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
