OH, JOY…TOP OF ANOTHER BAD LIST
From the Associated Press today…
LYING LIARS AND THE LIES THEY TELL
If there’s a more pathetic figure in Carson City these days
than Assemblyman Pat “The Appeaser”
Hickey, I’d love to know who it is.
After last year’s stunning GOP takeover of the Assembly,
Hickey believed he was a shoo-in to be Speaker for the 2015 session. Instead, he was ousted from his leadership
position by his colleagues thanks in large part to the work of two conservatives
who were unafraid of pointing out that the king was wearing no clothes and had
no principles…
Chuck Muth and
Assemblywoman Michele Fiore.
Hickey has been kicked to the curb and relegated to behind
the back-bench in this legislative session…likely his last. Which explains why he continues to lash out
at those responsible for deposing him in his blog while basking in the glow of
lionization by Nevada’s #2 liberal blogger-with-a-taxpayer-
On Hickey’s blog Wednesday morning, The Man Who Would Not Be
King claimed that after an admittedly brash floor rebuke of fellow
Assemblywoman Chris “Let’s Make a Deal”
Edwards Tuesday night…
Hickey went on to claim that Fiore has been “sending signals
through the Governor’s staff that she would be willing to drop her opposition
to any and all taxes in exchange for the passage of her numerous gun bills.”
Only…
It never happened.
Hickey made it up.
The whole thing. This wasn’t embellishment. It wasn’t even poetic license. It was an out-and-out lie.
Ralston, of course – perpetually in-Fiore-ated by the “conservative
firebrand” - bought Hickey’s lies hook, line and sinker. He got “punked.”
Nevertheless, after discovering that Hickey did, in fact, lie
about the whole thing, Jonny Boy tried to save face by twit-tweeting that the
lying blog post was “satirical.”
No it wasn’t. It was,
in Fiore’s words, “a big fat lie.”
But that’s not just what Fiore is saying. It’s what the Governor himself is saying. Sean
Whaley of the Las Vegas Review-Journal tweeted the following Wednesday
afternoon…
Did Hickey really think he could get away with such a
giga-whopper?
Just as pathetically, Hickey also took after yours truly in
the same blog post, referring to me as “the state’s biggest rumor-monger”
(though not a maggot!) before going on to spread the rumor that Sen. Harry Reid has funded my efforts to
oust RINOs from the Nevada Legislature.
Another bare-naked lie.
However, to be fair and in the interest of full disclosure,
if Sen. Reid ever DID offer me money to fund a conservative candidate against
the lyin’, pot-smokin’, draft-dodgin’ Gumby Republican, I’d take it in a
heartbeat!
With the Assembly this week passing a bill giving more
people the authority to have crazy people locked up in a mental institution,
Mr. Hickey might want to get back on his meds.
But, um, that’s just a rumor.
AX THE TAX NOW!
In response to state Senate passage
of SB252, the governor’s Gross Receipts Tax 2.0, former Nevada state Sen. Bob Beers - currently a Las Vegas city
councilman and only declared GOP candidate for Harry Reid’s U.S. Senate seat – nailed it in a blog post…
What he said.
DRIVE-BY MUTHINGS
The ACLU’s Tod Story
was on the Alan Stock Show this
morning and unwittingly destroyed his own argument in favor of letting boys go
tinkle in the girls’ bathroom in public schools and vice-versa.
According to Mr. Story, no kid should feel uncomfortable if
a member of the biological opposite sex is using the same bathroom because they
can enjoy the privacy of an enclosed bathroom stall.
Really?
Well, then, um…if that’s the case, why can’t a boy who
*thinks* he’s a girl just use a comfortable boys' bathroom stall, as well?
Case closed.
By the way, if co-ed bathrooms are such a wonderfully tolerant
and harmless idea, why do they still have “Men” and “Women” bathrooms in the
Legislature itself?
Freakin’ hypocrites.

A bill sponsored by eight of the ten Democrats in the Nevada
State Senate to collect sales taxes on your online purchases from out-of-state
companies passed unanimously in the state Senate on Tuesday. Yes, unanimously. Meaning every GOP senator voted with every
liberal Democrat to sock your online purchases.
No wonder Councilman Beers is confused as to what exactly it
means to be a Republican.

Remember how political consultant Nathan Emens went postal on conservative Assemblywoman Michele Fiore last December for outing
him as having aided Democrat Assembly candidate Meghan Smith in her race against Republican Assemblywoman Victoria Seaman?
Well, Emens’ client was indicted for perjury today.
Heckuva job, Li’l Nate!
RALSTON’S RANTS
By issuing a statement on Tuesday declaring Gov. Brian Sandoval’s Gross Receipts Tax 2.0
DOA among conservatives in the Assembly through the Assembly Policy Committee
(APC) she chairs, conservative Assemblywoman Michele Fiore once again successfully “in-Fiore-ated” Jon Ralston (D-UI), Nevada’s #2 libeal
blogger-with-a-taxpayer-
Ralston, as is his wont, ridiculed the APC by childishly
calling it the Assembly PINHEAD Caucus (get it?) and then declared it “irrelevant.”
So “irrelevant” that he dedicated the major portion of this
Reno Gazette-Journal column on Wednesday to writing about it!
When something’s irrelevant, doesn’t that mean you ignore
it?
