Our darling Ohio Republican Representative Robert Mecklenborg has finally resigned after getting arrested for DUI under dubious circumstances last April.
I'd love to play matchmaker between Anthony Weiner and Robert Mecklenborg. They could meet up for a Beer Summit.
Weiner: "I didn't even touch that girl."
Mecklenborg: "Neither did I, but man-o-man I sure came close. And I HATE wasting a dose of Viagra like that--If ya know what I mean."
Weiner: "You? You've got no complaints. No one called for your resignation. You weren't on CNN's front page for days on end."
Mecklenborg (with a rheumy smile): "I know. Ya shoulda picked Ohio. Ya shoulda picked the other party. Hell, a tweet? No one would ever have said a thing." (knocks back a shot of Jameson) "Christ awmighty, I got flat-out busted for driving drunk and hardly anyone noticed. As long as you wave the flag, talk pro-life and pro-gun, they don't care what you do."
For a poetic touch, maybe they could have this blessed exchange in the brand-spanking-new fully stocked bar* in the Ohio State House.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
*Yo Gov? Are we allowed to take our guns in your new bar too?
Behold a dyed-in-the-wool god-fearing Republican during his DUI arrest.
Robert Mecklenborg is an Ohio State Representative.
He managed to keep this little gem under wraps for NINE weeks. His companion was a "young woman." Funny thing is I haven't seen this covered except in local news. Jeez, wasn't Weiner's scandal headline news across the "liberal" media for days?
Mecklenborg was jacked on booze, Viagra and some other drug. Read more about the arrest from his home territory here.
In the vid, you'll see how Mecklenborg seems more worried about what's going to happen to his car than the woman inside of it. Odd, seeing as Mecklenborg just gave an impassioned anti-abortion speech before the state legislature. Looks like that might bite him in the ass. Anyone who thinks this clown cares one toot about unborn children or their mothers is utterly delusional.
Although Mecklenborg can't wait to get his hands on my womb, he doesn't want anyone asking him questions about the woman and what he was doing in Indiana driving a car with Kentucky plates.
"I understand the interest in the DUI part, I guess, but the rest is a personal matter," Mecklenborg said.
Sex scandals usually leave me cold. I agree that a politician is entitled to privacy, but I'm having a hard time keeping my nonjudgemental fence up with this charmer. He is one scumbag full of hypocrisy.
The righties wanted to skewer Weiner for a twitter post and they succeeded. They tried to make it a referendum on the entire left contingent. Even though Weiner's sex scandal was virtually sexless, they were outraged over Nancy Pelosi's slow move to judgement.
Well then, let's dig what Mecklenborg's rightie friends are saying:
Alex Triantafilou, chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party, said Thursday that party leaders are "assessing" the matter.
"It's a tough situation," Triantafilou said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Bob and his family."
