Rethuglican Family Values: Baby Daddy Edition

News broke yesterday that amoral wingnut Jason "No Chin" Miller, the former campaign spokesman and transition communications director for pathological liar and con man Donald "Rump" Trump, fathered a child out of wedlock with fellow Rump campaign aide and cable channel shrieker A.J. Delgado.  Miller, who is married and whose wife was pregnant at the time of the affair, acknowledged the July birth of their son, William, saying that he and his wife were "excited to welcome William into the world and into our family." That didn't sit well with Delgado, who has been raging in a Twitter fit about Miller's statement saying, “I’m not sure what Jason means that he and his wife are excited to welcome Will. Really? News to me.” Delgado also claims that Miller lied that he was separated from his wife when they hooked up (allegedly in Las Vegas, after a night out at a strip club, no less). A Rump spokesperson lying? Whodathunkit!

Delgado should send Miller some of William's dirty diapers to remind him of their memorable tryst. Rethuglican values everyone!

Rehab Ends for Snow Nose

Freshman teabagger Congressman Trey "Snow Nose" Radel has come out of a 28-day in-patient rehab for his conviction in 2013 for misdemeanor possession of cocaine.  Snow Nose says he's ready to get back in the business of, you know, cracking down on gummint abuse and fightin' for freedumb to… uh….snort coke?

Snow Nose faces some tough times in his own state of Florida, where the State Rethuglican party has called for him to step down, as has the Rethug Governor and Voldemort impersonator Rick Scott.  For the former right-wing radio jock and local Fux personality, that's a real coke poke in the nose.

Rethuglican Family Values, Cont'd.

New Mexico Rethuglican County Commissioner Michael "Wiener" Wiener was visiting the Philippines recently -- or more accurately, visiting a notorious red light district there -- when he asked a passer by to snap his photo with some bar girls. Sadly for the appropriately named Wiener, the passer by -- a photographer -- was there documenting the sex tourism industry. When Wiener gave the photographer his e-mail address to forward the pictures, the photographer noticed that Wiener was a public official and later that he had posted the pics on his Facebook page (!).

This isn't the first time for Wiener to get his wiener in a wringer, according to the linked story in Talking Points Memo. Allegations of sexual harassment, and racist e-mails are part of Wiener's resume, too. Looks like a rising star in the misogynist Rethuglican party.

Rethug Values - Wisconsin DUI Edition

The skeezy sot pictured here, courtesy of the Columbia County Police Department (Wisconsin), is Columbia County Rethuglican Chairman Amber Hahn (or rather ex-chairman - man they move fast to bury their embarrassments). She was arrested after crashing her car -- with her three children inside -- while driving under the influence. As Wonkette points out, Hahn has been seen on Fox "News" as an anonymous "concerned citizen" railing against those darn teachers and their evil unions! She's a charmer.

REMINDER: Tomorrow is recall election day in several Wisconsin State Senate districts.

UPDATE: Dammit! Just when you think you've gotten away cleanly, political karma kicks in...

Quote of the Day

“I needed that shift, I don’t make $160,000 a year, so missing a shift means a lot to me.” [...] “It’s not a Republican issue, it’s not a Democrat issue. Our economy is suffering, everybody is suffering, work is hard to find, money doesn’t go as far as it used to. He pulls down a lot of money for his position, and in the state that our country is in right now, I don’t think it’s the time for grandstanding. I’d rather him do his job than mine.” -- Chattanooga, TN gas station employee Justin Lewis, speaking about the stunt by Rethuglican Rep. Chuck "Chucklehead" Fleischmann where he pumped gas at Lewis' station all day, apparently to call for more domestic drilling. The stunt cost Mr. Lewis a day's pay.

Well done, Chucklehead.

Wanker of the Week, With an Oliver Twist

We've got a winner! (Actually that would make him a loser in this contest.) He's Rethuglican Michigan State Sen. Bruce Casswell (the "C" is silent!). Check out why he's our choice, and why we call them "Rethuglicans."

Rethug Sex Blotter - Wisconsin Union Buster Edition

Wisconsin Rethug State Senator "Randy" Randy Hopper is one of the troglodytes currently facing a recall effort due to his support for Wisconsin Gov. Scott "Too Much Johnnie" Walker's union-busting. As a full-fledged Rethug hypocrite, randy Randy has also left his wife for a 25-year old former staffer who worked alongside (under?) him -- Ed. note: if he claims it's all because he loves Wisconsin so much and has been working so hard in its interests, it's a sure sign he's maneuvering to be Wisconsin's Newt Gingrich. The upshot of this is that randy Randy's estranged wife has joined the recall effort to remove him from office! Bwahahahaha!

Rethug Sex Blotter, Craigslist Edition

People wondering if the new Rethuglican majority in the House would bring with it a new sobriety and sense of responsibility have another indicator to add to the recent example of Rep. David Rivera (Rethug-FL): New York Rethuglican Rep. Christopher "Sexy" Lee. The married Lee has been busted sending a topless picture of himself (Warning: it's not pretty) to a young woman he contacted via the "Women Seeking Men" section of Craigslist. (He should've gone the safe route and hooked up with South Carolina Rethug Governor "Not Picky" Nikki Haley.)

What is it with these right-wing Rethugs and their double lives, cheating, lack of self-awareness, and overall dishonesty?

UPDATE: Sexy Lee resigned this evening. Hey hey hey, good bye!

As The Wasilla World Turns

There are reports that soon-to-be Winky son-in-law Levi "Big Johnson" Johnston may have impregnated his ex-girlfriend, Lanesia Garcia, while separated from Winky's daughter, Bristol, who is said to be heartbroken at the news of Big Johnson's "accomplishment." Paternity tests are being conducted, since Garcia (dang them Meskin aliens!) apparently slept with three different guys the week that she likely became pregnant. . .classy!! We're taking bets that Big Johnson's "little swimmers" got there first.

We can't blame Big Johnson for his randy behavior. What is there to do in Wasilla those cold winter nights besides boinking and consuming the meth that your family produces?

Rethug Hypocrisy Blotter

Eight-term family values Rethug Congressman Mark Souder announced his resignation today following disclosure of an affair with a part-time staff member. Souder, a leading proponent of teaching abstinence (!), was facing a rematch of his 2008 race, and was thought to be among a handful of vulnerable Rethugs running for reelection. Souder and his wife of 36 years have three grown children and two grandchildren. Here's a vid of Souder -- BTW, that's his mistress doing the interview!

Rethuglican Family Values, Cont'd.

Think Progress has the details of the story of Rethuglican State Senator Michael "Bend It" Bennett, who was observed watching porn on his State-issued laptop during a debate on an anti-choice bill in the Florida Senate. When figuratively caught with his pants down, Bend It says that the porn was in an e-mail sent from a former female colleague.

For decades now, the Rethuglican / New Confederate Party has portrayed itself as the party of strict morality and probity. This is a small reminder that it's not, and really never has been. It's also another small reminder that one political party actually takes debating issues and governing seriously, and it's not the Rethuglican / New Confederate Party.
