Drunken(R) Senate Staffer loses Job after screaming at the police

[IChing]

An allegedly foul-mouthed Florida State football fan arrested after the Boston College game has lost her job with a Florida senator.

Amanda Schweitzer, 25, of Winter Park, Fla., resigned from the office of U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Florida), the senator's spokesman announced yesterday.

Schweitzer allegedly screamed obscenities at police and reportedly lied about who she worked for after refusing to leave the stadium after BC's 28-17 loss to FSU on Sept. 17.

She admitted to officers that excessive drinking led to her unruly behavior, according to a police report. >>>>>.snip

1. That kinda sucks...

I mean, shouldn't you be allowed to be drunk and rowdy at a football game? Isn't that the point?

[IChing]

3. She said at first she worked for a democrat (Nelson) and threaten cops

Schweitzer is accused of telling police her boss, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Florida) would take care of the cops. She got arrested anyway in BC's Shea Field, according to a police report.
After finding a recent article on the arrest online, Nelson's press secretary stated that Schweitzer has never worked for them.
While Internet articles say Schweitzer, 25, was a staff aide for Martinez, a spokeswoman at that senator's Washington office said she was a research assistant.

25. Not slobbery falling down pathetic ... nope that didn't even fly

at our Cornhusker (U of Nebr at Lincoln) football games on chilly November Saturdays. We'd awake and begin drinking peppermint schnapps in our hot cocoa. Basically we kept buzzed all day.

But no, anyone "lose it" and act like a total a**, they'd get their butts arrested. We need less "angry drunks" AND less drunks in general. :P

26. the game was over-

and she wouldn't leave.

and yes- you do have the right to get drunk and rowdy...to a point.
you also have the right to endanger your chosen career path, if you like.

2. Maybe * will make her the next Supreme Justice

I mean, if she's a friend of his.

4. Ahhhh, those fine upstanding GOP staffers

But this one won't get a book deal like Jessica Cutler, former staffer to DeWine, and part time hooker!!!

[Double T]

5. Don't all (R) have unruly behavior, drunk or not

[Benhurst]

7. Maybe she can get a staring role on the upcoming video

"Republican Sluts Gone Wild."

8. The perfect description of a Republican....

...an abusive asshole EVEN when they WIN!!!

[buff2]

9. Heh,Heh....Ya gotta love those republican "family values" and

"morality" that they love to tout. Geez...seems like they're getting exposed on a daily basis. Poor little hypocrites.:nopity:

10. What a fine young woman

And exactly what was Martinez' "regret" at accepting her resignation?
The only regret he should have expressed was that she resigned before he could fire her sorry ass.

11. why the lie about working for Nelson?

weird people do weird things.

[onenote]

14. cause repugs gotta do what repugs gotta do

its in their dna or something...

15. Alcohol is a nasty drug. Ruins careers and families. Death and destruction

[IChing]

20. "Power is a nasty drug. Ruins careers and families. Death and destruction"

I think you meant power vs alcohol.

I like a fine chianti with my dinners!!!!


Silence of the lambs:
A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

[northzax]

24. amarone, actually

chiant is too fruity for liver and fava beans.

[onenote]

17. Nelson should make an issue of this

He should publicly demand an explanation from Martinez why he didn't fire her and what his "regret" was in accepting her resignation. Does he condone that sort of lying, drunken behavior and disparaging of another United States Senator?

onenote

[MGKrebs]

18. A Repub AND an FSU fan! How low can you get!

:evilgrin:

[Divernan]

21. Young, drunk, Florida GOP & resisting arrest - like Jeb's son!

But he didn't have to resign his job, did he? Or is he jobless, like the rest of the young Bushes? And what's Noelle Bush up to nowadays? Remember all those sanctimonious Republican women whining "What will we tell the children? - evidently they told the young GOP kids to get blind drunk, shout obscenities, lie about Democrats and resist arrest. It's called staying on message!

[Dover]

22. Getting fired is actually a promotional strategy in the Republican Party

Senator Martinez will probably make her a consultant!

[Historic NY]

27. This might sound dumb....but Florida won

WTF was her problem, trying to impress friends.

[not fooled]

29. Maybe they didn't sufficiently crush the opposition

'pukes don't only like to win, they like to annhilate (what they are trying to do 'Murka). :eyes:
