This is a sexy Texas cow prostitute.Ha ha, Texas. Once this state secedes, where will the rest of America turn for laffs? (Answer: Oklahoma.) A senior strategist for Governor Rick Perry likened a more inclusive national Republican Party to a “whorehouse,” and all the GOP ladies in Texas just went nuts.

Apparently it is an insult of some sort, to use the word “whorehouse” in a sentence like this:

[Consultant David Carney] said he agreed the Republican Party needed to attract new voters. But, he added, “that doesn’t mean you take your principles and throw them out the door and become a whorehouse and let anybody in who wants to come in, regardless.”

So all the supporters of Kay Bailey Hutchison, Perry’s most formidable primary opponent and only as much of a whore as any other senator from Texas, found this offensive and complained.

Former Republican National Committee member Denise McNamara of Dallas led a group of GOP women from Dallas, Houston and elsewhere demanding that Perry apologize for and repudiate the comment.

“As businesswomen, community leaders and mothers, it is always concerning and disheartening when we see people resort to behavior aimed at belittling women. Therefore, you cannot imagine how appalling it was to see your campaign’s chief strategist liken our Senior Senator’s primary campaign to ‘opening the doors of a whorehouse,’” they wrote in a letter to Perry on Tuesday.

Perry of course said that basically the guy wasn’t talking about Texas, and he wasn’t even speaking for Perry, but whatever, the guy did say “whore.” That is just not very cool.

Plus, the GOP is really better described as a gay bathhouse than a brothel. Semantics!

H. Ross Perot knows what those GOP words mean!

Besides, Texans ain’t like reg’lar Johns. After they f***s ya in the a**, they charge you!

if the GOP were a gay bathhouse, i would be a log cabin republican. gawd, just uttering those words left a bad taste in my mouth.

SayItWithWookies May 21, 2009 at 12:25 pm

The best little whorehouse is Texas.

Ummmm . . . sexy cow prostitute. (Six whore diamonds.)

GOP sez: “Fuck you US America. Who needs to attract you lousy ungrateful bastards, um, majority of voters in a representative democracy anyway?”

RoscoePColtraine May 21, 2009 at 12:29 pm

So does this mean whores are good, or bad? I always thought they were a quick sure-fire way to get laid when you want some ass. Like, an hour ago.

Rick Perry will defend the honor of the state (Republic) of Texas. It is indeed a whorehouse and not a gay bathhouse — it is not anything gay at all, ask anybody, it has a girlfriend in Canada. Think of the children!

Scarab May 21, 2009 at 12:36 pm

Carney apologized saying, “I should have said a ‘non-restricted neighborhood that lets anybody in who wants to come in, regardless’. You know, like blacks, Jews, gays, etc.”
The rest of the Texas GOP immediately understood and the controversy ended.

queeraselvis v 2.0 May 21, 2009 at 12:37 pm

“Unfortunately for Texas Republicans, Rick Perry and his spokesman are utilizing the same divisive, non-substantive rhetoric that fueled huge losses in 2006 and 2008 for Republicans in Texas and nationally,” said Hutchison spokesman Hans Klingler.

Um, no. That would be your former Howdy Doody dumbshit of a governor turned Grand Poobah of Dumassitude president. Also. Oh, and no whore diamonds for you. As well. Moreover.

germansteel May 21, 2009 at 12:37 pm

Suggesting whores are comparable to Republicans is an insult to whores everywhere. Also.

Servo May 21, 2009 at 12:39 pm

Good thing he didn’t mention lipstick.

I nominate Conan O’Brien’s general term for the filler material between New York and California, “Dumfukistan,” to be henceforward used for Texas alone. Who seconds?

Jim Kunstler refers to it as the Moron Crescent. It starts in Appalachia, curves down through the Bible Belt, and extends a little beyond Utah.

Most whores have much much higher standards than your average Republican.

We must keep the Republican Party pure as rich, white snow until there is no one left but you and me, and I have doubts about you.

The GOP is not a whorehouse, it’s a public restoom stall in the airport of a cold northern state that wishes to remain nameless…

bobwurst May 21, 2009 at 1:10 pm

And wahat kind of a sick fetish must one have to pay for sex with Kay Bailey Hutchenson?

x111e7thst May 21, 2009 at 1:16 pm

Will no whore rise up to protest this coflation of the GOP with his/her place of business?

Serolf Divad May 21, 2009 at 1:23 pm

“that doesn’t mean you take your principles and throw them out the door and become a whorehouse and let anybody in who wants to come in, regardless.”

So is this the new GOP strategy? Since no one wants to be a Republican any more you turn it into an exclusive “membership only” club in hopes that people will start to want to join again just because it’s so hard to get in?

S.Luggo May 21, 2009 at 1:26 pm

Carney meant to say lepper colony, not whorehouse. Take that, Mrs. Kay Bailey Prostitute.

Crank Tango May 21, 2009 at 1:29 pm

[re=322205]bobwurst[/re]: i think it’s more like a bathroom stall inside a closet. Ladies are welcome, but they better have adam’s apples! Also a “negro” or two may be tolerated, but not the scarey kind, just the izzle shizzle keeping it jiggy fresh kind. And the kind that stand by the sink, serving a purpose, a la michael “steele”.
you know, stalin was russian for man of steel or some shit like that. therefore obama is stalin. also.

That means that the coastal areas of the Carolinas and Georgia, as well as the whole peninsula of Florida, aren’t included in the Moron Crescent. That can’t be right. Perhaps Florida is so bad that it’s classed entirely separately?

Isn’t it time for an off-Broadway revival of the Best Little WHorehouse in Texas?

Larry McAwful May 21, 2009 at 1:37 pm

So the Republicans are taking the sleazy tactics that they used to use on Democrats and using them on each other? Obviously this is good karma for me, who had to put up with depressing news of Republican political advances and political victories for years. Because I have suffered so, we all benefit.

Pardon me, my solipsism is showing.

Lionel Hutz Esq. May 21, 2009 at 3:00 pm

Sara, he knew what he was saying. He is in favor of it being a gay bathhouse, full of hot, steamy men. But if you add women, it is just a whorehouse.

Canuckledragger May 21, 2009 at 3:21 pm

Wow, that Michael “Call Me Lexington” Steele is delivering on his promise to change the Republican Party. Now the GOP will no longer include whores?

Next thing you know, Lex Steele will ban an even lower life form from the GOP: lobbyists.

FormerDCite May 21, 2009 at 3:59 pm

They are like whores. After doing business with the GOP you feel dirty and it takes forever to get rid of the crabs. For that I recommend Dr. Steele’s cure for crabs: Shave one of your balls, then set fire to the hairy side, as the crabs come running out of the brush, smash them with a 8oz claw hammer. Cures you good.
