Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta.A famous national Democratic leader, “State Sen. Derrick Shepherd, D-Marrero,” in Louisiana, has been arrested for … well, we can’t really figure out what for, exactly, but it involves lap dancers, in his house, plus maybe his mom and sister? Punching an ex-girlfriend in the stomach, after breaking into her house? Oh, and he is also already being prosecuted “mail fraud, conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering,” which is apparently unrelated to this current arrest.

Let’s see, what else? Oh, this:

Shepherd was arrested at his residence in Stonebridge. The sheriff’s office said there were two women in the house, one of whom appeared to be performing a lap dance on Shepherd, who was on a sofa.

What beautiful excuse did this rising political star come up with, for the press?

“The only thing I’m guilty of is not calling the police first myself.”

Damn. The brother only wanted a table dance.

Did anyone bother to check the freezer for frozen assets?

The first thing I do when a lady invades my home and proceeds to force a lapdance on me is to notify the police. I won’t be a statistic.

Carrie_Okie July 28, 2008 at 1:04 pm

Haha, you did not have to ID him as a democrat. I mean, he was getting a lapdance. From a woman. Durrr.

SuperRounder July 28, 2008 at 1:05 pm

Bitch set him up.

AngryBlakGuy July 28, 2008 at 1:06 pm

…they didn’t even have the decency to let the man finish his lap dance!

“The only thing I’m guilty of is not calling the police first myself.”

Ah, the Kwame Kilpatrick defense….

columnv July 28, 2008 at 1:06 pm

I hate it when I’m lap-dance-raped and can’t get to the phone to call the cops.

Dramatist July 28, 2008 at 1:07 pm

“The only thing I’m guilty of is not calling the police first myself.”

Yet another example of the nationwide epidemic of attacks upon innocent men by scantily clad female assailants who use their vaginas as weapons.

obviously this dude is a P.I.M.P

Well, I’ve been to Loosiana and I didn’t know the activities listed above were called ‘illegal’ there.

When I was down there they were known simply as ‘Saturday night’.

“Speaking to reporters after his release from the Jefferson Parish Correctional Facility, Shepherd said his mother and sister were threatened and he tried to take action on his own instead of calling police. He did not detail the nature of the alleged threats.”

So he insisted the woman give him a lap dance, then punched her and took her cell phone and $100.

It all makes perfect sense.

Larry Fine July 28, 2008 at 1:10 pm

The bitch set him up.

BernardFarquart July 28, 2008 at 1:11 pm

Well, it makes sense. If he had been dialing the police, he wouldn’t have been punching anyone in the stomach. Or getting the the “fraud mail box”. Or dancing with his lap.

No wonder he’s smiling in that photo.

[re=45403]Doglessliberal[/re]: I thought you have to pay extra for the “finish”.

Advocatus_Diaboli July 28, 2008 at 1:15 pm

Well, at least he didn’t offer her $20 to perform oral sex on her. Oh, wait …

Nevermind

[re=45394]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: I agree. I do not see a single thing that is considered a crime in Louisiana. Heck, the next thing you know, they will be arresting the Governor of Nevada for seeing a whore.

S.Luggo July 28, 2008 at 1:50 pm

Like former Governor Sphincter, State Sen. Shepherd violated a prime Democratic rule: never pay for the booty.

Well after all, he is from Marrero (for those of you who don’t know, a NOLA suburb), where they call that sort of thing “foreplay.”

WhatTheHeck July 28, 2008 at 2:12 pm

Did it ever occur to you guys that shepherd’s a hero for defending the honor of his mother and sister?
I hate it when lap dancers get surly with my mom looking on and telling the dancers how to pleasure me.

The Intern July 28, 2008 at 2:14 pm

What is the world comming to?

First poor Eliot gets in trouble for seeing his $5000 a night lady friends, and now Derrick is taking heat for a little lap dance? What’s next? Is every member of Congress going to get dogged down because they have their girlfriends going with them on fact finding missions?

The police should be ashamed of themselves.

youareanidiot July 28, 2008 at 3:26 pm

Hey, queeraselvis v 2.0,

I know what you mean: I’m here in Marrero right now engaging in some foreplay with your mother. She love it when I give her The Full Sheperd.

youareanidiot July 28, 2008 at 3:28 pm

“The Full Sheperd” is not to be confused with “The Full Shepherd,” which is the one where I take her cell phone and $100, queeraselvis v. 2.0.

NedPepper July 28, 2008 at 3:40 pm

Congressman Jefferson meet Sen Shepherd, you have to see it from our perspective or don’t see.

This is 100% normal behavior for people from the west bank.

youareanidiot July 28, 2008 at 5:59 pm

defeatism,

This is a national blog. The West Bank to the rest of the country means the west bank of the Jordan.

Anyway, who are you to say this is normal behavior for “people from the west bank”? What are you, some kind of elitist?
