joke about box turtles
It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle. But that does not mean it is right…. Now you must raise your children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife.
To those of us who live here in the Great State of Texas, it should come as no surprise that our two US Senators are little more than corrupt Republican thugs. Kay Bailey Hutchison, though, looks like a MENSA member compared to former DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener John Cornyn (#233, 4.6.05). After all, not even Hutchison, demagogue that she may be, has compared gay marriage to interspecies sex with a box turtle.
I know…WTF??? Don’t get me started….
Now, though, Cornyn’s office has attempted to silence mi compadre Sean-Paul Kelley. Apparently, someone forgot to tell these jack-booted thugs that free speech is still a constitutionally-guaranteed right, despite the best efforts of the Bush Administration to the contrary. These trolls also forgot the first rule of public relations, which, roughly translated, states that an opinion expressed on an obscure (sorry, Sean-Paul…) radio station in San Antonio will disappear into the void IF YOU SIMPLY IGNORE IT. If a Liberal falls in the forest, and no Republican is around to hear it, does he even make a sound? Well, yes…if you’re John Cornyn and his staff of merry mischief makers….
[D]uring a recent radio show I took Senator “Box Turtle” Cornyn and his office to task for being such whiny-babies. They called the station and complained that if I were going to have a liberal on to talk about possible Ralph Reed, Tom DeLay, Abramoff like corruption linked to John Cornyn then they needed to be on the air during or afterwards to refute the charges, equal time and all that. (Like Rush Limbaugh ever gave Bill or Hillary equal time!)
“Yeah, right,” I said on the air. And then continued to criticize Senator “Box Turtle” Cornyn, deservedly so, for the next 20 minutes.
Well, they started up again, called the station and made a kind of wink-wink-nudge-nudge implied threat to pull access not only for the guy I guest host for, but the whole station. Pretty sad operation in my book. I recognize they don’t want negative press. But you can’t own the press and then complain that it’s the “Liberal Media‚Äö√묢” that’s keeping you down. I didn’t realize someone could be a wimp and a bully at the same time but Cornyn’s people have succeeded. They’re wimps because they can’t handle a little criticism and they are bullies by throwing their weight around trying to prevent it.
Well, of course…’cuz that’s what fools and bullies do, eh? If they’d just ignored Sean-Paul, then no one would have been the wiser. Now, because of their heavy-handed thuggery, Sean-Paul has garnered all sorts of free publicity…and I, for one, think it’s about damn time.
Jeez, these thugs really ARE that stupid, aren’t they? Yes, it would seem that they truly are….
