Former Bush administration Deputy Counsel John Michael Farren is enjoying his calmer, post-political private sector life in Connecticut so much that last night he just went ahead and beat the crap out of his wife with a flashlight before trying to strangle her to death and ultimately kill himself. PROBLEM HOWEVER: both he and his wife are still alive! Farren is currently being held on $3 million bail, which is so much money. He appears to have been in the Bush White House’s second salary bracket, so… eh, not gonna cut it. [Greenwich Time]

That marriage is totally sanct.
Memorable photo of Rod Blagojevich.
The gays are to blame for this marriage being torn apart.
Even if he had succeeded, he’d still have several hundred thousand more murders to go to catch up to his old boss.
You figure Pennywise the gay clown already destroyed the sanctity of the marriage, might as well hit the wife with a maglite. I would plead “not guilty due to reason of family values.”
Wife is 14 years younger. We all know what’s going on here.
Someone apparently forgot the safe word again?
Stupid Bush appointee can’t even successfully kill himself–kind of sums up that whole wretched cabal…
[re=490944]KilgoreTrout_XL[/re]: Dude, a marriage isn’t sanct until you go full on Chris Brown on your significant other.
Okay,I admit, I just wanted to use Chris Brown as a verb. I have done it, and I’m moving on now.
Fucking thug.
And John Yoo says he never even met Bush. That hands-off approach on lawyers really has the highest deniability/wackiness ratio.
Leave it to Jim to check out the guy’s salary first. Honestly, living on $158K/year would freak out anyone.
OT, but Barry’s supposed to air the dirty linen (ha!) on the crotch-bomber in about half an hour. Will there be live-blogging, O beloved Wonkette overlords?
Is being beaten with a flashlight grounds for annulment in the catholic church?
Obama gets blamed for this in 3…2…1…
Well, at least we know who John Yoo was getting the torture advice from. “That stuff’s no big deal. I do it to my wife all the time!”
[re=490959]V572625694[/re]: Apparently the statement is late because all the agencies involved are going over it to make sure they don’t get blamed too much.
But the worst part is when he sang You Light Up My Life. After he asked: “Are you EVER ready?” FLASH!!1! His own interpretation of Torch-her?
[re=490948]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: The irony is that with all the practice they had in killing other people in the workplace, they still can’t seem to get it right when they try it at home.
[re=490969]chascates[/re]: Ha ha: “No, goddamnit Leon, you did not tell us we shouldn’t give this guy a visa.”
“Go launder your striped pants, Hillz! Here’s the PowerPoint….let me check the date….26 December. Oh, fuck.”
That salary list is a revelation. Whatinhell is a “gift analyst” and why do they make $34k a year??
When will these women learn? “Green balloons” fixes everything!
Sadly, I guess this would make him the only member of Bush’s team to wind up in jail.
[re=490960]Gopherit[/re]: As long as you pay the annulment fee.
[re=490964]magic titty[/re]: Then Obama can have a beer with this clown and his wife.
Send him to Gitmo.
I’m patiently waiting for a Fox News screen capture misidentifying him as a Democrat.
I also noted this on the salary list “George, Allison Carr $130,694 Ethics Advisor” A Bush Ethics Advisor?
[re=490950]I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO[/re]: Haha, the “sanct” shit is cracking me up man.
Hume would suggest he bring Christ into his life – that’ll fix it.
I’m not sure which is worse, Greenwich or Bridgeport.
Director of Fact Checking: Wheeler, Staci A-$60,000
Well, that was 60 large per year of taxpayer money that got flushed down the toilet.
[re=490978]BlueStateLibtard[/re]: Of course there was; Bush would ask him if, say, torture was ethical, and he’d tell him it was as long as he prayed to Jesus enough.
Gee, it would be truly horrible if anyone were to take advantage of this sick bastard’s barbaric behavior and try to extrapolate that it was symptomatic of the Dubya administration’s embrace of the vilest muck of human nature. That might cheapen it.
Meh. Hillary got people to kill themselves and make it look like a murder. That takes talent.
[re=490960]Gopherit[/re]: “Is being beaten with a flashlight grounds for annulment in the catholic church?”
No, to a Catholic wife, it’s a corporal work of mercy. Feed the hungry. Clothe the naked. Put wife out of their misery.
[re=490990]Katydid[/re]: Special points for your powers of observation.
[re=491013]Jukesgrrl[/re]: Sorry, Ms. Grammar meant to say “Put wife out of HER misery.”
“Simpson, Wandra E $102,323 Supervisor of Search and File”
Shouldn’t that be “Supervisor of File and Lose”?
Molinaro, Rachel E $58,206 Ethics Advisor
Duh.
Well, it’s good to know some Bush Administration lawyers are just the *vanilla* kind of criminals. IN YOUR FACE Yoo/Bybee/Gonzalez et al!
Well, he *is* a lawyer.
Farren’s wife, 43, sustained a broken jaw, fractures to the face, lacerations to the back of her head and is lapsing in and out of consciousness at Norwalk Hospital…the two have a six-year old and a four-month old…
Family. Values.
[re=490953]bitchincamaro[/re]: Farren’s wife, 43, sustained a broken jaw, fractures to the face, lacerations to the back of her head and is lapsing in and out of consciousness at Norwalk Hospital
I am going you on this one. This asshat is a thug.
I have to wonder how many times a day his lawyer Eugene Ridiccio says “ridiculous”.
Strangely enough, he had a written opinion from the Bush Justice Department saying that it was perfectly legal to beat his wife.
Heckuva job, Farren.
So, what is the deal with Connecticut? Some bad thing in the water there?
a six-year old and a four-month old…?
I’d like to have a little talk with this guy. I wouldn’t be as nice as Nancy Grace.
[re=490975]Hooray For Anything[/re]: I’m hoping he’ll roll over on the others.
I wonder what she did. Just wondering.
[re=491113]Aurelio[/re]: She wouldn’t drop her divorce action. Claimed that Farren was abusive and a rage-a-holic. [True.] The unfeeling bitch.
“[The judge] also issued a protective order against Farren to have no contact with his wife or their two children.” Sure. That always works.
[re=491063]WIDTAP[/re]: Pretty sure this whole thing is just a misunderstanding. She must have tripped on a chair or something.
Oh, huh, the flashlight with her blood and hair on it, uhhhm … yeah. She tripped on a chair and fell on the flashlight. Repeatedly.
[re=490964]magic titty[/re]: Fox News demands a pardon from Barry in 6…5…4….
[re=490982]Escape Goat Nation[/re]: If you’re not sure, you’ve never been to Bridgeport.
They had enough Deputy Associate Directors (of nothing in particular) for a co-ed softball team. That sounds like a sweet job–
“What did you do at the White House?”
“I associated with many deputy directors all day long.”
[re=490982]Escape Goat Nation[/re]: The headline for Bridgeport is:
In dispute over chess, Bridgeport man stabs neighbor with shovel
Bridgeport is gangsta.
One of the charges against Farren is first-degree strangulation. Connecticut has enough stranglers that its criminal code must differentiate them by degree.
I support the aspirations of any Republican who wants to kill their spouse.
$300,000 will get this guy’s bail paid. Maybe we should pass the hat.
[re=491089]What Fresh Hell is This?[/re]: What is the deal with Conneticut? Sigh. I’ve been asking myself that for a long time. The weirdest people live in that state. I hope the carpet bombing starts soon.
[re=491113]Aurelio[/re]: Bought one of those Obama commemorative plates?
Did you see the photo of this dude? Even when in handcuffs…hair parted to the side and eyeglasses on a white dude…When are these guys going to lose the GOP fashion code?
Right now I am trying to beat myself to death with a flashlight and it is not working. I’d ask my wife for help, but she’s not responding. Suggestions?
Don’t worry, folks: tomorrow after work, I will drive to New Canaan to investigate.
Actually, former Bush lawyers were required to devour the body parts of white house “visitors” who turned out to have far less money than they had told Ralph Reed when they had paid god for access.
$10 says he wrote a law review article arguing that coverture still exists.
[re=491141]Snarkalicious[/re]: I was waiting for them to somehow blame Obama for the abuse and strangulation myself.
I wondered why he didn’t use a firearm until I recalled Rumsfeld’s famous quote,” As you know you go to a murder-suicide with the weapon you have,not the weapon you want or wish to have at a later time.’
lives at “388 Wahackme Road” ? Tell me they weren’t just both asking for it.
How come this presumably Xtian wasn’t on some kind of watchlist?
There is no bottom. These people are evil, evil, evil, and rotten to the very core of their being.
I know you all think I’m whacko, but I see this as further evidence that 9/11 was an inside job.
Why does any civilian need a flashlight that uses DD batteries. Those should be reserved for law enforcement and the military.
BTW, nice house.
$3 million bond… $2 million bond… journalism shmournalism! Who cares about details? A Bushie went batshit!
[re=491113]Aurelio[/re]: she voted for Obama.
Those Maglites are tough flashlights! And they’re made right here in the USA!
[re=491223]Edywin[/re]:
exactly
obviously, the street name (WaHACKME) proves this was a completely preventable act of domestic terrorism that the present administration willed to occur
reason #388 that obama = failure
I blame the liberals.
