How can this be??? He looks like a fine, upstanding fellow, nothing 2-3 generations of incest wouldn't produce.A Texas Republican congressman is facing allegations of sexual harassment from a former staff member.
According to Mediaite, Rep. Blake Farenthold was accused of harassing a female staffer in a lawsuit filed last Friday. On Monday, it emerged that Farenthold is the owner of the URL www.blow-me.org, a currently inactive web address.
Freshman congressman and Tea Party favorite Farenthold was accused of sexual misconduct and of creating a hostile work environment in a lawsuit filed by former staffer Lauren Greene.
Greene claims that Farenthold needed a team of staffers to accompany him to functions on Capitol Hill because of his tendency to drink too much and behave inappropriately toward women.

This country has gotten so stupid and ignorant, it's pathetic!

(53,339 posts)Congressman Blake Farenthold (R- Texas via every fast food restaurant in the state) told veterans about to lose their disability checks due to the government shutdown, that they would have to make sacrifices.
Because goodness knows that former soldiers receiving disability havent already made extreme sacrifices. For this country. To keep it free.
Let us quote the Congressman since this statement cannot be paraphrased
I feel like my mandate when I was elected was to go reduce the size of government, lower taxes, and increase freedom, and freedom isnt free, and sometimes you have to make a small sacrifice to move forward with what youre after, Farenthold said.

Farenthold's saving grace is he's too fat to strangle and you'd need a claymore to stab him.
On edit: you couldn't shoot him either. Bullets are most effective against brains and hearts, two organs he doesn't have.

I am so disgusted, I don't even have the words to express it properly.

It might actually blight my own soul to spew the venom I would like to spit at this "person".

(165 posts)The GOP thinks they are above our laws, so they rape, kill, steal, etc and they will get elected. Many of them will move from state to state to get elected to hide their background. That does work.

But at least I'm cute and adorable. He's neither.
