Dan Patrick Says Sandra Bullock Movie About Wendy Davis Filibuster Can't Film In The Senate

[TexasTowelie]

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick isn’t exactly a fan of Sandra Bullock these days. Thursday, in a wide-ranging speech to the Texas Public Policy Foundation, a conservative think tank, the Republican talked about legislative success, the Texas economy, and also, his disappointment about one of Bullock’s upcoming films.

“It saddens me that Sandra Bullock has agreed to play Wendy Davis in a movie called ‘Let Her Speak’ – they’re making a movie about the filibuster? Yeah they are. Sandra Bullock, I used to like her,” Patrick told the audience.

That filibuster happened in 2013, when Davis was a state senator representing Fort Worth. She and other Democrats – including Leticia Van de Putte – were trying to stop a strict anti-abortion bill from getting passed.

“And by the way if I have anything to do with it, I’m not going to let them use the Senate chamber to shoot” Patrick said. “Because they’ve already disgraced the chamber once – they’re not going to do it a second time.”

1. The article says commercial ventures

are already banned. So, his statement was stupid.

Republicans never miss an opportunity to be small and petty.

2. Fuck that guy.

3. Patrick needs to go, just as soon as possible.

And best of luck to Sandra Bullock and the Wendy Davis movie. I'm sure that another governmental chamber can be found for filming---somebody give Jerry Brown a call in California.
