Sen. James DeMint (R-SC) drives like an asshole!!!

[NewWaveChick1981]

:grr: On my way home from Atlanta yesterday, I was driving through SC below Greenville on I-85, and there was this idiot in a silver Grand Marquis driving like a jerkoff. :mad: Kept speeding up, slowing down, speeding up, slowing down, over and over.... I was driving at a steady speed, but when he was slow, I'd pass him. He'd speed up and pass a whole line of cars (doing about 90 mph), then when he had passed, go slow again. :eyes: He was talking on his cell phone all during this. I also noticed he had a funky license plate but didn't get close enough to actually see what it said. I got a good look at him one of those times, and he looked like a businessman in a suit (on a Sunday afternoon). I stopped a little further up the road to get gas, and there was a Dairy Queen right beside the gas station. Lo and behold, Idiot Boy was in line at the DQ drive-thru. I wanted to see what kind of a license plate the jerk had, so I got back in my car and drove close enough to read it. Holy crap! It said "UNITED STATES SENATOR" and was a South Carolina tag that was a special design. The only number on the license plate was 1. (Gee, how self-serving...Hoo-wee!!! I'm Number One!!!!) I drove back around to the gas station and filled up, then I hit the road again.

Well, guess who passed me a little while later, eating a DQ ice cream cone AND talking on his cell phone at the same time and not paying attention to the road???? :rofl: I lost him about half an hour later, thank goodness. I knew SC had only Repuke senators, so I knew it was either DeMint or Lindsay Graham. DeMint is actually from the Greenville area, so I figured it was him. When I got home, I looked up his website, and sure enough, that's who it was.

South Carolina should be proud of its Repuke senators. They drive safely and do such a good job in Washington. :sarcasm: Maybe he should have been driving one of the VW Asshats we talked about a few days ago.... :rofl:

I guess he saves hurting people for the Senate Chamber.

5. I suggest we get a South Carolinian DUer to call DeMint's office

and call for two House Resolutions condemning ice-cream eating and another condemning cell=phone conversations while driving.

We can get every Lounge Lizard and a few other DUers to sign a petition requesting same, then he'll be sure to bring it up on the House floor (as long as he doesn't know it was done through us).

And then--pass the popcorn--we can all watch and laugh hysterically at the House hearings together--not to mention swarming the office with phone calls to the effect of, well...

BOOGITY-BOOGITY!

My hubby's just now getting up today and so I'm a bit on the weird side of humor, I must admit.

[NewWaveChick1981]

10. ROFLMAO!

:rofl: I wanna see those hearings on C-SPAN!!! I will be happy to testify as a witness.

:hi: I love your humor, so keep it as weird as you can! :rofl:

[NewWaveChick1981]

11. OK, since the Labor Day holiday is over, I suggest we get

a petition going. :rofl: :hi:

15. Gotta get ready for work now, but maybe this afternoon.

Wouldn'ja just once like to give the sanctimonious bastards a dose?

Just once?!

13. Doesn't SC still have the highest fatal DUI-caused crash rate in the U.S.?

Nothing against our wonderful DU members from the Palmetto State, I'm sure none of you would ever consider driving drunk, but--the last time I looked at the number of fatal car accidents in each state across the nation on a bar graph, S.C.'s numbers, especially those that were caused by drivers impaired by substances, were off. the. chart. So I guess I'm not surprised that one of the state's prominent officials, particularly a Republican one, drives like a maniac, too.

[NewWaveChick1981]

14. That sounds about right.

I had seen similar statistics a while back. Every time I drive in SC, I see more idiot drivers on the road than in NC or GA (and that includes Atlanta). Unfortunately, I think you're right. :(
