What Part Of The Word STUPID Don't You Understand???Written by Matt Bruce - The Captain's America - wwpr1490.com

SARASOTA, FL. (NS) -
Picture the following scenario I'm going to tell you about, because it actually happened...
First you have a person riding a bicycle holding a cellphone, dressed like some sort of homeless person, doing a radio show from his bicycle at an event for the President of The United States...
This person is riding in an area where the sign clearly states and is lit up saying "NO Stopping, Standing Or Parking"...
Intially when this person on the bicycle arrived, he was told by law Enforcement that he was to stay inside a certain area. This was verified by the comment made on the radio show by the individual on the bicycle and is also recorded on the radio show tape...
Then a little while later, he found himself down in front of the place where the residential event was taking place talking on his cell phone doing a radio show...
At this point, his radio show and all comments being made are now being heard by Secret Service Agents at the main gate as this person rides up...
The person on the bike is talking to an Anti-War protestor who is ranting about Nazi-ism and Gestapo tactics plus a few other choice words that I can't print in this article while the Secret Service listens to all of this on my pickup truck radio...
Now ask yourself, what would YOU do if you're the Secret Service?
Obviously I'm sure you can imagine what happened next, especially since the Secret Service was still listening to the radio show, the bicycle rider and his Anti-War protestor friend as my vehicle was being searched to gain entry into the VIP parking lot at the Presidential event...
Next thing I knew an Agent was transmitting on his radio to his fellow Agents at the main entrance. Whatever was then said, I have NO idea of..
OK, so now go inside not knowing what was taking place outside and start preparing myself for my special radio show broadcast from 12 noon to 1pm live at the Presidential event for which I had credentials and was The White House Media Press List to do...
After a few minutes a Secret Service Agent came up to me and asked me if the person on the bicycle out by the main entrance "was any part of my radio show." I answered NO, which was absolutely TRUE, he was NOT. Nothing else was asked of me. I was also told at that time that he had shown the Secret Service some kind of 'expired' Press Card. Now ask yourself, how STUPID is that???
That was all I was asked at that time and nothing else was said until I ran across Manatee County Sheriff Charlie Wells. At that time I learned about the bicylist being "detained" which was going on outside the event involving the other radio show person who was NOT authorized to be in or at the Presidential event nor was in ANY way
a part of my radio show...
I waited until the Radio Station Owner showed up as my photographer and then I asked the Secret Service to come over and tell her what was going on, I had NO idea what the circumstances were at this time with this individual. At that point the Secret Service used such choice words as is this guy on the bicycle was "Nuts," "Crazy," "Stupid" and "Moronic". As a matter of fact, they even wondered "how he ever could have gotten on the radio."
So after clarification from the Radio Station Owner, I believe this person was told to leave the area immediately. But instead of doing that, he chose to make 3 stops before clearing the Presidential event which I believe caused him further embarassment and once again being stopped, this time by a female Manatee County Sheriff...
Now, I ask ALL of you...what part of STUPID doesn't everybody understand???
This was an obvious attempt by sometime whose Totem Pole doesn't go all the way to the top, that was merely trying to do something for publicity purposes...
What may have started out as an innocent attempt to do his radio show from close to' a Presidential event took a much different turn when his own words on the radio and those of an Anti-War protestor got HIM into trouble with the U.S. Secret Service...
Once again, this only goes to prove that you'd better be 'careful' what you say on the radio because you never know who's listening...
The only other problem with all of this is everybody knows he is associated with the Manatee County Democratic Party and what he did was a very STUPID thing for himself and for THEM...
You don't show up at a Presidential event without the proper credentials and start talking on a cell phone over the radio airwaves being listened to by the U.S. Secret Service and then start talking to someone about "where they can set up to protest" a Presidential event...
That WILL get you into BIG trouble every day of the week as this person has now found out...
Has he learned anything from this incident? Not hardly, since he promptly announced to me, "I'll be at the Laura Bush event."
So once again, what part of STUPID don't you understand???
What was this persons name you ask? "Mitch Mallett," host of a local Bradenton Democratic Themed Radio Show called "It's Your Gavel" which is nothing more than the mouth piece for the Democratic Party...
It's no wonder why the Democrats are STILL the 'minority' with people like this as their spokesman...
Remember this when you head for the Polls to Vote on Tuesday November the 7th...
For Now That's Just 'OUR' Opinion...
