Drunk Woman to cops: No jail, I'm Republican

She thought otherwise, but an Iowa woman's political leanings couldn't keep her out of the slammer.

Employees at a P.F. Chang's restaurant in West Des Moines had tried to remove Charlene Hunziker, 47, after she went on a political rant extolling the virtues of Mitt Romney and screaming about how "Obama had ruined this country," West Des Moines Patch reported.

A customer called police, fearing Hunziker could hurt one of the employees.

When officers arrived, Hunziker told them they didn't need to be there because she's a Republican.

After refusing to leave, she fought officers trying to handcuff her and later told them "she was doing this because she was a good mother," according to Patch.

Hunziker has been charged with public intoxication.

Ahh yes, I remember when I was a child and my mother would get drunk and fight with the cops. Happy memories all, like the time when she puked in the punch bowl at my 8th grade dance.

Act like a besotted ass, then demand "special" treatment because you are a republican and therefore have a built in excuse for being a raving hypocrite law-breaking degenerate a-hole.

How many times have Republicans pulled this particular BS? Uncountable.
