Repug knocks himself out stealing signs LOL

For sign pilferer, politicians aren't only ones falling flat on their face

A Lakewood Republican stealing campaign signs late one night got nabbed when he ran across a low- hanging driveway chain, fell face first onto a pilfered sign and the concrete and knocked himself unconscious.

Randal Wagner, 50, was loaded into an ambulance, treated at Lutheran Medical Center for abrasions and facial cuts and issued a summons.

Wagner, who unsuccessfully tried to steal a "Dave Thomas" congressional sign that evening, had signs for other Democratic candidates in his Toyota pickup, Wheat Ridge police reported.

"I did a very stupid thing," Wagner said Monday, admitting theft of the signs. "I got caught up in the political passions of this highly contested election."

3. I helped a guy with a Bush / Cheney 2004 sticker push his car

and a "one nation under god" and the classic jesus fish. he was probaly in his late 20's. And I have a couple pins on my messenger bag that say wes clarke and john kerry and he obviously was looking at them for a sec but we didn't say anything about it. we were on a busy street and I was the only one who helped him out. hopefully he pondered our meeting after i left.

4. Love that story!

...I was the only one who helped him out.

Wonderful!

Side note: If he had the fish, he probably was surprised you didn't burn his Bible or try to turn him gay!
