I like twitters.WE MUST KNOW THE GENDER(S) OF THE HOOKERS: “Cook County GOP chair and onetime aide to Gov. Jim Thompson, Gary Skoien …. had a restraining order taken out against his wife when she beat him senseless with his electric guitar after finding him in the kids’ playroom frolicking about with not one, but two prostitutes.” [Patriot's Quill]

What is really going to give me nightmare’s about this post isn’t (aren’t?) the prostitutes in the kid’s playroom. It’s the proximity of a Republican to an electric guitar. Flashback to Lee Atwater. Gaahhh!

This man has some seriously huge stones to try this with wife & kids at home. Or he’s seriously deranged and stupid. Those these are not mutually-exclusive concepts.

V572625694 March 12, 2009 at 1:07 pm

Sorry, but “Cook County GOP Chair” is a job the same way “Official Federal Boob Inspector” is a job, or a title like “World’s Greatest Grandpa” is an actual honor. There are no Republicans in Cook County, unless their in protective confinement in Western Springs.

Come on guys, this is nothing. There is no evidence that the guy was a lifestyle nazi, nor that the hookers were underaged, nor that they used diapers or other unsavory props. By Republican standards, this guy is Andy of Mayberry. Plus, I would say he has already paid for his sins rather heavily.

SayItWithWookies March 12, 2009 at 1:10 pm

Since he’s a Republican you can bet it was a flashy, expensive guitar that he didn’t know how to play.

I want a brand new house on an episode of Cops
And a kid’s room I can bang hookers in
And a king size tub big enough for two plus me
(Tell me watchya need)

I’ll need a
good housewife that’s out all night
And a big door lock with an alarm in it
Gonna join the threesome club at 1 a. m. in the damn morning
(Been there, done that)

I want a new kid room full of old guitars
My mug in The Smoking Gun Dot Com
Somewhere between Charles Barkley and Nick Nolte is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it)

I’m gonna trade this life for ridicule and shame
I’d even cut my hair and change my name

‘Cause we all just wanna be Repubs
And fuck in kid play rooms banging two hookers
The girls come easy and the shame comes cheap
We’ll all stay skinny as we just won’t eat
And we’ll
Hang out in the coolest jails
In the VIP with the banker boys
Every good kid diddler’s gonna wind up there
Every closet case fundie with his meth habit and well,
Hey hey I wanna be a Repub
Hey hey I wanna be a Repub

Another news story mentioned that Eni Skoien had survived a bought of breast cancer in 2007. Maybe there’s some Newt Gingrich clause at work here.

Here’s the really sad part (other than the fact a fireplace poker wasn’t handy): Mrs. Skoien spent two days in jail; she now has a restraining order prohibiting her from contact with her kids. The same children whose playroom will now have to be power-cleaned to remove Daddy’s body fluids.

[re=263727]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Yes, a Dobro or National steel would have made a suitable weapon. I have to object to destroying a Ric on a Republican. That’s a terrible waste of a perfectly good guitar. If the idea is to inflict as much damage as possible, a Les Paul or a Tele would have to be the weapon of choice. You could pummel a Republican into a spot of grease with a Tele and not only would the guitar survive, it would stay in tune.

Forget genders, how about the ages of the hookers in the kids’ room. Given this is Chicago, where political perversion is field tested, they could be anywhere from 8 to 100. Also, was the guitar involved….sexually, or did the wife have to go and get it so she could hit her husband with it? Where’s the newsmedia when you need it?

Although, if you’re going with a Gibson, nothing beats the flair of swinging around a Flying V, you can also use the ‘V’ shape to pin them to the floor by the neck and kick them repeatedly.

[re=263738]FMA[/re]: I suggested a hollow body because it would probably have been his, and thus okay to destroy. Also, hollow-body Rickenbackers seem to be very popular with flashy poseurs who don’t know how to play them — and thus eminently destroyable. Don’t worry — they’ll make more.

FMA March 12, 2009 at 3:30 pm

[re=263903]SayItWithWookies[/re]: You have a very good point there. The splintering effect would also inflict multiple lacerations and would make for more blood, which is always good.
Most of the poseurs I’ve seen seem to favor Rics, or Pauls, or some lame-ass signature Strat, like a Clapton or something, in other words, that’s a status symbol with strings.

Deputies: Man shot by stepfather is likely OK

OCALA – Sheriff’s deputies say a 43-year-old Summerfield man shot twice by his stepfather, in the mouth and in the stomach, is expected to recover from his injuries.

Officials said Richard Frary was transported to Shands at the University of Florida on Monday after he was shot with a .380-caliber handgun.

His stepfather, George William Cakoyanis, was charged with attempted murder and two counts of aggravated assault.

The shooting occurred at the home in Summerfield shred by Frary; his mother, Susan Cakoyanis; and her husband.

Deputies went to the home after receiving two 911 calls about a man being shot. Frary’s mother told a sheriff’s deputy her husband had shot her son during an argument.

According to a Sheriff’s Office report, the suspect said: “I didn’t mean to shoot him. He made me mad.”

He told investigators he shot his stepson, but that Frary was the aggressor. He denied shooting the victim a second time.

The suspect’s wife told investigators she and a friend were talking in the living room when her husband walked out of his bedroom with his guitar and sat in a recliner. The woman said he began cursing at them.

She said Frary told his stepfather that the conversation they needed to have could wait until the next day.

Frary’s mother said her husband tried to hit him with the guitar, but didn’t because she stood between them. She said she then forced her husband to go into his bedroom.

Her son followed. She told investigators that when Cakoyanis reached the bedroom, he took the gun from the nightstand and threatened to shoot everyone in the home. The woman said he then pointed the gun at her son’s head and pulled the trigger, according to the report.
