The crazy keeps coming from state Rep. Brian Nieves. In an only-in-Missouri moment, his supporters held a "prayer vigil" for the allegedly angry-blooded Republican.
Nieves isn't blaming demonic possession (although the KC Blue Blog thinks Nieves may need an exorcism); he blames shadowy, unnamed "kingmakers and the powerbrokers in the state of Missouri" as those trying to torpedo his run for Missouri Senate, according to the St. Louis Beacon. Surprised he didn't throw in a good ol' Barack Hussein Obama.
"They want to hang me up like a scarecrow," claimed Nieves
(R-Kooksville). "The Old Guard (within the GOP) feels threatened." Yeah,
quite literally if you believe the head-butting,
gun-waving claims of Shawn Bell.
"There is no way
they will ever control Brian Nieves," Nieves said, almost assuredly as
if he were "Macho
Man" Randy Savage.
Nieves reportedly added that he'll
be just fine. "God has his hand all over this situation."
Nieves didn't name names but the events emcee, chairwoman of the
tea party affiliated Show-Me Patriots Cindy McGee, did.
Roe denied giving a rat's ass about Nieves to"James Harris and Jeff Roe are going down!" shouted McGee,
referring to two top Republican consultants who had worked for
Stratman.
the Beacon, but credit him for giving a hilarious quote.
"IRoe wasn't the only one with money quotes. Dickhave 31 campaigns in 18 states," Roe said. "While (Nieves) is having
prayer vigils about Armageddon, I'm watching Monday Night Football."
Stratman, the guy Nieves defeated in the Senate primary, told the Missourian:
"He can blame me or the boogey man or the people in theSorry, Dick.black
helicopters," Stratman said. "But I had nothing to do with what he
is saying. I don't know why he keeps on bashing me. When the horse
is dead, it's time to dismount and move on. My advice to Brian is
be a gracious winner and move on. I have."
Nieves doesn't sound like that type of guy.
