-Lurid Crime Tales-
SC congressional candidate arrested for drunk driving with co-ed in the car

Here's how to ruin your chances at winning a U.S. congressional seat:

Get arrested for driving under the influence and unlawfully possessing a firearm, with a female college student who is not your wife in the car.

Democratic South Carolina state Rep. Ted Vick, who describes himself as "businessman, a farmer, a pastor, a sportsman, a soldier and a state representative," was pulled over early Thursday morning after an evening of drinking in downtown Columbia, S.C., according to a police report.
Whoa! They named the party! Oh, right, it's South Carolina...
The State newspaper reported that Vick met the University of South Carolina student at Delaney's Pub in Five Points and continued drinking at Jake's Bar and Grill. Vick offered her a ride home, the report said, but his car was pulled over at 1:12 a.m. for driving 44 miles per hour in a 30 miles per hour zone.

After Vick refused to take a sobriety test or a field test, he was taken to a local detention center, where officers found that the state congressman was carrying a Kel-Tec .380-caliber pistol in his front pocket. He had not told officers about the weapon, and his concealed weapons permit had expired in 2007, the police report said.

The young woman who made Vick's acquaintance was not charged in the incident, The State reported. A graduate of The Citadel, Vick is married, has two young girls and was a lieutenant colonel in the S.C. Army National Guard.
Emphasis on 'was'...
"As a trained minister of the Gospel, Ted is a strong believer in traditional southern family values," his website reads.

#4  "Vick is an open supporter of the U.S. capitalist system"
A revealing statement.

#5  “As a trained minister of the Gospel, Ted is a strong believer in traditional southern family values,” his website reads.

...traditional southern family values? Are southern family values different from eastern, western, or northern family values?

Barack Obama's marijuana smoking days with the 'Choom Gang'

#1  Reads like he was a real doper. Must be the part of his life where he formed his theories on our economy.
Posted by: JohnQC || 05/25/2012 16:51 Comments || Top||

#2  All told, the future president is said to have been a bit of a drag. "When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted 'Intercepted!,' and took an extra hit,"

This puts Obama's claim to moral superiority in context.

#3  Barack Hussein Bogart...

#4  To gauge how in-tune he was... we really need to know if he used the paper in the Cheech & Chong album and was it filled with Maui Wowie when he rolled and smoked that fat cigar! (pins don't count!) If not he was just another want-a-be light weight!

#5  "Big Bambu" - I had that album

#7  Up in Smoke Economic Theory?

All told, the future president is said to have been a bit of a drag. "When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted 'Intercepted!,' and took an extra hit,"

Ah, he's That Guy.

#8  That Guy™ inevitably wore bong water before the night was over (back in my day). A real asshole

#9  so was this Bambi drug thing a real life episode or a composite or is it still evolving?

Seriously. Sounds a bit too cool for the guy who went on to out-dork Urkel. On the other hand, enforcing his own "affirmative joint action" rings true.

#10  Not surprised he was a Bogart, wonder if he ****er lipped the joint also.

#4  Surrounded by p*rn stars? I thought that was his natural habitat...

#8  The nickname 'Slick Willy' is starting to take on a meaning I never considered before.
Posted by: SteveS || 05/25/2012 14:30 Comments || Top||

#9  Let's just pretend we have no idea what you mean by that, because it is just too disgusting,
Posted by: RandomJD || 05/25/2012 19:09 Comments || Top||

#10  Since he was surrounded we should be glad that they were female not male stars? Not sure there is enough sandpaper for my eyes with the other...
