Edwards Campaign Worker Arrested

An Edwards Campaign worker has been charged by Baton Rouge Police. BRPD charged 33-year- old Tanya Leigh Flores of Alexandria, Va with resisting a police officer, disobeying a police officer, and issued her several parking violations.

Police say Flores drove her van into an area reserved for police and news media to unload campaign materials. They say they attempted to get Ms. Flores to move to a different area to unload and she refused numerous times. Then they tell us a Secret Service agent was summoned who, again, asked Ms Flores to move her van, and she again refused.

Flores was arrested, transported to first district where she was processed and released with a summons.

But...but...those laws were written for the "little people", not the annointed ones who have the vision and the courage to see the brilliance that exudes from both John Kerry and John Edwards!

Evil Secret Service agent! First, intentionally causing John Kerry to fall, now trying to do no less than (gasp) prevent the good folks of Louisiana from getting their Kerry/Edwards signs!

It's Bush's fault, for sure!

[My2Cents]

A painful way for one of those who think they are above the law to learn they are not.

[Petronski]

A gaffe a day keeps President Kerry away.

[theDentist]

"Do you know who I am?"

[Bob]

How in the world does the Secret Service get involved in a local traffic matter? I could (barely) understand it if the candidate were involved but this makes no sense.

[we_will_prevail]

A gaffe a day keeps President Senator Kerry away.

[Petronski]

There's no need to keep "Senator" Kerry away, he never shows up to begin with.

[veronica]

Sounds like a severe case of "don't you know who I am??!"-itis...

[Petronski]

How in the world does the Secret Service get involved in a local traffic matter?

If she interfered with security, it's not local. Or, he might have been trying to help local police by asking, as a courtesy.

[no dems]

To me this is nothing but blatant, authoritative harrassment because she is a minority. I bet those Louisiana cops wouldn't have done a thing if her surname was Boudreaux or Thibodeaux. Yeah! Uh Huh! I am in such despair over this! (Sarc.)

[Viking2002]

But liberals only think the rules apply to other people, don'cha know?

[BluSky]

Arrogance on parade.

Just sit back and enjoy.
(large </smirk> on face)

[Revolting cat!]

"You just wait till we win in November!"

[pke]

Someone forgot to tell her that Kerry socialists are only above the law if they win the election.

[Revolting cat!]

Death penalty would be too kind to Tanya!

[jimboster]

She sounds like a goon.

[AgThorn]

no doubt this was simply a political move, all orchestrated by Bush and the right-wing conspiracy. < not! >

[shiva]

Ton Daschle is deeply saddened!

[lormand]

"How in the world does the Secret Service get involved in a local traffic matter?"

The Secret Service trumps all.

Besides, anyone with a car bomb can claim to be a campaign worker unloading campaign material.

[chainsaw]

Don't you know the law doesn't apply to VIP democrats.

[NDJeep]

Sounds like she learned her respect for law enforcement from the liberal elite; Clintoon, Billary, and Scary Kerry

[BobbyK]

Once again, {what rule of law?}
that don't apply to the high and mighty.

[txlurker]

Everyone associated with this bunch is out of control!

[Damagro]

Security zone. Never, ever argue with the secret service, even if you're right you will not win.

[Bob]

Good points. I hadn't thought about it that way.

[lormand]

I'm impressed! You spelled Boudreaux and Thibodeaux correctly. You must be from East Texas.

[stockpirate]

One must remeber, that during his speech he spoke about being a Lt. in the Navy, not a Senetor in the US Congress.

Soooooooooooooooooo, we should say Lt. Kerry.

[Baynative]

Was she driving the OFFICIAL Kerry campaign bus?

...AND was it full of official Kerry campaign workers? ...

[PeterFinn]

Must be a former Clinton appointee with behavior like that.

[Republicus2001]

Do you know who I am?

frankly my dear I'm afraid you have mistaken me for someone who gives a Shiite.

[no dems]

Yep. Right on the Louisiana line on I-10.

[AmericanMade1776]

Another Democrat Loony Goon.

[rineaux]

so sad it wasn't in new orleans, the cops their would have beat her like a baby seal than asked her to move the vehicle

[lormand]

Vidor?

[monkeywrench]

Maybe when the cops told her to leave, she pointed to a secret service agent and contemptously said, 'I'm with stupid'.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Will John Edwards take her case? Oh, I forgot-she doesn't make enough money.

[Clintons Are White Trash]

Luckily, reinforcements were on the way..

[Tacis]

I'm sure this would not have happened had she simply mentioned that fact that Kerry served in Nam and, in fact, had spent a whole summer vacation there!

[TexasTransplant]

Hey... I know how to pronounce Benoit and Bergeron and I'm in South Texas.

[billhilly]

"....eaux, as in dough, as in deaux balls to catch dem carp. Row as in pereaux. It even can be used as part of the name of a United States Senator, such as Breaux.

[FormerACLUmember]

Laws don't apply to crooked lawyers, democrats, and other sociopaths.

[Grampa Dave]

Apparently al Ghorroid was wrong.

In this case there was a Controlling Legal Authority!

[Chode]

and the hits just keep right on coming!!!

[olde north church]

Puppy is wisely seeking a better class of company.

[cajungirl]

Baton Rouge cops are really nice is you are really sweet to them. They are softies for women who cry,,every time they stop me speeding I fake a cry and say my husband is going to be so mad at me. Then they just warn me, sternly, no ticket. I will bet this gal had a lip.

[Bogey78O]

I had a friend from Alaska ask me "Where is Ho-uma(pronounced that way)?"

He also asked me "Why do you say 'Ge-ox' Tigers? What Ge-ox mean?"

[narby]

This isn't funny. It's series I tell ya.

[cspackler]

Hey... I know how to pronounce Benoit and Bergeron and I'm in South Texas.

Yeah, but can you pronounce Refugio?

[TexasTransplant]

Refugio, went there yesterday! Looking a a pile of Texas 2 x 4's AKA Drill Pipe and Tubing.
