Shuster: The pot smoking, DUI darling of the Pennsylvania State Police
My college roomate grew up with the Shusters in Evertt, PA.

The stories he used to tell me...and this was way before Billy was in politics...(early 90's)

Surfice it to say Billy has been protected by the Pennsylvania State Police since he was a young boy. Smoking pot, Drinking , DUI - - were no problem for the Shusters. My roomate told me no state cop would ever bust them...the cops would usually just let them go...or escort them home. This happened alot - My roommate said it was great...you could do anything and know that you couldn't get busted.

Too bad Pennsylvanians want this sort of Aristocratic, Nepotite representing them...they need to wake up...they just passed on DelGrosso...a hard-working businessman who has served his country and knocked on 10000 doors...

How many doors did you knock on, Billy?

1. Bud Lite Deserves that Congressional Seat
After all, Daddy worked long and hard to build it into the money making enterprise that it is, and it absolutely should be kept in the family. It would be unseemly to let someone from Altooona, of all places, and an honest man to boot, take away the gravy train.

It's really too bad that the Democratic Party is so feeble in Central PA (at least it was whan I lived there, and I haven't seen much sign of life from a distance). Politically, PA certainly is Pittsburgh and Philadelphia with Alabama in the middle.

2. Bud Shuster is a corrupt Human garbage Sack
I expect his son, like MANY of the Sons of the Aristocracy, is dumber, meaner, crueler, with less conscience and more shortsighted (is that even possible?)

Augustus begets Tiberius begets Caligulka begets Nero, so to speak.

Which is why the Founding Fathers tried so hard to keep Amerika from degenerating into an aristocratic Empire.

They succeeded for 225 years. Quite an achievement.

3. Del Grosso gave him a pretty good run for his money
The Wednesday paper said it was 40,882 to 39,013- a difference of 1,869 votes. Hope he tries again.
