New Weiner scandal: license plate fraud?

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

A civilian changing license plates on a car would face some very serious legal problems. It’s hard to imagine this is true and I make no statement as to whether it is, but it would be quite amazing to me if it was.

[Tucker39]

Maybe you should redo that plate in the new orange and black color scheme that New York has been issuing. Don’t know if they did a complete changeover, but I see a lot of them lately. Guess they like the retro look from back in the 50s.

[BuffaloJack]

I’ll bet that he doesn’t carry insurance on them either.

Prototypical lefty. Do as I say not as I do. It’s how you end up with a socialist elitist who flys first class, stays in $3,000-a-night suites, and rapes the hired help. Or a president who golfs, entertains, stuffs his face, and sends his wife out on shopping sprees while raising the cost of energy, telling people to eat veggies, and blaming double-digit real unemployment on everything but his failed policies and the fear he’s created in the market.

A 1988 Nissan Pathfinder? Figures, he’d drive a beater.

I KNEW I was going to get that reply...ok, here goes.

I live in Georgia, we currently have about 20 different license plate design going. I have no idea how man NY has, but I thought, "Aw shucks, everyone will get the point that it's a satire on Weiner, and they won't get all that technical and nail me to the wall..."

But, I was wrong.

As far as a do-over...no. It's takes an act of Congress and a tear from Boehner to get me to do one over for this kind of reason.

But, thanks for noticing.

Rules are for little people.

[rawhide]

Probably learned that lesson from Charlie ‘taxcheat’ Rangel?

[rawhide]

Does it not seem hypocritical for someone who is pro-union to be driving a Nissan and a Honda?

[doorgunner69]

A Neeesaan, eh? Figures the little geek would drive a Datsun.......

I live in Georgia, we currently have about 20 different license plate design going.

Awww, you're not giving us credit. We have 32 different college and university and 40 different military license plates, alone.

And don't get me started on the three different Dog & Cat Sterilization plates . . . or the Conditioned Air Association of Georgia plate . . .

[FatherofFive]

He's Charlie Rangel’s soul-mate.

Actually, Weiner and Eric Holder have become buddys. That are actually considering running together for President - they figure the Weiner-Holder ticket can't be beat.

[CaptainK]

Hmmmm does that deserve a rim shot sound effect?

[CodeToad]

Criminal Democrat bump.

[nascarnation]

another UAW partisan driving japanese iron, seems to be a trend these days

Well, you've strengthened my case...I live in Ga and had no idea how many tag styles there are here, as I always get just the plain, vanilla one.

So, I would not even have a clue about NY's tags, at all.

This has become way too technical for a satire graphic...

[Scotswife]

you’re right on about that registration business - and in NY it’s a real racket!

And it’s guys like Weiner who think we need more of that kind of thing - while he proceeds to evade it.

[MinuteGal]

Weinie's wife, Huma, shares the blame here. If not, why not?

If a husband and wife are running a household, each is equally responsible to see that things like the mortgage is paid each month on time, that vendors to the household are paid for their services and that payments due unto to Caesar (never mind God in this case) are rendered....in this case, the Department of Motor Vehicles.

But I suppose Huma is too busy running around the world playing lady-in-waiting in Hillary's royal retinue (at our expense)....and mundane household things that a wife would ordinarily pay attention to are beneath her elite station as well as that of her husband's.

"You absolutely know that this story would not have seen the light of day if Anthony Weiner were still in the good graces of the NY Democrat Party."

How right you are FRiend!!!

[Scoutmaster]

I live in Ga and had no idea how many tag styles there are here, as I always get just the plain, vanilla one.

If the DOT's website is up to date, it appears we have 156 different tag styles.

Among the 40 military tags is one for Veterans of the Chosin Reservoir Campaign of 1950 in Korea (If anyone's earned a special tag, it's our veterans; I'm just surprised that the tags get so specific).

We have 24 different NASCAR license plates. Are you a fan of the late Dale Earnhart?

Or A.J. Almendinger?

If you want a portion of your tag fees to go to 4-H and the Future Farmers of American, you buy this tag:

Sons of Confederate Veterans?

The Atlanta Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority?

The Georgia Soccer Association?

Conditioned Air Association of Georgia?

We have them all (by all, i'm including the one available to spouses who have survived a Pearl Harbor survivor, but have not remarried).
