Cheney Understands ... Sometimes You Just Need To Strangle the Bitch

Thanks, Sparkle Pony! - WonketteRemember Don Sherwood, the 65-year-old Pennsylvania congressman who got busted for reportedly trying to strangle this young gal he was fucking?

Dick Cheney raised $180,000 for the Pennsylvania Strangler at a fundraiser held in some mansion in Centermoreland Township last month. Bush even did one of those “Vote for the Strangler” phone messages.

Democrat Chris Carney is leading in the race, mostly because of Sherwood’s bizarre sex scandal.

“Sherwood Denies Choking Woman” was the first hilarious headline in the Wilkes-Barre Times Leader. The next day’s headline is just as good: “Republicans rallying to help Sherwood get past report.” More fun, after the jump.

It was eventually revealed that Sherwood started fucking the girl shortly after he came to Washington — when she was just 23. He picked her up at some Young Republicans party.

The strangling incident happened last May, reportedly because Sherwood was pissed off that she was late getting to his apartment, so during a “back rub” he choked her.

She ran into the bathroom, locked the door and called 911 from her cell phone.

Sherwood managed to quiet the scandal by buying off the girl, who sued him for $5.5 million and accused of him of regularly beating the crap out of her. He bravely denied the charges, although he eventually admitted the adulterous affair.

They reached a private settlement and the police made no arrests. So, other than the claims of psychotic violence, it’s not much different from the Foley Scandal. Except Foley had to resign, while Sherwood is propped up by Cheney and Bush. Sherwood also gets rave reviews from the Christian Coalition, American Conservative Union and American Family Association, natch.

An old and married Republican car dealer gets elected to Congress, immediately picks up a young thing from the Young Republicans, fucks and (allegedly) beats her for five or six years with impunity, then goes into some insane rage one night and (allegedly) tries to strangle her. What would you call that?

Those who guessed “a political smear” get a gold star, because that’s exactly what Sherwood called it!

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after...

A deep wound waiting to be healed - restoring order and dignity in the city cemetery

Image
The Watkinsville City Cemetery is an oasis amidst the houses on the east side of the municipality, near the neighborhood once called Sidney. There is a large section of the cemetery that remains a mystery, but perhaps we can work together to dignify the eternal resting spot somewhat better than the current neglected and forgotten (not to mention unmarked) graves of 70 people, more than likely of African-American descent. They deserve to be honored as well. An effort has been undertaken to repair the graves with fill dirt to stop the continued erosion amongst the graves. The most recent grave and bench belong to Larry Sheats,  and as any one who played basketball at Herman C. Michael Park or knew him otherwise  can attest, he was among the best people this county has ever seen. Larry was always ready to help. Now it is our turn to help. Do it for someone you knew there, maybe the Hardens, or the Downs, or any number of other people, but allow me to reminisce about how L...

I strongly disagree with the impending demolishing of the iconic Watkinsville Water Tower

Image
I know the Watkinsville Water Tower near where the "Big Spring" of what was one called Big Springs, Georgia serves no functional purpose anymore. I know it is a hazard. I know it is rusty and old and past its usefulness for the most part. I see a purpose beyond the aesthetic and instead as a possible financial benefit.  I know there is a way to keep it and make money for our municipality. I wonder who is doing the seemingly shoddy job of removing it (or at least preparing to raze it) and who stands to make money off that?  The dismantling of the Watkinsville Water Tower has already caused one gas leak and I can only imagine what problems await the demolition of the dinosaur.  If it is only because a group of kids have been crawling up it, then build a fence around it. I would think the City of Watkinsville would benefit and making monthly lease fees if they would instead do what about 90% of these abandoned water towers do and that is become a cellular telephone tow...
