WTF Friday: Freedom Isn’t Free
When we started WTF Friday last week, I was worried that we might have trouble pulling together a collection of crazy, weird and funny quotes every week. Boy was I wrong. With the tea party threatening to blow up the world and election silly primary season well underway in Texas, we are knee-deep in the derp. Our team of news sleuths have searched high and low (mostly low) to bring you only the freshest and finest, locally-sourced artisanal quotes for your reading pleasure.
1) How Low Dew You Go?
“I don’t know about you, but Barack Obama ought to be impeached. Not only for trampling on our liberties, but what he did in Benghazi is just a crime.”
—Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst at a tea party event on Monday

Blake Farenthold
4) ‘If you don’t throw in your buck ‘o five/Who will?’
“I feel like my mandate when I was elected was to go reduce the size of government, lower taxes, and increase freedom, and freedom isn’t free, and sometimes you have to make a small sacrifice to move forward with what you’re after.”
—Congressman Blake Farenthold (R-Corpus Christi) on his vote against the debt deal
We don’t know if Farenthold, he of the duckie pajamas, is a South Park fan or not but this one’s for you bud.
