| Idaho state senator's sons arrested, cited in flag damage incident BOISE, Idaho (AP) - The adult sons of an Idaho state senator are in hot water with authorities in Idaho's capital city after two American flags dedicated to soldiers killed in Iraq were vandalized. Twenty-four-year-old Michael Burkett was arrested and 22-year-old Thomas Burkett was cited for allegedly damaging flags and flagpoles on the grounds of the Idaho Capitol building this morning. Police say Michael Burkett also resisted and obstructed officers. "Unhand me you peasants! Don't you know who I am?" Boise Police say one flag pole had been bent so the flag was lying on the ground, the other had been pulled from the ground. As an encore, perhaps they should be given a chance to bend a lamppost. Their father is Boise Senator Mike Burkett, a Democrat facing Republican Charles Seldon in Tuesday's election. Wasn't Burkett the name of the disgruntled colonel turned moonbat who "discovered" the Bush Guard memos? I wonder if he's a relative or just a kindred spirit with the same name. In any case, Dem apologists will be wondering how much Karl Rove paid the little bastards to do this. Senator Burkett says he thinks his sons are innocent, while the boys' mother, Sharon Burkett, says the entire event was a "misunderstanding." >#$^&*! What could they have misunderstood? "Sorry, boys, we raised you as good progressives but you have to hide your real feelings about imperialist mercenaries and their evil flag if you want to help daddy get elected." What's so hard about that? |

| #4 actually, just googled him and he is a State Senator for Boise. So that the Statesman is carrying it will have an impact. Lots of National Guard members in Boise as there is a large national guard unit either in Boise or nearby. |

| #3 Idaho Statesman I checked the on-line papers for Idaho Falls and Pocatello and it didn't mention it. I'm sure they would have if he had been a Republican - seeing as how he is a Senator. Acorn doesn't fall far from the tree. |
