Compares Zinke to Nixon

I was thinking about the last several years and Ryan “Former Navy SEAL” Zinke.

I think everyone remembers Jesse “Former Navy SEAL” Ventura (there is some question even today whether he was a SEAL or a UDT). Even though he is a lovable character, he could be called Jesse “Wacko” Ventura now.

We can’t call Ryan “Former Navy SEAL” Zinke, Ryan “Wacko” Zinke because that would be an insult to Jesse Ventura.

I remember what Richard Milhouse Nixon used to say: “Don’t listen to what I say, watch what I do.” Now, as we all know, Nixon went from Richard Milhouse Nixon, to Richard “Tricky Dick” Nixon, to Richard “l am not a crook” Nixon, to Richard “l am a crook” Nixon.

If we look at everything Ryan “Former Navy SEAL” Zinke has done in the last several years, one has to conclude he has gone beyond being renamed Ryan “Milhouse” Zinke. We have had Ryan “l am not crazy” Zinke, and lately to Ryan “l am not a crook” Zinke, but I’m willing to give him some slack. So for now, we can stay with Ryan “Milhouse” Zinke.

Ryan and his cohorts start a PAC, he really believes he deserves a government job (we need to elect him to something; after all, it’s his right), resigns from his PAC and his cohorts donate the money to him. Richard Milhouse Nixon must be so proud.

As an old rancher, I remember what my dad used to say: “Careful, not everything in a pasture smells like roses, so watch where you step.”

Everything around Ryan is beginning to smell, and get deeper and deeper. I’m beginning to hear BS detectors going off in the newspapers and the public. Turn yours on and look where you are walking.
