What happens when you cross a family values Republican Congressman with Soccer Dad?
http://www.sunherald.com/pageone/story/1793477.html

Former U.S. Rep. Chip Pickering and a youth league soccer coach fought after a weekend game, and now investigators are trying to figure out who started the scuffle, police said Monday.

Hester told The Associated Press he didn’t know who Pickering was when the politician approached his vehicle. Hester also said he was wearing a neck brace because of a recent surgery when Pickering pulled him from his Nissan Armada. They had to be pulled apart by spectators, he said.

“I tried to explain to him, ‘Sir, I don’t know who you are. I don’t know who your son is.’ He just blew up,” Hester said. “He proceeds to start threatening and yelling at me. It scared the crap out of the kids in my car.”

Pickering, a Republican who served 12 years in the U.S. House, often ran on a family-values platform and used photos of his five sons in his campaign material.

In July, Leisha Pickering sued a Jackson woman, claiming Chip Pickering had an affair with the woman that ruined the Pickerings’ marriage and derailed his political career.

Yeah, you read that right. He tried to beat up an older man wearing a neck brace.

1. "Neck brace? That's just a fancy stiff collar!"
running around, playing the field while losing sight of your goal(s). sounds like a family tradition.



*this post was paid for by the Leisha Pickering "show my husband to be the asshole he is" campaign*


:sarcasm:
