Wonkette finds a fun Iowa story "‘Jail Is For Democrats,’ Explains Awesome Racist Drunk GOP Mom

Oh Charlene Idelle Hunziker, 47, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, gurrrrl, don’t you ever change! First, a liquid lunch at PF Chang’s, where you harass all the customers about NOBAMA being a Muslin; second, embarrass your daughter so much that she leaves you down in Chinatown (or at least the West Desmoines version thereof); third, explain to the copper on call that you don’t need jailing, as that is for little people, like Democrats, and not fine upstanding Republicans

You have no idea what us Progressive Iowans endure. This is a very educated state (can I brag for a second?). The people here are so smart, so kind and just great salt-of-the-earth people. We have gay marriage here; we also delivered Obama in the Democratic primary--when other Democratic candidates were expected to win. We are a 98 percent white state, but we are open minded and diverse and Obama won every county (all 99 of them) in the Democratic caucus and in the Presidential election.

However, we have a looney contingent. It's possible that Charlene Hunziker may be an officer in this contingent. These people helped Michelle Bachman win the Iowa Straw Poll and they voted Mike Huckabee as the winner of the Republican caucuses. Pat Robertson came in second in the Iowa Republican caucuses when he ran against Bush I.

So yeahhhhh. It's kinda goofy around here.

Ms. Hunziker was in West Des Moines, but she is from Council Bluffs, Iowa--the wackaloon region of our state. They continue to vote in Congressman Steve King. Sounds like Charlene needs to be kept in her Council Bluffs cage. Allowing her to roam in the wild and progressive area of West Des Moines proves too stressful for her. Especially when she's all liquored up.

This is my life. Seriously. Love the Progressives here and they are wonderful, but the wackaloons like Charlene Hunziker make life frustrating at time--but always entertaining.

I've put some of their letters up on this site before. These are people who spend their days on the TH comment boards figuring out new ways to put down the President without resulting to actual racial slurs.

En route to the police station, where she was booked before being transported to the Polk County Jail, Hunziker reportedly said that “she was doing this because she was a good mother.”
