Governor Rick Scott has six pairs of custom made boots with

[rzemanfl]

the Florida Seal and other such crap on them. It was a front page article in the right wing Tampa Trib today. His collection of stupid boots is worth more than most people's cars. It gave me a new name for him "Governor Twelve Boots" which is all I will ever call him in the future that is not obscene. I can't find a link. I cut the article out and put it on a page captioned in 14 point bold font "Hey Ricky you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind!" which now hangs in my office.

1. Takes Vainess to a higher level....

22. Just another white collar crook who had lots of help buying the Governorship of Florida.

Lots and lots of crooks and liars sitting in positions of power and most of us need boots to listen to them.

2. I thought you were going to write, "made with the scrotums of orphaned boys ...

... who are now working off the cost of the operations to remove their own scrotums for the governor's footwear in the kitchen of the governor's vacation home., feeling fortunate that the governor is only charging them 18 percent on the loan."

That's what I thought you were going to write.

3. Don't give him ideas, please, he wears a size ten, that'd take a

lot of balls.

[Kurovski]

4. You've captured the man's heart in print, you did.

:cry: What a rugged individualist he is!

[MedleyMisty]

6. That's imaginative!

All I had was "made with human skin".

[louslobbs]

24. Large Male Rat Scrotums for his boots.

5. Wonder where he got that idea?

[Raine]

23. Actually somewhere I heard that the president

is always gifted with a pair of those things. I don't know if it's true or not but I can't see where anyone would willingly pay out good money for something so tacky.

27. i rember that pic

9. Thank you, thank you! I never thought to look under "Human

Interest" since I don't consider him human or interesting.

[Tx4obama]

15. All I did was do a Yahoo search for: Governor Rick Scott boots

and several results came up ;)

[rzemanfl]

19. I tried searching the newspapers crappy website. I should have

googled.

[Release The Hounds]

30. Awesome.

36. Reminiscent of * and his embroidered warm up suits.

:eyes:

8. In my opinion, one cannot have too many pairs of boots.

I love every pair of my boots, all made by the top bootmakers in Texas. If I had to choose between any of my guitars and even one pair of my boots, there is only one guitar that I would not part with. I have way more pairs than he does and I lost count long ago.

For some of us, boots are a very personal choice.

I designed every pair, myself.

10. Well, that's weird.

For me, boots are pieces of equipment I put on my feet to perform a task.

[Sonoman]

18. Oh, I have those, as well.

I'm wearing a pair, right now, because we are going out and it is raining.

The wild ones are like plumage on a male bird (or so I used to think before I grew old). Some are strictly for stage and I wouldn't want to walk 100 yards in them.

[rzemanfl]

12. Do your boots have egotistical prick designs on them like his?

Where I used to live boots had felt liners and here it is too hot for them.

[Sonoman]

16. No fucking way.

No palm trees, either.

Mostly floral, musical or geometric shapes.

Some are completely unadorned - the skins speak for themselves ("Please don't kill me!").

I actually thank the animals who wore those hides before I did. Even the bullfrogs.

13. Thanks to you too. I would never look for Gov. twelve boots

under human interest and I didn't see a "who the fuck cares?" section.

[onethatcares]

14. same article in the spt, metro section, the guy that makes them

commented he wouldn't make any for President Obama because he's giving away our money.

Just another day in Floriduh. I don't think it will ever stop.

Meanwhile a bill was introduced to allow all homeowners insurance companies to raise premiums 25%. That'll bring mine to $3588.00 next year.

[rzemanfl]

17. I am quitting my state job and am seriously considering a

strategic default on the house. It takes over two years to foreclose, longer if you fight it. What I'd save in payments probably comes close to our equity in this market. Our insurance would be about the same as yours if that passes.

[EC]

20. How about:

Hey Ricky. Those boots are meant for walking, so walk right outta here.

[rzemanfl]

26. Plausible deniability. What I said was either disrespectful or

not....

[walldude]

21. Is he related to Imelda Marcos?

Seems like he's got a shoe thing. And what's with the stupid boots? Boots? In Florida? For a politician? Ooh is he going to get a big hat and chaps? How about spurs? Ooh and what about one of those secret decoder rings, that would be cool...


Really? These are our leaders? Little boys playing dress up? We're fucked. I mean it. People actually voted for this asshole.

[rzemanfl]

25. Remember Katherine Harris riding her horse? They are all

crazy.

[walldude]

28. Shit I totally forgot about her...

She went for the silicone instead of the decoder ring though... :toast:

[FLyellowdog]

29. Someone should start a "Give Scott the Boot" campaign

by sending him old worn out boots to help with his collection. What a pity for FL.

[timtom]

32. So...he outdoes GWBush in foolish arrogance. (n/t)

34. How about Governor Little Boots?

Got a hint of that Caligula to it....which seems fitting.

35. Governor Imelda (Marcos) Scott?
