1. It's important that Texas keeps these morons front and center.

Texas is growing too quickly, and they need every sort of repellent they can find.

[TheCowsCameHome]

35. Wide angle lenses don't come that big

I mean we're talkin' some serious width here if'n we line 'em up side by side.

[shenmue]

2. WTF

Somebody get this man some help.

[underpants]

3. What about that revered Muslim monument in Texas?

The ALLAHmo?

[awoke_in_2003]

14. I hear there's a bike in the basement. nt

[underpants]

15. Okay I had to google that

Madam Ruby!!!

[awoke_in_2003]

25. Because of that movie

I cannot hear Tequila without laughing. That dance was a thing of insanity.

[Liberalagogo]

19. As we all know....

RIP Jan Hooks.

[awoke_in_2003]

24. Oh no

36. Far too young. nt

[MADem]

56. You have to suffer through a commercial, but this clip is one of my favorites...

http://www.hulu.com/watch/698984

[Liberalagogo]

61. Thanks for that

It's up there with Steve Martin and Gilda Radner's "Dancing in the Dark". Sadly I can find no clip.

What's even sadder about your clip, is Phil Hartman and his untimely demise.

Thanks again. Wonderful talented people.....Gilda, Phil, and Jan.

[awoke_in_2003]

27. I am going to try this one day

https://m.

[ybbor]

54. Love this!

^^

[ybbor]

53. "Where's the basement?"

https://m.

Jan Hooks, may she rest in peace!

[daleanime]

4. OK, now this one.....

needs a poster.

[SoapBox]

5. Hey Mr. Nut...

Explain why the gub'ment hate'n Pukes and Baggers now want help from those Feds!

[Lithos]

6. Maybe on to something

Lots of people whose Gawd is represented by an Elephant standing on a pile of gold and money and whose disciples are a family of Faux's who speak to them on a glowing box.

[hibbing]

7. That explains the flooding, but what caused whatever that is on your head? n/t

[erronis]

31. Or what explained what is in his head... It's toxic.

[Myrina]

8. ... and it solved the state's drought problem, so, you're welcome.

Assface.

[Moostache]

9. I'm pretty sure its NOT the gay Texan witches...

but it just MIGHT be the closeted homophobic Christian preachers!

I know some people would like to shut these clowns up, but I see the data on religious affiliation and age groups and I say "keep talking gramps, its working as well as I could ever hope!" Another couple generations of these idiots hosting their aural circle jerks on the radiowaves and they will be eliminated via attrition as the old folks who love to hear him and his ilk blather all die off.

The fate of the GOP and the fate of the religious evangelicals is one and the same - your ideas are static and dying and so too are all of you who hold them dear. Good night and goodbye to them all!

[d_legendary1]

10. The sad part is that he has a radio show

which means someone is listening and taking him seriously.

[Plucketeer]

16. Spot on...

This idjit would be crowing from a street corner if it weren't for his fan base that keeps him facing a mic. Fan base->

[HassleCat]

64. I Still Remember

When I was about 12 years old, I tuned in one of those 50,000 watt stations from the south on a Sunday night. I thought it was a comedy sketch of some guy screaming about hell fire and eternal torment and all that. Then it went on. And on. And on. I figured out this guy was serious, and I was fascinated. I listened to him, and the guy who followed him, until radio propagation finally went bad and the signal faded away. I asked my friends about this, and none of them had ever heard of such a thing, except a couple kids who admitted they snuck up and listened to the Pentacostals speaking in tongues. Yes, people take this stuff seriously in certain places. They believe the Lord will punish them here on earth for the bad things they do. Oddly, they don't think individual bad persons are punished for specific bad deeds. Instead, they believe God brings down floods and fire and pestilence on the entire community for allowing lesbian witches to practice among them.

[skypilot]

11. Well, SOMEONE had to say it.

I'm surprised they held out this long.

[matt819]

12. Well, if you're going to look for a supernatural explanation . . .

Anything is possible.

Could be the the rise of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Could be the flying spaghetti monster is displeased.

But those of us firmly rooted in the reality-based universe look for science-based explanations that are, well, sane. Silly us.

[PatrickforO]

13. Nothing to do here really but laugh...

[Lizzie Poppet]

17. Crap! They're on to us!

Nobody better tell 'em about the weed...

[workinclasszero]

18. It couldn't be all those reich wing false Christian teahaddist dominunist Ayn Rand worshiping

aholes that go to church every Sunday and grind their boot heels into the poor, the sick and old 24/7/365 could it?

Naw its got to be all the gay witches in Texas, yeah thats it!

[gademocrat7]

20. Pathetic

[hifiguy]

21. Are there no lunatic asylums?

Crazier than a needle-dicked bugfucker.

[bvar22]

22. They said the same things about the drowning of New Orleans.

What they didn't know was that the only places that stayed High & Dry was the:
*Faubourg Marigny-

*Upper Esplanade Ave

*The French Quarter.

[hifiguy]

47. After 9/11, too.

Weren't Prat Robertson and Tub O'Shit Falwell saying that was because of teh gay and abortion too?

[herding cats]

23. OMG! That's too funny!

The crazy knows no bounds.

[AlinPA]

26. The GOP has gone completely nuts with this Bible stuff.

[Bucky]

28. It's true! Bastrop County is a notorious center for occult and homosexual practices

[Kablooie]

29. They must miss the 1200's when this kind of thinking was mainstream.

And they are doing their best to take America back to those days.

[AlbertCat]

30. Yeah yeah.... this again.

Religion is ridiculous.

[Initech]

32. Dude is seriously obsessed with gay people.

I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he has a huge stash of gay porn on his hard drive.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

38. Come to think of it, I've got someone's backup around here somewhere.

[backscatter712]

44. Or he may get caught in an act of Duggary... n/t

[Initech]

55. Ah could have!

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

34. He stole Pat Robertson's schtick!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

37. Wasn't that an episode of "True Blood"?

[gregcrawford]

39. As scary as this idiot may be...

... what's infinitely more terrifying is the legions of inbred, brain-dead Teabaggers that actually BELIEVE him!

[hifiguy]

48. Which suggests an interesting question about cause and effect

Does religion turn people into idiots or do idiots just gravitate to religion? Could be both?

Sounds like a question for a master's thesis or PhD dissertation in sociology or psychology to me.

[gregcrawford]

57. Chicken and egg? Snake eating its tail? Such a conundrum...

[LeftishBrit]

40. Don't know why RW nutjobs everywhere blame floods on teh gay...

My own county of Oxfordshire is subject to floods; and, while I don't know of anyone who's blamed them on witchcraft, certain UKIP nutters have been all too keen to blame them on the Cameron government legislating same-sex marriage (one of the few reasonable things it's done):

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-25800285

He was supported in this by former UKIP parliamentary candidate Julia Gasper (whose homophobia turned out to be too extreme even for UKIP; she is now a member of the far-right English Democrats).

Actually Oxfordshire had its worst floods in 2007, BEFORE same-sex marriage was legislated; so I don't know how the nutters explain that!

[turbinetree]

41. And on top of

all this, he his making money off of this hypocrisy and the twits that following him are becoming more like this twit.
His believers have no common sense---------they do not realize that they are not allowed to worship a idol-------because he makes himself out to be a idol.

He really needs to put on a tin foil hat to match his bigotry

[MADem]

42. Oh, so THAT's it???? Damn, CALIFORNIA--get ON that!!!!!!!!

Import a bunch of gay Texan witches, tout suite!!!!!!!! Give them an all-expense trip to LALA LAND!!! Put them up in the finest hotels, with a free weekend pass to Disneyland!!!

If that doesn't solve the drought problem, nothing will!!!!!

[BlueJazz]

43. Great...just great. Now they're on to our plan.

[hifiguy]

49. The blue goose is in the nest.

Repeat, the blue goose is in the nest.

Your loving son

Queen Victoria.

[Throckmorton]

50. ok, and I will go tell aunt rhody

That she's really uncle Fred.

[Bartlet]

45. Funny that he's

right in the middle of the flood zone...could it be that he's a homosexual witch?

[niyad]

46. hey, bri-bri, if witches were as powerful as you seem to fear, we would have

cleansed the world of its hatred and bigotry and ignorance and patriarchy and misogyny and destruction of our Mother a lonnnnnnnng time ago.

[Half-Century Man]

51. I wonder if it occurred to Helmet Hair

That maybe G*D's trying to take out the Haters and Homophobes in Texas.

[47of74]

58. It usually doesn't.

All these reich wingers, Robertson, Fischer, et al don't stop to consider that maybe the Almighty is not on their side and it makes them look even more stupid than usual.

[YOHABLO]

52. How about Texas is a dry state and when they get that much rain, a consequence is flooding ..jackass

[erpowers]

59. Only Thing That Surprises Me

The only thing that surprises me about this story is that it took this long for him, or anyone else that agrees with him to make this statement. On the day that the floods were first reported I thought about starting a post saying that I was sad that some of the right would try to blame the whole thing on Houston Mayor Annise Parker.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

60. Right wingers' IQ must be very low

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/the-hot-button/study-links-low-intelligence-with-right-wing-beliefs/article543361/

[WestSeattle2]

62. That hair says it all! LOL - if that isn't a televangelist mop, I don't what is. Ugh.

[HassleCat]

63. Not even one

I guess the Lord will not tolerate even one lesbian Wiccan. Because that's about how many there are in Texas. Question for those who claim to know God's plan: Would it better or worse if she were bi?

[Cha]

65. "Who's talking about "supernatural" except this whack job?

[backscatter712]

66. Let me get this straight...

Ireland votes for marriage equality, and they get rainbows.

Texas's legislature votes to cock-block marriage equality, and they get floods.

Because God is punishing Texas for tolerating teh gay.

Makes sense to me!

[pinto]

67. Just got home to CA from Austin. All I saw were people looking to get home or to higher ground.

Missed the occult, witchcraft and (gasp!) homosexual embraces.

[yonder]

68. Thankfully,

Idaho lost Mr. Fischer many years ago. Where he wound up, I don't remember.Texas? Our stage must have been a bit small for his over-sized hair, hats and opinions.

[jmowreader]

69. I thought New Orleans DIDN'T flood this time!
