Does anyone have info about the Fla republican aide who

I heard a story yesterday on AAR that as a republican aide was getting arrested for disorderly conduct, he screamed to the cops that he was an aide to a Democratic candidate... and that they would all lose their jobs for arresting him.

I'm trying to find a link... but I can't find it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

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

4. I love it when the someone who does something like this is reported bo

be a Dem and turns out to be a Repub (assuming working for a Repub makes someone a Repub). I want to think more Repubs see it - vv, too, I suppose.

6. Thanks for the link! I like what you wrote there.

By the way, I did use Google to search for the news story when you asked about it in the opening message, but I couldn't find it, though I tried several different combinations of keywords. I'm glad you found it.

7. Makes one wonder if there isn't a pattern here, a culture of deception,

as well as corruption.

9. The one with the soldier and the child is ...just too cold.

These people have no sense of shame.

10. When your value system is based on fear, rather than empathy

When your value system is based on fear, rather than empathy, anything is justifiable.
