The Quitter’s ghost writer has no sense of irony. Just how much did Palin’s PAC drag out of her fans on the speculation that she might try to get into the White House, again?

Well miss you, Blue Tex!

And, by the way, BT, you’ll be missed here. My lunch hours will lose a little something without your special brand of sarcasm.

Thanks D-Day.

No BT it will not be the same without you.

BT, speaking for myself, I am going to miss your posts. Take care and I will visit your humble abode quite often.
Thanks!

and just think how much richer he will be if he becomes potus. the going rate for an ex pres is mega millions

Thanks mswinkle, AppleCanyon2 and EvilPuma!

BT, no! Say it ain’t so!

(Alright. I’ll add another site to my list of favorites. Just promise to keep up the snarky goodness.)

No more BlueTexan…? *sigh*
It has been a pleasure reading your posts, sir!

Sorry that I had not realized that your abode is Austin. I do not know how I missed that. Thanks for your work, and Im glad I can follow your work. Agree about Palin. Looks like she’s had alittle practice in leaving rich as well….if she leaving.

wow, BT, your snarkaliciousness will be missed. Thanks for all the good reads. Carry on….

Wow. That’s pretty fantastic that Palin’s ghost writer actually has the nerve to say that. I thought I’d seen just about everything from the Grifter, but I must’ve suffered from temp amnesia and forgot that the Caribou Con Artist finds no lie too egregious if it means she can make a buck or two.

As someone wrote the other day, though: Newt’s forgotten way more about Grifting than Bible Spice will ever know in this life time.

BT: so sorry to bid you adieu from FDL. Thanks for the insights and the many good guffaws!! And best to you.

It won’t ever be the same without you. *sob*

Thanks so much for all the great work, and good luck with your new abode, no matter how humble…

oh, and Newt’s a snake

Thanks BT, I will miss you.

noooo!

you will be missed.

I dunno…snakes are vertebrates…

I will very much miss your posts.

Boxturtle (Must not cry while waving goodbye)

Hey, FDL bloggers are more than welcome to link to my Instaputz posts. :)

I thought this was somewhat akin to KimK’s outrage at the Casey Anthony acquittal. Oy.

you have to admit, he is cold cold blooded

Thanks for everything, BT. You will be missed. Good luck in your future roles.

ghost

Oh, yes, no doubt about that.

X 2

Thanks BT.

I too will visit your site often.

I already added Instaputz to my faves list.

So sorry to see you move on, BT. You’ve been a pleasure to read and I will visit your site.

Seconded.

On a separate note, and O/T – BT, you’re in the Austin area, right?

Any chances of seeing you at Occupy Austin in the future?

good luck BlueTexan!, my afternoons will be a little longer now lol.

I have in fact been down there some.

CBL had mentioned you were here in the area. I’ll twitter at you next time me, her, and oldnslow are heading down there. Maybe we could meet.

On a personal note, this is my final post at FDL.

Noooo!!!

I’ll miss your posts around here, but I’ve already bookmarked the other site, so I’ll be crusing in there regularly.

As I’m certain that you must have guessed, Blue Texan, you’ll be very largely missed …

The very best to you, BT, in all your many future endeavors … and I’ll be droppin’ by your home site to savor more of your snarkish wit and to appreciate your bold and as well as subtle clevers.

It has been a true pleasure to encounter your thoughts and insights, here at FireDogLake, on an almost daily basis.

You have long served at the “front”, and in the fore-front toward broader and deeper understanding, Blue Texan, and I salute you.

DW

Were you there last night?

Thanks so much, BT! Bookmarking Instaputz….

Your site bookmarked and will be visited every day. You have made me laugh so often and I look forward to reading at your place. Your departure leaves a hole at FDL that cannot be filled.

I hope you will comment some, but can understand life calls. Best wishes!

Aww, sad to see you go BT – you’re one of a kind. Have to follow you to your humble abode. Oh, and…

It wasn’t clear if “direct Newt interaction” came with a happy ending.

Thanks for that – I didn’t think it was possible to be any further mentally scarred after the last few years but, well, that’s gonna leave a mark. Maybe some enterprising young horror film maker can work with you on that one…

/back to the shadows again

Thanks.

And hey, it’s the least Newt can do for all those millions.

NOOOOOOooooooooo! No more Blue Texan?!? I can’t survive this.

Say it ain’t so. You were my favorite of all of ‘em. Being a “counter-humorist” myself, I wanted you on that wall, I needed you on that wall. Now what am I gonna do?

I guess I got the Rev, and DW, Twain. Kris and Evil are good to work off of. BoxT too.

I wish you well. You will be missed.

I guess you can;t blame Newt for taking the money. Even if it was based on fradulent representation. I can;t believe thos companies paid him thinking he had any real infliuence on the hill. NObody, absolutely NOBODY likes that fat windbag. There are few characters in politics as despicable as him. He’s a liar and, now, apparently thief and a fraud. That’s a “hat trick”.

Vaya con Dios Blue.
Your contributions have been appreciated and I will bookmark your humble abode along with a few others who have moved on.

Best wishes, B.T. And thanks for so many great posts.

and all the fish.

Thank you and happy trails, BT!

One thing I think Occupy and Tea-p have in common is dislike of the stink on the money trail, so I think it will not be long until Newtie’s goodbye.

Nope. But planning a trip tomorrow or Sunday.

Thanks, Scarecrow!

Gonna miss the mid-day snark BT.

Happy trails and all that

Mahalo nui loa, BT…! For the wonderful ride…!

Sad to see ya go BT, good luck with everything! I’d say I’d bookmark instaputz…. but that’s actually the site that lead me over here to FDL, so thanks for that hint as well!

BT,

Thanks for getting us up and pointed in the right direction all those mornings. It won’t be the same without you.

your appreciative and already missing you

ohmmmm

A bientot, Bleu Texan!

BT, come back!

May the wind always be at your back. Remember, wherever yo go, there you are.

I’ll always remember that time…… sorry, got to go, Jeopardy is on.

Best last FDL post ever, sir. The joint simply will never be the same without you. A more reliable and remarkable commentator we could not have hoped for. Thanks for being a wonderful wake-up read here on the Lazy Left Coast.

Best wishes to you and yours.

Gonna miss you BT. WIsh is wasn’t good bye :..-(

BT phone home.

Stay in touch.

Couldn’t let you go without saying it :)

your

ohmmmm

Awww, man. Mornings and lunch time are never gonna be the same. Thanks for a wonderful 4 years, BT.

hey, count me in too!

revbev, would you like to meet there? have you been?

*tearfully waving g’bye*

bt, i’m sure gonna miss your posts here but i am glad that i’ll be able to read you at putz…

Thanks so much, BT.
You’ve been a part of our lives for quite a while, and I will miss your not being here.
(((BT)))

Gonna miss you, dude! Good luck to you!

It’s been a pleasure, Azul Tejano. Thank you for everything and good luck in all your pursuits!

Happy trails, BT . . . (going over to instaputz to bookmark . . .)

Vaya con dios, amigo.

I’ll miss ya too BT, if it wasn’t for a few folks like yerself, Willy, Mr. Hightower and Kinky there’d just be no reason for Texas to be allowed to exist……..and the late Molly Ivins, and isn’t Bill Moyers from Texas too? Actually there’s lotsa cool Texans, it’s just that the A-holes and pretenders, like Perry, Gramm, BugMan Delay and baby Bu$h make it easy to forget and make us non-Texans want to nuke the joint!

Don’t even get me started about the corrosive effect of the Texas Textbook revisionist committee on the steadily sinking IQ of the average Amurikan.

BT, you raised the snarking squib to an art form. Best wishes!
