Perhaps, but I don’t think Bush asked a crowd of kids to point to the dumbest among them…
Governor LePage of Maine: “Out of state heroin dealers named D-Money, Smoothie and Shifty are coming into the state to sell their heroin and impregnate white girls.”
Clever, Rick. Make shit up, post it in blue ink and get people thinking its something some cretinous crudball actually said. Using LePage was a wise choice, but not even that lump of gristle would ever actually say anything so venomous.
Still, nice try! Really, almost fell for it!
The fuck are you babbling about?
I hear the sound of a sonic whoosh…
'luci want big boom.
No, that was the sound of a white girl and her smack dealer . . . negotiating a transaction. It’s easy to get them confused.
As Eugene V. Debs is my witness, I was totally sure he’d catch on that I was kidding. I swear!
We should have a “within three posts” rule, where if you post something false as a whoosh, you have to return and say “Whoosh!”
For people like me who otherwise will go to bed confused (and then I wake my wife up because I’m muttering in my sleep: “Was 'luci lying about lying about a liar lying…?” And then my wife smacks me awake: “Okay, bub. For the third time this week. Who’s Lucy?”)
Will totally back you. Like that tech guy? Chick tells him that her boyfriend explained all the porn on his browser history by saying that it was a computer virus, and the tech guy swears yeah, happens all the time…
Those wacky Germans have beat you to that thought.
One of our Dopers knew one of those “crazy Germans” (can’t remember which). Not a happy thread to read. I can’t find it right now, but I’m sure someone else can.
Republican Governor LePage, of Maine:
“These are guys with the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty, these types of guys, they come from Connecticut and New York, they come up here, they sell their heroin, they go back home,” the 67-year old governor told the audience. “Incidentally, half the time they impregnate a young, white girl before they leave, which is a real sad thing because then we have another issue we have to deal with down the road.”
That’s not a dog whistle anymore…
My favorite quote from that article about LePage comes from his communications director:
:dubious:
Except when he specifically talks about white girls.
How is his impeachment coming? I haven’t heard that much from crazy Lepage Lately
It doesn’t mention this most recent…embarrassment. Which suggests that this much was already in the works* before* he opened his cowpie hole.
Gotta ask. Does this really rise to level of impeachment? Is this a crime?
It’s a dick move, yes. But criminal?
The biggest thing he did was to pressure a school not to hire the Speaker of the State Assembly (a political enemy) by threatening to withhold state funds from the school if they hired him.
