TX GOP candidate caught in ducky pjs with scantily clad women
Huffington Post:

Republican candidate Blake Farenthold, who is running for Texas's 27th district House seat, came under scrutiny this week when images surfaced of him out for a night on the town with women in attire leaving little to the imagination.

In the pictures, which were reportedly taken last year and published online by thecrushgirls.com, Farenthold is dressed in pajamas featuring a yellow ducky design.

We The People News called attention to the images on Thursday with a note confirming their authenticity. CrushGirls marketing director Tony Martinez tells Talking Points Memo that the pictures were not photoshopped.

Meanwhile, it didn't take long before Democrats seized on the unusual nature of the matter. The campaign of Democratic incumbent Rep. Solomon Ortiz, who Farenthold is vying to unseat, swiftly came out with a new ad featuring the congressional hopeful dressed in the duckie-clad clothes alongside women wearing much less.

1. You just can't make it up; what would be the point? They'd
surpass anything anyone could imagine.

3. Creepy
And I'm not just referring to the ducky jammies. This guy just has 'slezebol' written all over him.

4. Love the ad
I actually think the other photos of Farenthold are as effective as the magazine cover. But I wonder what is the context of the ducky pj photo? Costume party? One of those "spend a night in jail" party fundraisers?

I'd like to think this will keep him from being elected but GOP voters here look at nothing but where that name is on the ballot. Living in the heart of Texas during elections can be so depressing.

5. It's OK because it's a historical re-enactment
of an Animal House party.

11. Ah, Jesus. That's What I was Afraid Of.

Sissy Farenthold was right up there with Ann Richards and Molly Ivins in the Tough Texas Female Progressives pantheon. What a tragedy......
