The benefit of being a Bush supporter

[deutsey]

A conservative friend of mine (yes, I do have one or two of them) told me this morning that he got pulled over for speeding this morning (doing 62 in a 50 mph zone).

He said the state trooper came up to the window and asked to see his license and registration. As he looked them over, the trooper said, "Is that a Bush sticker on your car bumper?"

My friend, who is actually no longer a big supporter of Bush and has even expressed disgust with him, said he was a little embarrassed but acknowledged that it was indeed a Bush sticker.

The trooper said, "In that case, I'm just going to give you a warning this morning."

Then, when he saw my friend's little daughter in the backseat, he ran over to his patrol car and returned with a stuffed toy that he gave her.

When my friend ribbed me about maybe getting a Bush sticker for my car, I said I'd rather just pay the fricking ticket. We'll all be paying for the Bush junta's crimes and incompetence for years to come anyway, so what's a speeding ticket but a tiny drop in the bucket?

1. That's a disgrace. If the shoe were on the other foot,

this story would be headline news on Faux.

2. you should tell your friend that he'd be better off with

FOP and Fireman support stickers, plus then he'd actually be supporting people who do good things.

4. You need to report this...

to the department the trooper belonged to. I would imagine what he did is illegal.

6. I've thought about it, but if I did, the trooper would be probably get promoted
