California Republican pulled over for speeding while giving radio interview

Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Calif.) had to cut short a radio interview Friday morning after a Virginia police officer pulled him over for speeding.

Lungren, who had called into Sacramento station KFBK to discuss internationalizing Megan's Law, stopped moments after the interview began, saying "Uh, uh, I have to get off the phone just a moment here. ... I'm sorry, I'm talking with a police officer here."

While the officer was deciding whether to cite him, the congressman called the station back, and completed the interview in a few minutes.


He was issued a warning.

-------------------------------

Meanwhile Lungren has been criticized in his district by Democratic challenger Ami Bera, who says the highway incident shows that he thinks "the rules don't apply to him and he can get special treatment."

1. ALL Republicans think just this

"the rules don't apply to him/them and he can get special treatment."

2. cell phone users speed up, slow down, and don't use turn signals

because their hands are not free and they are not paying attention.

5. KFBK is the quintessential hate radio station in the Sac valley - Rush got his start there

The station also employed Mark Williams, but to their credit, they fired him.
