Has Anyone Seen Short’s or Simpson’s Huevos?
It appears that Rep. Danny Short and Sen. Gary Simpson have misplaced their manhood. Yes, they have become eunuchs. WGMD is reporting that Short and Simpson have asked that the hearing on HB 290, which would clarify the duties of sheriffs in Delaware, be canceled tomorrow.
Rep. D. Short, lead sponsor of House Bill 290, said, “Senator Simpson and I, as prime sponsors of the bill, have received numerous inquiries about the sheriff bill over the past several days. Because there is a great deal of misinformation circulating regarding this measure, we have decided it should not be heard in committee tomorrow. I have notified the committee chairman of our intent to table the bill at tomorrow’s meeting.
Translation – “Neither Sen. Simpson nor I have any backbone, we have no balls, and we are the biggest chickenshits ever to serve in the Delaware General Assembly.”
We reported earlier today on how the sheriff’s posse was going to the County Council to protest it’s support for HB 290. Well, The Fatman and St. Bodie Girl couldn’t muster too many people, maybe 20 at most. Bodie even got down on his knees with hat in hand and begged the council to not support HB 290. Earlier in the morning, he was on Dan Gaffney’s show and threatened any Republican who supported this bill with a primary. Guess self-preservation is more important than doing what is right. Then again, tucking tail and running away from a problem is the modus operandi for Sussex rethugs.
What’s alarming about this is that mob rule appears to have won the day (but only today). The pitchfork-toting teahadis, riled up by the lies spread by The Fatman during his show and in his blog posts on WGMD, laid siege to county council and inundated Sussex GOP legislators with threats. As El Somnambulo pointed out, House Democratic leadership told the GOP that it was their responsibility to put this genie back in the bottle. They blinked. This bill is not dead, just delayed. It can pass even without the votes of Short, Lee, Briggs-King, Kenton, Wilson, et al.
But from here on out, Danny Short and Gary Simpson are no longer members of the GOP. They are now members of the Eunuch Caucus of the Delaware General Assembly. Gentlemen, grow a pair or stand aside. Your constituents deserve leadership, not girly-men who are afraid of their own shadows.

Short and Simpson work for Bodenweiser now. I think that they will live to regret their choice on this. A priary threat is one thing, but working for the likes of Christopher, Colley, and Bodie is going to be horrible.
What’s also scary is this move to ask for a Supreme Court ruling on a bill that hasn’t even been voted on yet. I thought judicial review worked the other way around.
The people who are turning Christopher into a cause célèbre need to realize that they are supporting a guy who thinks that Sheriffs have been appointed by God to take down the federal government.
It is flat out crazy that this guy has a following.
Here are a few federal agencies that are subservient to the county sheriff’s office according to Christopher and other Constitutional Sheriff movement adherents:
-U.S. Forest Service
-the Bureau of Land Management
-the IRS
-the FBI
-the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
-the Environmental Protection Agency; and
– the Food and Drug Administration.
Men on the Verge of Sedition.
And in case Short or Simpson are looking for a pair, they can go here – http://www.bullsballs.com/, although I’m sure these are bigger than what they misplaced.
I found this post thru your ping back – seems someone has a set of HUEVOS:

response to Barbi Christopher:
Because Barbi – in case you didnt notice – I was the one that had the nerve to speak up and voice my opinion – and altho your husband has said he would DEFEND my 1st ammendment right of free speech in Salisbury – he stood there – SILENTLY – as I was heckled and never made a move to silence his banner bearers. Nor has he in anyway apologized for what his supporters did – both inside and outside the council chambers – your supports are nothing but thugs and bullies – and they showed their hand today – in full view. I simply got up and spoke, in turn and within the boundries of decency and order – your supporters bullied, booed, called out etc and had to be silenced by council president – THAT is not something I would be proud of. If He was HALF the man you claim – he would have made it known that this type of behaviour would not be tolerated – he is exposed for what he is.
I would call on him to stop the 3-ring circus before it chews him up too – just ask Bodenweiser – the only one with guts and poise in that audience today was me – and its easy to be tough surrounded by your “POSSE”
Living in Sussex gets scarier every day. I wonder if P&Z and County Council will approve an application for me to build a moat around my house to keep the crazy out.
The cray-cray (h/t UI) has definitely come out on the WGMD website and Facebook page.
