A Democrat Wart Deep in the Heart of Texas
If ever there existed a better example of shooting one’s self in the foot than what Rosemary Lehmberg, the Democrat district attorney of Travis County, Texas, did over this weekend, I cannot recall it in my seven decades. We are aware that in facing the coming election the Democrat party is becoming frantic but we didn’t think it had advanced to the need for self-immolation.
But, liar, liar, set herself on fire is precisely what that desperate Democrat did when her special prosecutor indicted Texas governor, Rick Perry, for carrying out his constitutionally-determined, gubernatorial responsibilities. From the moment the indictment was announced, the Internet was treated to devastating video recordings of the drunken driving arrest in Austin last year of the self-same Rosemary Lehmberg, stopped by her own cops after weaving in a potentially deadly manner into oncoming traffic as well as the lane reserved for particularly vulnerable bicyclists. On the front seat next to Rosemary was a partially consumed bottle of vodka, one of the dozens making up the 23 gallons she has reportedly consumed in the past 15 months.
Rosie was, in the vernacular, sh*t-faced, blowing a breathalyzer at almost three times the legal limit. And now, thanks to the miracle of the world-wide web, the whole planet is availed of the opportunity to witness Rosie’s self-destructive behavior upon initial apprehension, as well as her aggressive and threatening responses to being treated by authorities as what she clearly was, a mean, stubborn, uncooperative drunk operating a motor vehicle under such self-impairment as to present a clear and present danger to the citizens she is sworn to protect and serve.
Go here if you haven’t already and see what the immature but staunch Democrat majority in Travis County thinks is a suitable representative of their party to enforce their laws. This gross, vulgar creature could be a poster child for what the Democrat party has become: a power-hungry political vulture that has completely lost sight of what the once great and respectable Democrat Party of Texas at one time stood for. Their big gun to knock Rick Perry out of the 2016 presidential campaign is this slovenly, decadent, drunken, district attorney who is apparently shameless, as she had to know these videos, up to now mostly confined to Texas, would go viral.
Democrats enjoy an island of influence in the otherwise red, Republican Texas, in Travis County, home of the Texas capital, for one reason and one reason only, the University of Texas and its radicalized campus that festers as some sort of malignant growth deep in the heart of Texas. It’s not as lethal as in a melanoma, but more like an annoying, unsightly wart. Look at those videos of Rosemary Lehmberg, the very best the Democrats have to offer in their fight against Texas Republicans, and tell me I’m wrong in believing that this woman is exactly that, an extremely annoying, but ultimately harmless political wart Deep in the Heart of Texas. Rosie, you just got your fifteen minutes of fame and, Sweetie, hate to tell ya, they ain’t pretty.
But then again, considering that you’re a Democrat, you just could be presidential material…

I just wanted to be FIRST!
ROFLOL!!!
Heh! Heh! Heh!
Yuk! Yuk!
Might wanna check that “go here” link, boss.
And dammit if I can’t delete posts or I’d delete my comment above since it’s been fixed.
Yes, my primary complaint concerning this web site’s format, is that posted comments can’t be edited or deleted by the folks who post the comments.
Isn’t there some way to fix that?
If people could delete or edit their comments, we never would have had as much as we did last summer with Media Representative from the Reston office of All Points Logistics. Good times? No, great times!
Democrats, your criminalization of political differences crosses the line between America and tyrannical behavior like third-world dictatorships and the Soviet Union (not to mention you favorite hellhole, Chicago, today) that our founders created our nation to get away from… you’re now, officially, un-American and have zilch legitimacy.
The problem with this is that there is no universal mindset -especially like this!- amongst ‘Democrats’. Let’s not broadly dismiss, oh, roughly half the country as un-American when most people don’t support this.
Remember the Tea Party guy who believed his opponent was dead and he was campaigning against a man-made replacement or a look-alike? It irritates me to no end when liberal-leaning sites take those guys out, trot them in front of their readers and say, “See? Tea Party types! Ha, the fools!”.
As Americans, I like to think we’re capable of differentiating between power-tripping and crazy outliers and the various underlying principles of each group.

I have not yet encountered a democrat who does not support what is being done against Perry. Not saying they don’t exist, but I have not encountered any. The democrats that I know hate Perry because of his stance on abortion and they hate him because of his hair (not necessarily in that order). They seem to be enthusiastic about going after Perry by any means necessary.
What gets me is the hypocrisy over “coercion”. I have not seen ANY democrat fault Obama for his “I have a pen and I’m not afraid to use it” rhetoric. As I said in another post, I think a strong case can be made that “I have a pen” is morally equivalent to “I have a gun”.
I’m not surprised by that – not in the early moments when all this happened, anyway. It’s -easy- to hate people from the other side of the spectrum, and to think everything they do is evil, corrupt, etc. So, an indictment against Perry? It’s pretty natural there will be celebrations before the facts are in – after all, the ‘facts’ are he was indicted, right?
It’s only now, as the OTHER ‘facts’ are coming out – the full story, really – that people on both sides are no longer being reactionary based on their politics, but are starting to examine things on their own merits. Alan Dershowitz made big news by talking about how crazy these charges are. The details on the DA are coming also opening peoples’ eyes. Initial reactions are always going to be instinctive; reasoned reactions come later and have been pretty skeptical of the charges. Even Axelrod said it’s sketchy: https://twitter.com/davidaxelrod/status/500634429367533568
And while I lean Democratic, I fault Obama for countless things. I’m not familiar with this rhetoric, but I care less about what he says and more about what he does (or doesn’t do). I apply that same principle to other Presidents, too.
At any rate, if you wish to count me as a Democrat (as I did vote for Obama), now you have encountered at least 1 who thinks this is nonsense, and 2 if you count Axelrod, 3 if we include Dershowitz. Go meet some others and you’ll find there’s pretty wide agreement, unless you go to the utter nutballs who vote Democratic.

Now you can say you are familiar with his rhetoric.
Yet another drunk, who happens to be a Democratic District Attorney, more concerned with the press and her career than killing some family in an oncoming lane or some bicyclist out on the highway. Typical.
Memo to my liberal friends: No, this was not a criminal act, nor is Perry a criminal, but only upon conviction. Then again, you already have convicted him, haven’t you? Forget the fact the level of evidence required for a grand jury to hand down an indictment is pathetically low.
And no, Clinton is NOT an example of Republicans doing the same. Clinton actually lied and broke the law. And no, I doubt you can even find an example of a Republican DA indicting a Democrat politician for purely partisan reasons.
Having resided in Travis Country from 1995-2013, Rosemary is just following in the footsteos of her “esteemed” predecessor, Ronnie Earle. Of course, for someone heading the Public Integrity Unit, getting shitface hammered and then threating the deputies at the jail, demanding that they call the sheriff and saying “it was only 2 glasses of wine” makes her qualified to be the Democrat candidate for Attorney General. Maybe she can help Wendy Davis turn Texas blue!!!!
As I recall, it took Ronnie Earle three grand juries before he got an indictment on Tom Delay (later [finally] exonerated). This seems to have happened much faster so it seems that practice has helped in the Travis County DA’s office. Too bad we can’t relocate the Longhorns main campus to someplace like, I don’t know, Pecos.
Don’t forget about Kay Bailey Hutchison. Earle had 2 indictments against her thrown out, got a third grand jury indictment against her, declined to proceed with the case when the judge did not rule on the admissibility of evidence in pretrial…then on the day she was acquitted, the son of a bitch stood on the courthouse steps in front of the cameras assured everyone that KBH was guilty.
There must be something in the water that the Democratic Party is drinking.
There is. One thing I saw today is all the flights Bush took between DC and Crawford cost $20 million in 8 years.
Of course, the fact Bush has been out of office for going on six years and the fact Obama can blow more on ONE Hawaii trip matters not a whit to these mouth breathers.
Something in the water besides vodka you mean?
Given the consumption mentioned below – what water?
She’s also in charge of the Ethics Commission. That’s what started the whole mess – her refusal to do the ethical thing and step down from that position after her bust. Who needs the political comedy from DC when I’ve got it right here at home…
Go Spurs!
Integrity unit, not ethics commission-my bad. Same thing…
She must still be drunk if she for one minute thinks that nobody recognizes this for the blatant political stunt that it is.
She is certifiable if the evidence I have seen thus far is what she is really thinking she will convict with.
Gunny, she may stay drunk. That 23 gallon figure is from one liquor store. I found a site yesterday stating that the police investigation showed that she spreads her purchases among several liquor stores to keep anyone from discovering how much she truly consumes.
When I was writing the piece I couldn’t find that site again for a hyperlink. It was probably taken down by her liberal pals.
The broad is a lush.
23 gallons of vodka from one freaking store in 15 months – and she shops at multiple places?
Hell, the amount from that alone works out to well over 6 oz of vodka daily – or over 4 shots daily. I shudder to think what she’s drinking if she’s buying even half that much again in aggregate.
With that kind of daily alcohol consumption, “lush” is putting it mildly. “Liver transplant candidate” is more like it.
This look familiar, Poetrooper? (smile)

Field Sobriety Test, Dash Cam Goodness:
This is one of those moments when it’s embarrassing say I was born in Denton, but on the other hand, I don’t live there, so I can do the gigglesnort thing all I want to.
And I am completely mystified AS TO the indictment of Rick Perry, which appears to be nothing more than an adolescent, idiotic reaction at being told by the DA that she was unfit for a public job. He could have been a helluva lot rougher on her than he was, so her embarrassing, spiteful, childish response, and her drunk-ass videos are getting nothing but a slow, loud clap from me, plus this: :p 😛 😛
I can’t write worth a flip today.
That should be ‘reaction BY the DA AT being told that she was unfit’.
Sorry. My bad.
Truly priceless video.
Slime perry should be indited for accessary to murder of the wrongful execution of cameron willingham and obstruction of justice for sequestering a letter where the jail cell witness say he made up confession to get a lighter sentence at behest of prosecutor ;but didn’t want innocent man to die. Scum perry then removed board members looking into this wrongful death and replaced them with his stooges who closed investigation. You can look it up.
Yeah, we can look it up. And we’ll find what you say is bogus bullsh!t – like always.
Please geaux fjarnykait yerzelf.
No refutation of any facts I brought up because its all true and you know it!
Yeah, right.
It’s your claim – so please, prove me wrong. Go ahead and post a link substantiating your claim.
You won’t, though. I’m guessing it’s because you can’t.
Besides, if true it would break your perfect record of posting nothing but errors (intentional or otherwise) and gross distortions of reality in your comments here.
Once again, you’re an idiot and nothing you say is true. Go fuck yourself.
As usual, VWPissbucket, you’re full of shit, GO DEPORT YOURSELF!!
VWPussy, unless your a resident of the great state of Texas, which I doubt. You can just shut your cake hole cause frankly I don’t give two rat farts about you opinion in this matter. Now move along before someone shoves a long horn up your fifth contact point.
A Long horn up his Push-up Muscle? That would be painful! The fourth point of contact is the Buttocks. I think that you were looking for!
What facts? Who can make out anything in that semi-literate garbage?
Here’s a English exercise for you. Maybe it will help.
G_ F_CK Y__RS_LF.
Would you like to buy a vowel?
I’m looking forward to seeing which Medical School will be the high bidder for her liver when she assumes room temperature. I see VWP still hasn’t figured out spell check or gotten a Thesaurus.
This’ll break someone’s heart – the judge isn’t issuing an arrest warrant.
The liberal San Antonio Express-News has come out against the indictment:
http://www.mysanantonio.com/opinion/editorials/article/Perry-s-veto-was-political-not-criminal-5694314.php
I predict this never makes it to trial.
It’s getting more obvious by the hour that Ms. Limburger (*OOPS*, Lehmberg) has torpedoed and sank her own career with this stunt of hers!
You should see the comments on her Facebook page….not complementary. To be fair though, I do not know how much of a part she played in indicting Perry. The special prosecutor is the one who took it to the grand jury and he was appointed because of a “watchdog group” that didn’t like Perry’s veto. In any event, the bitch needs to resign… yesterday.
Funny that the author should refer to the University of Texas as a “malignant growth”. Arkansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Texas A&M, and Missouri thought so as well, which is why all five schools left conferences that Texas was in…in that order. It’s also why the ACC, PAC 12, and Big Ten all soundly rejected Texas’ attempt to move conferences in 2011 and 2012.
