Congressman's Son Caught Smuggling Illegals Into America

Oh-- and also: Methamphetamines.

I know what you're all worried about.

Is he an R or is he a D?

Well... Let's just let the absence of party identification answer that question.

Party affiliation -- none, apparently. He is, like Child Stalker Andrew "Bareback City" Sullivan, a Party of One.

But just to make it official.

How can the media even claim to be unbiased when every single fucking article about a Democrat in a scandal refuses to report his partisan affiliation?

Thanks to Alice H.

1 obviously the kids father told him something about amnesty and he's helping out with the voting base.

2 They can claim it because it has always worked for them in the past. D'uh.

3 Because, like, man, pointing out the (R) man, is like, pointing out the INTENSE hypocrysy with the stupid GOP (Grand OIL Party) and their policies.  Democrats love illegals, so like, everyone expects them to want to help them into our country.  The stupid (R)s just want to throw everyone in jail, man.  The media doesn't want to confuse people.  Like, duh.

4 "This is a family matter that my family and I will be dealing with privately. John is a grown man and must face the consequences for his actions, but he has the love and support of his family," says the elder Boyd.

Um, I have news for you, dickwad (D) - this is a CRIME.  That makes it very public.

Thank you for understanding the justice system you are supposed to represent.

5 Oh, cute, he's a gun runner as well.

6 Shit - reading his bio we could pretty much switch him out for McCain and we'd never know.

7 What did the Illegal say to the Congressman's son?
What?
Is your Father a R or a D?
What does it matter?
I want to know who to vote for when Amnesty strikes next year.

8 A primary inspection agent approached the truck and saw an individual hiding under a piece of plywood in the bed of the truck.

So, Al Gore is involved as well?

Posted by: krakatoa at September 18, 2008 01:53 AM (n1baw)

9 And Ace, please get off your high horse. This is distracting from the politically vital question of why Bristol Palin won't do the right thing and abort her baby.

10 A politician's children are off-limits guys, Obama said so.  And his followers have obeyed that command completely.

11 An Illegal gets in a congresman's son's car with a big bag of meth. The son says, "whats that"?
The Illegal replies, "A beeg bag of meth".
"Where's your family"?
"een the trunk".

Posted by: Mr._Chumpo at September 18, 2008 01:55 AM (i73Rf)

12 Except for the fact McCain doesn't have a kid running guns and illegals and meth and isn't a Democrat and did pick Palin and did champion the surge and wouldn't be protected by the media.  So yeah, it's really, really close.

13 In addition to the Subcommittee on Defense, Boyd will continue to serve on the Military Construction-Veterans Affairs Subcommittee and the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee in the 110th Congress.

Great. Hire illegals to perform the Military Construction of Veterans complexes, to work the Agriculture fields, to squat on rural lands prior to development raising the costs, abscond with our Food and Drugs and contaminate what is left for consumption, and be given free Housing as appropriated.

The legislation enabling illegals with no means to qualify for loans MORTGAGES that also benefited thieving citizenry destroyed America's general housing market and failing banking and investing and insurance firms.

I'll bet a nickle to a doughnut that Boyd's signature and fingerprints are all over this entire episode of corruption. Ax him.

They are liars.

Posted by: Christoph at September 18, 2008 02:01 AM (hawOV)

15 I wonder if the Congressman's boy is in the construction business or is finding illegals to work in the construction business or some other business that operates on government pay outs and can use cheap labor to keep its profits sky high?

16 An Illegal with a big bag of meth, and A congressman's son walk into a bar; the bartender shouts, "Hold it we don't serve his kind in here"!
The Illegal says, "eets o.k. Joe, he's with me".

17 "You deserve it!"

How many times have you heard that line used in commercial advertising?

18 I just dropped an e-mail to the station, asking them if it was their policy to not disclose the party affiliation of congressmen all the time, or only half the time....

Posted by: notropis at September 18, 2008 02:03 AM (0iXnN)

19 You know an unbiased press would look into stuff like that...

Posted by: The Obvious at September 18, 2008 02:03 AM (1g+FW)

20 What about the Donk congressman's son who maybe, JUST maybe cracked a personal email account and leaved it all over the web?

The thing that frosts my shorts (or burns my briefs, depending on mood) is that every. Single. Fucking. Story complains that she was using it for official biz, even though there is zero proof.

Bunch of cunts they are.

Posted by: Rasputin at September 18, 2008 02:04 AM (tunH+)

21 We looked at the facts carefully and decided that his party affiliation wasn't relevant.  Duh.  Stupid wingnuts.  How you like those hacked emails of Palin, eh?  Eh?

22 "This is a family matter that my family"

Family matter.

Well, LUCKY YOU Congressman, our respectable press does not care about criminality of the Democrat persuasion, they only care about republican "family" matters and meth induced human smuggling unless republican does NOT pose a problem. DUH! you're in the peach congressman! On Nancy's shorltist I am sure.

25 How can the media even claim to be unbiased

I don't think they're even bothering to make that claim any more, Ace. When 70% of the public knows that you're in the tank for the Dems, there's not much point.

I think they're in survival mode -- if O! doesn't win and do...something...to stop us all from reading the wrong sites and listening to the wrong radio stations, the MSM as we know it will be GONE before the next presidential election.

26 "The son of a U.S. Congressman from was arrested in Willcox Sunday"

Sounds like they listed - then thought better of and sloppily removed - his state of origin as well, on the off chance that "Florida" would give readers too many clues to use in tracking down his party affiliation.

Posted by: Flip at September 18, 2008 02:31 AM (pWFVY)

27 In the article it reads,

"According to court documents the illegal immigrants said they were to pay Boyd $3,000 each to be smuggled into the United States and transported to their final destination."

This makes it "trafficking," [if I'm not mistaken] and a far more serious crime than just "smuggling."

29 You bigots need to shut up.  These people are clearly just trying to do jobs Americans will not do.  Like smuggling drugs.

@28:

Um, that would require the GOP to, you know, actually fight their enemies.

 

Ain't never gonna happen.  Pre-emptive surrender just feels so much better - it's like real velour.

Posted by: Fa Cube Itches at September 18, 2008 02:59 AM (Tz2XN)

31 I checked on Google News. I looked at every story that mentioned the arrest (excluding duplicates so I only got one AP story. There might have been some stories that were nearly the same).

Anyway, I read 9 stories (including the one that Ace linked in his post). 7 of them mentioned the party affliation, 2 didn't.

On one of the ones that didn't, there was a reader's comment complaining there was no party affliation listed.

32 So, the last living member of the Whig party did procreate.

What are the chances?

34

This guy is actually one of the four or five most conservative dems in the house.  He has to be because his district (Fla Panhandle) is very conservative.

So I'm pleasantly surprised the articles don't describe him as Allen Boyd, a conservative congressman from Florida ...

Posted by: buzz at September 18, 2008 07:44 AM (Uldz5)

35 Too bad they didn't just send him back to Mexico with the gun in the car. Along with the drugs that would have meant his lilly-ass would be living with Jose and his friends in a Mex jail for very long time.

37 Heh, pin the tail on the Donkey time again. The mandatory comparison with MSM coverage of Mrs Palin & family will be passed over here, since it is too freakin' obvious to bear mention.

If that congressman still thinks a public appeal for privacy will save his son from public attention, he has another thing coming. The media types saved the party affiliation for The Cause, his son will have to take one for the team. It's scandalicious!

Posted by: exdem13 at September 18, 2008 09:03 AM (nQ6xk)

38 Did it ever occur to any of you that, perhaps, like the office of mayor of Detroit, the office of US Congressman is non-partisan, therefore there is no need to mention his party affiliation?

Yeah, me neither.

the office of US Congressman is non-partisan

Heh.

40 Nice to know the dirtbags in congress are still dirtbags. There's nothing like that sense of stability in which you know nothing ever changes. We can always count on the dirtbags to stay dirty and stay elected. It's the natural order of things.

The fact that this person is the child of a democrat  doesn't support the new talking point that you're a bad parent if your child does something bad illegal; so  in the words of Emily Litella  never mind...    

Instead let's go look at Gov Palin's E-mails to see what we can find. We're liberals progressives and we just can't stand it when anyone invades our privacy or the privacy of terrorists  freedom fighters

And how can you condemn him as a gunrunner when the Metrosexual Mugabe supports the 2nd Amendment?

46 The first paragraph of the article states, "According to court documents John F. Boyd son of Democratic Florida Congressman Allen Boyd" -- was this article edited?

Posted by: Scotian at September 18, 2008 01:28 PM (BmKVE)

47 I looked at it this morning and could have sworn it did not show that.  I'm going to get in the habit of screenshotting these.

Its 2am. The phone rings...

"Mmmm...Hello"

"Hi, Dad. Its John."

"Yes, John. I recognize your voice. Its 2am. What do you need."

"Well, I didn't mention it, but I decided to take a little vacation."

"Ok."

"A vacation to Mexico."

--silence--

"And I got arrested as I was coming through the border station."

--more silence-- (The Congressman is wondering: "Who can I call to make this go away.")

"Ok, John. What are the charges?"

"Umm. Well.....I gave a ride to some guys I met, and the Border Patrol now says they're illegal immigrants. They say I was 'human smuggling'."

--silence--

"Anything else?"

"Yeah. I'm afraid so.... I forgot I had a little bag of crystal in the car, and they got me on that too."

"And I had a gun."

The Congressman wonders: "How did I raise such an Excitable Boy?"

"And how do I get re-elected?"

As Scotian correctly points out, heres the second sentence of the article as it appears at 1100h Cali time today:

According to court documents John F. Boyd, son of Democratic Florida Congressman Allen Boyd, attempted to drive through a Border Patrol checkpoint in Willcox on Sunday with five illegal immigrants, including a 6-year-old girl.  

Did some newsroom yob go in and add that in after the fact, or what? Was it not there the first time or is Ace smokin too much Marley Barley? Please advise.
