Drunk Woman Tells Cops They Don't Need To Arrest Her 'Because She's A Republican'

This woman's political affiliation couldn't keep her out of the slammer.

Charlene Idelle Hunziker, 47, is accused of making a huge scene at a P.F. Chang’s in West Des Moines, Iowa on Friday night, according to West Des Moines Patch.

Employees had tried to throw Hunziker out of the restaurant after she went on a political rant expounding on the virtues of Mitt Romney and the evil intentions of President Obama. The diner who called police said he feared the woman might try to hurt one of the employees.

When an officer arrived at the scene, Hunziker reportedly told the cop he didn't need to be there and he should leave, according a police report obtained by The Huffington Post. Apparently to justify her claim, Hunziker reportedly screamed that "she was a Republican."

A witness told police Hunziker had been screaming at customers about how "Obama had ruined this country and Muslims were causing America all these problems.”

When asked if she would consent to a breathalyzer test, the officer who filed the report said Hunziker "began to yell at me about Governor Romney and her rights."

The report also said Hunziker justified her behavior by explaining that "she was doing this because she was a good mother.”

Hunziker was charged with public intoxication.

a coworker, new on the dating scene, had me critique his online profile. I said, "Let's start with the first four words...."I am a conservative"......any woman worth dating will read that as, "I am an uptight asshole."

...the infectious disease that's already reached epidemic proportions and severely threatens democracy every day. Just one of many ugly examples of it, but at least she outed herself and it was picked up by the press.

One more reason why this election is so important; God help us if this insanity gets any more of an upper hand.

So much for their claims of more feminine and lady-like behavior amongst Rethug women. Entitled harpy.

Ordinarily I find drunken stupid people annoying, but I somewhat wish I had been there. It might have been fun watching the police drag her out.
