So, you think the NBA is full of gangsta

[Jerkovich]

Here is an interesting question for all you sports fans. Are the following problems associated with the NBA or the NFL?
1. 36 have been accused of spousal abuse
2. 7 have been arrested for fraud
3. 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
4. 117 directly or indirectly have bankrupted at least 2 companies
5. 3 have done jail time for assult
6. 71 (I repeat) 71 cannot get a credit card due to their bad debt
7. 17 have been arrested on drug related charges
8. 8 have been arrested on shop lifting charges
9. 21 are currently defendants in a lawsuit
10. 84 were arrested last year for DUI

Due these stats reflect badly on the NBA or the NFL?
































NEITHER! These are the stats of our 435 members of Congress!!! And they want us to send our money to them!! And they make the laws we are to live by?

I think we all need to go to the polls and over the next couple of elections CLEAN THE HOUSE literally!!!!!

10. 84 were arrested last year for DUI

These are the stats of our 435 members of Congress!!!

I'll go ahead and call bullshit on that one.

Look it up yourself, Mr. Jurist.

[Diego in Seattle]

It's time to off yourself if you're having to resort to c&p'ing emails that have gone completely around the interwebs multiple times.

Eat a gun, Kev.

[smackaholic]

I am fairly sure none were arrested for dui last year. I'd bet anything that a few were pulled overand went to the "do you know who I am" card and skated.

I would believe that 84 have been arrested for it in their lifetime.

[LTS TRN 2]

Jerk, how about starting phony wars? C'mon, forget the trivial shit--the overdue library books--and bring the heavy indictments. You can do it, I see you're a little detective.

[Mikey]

Bwahaahah
Once again outed as an ignorant dumbfuck.

"If I get it in my email and I like it, it must be true."

Jeez Kev, how did you ever survive this long?

[H4ever]

Aren't we all supposed to forward that to at least 10 message boards or have bad luck for 7 years or something?

[Jerkovich]

There isn't 435 members of congress right now.

The United States House of Representatives, commonly referred to as "the House", is one of the two chambers of the United States Congress; the other is the Senate. Each state receives representation in the House in proportion to its population but is entitled to at least one Representative. The most populous state, California, currently has 53 representatives. The total number of voting representatives is currently fixed at 435. You lose.

The impeachment arose from allegations that Hastings conspired with a friend to accept $150,000 for giving two convicted swindlers a break in sentencing.

At this point I think it's become obvious that he has transcended mere dumfuckery, but I'm currently at a loss to come up with a better descriptive term.

So after you dug yourself in a hole, you decide the best thing for you to do would be to dig deeper? Dude.

Go ahead, document JUST ONE member of Congress who was "arrested for drunk driving in the last year". Can you do even that?

One within the past year, you say? That's not hard. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2008/05 ... e_c-1.html

Btw, this one happens to be much worse than your garden-variety drunk driving. Unfortunately for Kev, however, it also happens to come from his side of the aisle. This isn't going very well for him.
