TOP NEWS STORY: Pelosi has Stark Arrested on Charges of Vagrancy
Edited on Sat Oct-20-07 11:27 AM by tom_paine
WASHINGTON (BPLSMLL) - This morning, in a move which shocked few, the FBI dispatched agents to the Washington DC townhouse of California Democratic Representative Pete Stark to make an unusual arrest.

Stark was harshly kicked out of his bed while eating crackers, handcuffed and taken to the DC Police station downtown on charges of vagrancy.

Some Constitutional and Legal scholars say Mr. Stark's arrest was a clear violation of the 4th and 6th amendments, but other more prominent and respected Constitutional and Legal Scholars have disagreed, saying the arrest for vagrancy was perfectly legal and in line with the Founding Fathers' vision for the USA.

"I think the whole notion that it is impossible for people to be vagrants while owning homes is an absurd and elitist liberal imposition on our nation," said David Hororwitz a Senior Global Mega Fellow with the Insititute for Academic Freedom, " A strict construction of the Constitution shows no such right of being safe from vagrancy arrest while at home exists. There is therefore no inherent right implicit in the Constitution and the Liberals, as always, have no leg to stand on. It's laughable, really. These moonbats..."

Mr. Horowitz then choked with laughter on his cheese danish.

Another prominent and respected Constitutional Scholar, talk-show radio host Michael Savage, had this to say, "These Liberals just don't get the message. All they understand is violence. Do you hear what I am saying? If we kill 10% of their population, the rest will understand we mean business. And while I have called for the murder of one-hundred million Muslims before http://mediamatters.org/items/200604190001 , cleaning up the Liberal Problem should take far fewer deaths. I estimate no more than SIX million would be required, and that's not even getting our hair mussed," quipped Savage coyly.

Representative Stark was apoplectic, and was last seen on blurred CNNMSNBCFOXCBSGEDISNEY video screaming, "How can I be a vagrant? I own a home! I own three homes!"

We were told by Dana Perino that Stark later needed to be tranquilized for his own protection and safety.

Pelosi had this to say on the arrest, "If Mr. Stark thinks his wearing of an Impeach Bush t-shirt makes him immune from the laws and morals of the Homeland, then he is in for a rude awakening. I only hope this sets a precedent for all the ne'er do wells and vagrants in America. Mr. Chertoff recently told me there may be as many as 74% of Americans who are vagrants, and we MUST stop this epidemic before it disturbs Washington's cocktail parties and banquets."

Officials at the Office for Heimat Security and National Mental Health said Mr. Stark will undergo special therapy at the George HW Bush Hospital in Langley, VA, after which he will make a full statement of apology and a hollow-eyed confession of his crimes against the Leader and the State.


Uh oh, I think I violated DU copyright rules by posting more than four 'graphs. SOMEBODY ALERT A MODERATOR!

8. Wow. Your comment was pretty fucking rude and unnecessary. No offense.
I said "no offense" so that makes it all good, right?

15. Yeah. But be careful, some of these little crybabies will scream "Slander" at you for telling the
truth about them. "If you tell the truth about me, I'll sue you for slander, cause the truth is off-limits."

Too fuckin' funny. :rofl:

4. Excellent!

Thank you.

Here is my email to Speaker Pelosi,

Madame Speaker,

You state in your rebuke to Mr. Stark in response to his passionate remarks re S-CHIP that this comments distracted from the serious subject at hand.

On the contrary, I accuse you of distraction by your weak-kneed and inappropriate public condemnation of fellow Democrats, Stark and Democratic activists, MoveOn and Code Pink. Buying in to the Republican faux outrage of the opinions of Democrats perpetuates the distraction from the issues at hand; thus, your response was politically inept. Democrats deserve better than a Speaker who consistently capitulates to Republican talking points. A better response, a democratic response, would have been to point out that is the Republicans who are attempting to raise a smoke-screen to cover their failure to represent America's childern and the will of 80% of the American population.




Edited for grammatical errors.

6. I tried to catch the catual phrasing and frame, exaggerated only a little
Edited on Sat Oct-20-07 01:56 PM by tom_paine
that is customary in at least 50% of "news" stories.

Stark was "apoplectic".

Savage "quipped coyly".

It would be funnier if that wasn't that actual state and condition of whatever remains of our once-vaunted Free Press.

7. You did a good job with the phrasing.
It may not be haha funny but as in all intelligent satire, it is wittily spot on.

And, unfortunately, you are correct about the state of our Free Press.

14. Pelosi acts just like a Republican
constantly, consistently.

...and here she is, Speaker of a Democratic House.

Unbelievable.

She must go, no question.
