Juanita Jean busts the Willie Nelson bust with “Willie? Weed? Nooo…”

Willie Nelson is 77 years old. He’s producing amazing music and touring almost constantly with acts a quarter his age. He raises more money for charity than anyone else in Texas. He has a black belt in taekwondo and plays pretty good golf. He’s on his fourth wife, having pooped-out all the other ones. He’s still making movies, and he won a Grammy last year. He’ll be 78 in three months.

He is a walking advertisement for marijuana use.

Sop reported the bust – but, Juanita Jean adds this not to be missed “local color”:

There’s a story, and I don’t know if it’s true, but if it’s not, it should be. A couple of decades ago, Willie was arrested for possession in Waco. During his trial, the arresting officer took the witness stand to explain that he stopped because there was a car on the side of the road and the driver was asleep in the front seat.

Mollie Ivins must have had Texas Congressman Joe Barton in mind as he not only can’t “vote against ’em”, he apologized to ’em – proving [once again] “…politics in Texas – finest form of free entertainment ever invented”.

Nola.com reported, “Republican Rep. Joe Barton of Texas is issuing an apology — of sorts — about his apology to oil company BP“:

Barton had complained at a hearing earlier today that the Obama administration was forcing BP to set up a $20 billion “slush fund” for oil spill victims. Barton said he was ashamed of the White House’s actions — and he apologized to BP. Vice President Joe Biden called those remarks “outrageous.”

Hours after making the comments, Barton said his remarks had been “misconstrued.” He said, “I want to apologize for that misconstruction”…

For a reaction from our friends in Texas, I went to Kiss My Big Blue Butt and discovered Juanita Jean was back in the beauty shop reporting Republicans: The Party of Apology:

Our good friend Eclair put this in the comment section, but with all the comments about Joe Barton, I was afraid you’d miss it and be deprived of a great Friday treat.

Head on over here to see what else Old Whore Joe Barton has promised. Once you get there, hit refresh to get another one. Continue reading “"…if you can't drink their whiskey, screw their women, take their money, and vote against 'em anyway, you don't belong in office"”
