Goin south on 75 thru Marietta, Ga, traffic was acting weird, someTEABAGGER was screwing things up
Edited on Sun Mar-21-10 06:05 PM by divideandconquer
Goin south on 75 thru Marietta, Ga, in a light rain traffic was acting weird, further down the road i came upon some TEABAGGER who was gumming things up by driving 40 mph in the middle lane of a packed 7 lane highway by driving in a convertible with the top down and huge white flag or something hanging on a 12 foot pole poking out of the back seat. This scumbag had an Obama lies poster across the rear of the car and was wearing some kind of costume hat while waving at passing traffic to elicit honking of horns. I thought that this is metaphor for what the TEABAGGER are really all about.

1. Great! Nothing builds sympathy to your cause like blocking traffic on a Sunday. nt

8. I think the minimum is 40-45 mph which is what he was doing but he wasn't in the slow lane

This scumbag was making 60-65 mph traffic slow up and switch lanes in a light rain and putting on a freak show. A perfect scenario for an accident. A little later the sky opened up and it poured, Hopefully no one was hurt and he and his car interior got soaked.

5. Flying a flag that big should have got him pulled over.
Not even remotely legal.

They ticket commercial traffic for things like that, even a small flag or pennant will get you a citation.

12. The part of 75 he was driving is "death corrider", 100's killed on that stretch of road
However Reichwing Cobb County is , this exhibition wouldn't have been too welcome to police on this dangerous part of the interstate.

9. Yep, Interstate 75 not US Highway 75..
And going through Marietta (just north of Atlanta) it's about a ten lane racetrack/madhouse..

11. The law don't go down here, boy...
We don't have to follow the law. We can drive in the middle of the road and block traffic and create hazards if we want to. It's our country. The laws are made for you.
