1. We almost need a scorboard of arrests of pols' offspring

Seems heavy on the GOP side, or is it just me? The family values party seems to have some areas that need work.

2. He just announced he resigning before the arrest.

So another one bites the dust and the district could come into contention.


This is the same NASA area they caught the GOP state rep Bob Allen in the restroom

3. Yeah, I got that. But what kind of parents are these GOP pols that their kids are so troubled

and so much trouble? Maybe they need to take a look at other methods of child rearing.

6. He's gonna be indicted and also lead the charge on the Shavio case

but voted against the schip act and the emergency family leave act.

See my Jane Harman thread she is a democrat and in trouble with her manager pleading guilty and faces 20 years in prison.

4. The Dems are just as bad, if not worse

Remember that photo of Chelsea Clinton from a tennis match a few years ago? She was sitting with her boyfriend, and one of her nipples was clearly poking at the fabric of her shirt! It was a scandal, I tells ya, every bit as bad as getting into a drunken bar fight! How dare Chelsea Clinton have nipples! Good Republican daughters don't.

8. Yeah, that pic was SO just like the mug shot of the bush kid in FL

:rofl:

5. What was George Bush doing at a bar in West Melbourne, Florida at 1:40 am?

Does Pickles know about this?

7. Woohoo! Kick some ass!

:sarcasm:

Seriously, what is wrong with people like that?

Oh wait, they're Republican. Silly me!
