I Dare You To Try Me -#33

One hallmark of the GOP cocksuckers is that they think they haven't done anything wrong and that the justice system doesn't have the guts to put them on trial.

#33 RICHARD GOYETTE
ex-MAYOR CHICOPEE, MA

I written earlier that GOP cocksuckers think they are ringed with enemies and showed that mindset at work in a DUI case involving some good ol' boy in South Carolina. This dude claimed that even though he failed *three* sobriety tests at the scene, couldn't keep his pickup in the correct lane and pulled into the driveway of a total stranger to discuss politics, he wasn't drunk to the flipping gills. No way. He claimed this was a political arrest.

Now we have the same mindset at work in the case of Richard Goyette, the former mayor of Chicopee, Massachusetts. Althought the crime was different.

This time it wasn't drunk driving, this time it was *extortion.*

Goyette had made some enemies during his tenure, which is understandable. In life, you're going to make enemies. If you don't, the maxim goes, you aren't doing anything.

Thing is, not to many of us make the kind of enemies that wear wires and snitch for the FBI. Goyette at first maintains his innocence but eight months later he switched his plea five days before he is going to go to trial. He pleads guilty to two counts of extortion as the judge plays two tapes of him accepting two $5,000 bribes from local businessmen.

Goyette then tries to have his lawyer throw the evidence out, arguing it's entrapment. The court finds no entrapment. When that happens, Goyette pleads for mercy. He doesn't get any. What do respondents on two of the blogs mentioning the case say?

Good riddance.

Here Come Da Drunks v.22.0 - #32

#32 CRAIG WESTBERG
COLORADO DISTRICT ATTORNEY

CLASSIFICATION: Type II (Repeat Offender) and Type VII Drunk (MAJOR Hypocrite)
OBJECT HIT: Horse

If any example serves as there being one set of rules for the GOP cocksuckers and another for the rest of us, it would be hard to do better than D.A. Craig Westberg.

One and a half years ago, Westberg gets busted for driving under the influence of sleeping pills and causes an accident. If things are a little sketchy, it's because Westberg wants them that way.

The local paper, the Durango Herald, tries to get a look at the state patrol's and the AG office's records of the arrest and were turned down. So if they make mistakes, well, their reporters couldn't see the records. Westberg, meanwhile, gives his *own* version of events in a letter to the editor to the Herald shortly after the accident.

Michael McLachlan, a Durango attorney, writes an opinion piece, Feb 10 saying that two witnesses to whatever happened have two different stories of the event. When Westberg is asked about it, he claims that a newspaper is not the place to resolve a case such as this; which is a rather odd statement to make considering his letter to the editor four months previously.

This is not Westberg's first time at this particular rodeo either. This represents the THIRD time he's been impaired behind the wheel. The last time he was drunk he hit a fucking horse. He spent 15 days in the slammer for that one.

When you consider that Westberg makes a big deal out of asking for harsh penalties in DUI cases, his position now seems rather weird.

#31 ROBERTO VALLANOWETH,
HEAD OF THE CALIFORNIA OPTOMETRY BOARD

CLASSIFICATION: Type IV Drunk (Killer)
OBJECT HIT: Moving car

Roberto had a .16 on the Breathalyzer when he drifted across the yellow line on South Land Park drive and hit a Chrysler LeBaron head on with his Jeep Cherokee, killing four people in the car.

Not much to say there.

FORMER MAYOR OF CHERRYVILLE, NC

CLASSIFICATION: Type I Drunk (Wrong place, wrong time.)
OBJECT HIT: Utility pole

I don't know how 'faced he was, but last month, former Cherryville Mayor Wade Stroup Jr., lost control of his 05' Taurus and ran into.....wait for it....a utility pole; knocked out the power to Cherryville along with his cracker ass for two whole hours.

The folks of Cherryville didn't need the DWI to wise up, though. They had thrown his useless butt out of office seven years before.

# 27 STATE SEN LANA OLEEN, KS
FORMER GOP COCKSUCKER STATE SENATOR FOR THE KANSAS 22ND; SENATE MAJORITY LEADER

CLASSIFICATION: Type I Drunk (Wrong place. Wrong time.)
OBJECT HIT: Arrested in Time.

Jesus Christ, Kansas is a boring state. I'm sorry if I offend Kansans, but it's true. My father drove me across it when I was 12 forty years ago and I will bet the house it hasn't gotten any better since. A friend of mine had to drive across it three years ago when he had to ferry his family cross-country because his wife was heading to a new job and he used the word 'godforsaken' three times. And this guy had driven across southern Wyoming! I'm originally from North Dakota, so I know boring when I see it. If you're from Kansas and I've offended you, c'mon, get real. How many people do you know who proudly claim they're going to Wichita for a vacation?

It's so boring in Kansas that people have to resort to all kinds of things to keep from committing suicide. Even drunken driving.

Without further ado, I give you Sen. Lana Oleen!

A Shawnee County Deputy Sheriff pulled over Sen. Oleen on the streets of Topeka when she was spotted being unable to keep her Jeep Cherokee in a single lane of traffic. She flunked a Breathalyzer test, but reports do not say how badly. The entire episode cost her about $800 large, plus she had to pay for a $1,000 bond. Two years later, Oleen quit.

Oleen WAS the senate majority leader when all this happened.

#26 STATE REP. SCOTT BOGGIO
GOP COCKSUCKER STATE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE MONTANA 59TH

CLASSIFICATION: Type I Drunk (Wrong place, wrong time.)
OBJECT HIT: Ran over curb in front of a cop.

Last March, Boggio had to shell out $690 for driving with a .14 blood alcohol reading in Helena, MT. The blood alcohol limit in Montana is .08%. This doesn't seem like TOO big a deal except that Boggio is a state representative and you think he'd set a better example for kids.

There's more. When he got his DUI, he had a passenger. Guess who it was? Rep. Elsie Arntzen of Billings, a member of the Yellowstone Country DUI task force.

Boggio said he'd had a couple of drinks with dinner and didn't think he was hammered, but the cop who pulled him over said he ran over a curb in a Ford Explorer while turning a corner. He might have gotten away with that one except there were no license plates on the car. What was the explanation: It was a new car and the temp plates must have been stolen.

Yeah. Right. You can fence those babies for THOUSANDS.
Do I have to mention he is a GOP cocksucker?

Here Come Da Drunks! v. 15.0 - #25

Todays GOP Cocksucker
#25 REP BEN HARBIN
GEORGIA HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS CHAIRMAN AND REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE GEORGIA 118TH

CLASSIFICATION: Type VI Drunk (Hypocrite)
OBJECT HIT: Utility pole

GOP cocksuckers love to claim that government is incompetent. Then, according to Sen. Al Franken, democrat from Minnesota, they get elected and proceed to prove it.

But there is one area where GOP cocksuckers DO make a difference. That is in the realm of utility poles. If you're a utility pole, a GOP cocksucker will hit you with his or her car. It's like you have a great big magnet on you that only attracts cars.

Consider chairman of the House appropriations committee in Georgia, Rep. Ben Harbin, of the Georgia 118th.

Last May, Harbin was on Memorial Drive in Atlanta at 1 a.m. on a Sunday when he crashed into....wait for it....a utility pole and wrecked his car. According to the incident report, which the Atlanta Journal-Constitution took a peek at, Harbin claimed to have slammed on his brakes when he saw a pedestrian and hit the utility pole after he lost control of the car. Trouble is, the investigating officer saw no skidmarks and people who ran to help saw no pedestrian.

Harbin's blood alcohol content was not reported but he flunked a field sobriety test badly enough to be charged with DUI. Before his fateful encounter with the utility pole, Harbin had voted in favor of DUI crackdowns.

#24 STATE SEN. JOHNNY NUGENT
EX-GOP COCKSUCKER STATE REPRESENTATIVE, INDIANA 43RD

CLASSIFICATION: Type I Drunk (Wrong place. Wrong time)
OBJECT HIT: Arrested in time

GOP cocksuckers like to claim their morality is superior to the eeeevilllll Democrats, therefore if they get nailed while driving shitfaced, there HAS be something else to blame.

Case in point: Johnny Nugent, former state representative of the Indiana 43rd.

Nugent got busted for DUI back in 2002 when the Indiana Highway Patrol got word of someone driving erratically on I-74. Nugent said he only had a couple of glasses of wine with dinner but when he was forced to blow into the Breathalyzer, scourge of GOP cocksuckers everywhere, the results showed a .13. The legal limit in Indiana is .08.

True to GOP Cocksucker form, what did Sen. Nugent do? Why, he blames his meds. Seriously. Here’s what he had to say afterward:

“I didn't really drink any more wine at dinner than regularly,” Mr. Nugent said. “Some of the concern is with how it affected me. I do take some medication and it could be that it made it more active.”

What did the good, godfearing GOP cocksuckers of Indiana do? Nothing of course. Nugent’s been a member of the Indiana Senate since then. He is now either 67 or 68 years old.

# 23 JEFFREY KAELIN
EX GOP COCKSUCKER STATE CONGRESSMAN (MAINE) FOR THE MAINE 42ND

CLASSIFICATION: Type I Drunk (Wrong place, wrong time)
OBJECT HIT: Parked car

GOP cocksuckers like to talk really tough but when push comes to shove, like all bullies, they back down.

Consider ex-Rep Jeffrey Kaelin of the Maine 42nd.

In late June, Kaelin got a snootful while at the Sea Dog Brewery in Bangor, backed out of his parking spot and ran his 2006 Ford pickup into another car. After he got done trying to intimidate the arresting officer and telling him he was a state legislator, he blew a .13 on the Breathalyzer, nearly two-thirds over the legal limit.

Then on June 29th, in a prepared statement, Kaelin vows to seek reelection, but less than a month later, on July 6th, he announces he's quitting.

My thanks to www.republicanoffenders.com and the blog 'Surfwax' for this tidbit.

# 22 REP. DAVID LAW,
GOP COCKSUCKER STATE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE MICHIGAN 39TH

CLASSIFICATION: Type I Drunk (Wrong place, Wrong time.)
OBJECT HIT: Arrested in time

While coming back from baseball's All-Star Game in 2005, Rep. David Law of the Michigan 39th, got pulled over by the cops because someone complained that a driver was weaving down the road. Law, who used to be a prosecutor and who should know better than to get behind the wheel with a snootful, scored a .13 on that nemesis of GOP cocksuckers everywhere, the Breathalyzer. Michigan's legal limit is .08.

That episode cost Law $986 in fines and six months of probation.

Law is still in the Michigan House.

Do As I Say, Not As I Do - #21

Today's GOP Cocksucker:
# 21 REP. TRISH GROE
GOP COCKSUCKER STATE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE ARIZONA 3RD

CLASSIFICATION: Type VI Drunk (The Hypocrite)
OBJECT HIT: Arrested in time.

If anyone illustrates the 'do as I say, not as I do,' mentality of the GOP cocksuckers, it would be hard to top Rep. Trish Groe of the Arizona 3rd.

Groe has a rep for being tough on drunken driving, supporting legislation increasing penalties for drunk drivers and testifying in her church as to the evils of Demon Rum. Then came March 22, 2007, when Groe got stopped by the cops for weaving down a section of Arizona 95 that was posted 55.

Well, all of us have had one too many and been speeding at one time or another but not too many of us did what Groe did next. First she blew a .16 on the Breathalyzer, which in Arizona is nearly twice the legal limit. Then she handed the cop her license...her EXPIRED license. That had been pulled because of an unpaid traffic ticket in California.

Now before you feel too sorry for Groe, keep in mind that this is not her FIRST time at this Rodeo. In 1999, she was tried and convicted of drunk driving. It not like she was some innocent caught at a police checkpoint after the big Homecoming game. Besides, there's that little matter of her being really, really tough on drunken drivers. But she's pretty damned quiet when it's HER turn in trouble.

Amazingly, Groe catches a break. Instead of throwing her ass off the edge of the world, her charge is pled down to a misdemeanor instead of a felony. Groe ends up serving 10 days as a guest of the state. She's glad to do it too. Why is this a break? Well, because if she had been convicted of a felony she would have been thrown out of the legislature. This way, she gets to stay. Did she learn anything from her experience? Dunno. You tell me.

Groe pleads guilty in December. In the next two months, she votes in favor of three bills, all dealing with DUI; HB 2090, HB 2095 and SB 1184. The upshot of all this is had these been in place when Groe had been busted, she would have had to do a month in the slammer instead of 10 days.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Every Once In a While, I Accidentally Enter People Twice - #20

#20 & (#284) ROBERT COUGHLIN, II
DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF FOR THE CRIMINAL DIVISION AT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


You might be a little confused by the numbers here but on first reference a name is given with the number.

Coughlin was a beaut. You know how people like to say that there is one system of justice for the elite and another system of justice for the rest of us? It's because of guys like Coughlin that that feeling exists.

Coughlin was in charge of the probe into GOP cocksucker #47 (JACK ABRAMOFF). You know why this scandal seems to take forever? Two reasons. One, the damn thing is so huge and second, GOP Cocksucker #20 and #284 did his best to slow everything down, following the time-tested GOP Cocksucker strategy of running out the clock. 'They only want our seats,' the theory goes. 'Once we leave, everything will go away.' The only flaw in that theory is that we don't just want their seats, we want their asses too.

Anyway, turns out that #284 resigned from his job at Justice after it was shown that he was taking goodies from GOP Cocksucker #127 (KEVIN RING). Now #127 was one of #47's henchmen. Here's what he took from #127:
A. 23 meals at #47's restaurant, Signatures
B. 20 tickets to Abramoff's skyboxes on seven occasions.
C. Five tickets to three concerts and one round of golf.

All this stuff was worth between $4,800 to $6,180. In exchange, #284 helped #47 get a $16.8 million grant for the Mississippi band of Choctaw Indians, who were one of #47's clients.

The most interesting part is that after #284 quit, the case of #47, which #284 was in charge of investigating, goes into high gear and hereto unnumbered GOP Cocksuckers start heading for the Tall Grass. Maybe there was no connection between #20 (#284) and the progress of the case but hey, take a peek:

- #284 quits April 6:
- Two days later #47 starts squealing in the hope of getting a lighter sentence in the Sun Cruz crimes (which involve murder, among other things)
- Five days after that, #127 quits his law firm.
- The same day, GOP Cocksucker #299 (REP. JOHN DOOLITTLE)(who used to employ #284 as his chief of staff) and his wife, Judy, get their home searched by the FBI.
- It gets better.
- A week later, Doolittle steps down from seat on Appropriations Committee and starts a defense fund.
- Three days later, GOP Cocksucker #273 (MARK ZACHARES) pleads guilty to one charge of conspiracy to deprive the public of honest services that included #47 giving him cash, $30,000 in sporting tickets and the promise of a high-paying lobbying job.
- The next day, #273's guilty plea is announced and he will cooperate with prosecutors. Who does this scare the shit out of? None other that Rep. Tom Feeney (NO NUMBER YET), a GOP cocksucker of the Florida 24th.
- One day later (April 25). GOP Cocksucker #54 (EX-REP. TOM DELAY) and GOP Cocksucker #288 (ED BUCKHAM), #54's former chief of staff are under investigation by the FBI.
-Two days later the news about #284's resignation breaks.
-Two days after THAT, reporters start connecting the dots from the guilty plea of GOP Cocksucker #273 to GOP Cocksucker #289 (REP. DON YOUNG) of Alaska.
- The next day reporters start connecting MORE dots. This time from the guilty plea of #273 to a report about slavery and other unsavory labor practices in the commonwealth of the Northern Marianas islands.

The penalty for Bob? 10 months in jail.

A New Drunk Classification - #19

#19 SEN RANDY SCOTT
FORMER STATE SENATOR FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA 38TH

Drunk Classification: Type V (The Paranoid Drunk)
Object Hit: N/A

If you didn't believe the GOP cocksuckers did not live a life of thinking everyone was out to get them, check out the case of South Carolina Senator Randy Scott.

While driving home from a church auction on April 19th, Scott got pulled over by Deputy Chris Freshman of the Dorchester County sheriff's department. Apparently, Scott was having trouble keeping his pickup in the correct lane. Freshman pulls Scott over and arrests him for DUI after Scott fails THREE field sobriety tests.

During the arrest, Scott claims that he is not being arrested for being drunk, he's being arrested because this is a political prosecution. Scott has to go up against an ex state senator in an election later that year and he is positive the senator had something to do with it.

Scott was just getting started. When his ass was brought into the Cop Shop for a blood alcohol test, he started berating the officer in charge that this was a political arrest. He also told Freshman that when a person Scott was backing for sheriff was elected, this would not happen anymore. Scott then threatened freshman that his job was on the line for arresting him.

Not content to whine at Freshman, his superior, and anyone within earshot. Scott demanded to see Judge Glen Stevens for a bond hearing and if he didn't come, he would "fire his fucking ass tomorrow." Stevens said "You tell that drunk boy he can kiss my robe," and hung up. Scott lost the primary to Republican Mike Rose.

Should Deputy Freshman have arrested Scott? Well, take a look at the video of the bust right here: http://web.charleston.net/news/2008/apr/22/sheriff_scott_was_belligerent38146/

You tell me.

Beginning a List of Things GOP Cocksuckers Hit With Their Cars When They Drive Drunk - #17

# 17 REP. LIVVY FLOREN
STATE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE CONNECTICUT 149TH

Drunk Classification: Type I (Wrong Place at the Wrong Time)
Object Hit: Utility pole

Yep, there are women GOP cocksuckers too. Ones like Rep. Livvy Floren of Connecticut.

Four years ago, Floren, who represents the Connecticut 149th, got 'faced and hit a utility pole. She said she was not a regular drinker. (Man, what are the odds? You have a Pink Squirrel with the Staff, trying to fit in and the next thing you know a beefy cop with a tattoo is making you touch your nose with your fingertips.) She was cited for DUI.

Although she said she had swerved to miss a deer, Rep. Floren said in the same breath that "it would never happen again," showing that her power not only extends over her constitutents but cute woodland animals as well.

(Geez, I didn't think there was enough LAND in Connecticut for it to be divided into 149 parts but apparently there are 151 districts.)

Here Come More Drunks! v. 5.0 - #16

# 16 SEN. LEE CONSTANTINE
STATE SENATOR (FLORIDA)
In another instance of Florida attracting all kinds of trouble we have the case of Florida State Senator Lee Constantine.

Senator Constantine is originally from Delaware but moved to Florida. Almost two years ago, Sen. Constantine got his ass arrested for DUI after he was spotted by a police officer in Maitland, FL, drifting in and out of lanes. When he's yanked over, the cop smells alcohol on Constantine's breath.

It gets better, Constantine refuses to take a breathalyzer test, so he automatically loses his license. (Since that was in '04, he's probably gotten it back by now.)

But it still gets better. This was Lee's SECOND DUI bust. In 1990, he was arrested while an Alamonte Springs, FL city commissioner and pled no contest.

And like the gift that keeps on giving, it STILL gets better. Not only does Lee remain in the Florida state Senate but he's the chairman of the Ethics and Elections committee!

Here Come More Drunks v.4.0 - #15

This is a fairly common Type I GOP Cocksucker, except that he happens to be a Missouri lawyer who has an interesting twist on the 'ambulance chaser' scheme.

GOP Cocksucker #15
TOM BURCHAM
FORMER STATE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE MISSOURI 106TH

Simple story. Burcham got yanked over by Jefferson City police a little more than six years ago for the usual DWI that GOP cocksuckers are prone to get. He used to represent the Missouri 106th but was replaced by state representative Steve Tilley, who happens to be a good friend of Burcham's.

Burcham left the legislature in 2006 and is now busily suing small
towns in Missouri, saying that the citizens are complaining to him
over their taxes and are being taxed illegally. But the plantiffs listed in the lawsuits are not residents of the cities being sued. In many
cases the plantiffs are Burcham's law office secretary or Andrea
Pemberthy, a woman Burcham describes as an "acquaintance."

A Side Note: One of the GOP Cocksuckers' Many Pedophiles - #14

I take a pause here in my listing of drunks to list one of the biggest problems that GOP Cocksuckers have, namely pedophilia.

See if this hasn't happened to you: When you slam the Republicans as a party of corrupt, dangerous power-junkies, their apologists will hit you with a very familiar rhetorical club: "Well, the Democrats do it TOO!"

The answer is to shoot back with "Oh no they don't," right in their faces. Most of the time they will be astonished but you'll always get the stubborn diehard that has that smirk on his face that says he's got you. Okay, the following is for him.

Republicans have got it all over the Democrats when it comes to pedophilia. There are lots and lots of pedophilia convictions as well as cases working their way through the courts. If you want to fight me on this, be apprised that I have a good many of them at my fingertips and I am the kind of guy who will beat you over the head with each and every single one of them. In other words, not only will you lose but I can make you look like a complete horse's ass. And we aren't just talking HETEROSEXUAL pedophilia. No, for all their claims to be in the party of family values, GOP Cocksuckers have this unholy taste for underage boys as well as underage girls. There are literally DOZENS of them. The last one I remember was former Rep. Mark Foley of Florida. Remember THAT guy? The fact that he is gay was probably the worst-kept 'secret' in his district. However, when a congressional page turned his ass in because of some of his suggestive e-mails and more and more of them came to light, that WAS a secret. The Republicans fought that coming out like wild rats trapped in the corner by a terrier.

So keep your kids away from these guys. They are simply TOO horny! Here's a good example:

GOP cocksucker #14
TOM ADAMS
FORMER MAYOR OF GREEN OAKS, ILLINOIS

In 2006, Adams was the mayor of Green Oaks ever since 1993. He'd been the Republican chairman of the county-Lake County--from between 2001 to 2004. He was 69 years old and life was good.

Then he up and quit.

Why?

Because police had traced child pornography that had been sent to an undercover officer's computer to Adams's home computer and arrested him. Adams got the first judge hearing the case to recuse herself because of a phone call from a democrat on the Lake County Cmmission suspicious that the case was going to be handled behind the scenes. He also tried to get it thrown out of court on the basis that the phone call croaked any chance he would get a fair trial.

The court disagreed on that score and put another judge in the first one's place. The phone call had actually done it's job. The caller, Commissioner Bob Sabonjian, didn't give a fuck about Adams' right to a fair trial; he wanted to keep the matter in the public eye and not give Adams a chance to skate away. Assistant State's Attorney Patricia Fix said while the call made the case more complicated and was 'ill-considered' it didn't affect Adams's right to a fair trial.

Adams ended up getting four years in the Hoozegow. He is due out sometime next year.

Here Come Da Drunks, V3.0 The Biggest Problem With the Assholes From Texas - #13

You want to know what the biggest problem with these assholes from Texas is? It's that while they all think Texas is God's Country, they just won't STAY there and leave the REST of us alone. We just got done with eight years of their Fearless Leader and look where THAT got us.

#13 REP. KEVIN BRADY
CONGRESSMAN FROM THE TEXAS 9TH
Brady is a congressman from the Texas 8th, which is one of the most conservative districts in Texas. Brady is a six-term GOP cocksucker. He recently went into a rant on the House floor blaming the Democrats for the bad state of the economy. As if the GOP cocksuckers has never blown over half a trillion dollars in Iraq after getting a budget surplus from Big Bill.

Brady was up in South Dakota in late 2005 because it was Homecoming time and he is a graduate from the University of South Dakota, located in Vermilion. However, Brady runs afoul of a police checkpoint, which officers in Vermilion set up because, hey, THEY know it's Homecoming too.

Brady was pulled over for a busted tailight. The trooper was only going to tell him of that fact but when Brady rolled his window down, the trooper smelled booze on his breath. Since the trooper and his compatriots were on the lookout for this kind of thing, he did a field sobriety test, which Brady, in the trooper's words, failed so fucking bad it's not funny.

Brady got his ass arrested and refused to take any subsequent tests. No word on if he was convicted but if he was, Brady was looking at a $1000 fine although typically the fine for first offenders is $300.

Here Come Da Drunks v. 2.0 #12

After taking the weekend off, I resume my list of GOP Cocksuckers. Friday I pointed out #11 Chris Healy and referred to him as a Type I drunk, The Repear Offender. However, Repeat Offenders should actually be Type II. Type I should indicate a certain degree of 'well, it's only his first time.' Healy should thus be the Type II GOP Cocksucker, because this latest one deals with the kinds of guys who get their asses nailed in routine Yankovers on out nation's highways. This presumedly means they have never done it again. Therefore. we must have the following scale:

Type I - The Drunk in the Wrong Place
Type II - The Repeat Offender
Type III - The Problem Drinker
Type IV - The Killer

GOP Cocksucker #12
LOUIS BLESSING
CURRENT OHIO REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE OHIO 29TH
Blessing was ripping down I-71 when a trucker noticed he was weaving and turned him in to the Ohio Highway Patrol. A trooper pulled Blessing over, gave him the Breathalyzer and Lou blew a .11, which was just above the legal limit.

A shocked Blessing vowed not to drink anymore and he was reelected to the Ohio house.

Here Come Da Drunks: #11

I don't know if it's some kind of GOP law or what but staggering numbers of GOP Cocksuckers get loaded and go looking to get their hands on a steering wheel.

And it's not just an example of having a little too much at dinner or a party, or anything like that. Some of these bozos are habitual offenders, hypocrites or simply dangerous idiots.

Let's check out Type I, the habitual offender. We'll start small. How about:

GOP Cocksucker #11
CHRIS HEALY
REPUBLICAN STATE CHAIR FOR THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT

Healy was down at the University of South Carolina attending a debate between Republican candidates when he got picked up by university police, who rapidly determined Healy was hammered, which he admitted 29 days later to the press and said he was an alcoholic in front of a gathering of Knights of Columbus in Wallingford, CT.

"I'm disappointed, but everybody knows someone who has a drinking problem. Chris has done a great job as a chairman, let's give him a second chance," said Ralph Capenera, a member of the Connecticut Republican State Central Committee representing Rocky Hill.

I'd agree. I know people who have problems with The Sauce. I have absolutely nothing against giving a guy a second chance.

Trouble is, this was not a second chance. this was a THIRD chance. Healy had been arrested in March 2002 in Connecticut, when he received a suspended sentence and an 18-month probation term.

What happened to Healy? Well, as far as politics goes, he's still the state chairman.

What You Get When GOP Cocksuckers Are in Power

Just ask the folks in Alaska. The state may be a Red State, dedicated to keeping the evil democrats out because they tell the good people of the Last Frontier what to do but in their zeal to keep the Democrats at bay, the Alaskans let scalawags like VIC KOHRING, for example, prosper.

GOP Cocksucker #10
VIC KOHRING
FORMER ALASKAN STATE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE ALASKA 14TH

The Alaska 14th includes Wasilla, the town where Former Governor Sarah 'The Quitter' Palin comes from, which should tell you about all you need to know about Kohring. But let's go into the ugly particulars, just so Kohring's followers can't complain he was PICKED on.

Kohring, along with GOP Cocksuckers #169 and #170 (BRUCE WEYHRAUCH AND PETER KOTT) took bribes from the VECO oil services company, then a power in Alaska politics. But the president of the company GOP Cocksucker #166 (BILL ALLEN) gets nailed for extortion and bribery. True to form as a GOP Cocksucker, he starts squealing on EVERYBODY he can think of to shorten his time in the Slammer and along with GOP Cocksucker #97 (EX-SEN TED STEVENS) one of them was GOP Cocksucker #10.

Kohring gets clobbered on THREE of the four charges against him. He dodges the fourth one, the extortion thing. Shameless, like all GOP cocksuckers, the day before he is to go to the Slammer for three and a halfyears, Kohring appears by the side of a highway, smiling and waving at passersby.

Homosexuality and GOP Cocksucker #9

You don't have to wait too long for GOP Cocksuckers to reveal themselves as Grade AA hypocrites when it comes to the matter of sex.

Case in point:

GOP Cocksucker #9
BRUCE BARCLAY
FORMER CUMBERLAND COUNTY (PA) COMMISSIONER
The GOP Cocksuckers hate homosexuality, calling it a disgrace to modern man and a moral blight....well, unless THEY are the ones doing it. Let's face it, some GOP Cocksuckers go off the deep end on the subject, saying that it's proof that they are on the side of goodness and light and Democrats are the evil perverts who practice such a thing.

Which is why, when one of them does it, he gets out of politics, pure and simple. just as old Bruce Barclay did.

Barclay resigned his position the afternoon he found out he was the subject of a police investigation into rape on his part.

But Barclay sure fooled them. He videotaped his more than 500 encounters with male prostitutes. No rape there. Just a destroyed political career.

Money And GOP Cocksucker #8

Outside of their own asses and respect, GOP Cocksuckers love money more than anything on planet earth. They love it so much they really don't care how they get it. They steal like you wouldn't believe, cut corners more than one of those construction paper scissors artists making a tree and don't have a conscience about much of anything because hey, it's not THEIR money.

That brings us to

GOP Cocksucker #8 MATT BURGHOFF
MISSOURI DEVELOPER AND ADMITTED FELON

Burghoff is a developer in the St. Louis area who admitted he removed dangerous asbestos in what you could call 'an unsafe manner; 'unsafe' meaning he left more than 60 trashbags of the stuff laying around the Ford building instead of sealing it off so it couldn't be accidentally released into the air. Anyone who's hand anything to do with asbestos removal knows that this crap is dangerous stuff and that people yanking it out have to wear isolation suits that make it look like they are working in a nuclear reactor. Burghoff has 10 days to notify the EPA that he's going to be taking this crap out. What does he do? Nothing. The EPA finds out about it due to an anonymous letter.

So Burghoff admits he was violating the Clean Air Act. Well, big deal, you say.

Yeah, big enough to get him two years in the Slam as a guest of the State.

That wasn't all. Burghoff had gotten a subcontractor to pad a bill to the tune of $133,000 and then got it kicked back to himself.

Losing North Carolina and GOP Cocksucker #7

Nine months ago, it was pretty obvious the President Barack Obama and Vice-president Joe Biden were going to kick the asses of Senator John McCain and then-Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. The only question was how badly bruised were their bottoms going to be?

The conventional wisdom said it wouldn't happen in the South, which was the last bastion of the GOP. Then a funny thing happened on election night; Barack Obama cracked the Solid South, taking Virginia, Florida and North Carolina. That's right, North Carolina, the home of now-deceased venomous hick, Sen. Jesse Helms. It's too bad Helms didn't live to see it but seismic studies from the University of North Carolina showed he was spinning in his grave at what scientists estimated was a speed of 750 revolutions per minute.

How could this be? Well, it could be that voters were just tired of GOP cocksucker hypocrisy. Hypocrisy like the kind that swirled around:

GOP Cocksucker #7
STATE REP. JOE BOYLAN
STATE LEGISLATOR FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA 52ND

After Joe Boylan beat incumbent Richard Morgan in the primary by portraying him as a RINO (Republican in Name Only) in 2006, He went on to win the election, Boylan's GOP Cocksucker backers sat back with a smug smile. Almost a year later, that smile slipped. Seems Boylan got shitfaced at a Raleigh steakhouse and tried to feel up a female legislator.

Boylan was horrified when he was asked by the Southern Pines Pilot for a comment on the affair. 'Those media bastards are doing a STORY on the thing!' hummed the inside of his brain. 'They're telling everyone what I'm DOING! Better knock this down right now!' So Boylan indignantly denied the rumors, saying, "There's nothing behind it. She has denied that anything happened. She strongly resents being used as a tool in Republican infighting."

By 'republican infighting,' Boylan was referring to the hard feeling that exists between his group and the ones who supported Morgan. They were really pissed that Morgan lost in the primary.

Only one problem with that quote: It was total bullshit. There WAS something behind it and THAT was what the legislator resented. Boylan must have suddenly realized later that telling such a bald-faced lie to a newspaper--which could and WOULD check on it--was pretty stupid, so A DAY LATER, Boylan called the Pilot and eventually made the damning admission, "...She did not make the statements I attributed to her."

In other words, Boylan, the good Christian who owns a 'Great Clips' hair salon franchise in Greenburg, lied through his teeth. Although he wouldn't identify the legislator, it didn't stay secret for long. Rep. Tricia Cotham, a Mecklenburg County Democrat wasn't denying anything, but she wasn't publicizing the incident, either.

Not only did Boylan lie about Cotham's feelings, but he went and lied about Rep.'Skip' Stam's too. when he claimed Stam said that the 'allegation was untrue and that she [Cotham] would not file a formal complaint.' Stam was the North Carolina House Majority Leader at the time. But while he had the managing editor for the Pilot on the horn and was apologizing for making up shit anyway, Boylan apologized for putting words in Stam's mouth too:

"I regret this and have apologized. What he did say was, 'The representative has handled the situation, that she has not and did not intend to file an ethics complaint and that she did not appreciate being used as a foil in Republican factional infighting."

Stay with me because this gets better. Here's where we are at so far:

1. Hairdresser Joe gets drunk and feels up another state representative, namely Trish Cotham.
2. Questioned about it by a newspaper, he lies and says it never happened.
3. Then he lies again and claims Cotham said A.
4. Then he lies a THIRD time and claim the House Majority Leader said B.
5. The next day, Boylan calls the paper back and said well, Cotham never said A. She said C.
6. While he's on the phone, Boylan says the House Majority Leader never said B, either. What he really said was D.

(If you aren't laughing yourself sick by now, just imagine the struggles *I* had trying to keep a straight face while sorting this Ring Around the Rosy out. It was like trying to keep a three-year-old from eating dirt.)

In steps Rep. Debbie Clary, who is now a state senator. While Cotham was not talking, Clary sure was, and was she infuriated by Boylan's drunken behavior. Well, that and the fact Hairdresser Joe tried lying about it to the Pilot and then the hate mail she received from one Edward Kennedy (no relation to the senator from Massachusetts) that accused her of spreading vicious rumors about Boylan just because she was a Morgan backer and he lost in the primary. Clary said the GOP had ordered Boylan to apologize to Cotham.

Now Kennedy comes to this rodeo and says that the evil Democrats had gotten to Cotham, who is a democratic legislator, and had told her not to say anything and to let the Republicans slash each other to ribbons over this issue.

Linda, at the 'Blue NC' blog, has a beautiful post on the entire thing, which can be found here: http://www.bluenc.com/hairdresser-joe:-victim-of-dirty-tricks,-or-lying-liar%3F-you-decide.

But there's more! A little more than a year after this fracas and three months before the presidental elections, Boylan gets plowed AGAIN, runs his pickup off the road and wraps it around a tree. He later confesses publicly to being an alcoholic.

Well, duh.

This wouldn't mean much, except that Hairdresser Joe is on the state Alcoholic Beverage Control Committee

Now it may be just a coincidence but Boylan can't be alone. Is it any wonder President Obama took this state in 2008?

Action Jackson

GOP Cocksucker #6
ALPHONSO JACKSON
FORMER SECRETARY OF HUD

That GOP Cocksuckers are practiioners of cronyism is no suprise. Democrats have a record of doing it do but GOP Cocksuckers raise it to an art form. You will find numerous examples of it on this blog. The most recent being GOP Cocksucker #307 (SEN. JOHN ENSIGN), who hired his mistress' kid on his staff.

But it wasn't just cronyism that got Jackson in trouble. He also had the Drunken Frat Boy habit of politicizing everything. They did it with the department of Justice and they did it with the Department of HUD, too. Here's an example of how Jackson ran the department in his own words:
"Why should I reward someone who doesn't like the president, so they can use funds to try to campaign against the president? Logic says they don't get the contract. That's the way I believe."

In other words, 'you better like the president. If you don't, then pretend you do.'

This wasn't the only problem with Jackson's behavior. Jackson was accused of witholding funds for political reasons and allegedly getting below-rate loans from the infamous Countrywide Financial. Neither of those allegations got Jackson in trouble. What DID get him into trouble was refusing to answer questions from two congressional committees--the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, and the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development--about one of those matters and allegations that he steered a federal contract to a golfing buddy in South Carolina.

Jackson said he was quitting to spend more time with his family but the real reason he was giving up was because the constant criticdism over his behavior was wearing him down.

Problems with The Eighth Commandment and GOP Cocksucker #5

The GOP Cocksuckers love to point out that Democrats just have no morals. None. They are godless traitors too. Ann the Man Coulter even says so.

Democrats may not be angels but let's face it when it comes to obeying Mosiac Law, it's the GOP Cocksuckers who have trouble with all the commandments, especially those ones about adultery and about theft (the seventh and eight commandments, respectively.)

GOP Cocksucker #5 FELIPE SIXTO
FORMER PRESIDENTIAL AIDE TO THE DRUNKEN FRAT BOY FOR INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS

Felipe didn't have trouble keeping his pants on (a rarity in GOP Cocksucker circles) his problem was with the EIGHTH commandment; the one about stealing. The Center for a Free Cuba is one of those groups dedicated to making life tough for former Cuban Communist dictator Fidel Castro. (While not on his deathbed just now, Fidel is pretty close to it.)

Sixto, as an opponent of the Castro regime, sold things like radios and flashlights to CFFC. Trouble was, he regularly overcharged them and pocketed the difference. Sixto overcharged CFFC to the tune of $579,000 before CFFC caught on and started investigating the matter. Sixto, realizing the noose was tightening, admitted to what he was doing Dec. 19, 2008 thinking he could get home confinement or probation. He got probation all right, three years of it...right after he serves the 2½ years U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton gave him in the Slammer and pays a $10,000 fine.

Walton compared Sixto to disgraced financier Bernie Madoff and said having employees like Sixto inside the White House makes people question the honesty and integrity of government officials.

Plaigarism and #GOP Cocksucker 4

Yep, the GOP Cocksuckers have a real problem stealing stuff from other people. Ann The Man Coulter, for example. Type in Ann Coulter; plaigarism' into Google and you'll get 39,900 hits.

She's not all. Ben Domenech, the Washington Post blogger who founded the Red State blog, got his ass canned when it was pointed out that he had a pattern of stealing stuff ever since college. He lasted for six weeks at the Washington Post blog when bloggers gleeful pointed out Domenech had, according to Wikipedia, stolen stuff from Washington Post writers, The New Yorker writers, humorist P. J. O'Rourke, and several other sources as well. To write metaphorically, Domenech looked like a pro wrassler caught in the middle of a heel turn that wasn't in the script. (To hell with explaining it. Call a trailer park in Mississippi and ask a trailer owner's adolescent son what a 'heel turn' is. He'll probably know. Better yet, just google 'heel turn.')

There's Monica Crowley, the Fox Not the News political analyst and former researcher for Richard Shit Nixon, who stole a 1988 Commentary magazine from Paul Johnson. Then there's Jerome Corsi, the guy who wrote The Obama Nation and the swift boat book on John Kerry. He admitted he stole from lawyer, columnist, radio talk-show host and put-upon blogger Debbie Schlussel, who can be found here: http://www.debbieschlussel.com/ and who wrote a scathing column on her blog that includes the preceeding examples. Schlussel hinted (but didn't actually write) that there should be a special circle reserved in hell for these Types.

And then there's...

...GOP Cocksucker #4 TIMOTHY GOGELEIN
FORMER SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH

Gogelein used to like to claim that the Drunken Frat Boy was the instrument in God's hand that kept us safe after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Historians, Gogelein claimed, will look back and recognize that the Drunken Frat Boy was one of our greatest presidents who just oozed integrity from every pore.

Maybe it was that integrity that made him can Goegelein for plagiarizing pieces from several writers while putting together columns for The News-Sentinel in Fort Wayne, Ind.

The Follies of #3

Followers already. Damn. Now I have to keep up adding new GOP cocksuckers and writing this commentary before each one.

Since the first thing GOP Cocksuckers care about is money and they have no conscience, it's practically a given that crooks who don't care where the money comes from appear on the list. In this case, that would be:

GOP Cocksucker #3 RICK RENZI
FORMER CONGRESSMAN FOR THE ARIZONA 1ST

[Whoops. I got him mixed up with GOP Cocksuckers that are Ricks. Namely, #110 (RICK VAN VLEET) and #290 (RICK SMITH). I have to write about this clown from scratch.]

Hokay, Renzi was a three-term congressman for the Arizona 1st. Until he announced in 2007 that he was retiring from Congress, he had made CREW's (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) list of the 20 Most Corrupt Politicians in Congress every damn time. You can look at his latest entry right here: http://www.crewsmostcorrupt.org/files/Renzi%20Final.pdf

It would be unfair to prejudge the man, but I don't think it would be too far off the mark to point out he was so crooked that if he was a rifle, you could use him to shoot around corners. Conspiracy, wire fraud, money laundering, extortion, insurance fraud, there were more counts on Renzi than on a fucking adding machine.

Renzi had always been watched by CREW with a suspicious eye, mainly for shit like taking $30,000 from GOP Cocksucker #54's (TOM DeLAY) ARMPAC and then not giving it back or donating it to charity after DeLay was indicted, but it was his actions involving a land swap in 2006 that got the feds actually looking at him. Basically, Renzi used his position on the House Natural Resources Committee to benefit his former business partner, James Sandlin and himself. It seems Sandlin owed him $800,000 on a promissory note and Renzi used his position to make sure he got that money. (He funneled one $200,000 payment through a wine company, for instance. Renzi said that was to settle a previous land deal, but that was shown to be total bullshit because Renzi did not claim it on his financial disclosure form. Even worse--for HIM anyway--the 200 large had nothing to do with the wine business. "So why is he paying you this money?" you might ask. "He think you have a purdy mouth?" No, to you and I, this looks very much like what's called 'money laundering.')

The investigation into Renzi got some weird treatment from the Drunken Frat Boy administration in 2007. An official from the Department of Justice said to a bunch of reporters that yes, there was a preliminary investigation into Renzi but that he was very concerned about the accuracy of media reports into the investigation. It was extremely unusual for the Justice Department, said the Arizona Republic, to "publicly acknowledge concerns about the accuracy of media reports." The attorney investigating Renzi, Paul Charlton, originally was on a list of people that GOP Cocksucker Kyle Sampson, (NO NUMBER YET) guttersnipe-to-be-feared in the Justice Department, wanted to keep. When Charlton's role in investigating Renzi emerged, he suddenly became one of the infamous fired U.S. attorneys.

In the spring of 2007, the GOP was urging Renzi to retire, saying that his ethical baggage was just too heavy to carry and they might lose the Arizona 1st. That pissed Renzi off because not only did he scream at fellow republican congressman Dan Kirk of Illinois how dare the Republican party run polls in his district (rumors swirled he had tried to strangle Kirk, but these were denied) but the very next day he announced that he was NOT going to quit. Four months later, he had second thoughts. Democrats were rubbing their palms together in unseemly glee at the very thought of being his opponent in the 2008 elections; even REPUBLICANS were lining up to take him on in the primary. He decided to quit.

The last I heard about Renzi was in October of last year. His attorney had made a motion--again--to get the case against him dropped on the grounds that attorney-client privilege had been breached, which sounds like one of those 'technicalities' GOP Cocksuckers scream about.

Currently, Renzi's seat is now held by a Democrat, Ann Kirkpatrick. Kirkpatrick beat the living shit out of her opponent by more than 16 percentage points. Thanks loads, Ricky.

Child Porn And #2

When it comes to the GOP Cocksuckers they like to claim they belong to 'the party of family values.' Remember that? Hell, they started slashing away at the democrats ever since the 80s, using the phrase to include such things as a promotion of tradtional marriage, an opposition to adultery, opposition to sex ed, opposition to pornography, opposition to birth control, support for adoption over abortion, all that stuff. They were pretty ruthless about it, too.

Problem for them is that cleaver has two edges on it. While claming loudly to be the party of family values and portraying the democrats as godless, amoral wackos, a funny thing happened; that other edge started biting into the GOP Cocksuckers as they revealed themselves more and more to be Class AA Hypocrites.

#2 ROBERT McKEE
McKee was a longtime Maryland GOP delegate--longtime as in going back to 1994--when he got his ass caught in a great big crack. Turns out while the FBI was conducting a child porn investigation, it seized two computers, videotapes and printed materials from his house in Hagerstown, PA.

The Washington Post said McKee sponsored bills in 2008 dealing with minors, including the Child Protection From Predators Act and a proposal to collect DNA samples from sexual predators. McKee has sponsored several other sexual offender and child abduction bills in previous years but he was also the executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Washington County, a child mentorship program where he worked for 29 years.

McKee had the presence of mind to be embarrassed about the revelation, which was probably due to the fact that he was considered a political moderate. Had he been one of the dead bang conservatives without a conscience, he probably would have denied anything had happened and that the Media, the liberals and the FBI were conspriring to frame him. However, don't give him too much credit. McKee was a big anti-child porn advocate and the fact that he had been sending away for child porn through the mails since 2004 did not make him a white knight.

[Update: A week later, McKee resigned his position in the state legislature. Seven months later, McKee pled guilty to the charges. Two months later, McKee got three years in the Big House and is scheduled to be released in 2011.

Introduction and #1

Introduction to the List
Some people think GOP Cocksuckers is a epithet. They are wrong. It's a description; one the GOP Cocksuckers have so richly earned. I have been asked several times now to post an updated list of all 313 of the GOP Cocksuckers by some of the folks on the newsgroup alt.impeach.bush, which I claim should be renamed alt.indict.bushorcheney, but so far there has been no action.

I have heard a lot of folks claim that the democrats are just as bad as the republicans. Well, not when you look at the arrest records they aren't. The GOP laps the democrats in that particular category; especially in the area of pedophilia. (Wait till I get to THOSE guys)

Sometimes it's hard to spot a GOP Cocksucker because they are sneaky bastards, However, there are some things common to ALL of them. Here are six to keep in mind, especially when you head into the voting booth:

A. They think ALL voters are idiots and jamooks and you really CAN fool ALL of the people ALL of the time.
B. They are all hypocrites; most of us believe in morality and an afterlife, the GOP Cocksuckers just SAY they believe in both to get your vote. They make a lot of noise about it but the fact of the matter is they have no conscience.
C. They think all of us have THEIR problems.
D. They are quick to scream their disgust and opposition to judicial technicalities....until THEY need them.
E. They loathe the media and claim it's out to destroy the country, when what they REALLY hate is the media telling everyone what THEY are doing.
F. They claim to care about the country, the children, the elderly, etc. etc., but when it comes right down to it, they only care about three things:
1. Money
2. Their own asses.
3. Respect (which they think if they have enough of Number One they should automatically get.)

I get nominations from several places in the web but two have been invaluable. One is www.republicanoffenders.com, which is a wonderful resource for this kind of thing. The second is TPM Muckraker, which has been all over these swine with some terrific factual reporting. These are my major sources for this list. there are others but these are the Big Boys.

I have been asked, do you get cyber hate mail? My answer is, lots, but they have been pretty damned quiet lately. Why? Because for one thing, the GOP really got hammered in the last two election cycles. Seriously. They had the presidency, congress, the supreme court, a majority of the governorships and a majority of the state legislatures. I can't recall at the moment what the numbers were but a significant percentage of voters called themselves republicans. It has dropped precipitously since 2006. I think that's because of all the kids they got killed in Iraq, all because they couldn't admit they'd fucked up and because the economy took a bath and they don't want anything to do with fixing it.

Anyway, here we go:

#1 BRENT WILKES
FORMER DEFENSE CONTRACTOR
Not only did GOP cocksuckers belittle the significance of the 'Jack Who?' Scandal, they got very, very quiet when the subject of the Randy 'Duke' Cunningham bribery case came up.

Probably because it resulted in the conviction of FIVE GOP cocksuckers. And looks like another one might be added to the list with the Kyle 'Dusty' Foggo trial coming up. [UPDATE: Make that SIX. Months later, Foggo pled guilty after his attempt to blackmail the CIA by threatening to reveal secrets--a practice known as 'Graymail'--fell flat. So much for their 'love of country.' He became #273.]

Wilkes paid the Dukester $636,000 in bribes and treated him to lavish meals, gave him gifts, trips and hookers over almost a decade.

Even though he was found guilty on 13 counts, Wilkes continued to deny his guilt. That didn't sit too well with the judge, who tongue-lashed him from the bench. However, he still gave Wilkes 12 years in the Slammer instead of the 25 prosecutors were demanding.
