Watch Stripper Loving Family Values GOP Rep. Robert Mecklenborg’s Arrest
more from Hrafnkell Haraldsson
I wrote yesterday of the arrest of family values Republican representative Robert Mecklenborg for driving while intoxicated. He also had Viagra in his system and a 26-year-old female passenger, a stripper from a local club. In the interest of “full disclosure” – something Mecklenborg apparently embraces to judge by his company at the time, we offer you the arrest video from the state trooper’s dash cam.

This guy is Mr Magoo. What a freaking idiot. The cop is to be commended for not shooting him

I have no idea how cops do this every day and stay so fair and cool. I loved his “You’re not in Ohio” bit.

That cop was amazing. I lost patience and I wasn’t even there. What an idiot.

I know, I was cracking up! First thing I thought was “You’re not in Kansas anymore”

Isn’t this one of the guys who wants to make voting harder by demanding a govt. ID? Now he doesn’t have one. Does that mean he just took away his own rights? IRONY!!!

Yes, of course, such IDs probably would not be required for the top party ranks ;)

Born on April 1 – how fitting he grew into his birthday holiday!!
I hope this video finds a wide audience to again illustrate the hypocrisy of the ‘family values’ gang who so smugly point the finger at others with an eye toward legislating freedom out of the hands of their fellow Americans. I was hoping the tape wouldn’t have stopped before we got to meet his little lady. (I realize they had to protect her privacy.)

Goodness I can’t believe the patience that policeman showed.
In Australia if you refuse a breath test, you go straight to the jail house. We done away with walking in a straight line,etc.

Locally, they’re saying “We marvel, don’t we?”
Myself, I do marvel at the thoroughgoing shamelessness of this era’s Republican Beast.

Why do you even post stories like this? They’re not news anymore.

They’re news when the offender holds himself as one who makes laws while professing his values and morals. They’re hypocrits.

Well he should immediately resign.
You know like Weiner did.

After watching this, I sure will think thrice before drinking and driving. The officer was very nice considering, but oh my, how embarrassing!

Agreed – the cop would have been justified in shooting this idiot to put him out of his misery.
