One of the things that really made Posey cry? Getting made fun of by Stephen Colbert!

[CatWoman]

COLBERT: I am demanding a DNA test to determine whether Florida Congressmen are part alligator. I have had enough of the reckless whispering. But the rumor is, that the morning after the great Okeechobee Hurricane in 1928, Posey's grandmother got stranded with a gator, and fell in love. Now, obviously I don't want to go into any details, but they say the swamp rang with her screams of ecstasy, mingled with the insistent but gentle hissing of her reptilian Romeo.

Back in April, Posey whined to the Sentinel: "I expected there would be some civil debate about it, but it wasn't civil...Just a bunch of name-calling and personal denigration...There is no reason to say that I'm the illegitimate grandson of an alligator.

" JUST PUT THE RUMORS TO REST, MR. POSEY! :rofl:

3. As far as I know, he isn't the illegitimate grandson of an alligator. n/t

4. So what if some people say he is, we're pretty sure he isn't as far as we know.

:D

6. Can he produce an original marriage license?

Can we say for sure that his grandmother and the alligator were legally married in the eyes of God and the State of Florida? I'm not sure if the concept of illegitimacy extends past the birth generation, but if it does, I think that Posey owes it to America to produce the original marriage license, otherwise, we have no choice but to speculate on whether he is the illegitimate offspring of his grandmother and an alligator.

Simple solution, produce the original, long form marriage license, you bastard!
