Senator Wentworth, Do you want to be the pot or the kettle?

Senator Wentworth would like you to put down the damn cell phone and drive. He's got a proposal to make it a misdemeanor to talk on your cell phone while driving. We agree, some 'tards are just not coordinated enough to do two things at once. But, we think such a proposal coming from a man that blatanly parks in the "No Parking Zone" is probably not the right advocate for self righteousness when it comes to your automobile.

I have said it before and will say it again: a law that lacks popular support and cannot be enforced is totally meaningless. Wentworth is delusional.

Screw the parking, I was behind one of those SOb plates today when the driver ran a red light at Congress and 11th to go into the Capitol. Right in front a Trooper, had it been me I'd likely be in jail as a terror suspect. It was a big black SUV with only the dealer stuff on the back so I don't know if it was a Chevy Tahoe or a GMC Amosphere Destroyer or what.

No, I meant he was actually driving on his cell phone. He has the new Nokia Minivan.
