DEL.ICIO.USMore on that Linder 911 call
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Our Cox colleague in Washington, Julia Malone, has more details today on the May 15 incident in which U.S. Rep. John Linder (R-GA) had to be helped outside a Capitol Hill bar and restaurant.
You can get the full account here.
The highlights or these: 911 records show that Linder suffered from “difficulty breathing” or an “allergic reaction.”
Linder’s reaction to the 911 report are that a bum knee had been giving him trouble.
“This is a knee that was injured in February, and I re-injured by slipping on something,” Linder told Malone. “It could have been allergic reaction or trouble breathing. All I know is that I was hurt badly. I was helped out of the place.”

Linder is too fat to be having sex in the mens room. He needs to cut back.
And, from his look in the picture, step away from the dessert table. Oink.

I happen to have some inside information about John, and let’s just say his problem isn’t with his knee. It’s with his elbow, which keeps bending toward his mouth. His hand usually has a glass in it, which usually contains his favorite adult beverage. Some people just don’t understand that Republicans are all degenerate drunks and perverts, and John Linder is no exception. The poor obese moron is an alcoholic. He needs help, and he refused it when he passed out on the sidewalk outside Bullfeathers. It’s so sad.

John was seen the next day at a local Town Hall Meeting with no knee problems. I think we all know what the problem was at Bullfeathers………….

You guys are pathetic. I would expect nothing less from a lib- God hates trash, or a dim witted libertarian like Tom. Do you guys ever get sick of being foregone conclusions? I view this type of attack as a sign of my effectiveness. I will keep up the good work. I am encouraged! Peace.

That ole boy ought to find a hole and pull in after him. What was he doing at the bar? Cruising, drinking or both?
That, ladies and gentlemen is one of your Georgia Repugnicans. What a credit he is to the GOP. I note that no censure came from his colleagues, no recall from his constiutency. Evidently, fat, drunk, bathroom cruisers are in this year.
Tsk. Tsk. Betty Boop

Hush yourself, Betty Boop. Save your nanny like lectures for someone who will listen. Try your husband, If you have been able to keep one. You sound like my brother’s first and second wives. They were wrong all the time and loud all the time. Geesh!!
Further, I did not take the Lord’s name in vain. God Hates Trash is a poster here on the AJC. This is the second time you have misquoted me. You are either stupid, or it is on purpose. Which is it? Peace.

My notion is that Betty Boop is stupid, Church. But that is just a gut reaction.

Betty is stupid. I am certain. She doesn’t seem like the kind that would read the entire thread. She just goes off half cocked.
