This is the same teabagger who used campaign funds to buy a yacht
http://www.juanitajean.com/2011/02/16/yachting-dandy-randy-works-hard-to-make-fool-of-self/

Most of you are familiar with Juanita’s favorite yachtsman, Republican Congressman Randy Neugebauer of deep West Texas. The district that Randy represents is landlocked and 95% dessert. The other 5% is asphalt.

“However, Randy bought a damn yacht with his campaign donations. Not a bass boat. Not even a ski boat. It’s a yacht. In fact, here’s what it looks like,” she shows a picture to everyone and they all say, “Damn, girl, that’ a yacht!”


Here is a picture of the yacht purchased with campaign funds



It is hard to take anything that this idiot says seriously

They shut the government down, yet yell at the people working there who have no choice but to enforce their actions?

Bizarro world.

The media should call this vile SOB out for his cowardly attack on a public servant. What a despicable little man.

i kinda liked that. i talked slowly and clearly, with my texas accent. the shame, and here i am raising two texan boys that would never embarrass their mama in such a way. lol.

i am thinking cause was during the shut down, that is why they had the recorder. or not.

I wonder how many South Plains voters wish they had Charles Stenholm back in Congress. Charles Stenholm might have been a conservative Democrat (although not reactionary as the Dixiecrat turncoats and the Tea-bagger who took his seat), but I seriously doubt he would have embarrassed the voters of his now-gerrymandered congressional district.

Ah, well. The members of Texas congressional district got what they voted for.

According to Juanita Jean, CREW has filed an ethics complaint against this idiot http://www.juanitajean.com/2013/10/04/at-the-very-least-someone-should-sink-his-yacht/

Well, the good folks over at CREW did more than just get upset. They did something.

Today, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics against Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX) for conduct that reflects discreditably upon the House.


I know. It’s hard to believe that he hasn’t been be brought up before on “conduct that reflects discreditably upon the House.” Of course, Tom DeLay and Louie Gohmert lowered the standard on that pretty good.

“Rep. Neugebauer’s demeaning treatment of the ranger reinforces the commonly held belief that members of Congress are arrogant and have an over-inflated sense of superiority,” continued [CREW Executive Director Melanie] Sloan. “The House cannot permit its members to berate federal employees for a government shutdown for which Congress is responsible. Rep. Neugebauer needs to be held accountable for his reprehensible conduct.”


This is good news.
