Tom Leppert is running for Senate in Texas. Who is Tom Leppert? He is a strange tool who wants to collect email addresses for his Senate campaign fundraising spam lists by starting a delusional petition site to “End the Occupation” because, he says, “the Occupy Wall Street crowd represents the same flawed values that got our country into this economic mess.” Hm. What else do we know about Tom Leppert? Tom Leppert believes no one has ever heard of “Google search,” because he was also the chairman of Washington Mutual’s audit committee right before the bank torched $63 billion of its investors’ money and became the most failed bank in American history. Tom Leppert, in other words, basically INVENTED “flawed values,” so, uh, he would know?Â
Here’s the entire text of his incredibly lazy web site attempt to trick idiots into giving him their email addresses:
The Occupy Wall Street crowd represents the same flawed values that got our country into this economic mess. They possess a false sense of entitlement and think they should be receiving government handouts and run up the debt on an imaginary credit card by making hard-working Americans and future generations pay for the bill.
Please help us reach our goal of 5,000 petition signatures by October 31! We will be sending the petition to President Obama, calling on him to denounce the angry Occupy mob.
And now TOM LEPPERT, ladies and gentlemen, from RawStory:
Before it went down, WaMu was cited as one of the worst offenders in offering the junk loans that inflated the housing bubble. When that bubble popped, WaMu was seized by government regulators, then sold to JPMorgan Chase for $1.9 billion. Chase shortly thereafter received a $25 billion bailout financed by U.S. taxpayers, which it has since paid back.
Luckily for Leppert, he didn’t have to manage that morass, finding himself in a new job just before the crisis hit: Mayor of Dallas, an office he held from 2007-2011.
As a candidate for U.S. Senate, some of Leppert’s largest campaign contributors are in the finance, insurance and real estate sectors. They include the financial services and advisory firm Ernst & Young, which was sued in 2010, and again in 2011, for allegedly helping Lehman Bros. cover up its failing finances ahead of their complete collapse, which was one of main triggers that launched the global financial crisis. Ernest & Young gave Leppert $23,000, according to OpenSecrets.org.
Oh, someone go OCCUPYTOMLEPPERT or something, he seems very annoying. [RawStory]

Being a criminal will only help him in Texas.
Being a white criminal will only help him in Texas.

White, black… they only execute the innocent in Texas.
Cameron Todd Willingham might think differently.
And his vacation property is on purty little patch a'ground called: FuckingCoonBurntBodies Mound in honor of the dark rock formations scattered around the property. Realizing, of course, that some overly sensitive people may be offended by the name, Tom's parents long long ago – possibly hours ago, drew a single line through the text.
The flawed value is that the natural progression for a failed banker is to run for elected office.
So who has the entitlement issues?
Failed banker = sweet golden parachute
What else does he have to do with his time now except help his friends?
UK rhyming slang that EVERYone knows when used in conversation, e.g he's a (pause) merchant banker (pause) = he's a fucking wanker…
Bankers and CEO's. How do these people continue to get jobs, when the majority of them have failure written all over their resumes?
You never heard of "Fuck up and move up"? I'm sure you have.
Another good reason to build a 100 foot tall fence all the way around Texas.
Don't forget the electrification.
Though we should really set up an underground railroad so that decent people can escape…
Doesn't have to be underground – make it coach class only, and the Lepperts of the world would never deign to board it.
That might not be quite enough: we'd have to put a big Telemundo ad on the side.
I could go for some grilled Tex-Mex…
"Nuke it from orbit — it's the only way to be sure"
I'm having a bit of trouble about the signage declaring death to climbers. Cain says he'll put the US/Mexico fence signs in English and Spanish, but any signage we put on the US/Texas fence necessarily assumes that Texans are literate.
"any signage we put on the US/Texas fence necessarily assumes that Texans are literate"
I'm not sure I see the problem here.
Well, it is very broad-minded of Texans to allow lepperts to hold public office. I'll bet Kazakhstan doesn't.
Nor Jews. Ask Borat.
The Kazakhs do have their standards.
Don't they have a leppertsarium in Louisiana?
A Leppert cannot change its spots, however.
However, if patient, they sometimes slide off on their own. With a soft "plop" on the floor or in the dirt.
Ex-WaMu Banker Somehow Manages To Call Ocupados ‘Entitled’
As far as I'm concerned, they're entitled to punch him in the throat.
I was thinking a bit lower than throat.
right at the base of the throat. yep. in the balls.
"right at the base of the throat. yep. in the balls."
What th–??
The balls aren't at the base of your throat, except when you're giving a blow…
Oh, I see what you did there!
Needz more beatings with dildos.
Sounds like a night at Lindsey's!
Marcus has booked a flight to help lead "the prayers".
That's Miss Lindsey to you, suh!
The OWS "crowd" is entitled…entitled to protest, entitled to speak their minds, and if he's not careful, entitled to kick his ass.
I love my First Amendment entitlements.
Hey it'd be a SHAME if some lesser entitled script kids got into his campaign whore chest. You know those kids without names. What are they called?
Let's see: Somehow entitled to huge tax cuts, entitled to buying political favours, entitled to owning the media, and now think they are entitled to blame this rotting economy on folks who "possess a false sense of entitlement…."
Holy shit, Dr. Freud.
No, see – he's right here – by being unentitled to all these things, Occupados MUST have a false sense of entitlement. It's lawyer logic….
We have bigger bubbles to pop. Big asshole wingnut size bubbles..
Something tells me he hasn't read the OWS manifesto any more carefully than his own WaMu balance sheets. Go eat a bag of dicks Tom.
"Go eat a bag of dicks …"
I like that!
A big bag of messican dicks con mole!
I do feel a sense of entitlement. I feel entitled to see criminal actors in our financial industry go to jail.
Many virtual upfists after the real one.
He puts the "tit" in entitled.
Tee-Hee
"Teat"
… and the "led" too… also.
"He puts the "tit" in entitled."
??
I thought that was limeylizzie.
He certainly seem like a man we should listen to. And his supporters seem blameless too.
I have never seen a man who has a more urgent need of being repeatedly bitchslapped across the face with a Texas-sized "We Are The 99%" placard.
Good Ol' Mayor Park Cities. He also stands firmly behind building a 1.5 Billion dollar highway down the middle of a river bed that floods twice a year. That's my Dallas!
So, you don't drive on it twice a year. Problem solved.
Let me guess, that 1.5 billion is *Federal* money, right?
Actually even better! Municipal bond money administered by a Tollway Authority that is beholden to none.
Fortunately the Corps of Engineers is slowly backing towards the door while covering its backside with a three-ring binder full of failed levee tests for the city.
Who is Tom Leppert?
Do you know the Leppert Man, the Leppert Man, the Leppert Man.
Oh do you know the Leppert Man, who lives on Wall Street hay.

Do you think Jesus could cure that Leppert?
Everywhere you go are Lepperts
Lots of folks you know are Lepperts
Wouldn't you like to be a Leppert, too?
If a leper farts, is it called a "Leppert?" Or is he with that band, Deaf Leppert?
Leppertsy,
All my skin is falling off of me.
I'm not half the man I used to be,
Oh how did I,
Get Leppertsy?

Is there nothing Google can't do?
There is a Washington Mutual Stock Settlement in the Courts. You may get seven cents a share for your losses (If you can proove when you owned the shares). Seven Cents a share! See you in Tahiti this winter!

Ask him about those automated WaMu home appraisals:
http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/features/was...
That system certainly worked out well for everyone. What happened to the in-house appraisal reviewers? Particularly in the early days of the new process, when they might have objected to vlaues they didn't believe.
They were the first ones laid off. (CitiBank did the same thing to any of their risk analysts who had the nerve to pipe up.)
In a related development ("capitalist shenanigans in Texas") this morning, a headline reads "Kinder Morgan to Buy El Paso." I wasn't aware that the town was for sale and also, who is this kinder Morgan? Is there a meaner Morgan? Which one is JP?
Okay, biggest typo of the day. It should have said "Kindermorgan takes over El Paso". Kindermorgan obviously means German storm troopers"
Aren't the Kindermorgan a little short for stormtroopers?
They start them very young these days.
Just begun are the kinder wars!

Not to worry, Tom. I'm letting Google know, even as we speak, about my definition of "Leppert" as something involving anal beads, jello, and a taxidermied duck. Be sure to look it up!

Leppert is the new Santorum.
Better yet, Leppert is old fermented Santorum.
I googled "Tom Leppert anal beads" and your comment was the top result; shouldn't we be linking to some blingy of a duck with anal beads or something?
"Tom Leppert anal" works just as well. Urban Dictionary, here I come!

That took surprisingly little editing to become a factual statement.
Another example of the 1% who the guillotine was invented for…
Cool! Do we get cake?!
With buttercream frosting and sprinkles. NEXT!
The cake, like everything Leppert said, is a lie.
Aha! Leppert knew you were rich. Bet you've got a TV too.
I'll bring the knitting.
Fuck this asshole and the credit default swap he rode in on.
Fuck him sideways, with a chainsaw?
I'm not seeing the SEND YOUR GIFT OF $10, $25, $100, OR EVEN $10,000 TO STOP THE DIRTY HIPPIES NOW button. Methinks Mr. Leppert somehow doesn't quite get how this whole thing is supposed to work.
I'll never vote for no Leppert. He should go to Molokai where he belongs.
Beat me to it, I was just about to make a Father Damian comment.
The "Snark Indirect" is always more elegant.
Let's give him a hand….
HEY-OOOOO!
You are correct, sir!
5,000 signatures, huh? I could get 5,000 signatures for a stale jelly donut. By the weekend.
Seriously — it would take about 5 minutes to get 10,000 signatures for a petition to "have the former Auditor for Washington Mutual gang raped on live TV by a dozen orangutans" The server would be hit so hard it would probably catch fire.
Face it, Crank; a stale jelly donut is a lot more appealing than this pee-crusted taint.
But but but Mister Leppert.. Did you join hands with pro-Life Perryites to pray aweh the ghey?… Did you rally with those fellow warriors under a dry Texas sun that desperately needed rain be released by their hard-of-hearing Yahweh? No? Me neither. And my dollars thrown at your web-con aren't going to change the momentum spiking across the country any more than crackers for Christ are going to yield droplets of moisture from thin air. Doesn't seem like your time spent in local office or philandering financial oversight has done much to inform your priorities, but mind yourself: I hear the burning bush visions are overrated. Try actually listening to the voices on the streets instead.
"crackers for Christ"
I like this. I like it a LOT.
Just picturing grabbing the ends of his silk tie and twisting, twisting, …

Of course they're entitled — entitled to reasonable laws that keep lying scumbags like Tom Leppert and the people who pay him from selling worthless shit on the free market and then blaming the buyers when it blows up like they knew it would.
"it blows up like they knew it would"
Now, now. No one *could POSSIBLY have foreseen*…
Oh, wait.
They've used that one already, haven't they?
Sounds like he and Texas deserve each other.
"random vague talking points. Now, sign our petition. Don't worry, you don't have to read it first, you trust us, right? And you and I both know you're probably not smart enough to understand our important politician words anyway. What's your email address?"
Hey Tom, I think we should set up a petition to bring criminal charges against Tom Leppert for fraud. I'm sure we could get way more than 5,000 signatures too.
Lemme see: Texans would want to "treat (Bernanke) pretty ugly" for trying to do his job and get the economy working, but this Leppert turd is an elected official. When is Texas seceding?
Republicans hate any government program that actually works: SS, Medicare, The Fed, etc…
They better do it soon, 'cause Rick Scott's going to need a place to plead for political asylum.
When the Cowboys lose to the Rams on Sunday.
Losing to the New England (lubrul elitist yankee) Patriots ought to have done the trick already.
When Rick Perry is elected President of The United States.
Way it sounds, most Texans can't stand that asshole any better than the rest of the U.S.
"When is Texas seceding? "
Not soon enough.
He's only 47% of the way to his goal. Let's see how many of the remaining 2,650 signatories have the first name "Dickhead."

Most Texas Republicans are total idiots. You have to tell them from time to time or they start thinkin' they're smart.
How come 90% of the Cops episodes are filmed in Dallas?
To be fair, they do have a higher concentration of shirtless assholes.
Because Topeka legalized wife-beating. Haven't you been paying attention?
Because 10% of the time the camera malfunctions?
the Occupy Wall Street crowd represents the same flawed values that got our country into this economic mess.
The Occupy Wall Street movement is calling for lower taxes on the rich, massive deregulation, and useless wars that you don't pay for? Wow, I've totally misjudged them.
“the Occupy Wall Street crowd represents the same flawed values that got our country into this economic mess.”
Hmm. I understood all those words. And, yet, the sequence they were presented in made no sense.
Yahoo Serious Festival
You want flawed values? Here's one, just out: "Citigroup Earnings Rise 74% to $3.8 Billion"
I certainly hope nobody has the email address LeppertSucksTruckNutz@gmail.com, or they're going to wonder about the random thank-you message that's about to appear in their inbox.
We need to put a margin call in on Texas' sanity. I'm sure they are undercapitalized.
Free government handouts are only okay when they are being given to big businesses. Everybody knows this…
Before napalming Texas, I have to mention that Leppert, like Boosh, is a Harvard grad who is originally from NYC (moved to Dallas in 1990).
…..eh, fuck it , napalm it, we're a giant turd farm.
Texas is like Sandhurst, its where the nobility, or here in the States, the oligarchs, send their less intelligent offspring. See, e.g., Bush, George W.
Claiming that "The Occupy Wall Street crowd represents the same flawed values that got our country into this economic mess" epitomizes the old blame-the-victims mentality that many of our plutocrat overlords share; they blame the mortgage crisis, not on the banks that conned people into taking out loans that they would be unable to repay, then bundling and selling those loans to escape the eventual loss, but on the individuals who were conned into taking those loans out. They claim that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac somehow caused the mortgage crisis instead of being victims of it, because the overlords can never be blamed for their bad acts.
I heard that a young buck took his food stamps into a liquor store, bought an orange and some vodka, and spent the change on blow.
Also, don't forget how Barney Frank forced banks to make all those loans that they really didn' want to make and then bundle, resell, etc.
shouldn't OWS start acting like a real patriotic Revolutionary War rally, and at least burn some of these scumbags in effigy, and then move up to tar & feathers?
WaMu?? Hmm… WaMu… sounds familiar… Oh yeah, they were the ones that said I make enough to afford a $1600 mortgage… but not enough for $1250… yep… I sure miss those guys…
NICE VALUES ASS-WIPE!!
Failed banker/disgraced preacher/adulterous legislator = wisdom on family values/American exceptionalism = Republican votes/lobbyist bucks.
Rinse (in hypocrisy) and repeat.
The Occupy Wall Street crowd represents the same flawed values that got our country into this economic mess.
Endless, unfunded wars and tax cuts for the rich. We just didn't know how sound those economic policies were, Leppert. Sorry. Our bad.
Only 5,000 signatures for an online "petition"? That's not much of a standard. Your average Paultard could generate that many during the commercial breaks for "Alphas."
Of course, it's probably about the same level of rigor he applied when auditing WaMu.
I say send him to a leppert colony. Oh, wait, that would be an improvement for him.
"Please help us reach our goal of 5,000 petition signatures by October 31! We will be sending the petition to President Obama, calling on him to denounce the angry Occupy mob."
Holy crap!!! Five-THOUSAND signatures? In two WEEKS?
That's .00016% of the US population…yeah, that'll make Obama take notice.
If this guy wanted to set the bar any lower, he'd need a shovel.
Look at his arms. Something weird looking.

Isn't this kind of like the two slowest horses on the track boycotting the Kentucky Derby? It'll show 'em, I guess, just don't know what.
HughJanus@phukyoo.biz just lent his unfailing support to Leppert. And I'm sure Siddona Sybian and Ivana Biggcok will be happy to do the same. Because democracy!
Leppert is originally from New Yawk City? I thought leppertsy came from Mexico.
I went to Texas to re-connect with some relatives last week. Now, as loathe as I am to make sweeping generalizations and as much as I love my cousins, I have to say that they must manufacture Cognitive Disconnect down there.
Another good Christian boy, no doubt. Hah. Texas is the Octomom of weird political zombies.
Criminals are always looking to commit more crimes. This cunt is no different.
I believe Mr. Leppert is entitled too. Entitled to an ass kicking.
So…he'd be running as a Democrat right?
stupid greedy fuck is stupid.
It always amazes me how small these campaign donations are. $23,000? To Ernst & Young that's like 3 hours of billing.
I'm insulted that our politicians are such cheap whores.
Keep it up, mofos, and eventually the dirty hippies will figure out that they can take you down without marching, camping, making signs, or doing anything other than REFUSING TO PAY YOU BACK.
