Just listen to those sons of beaches go A meeting of U.S. Virgin Islands Republicans went a little nutso Saturday, complete with shouting matches, screams for points of order, and at least one delegate getting shoved to the ground, allegedly. While the clusterfuck was due to political infighting, we'd also like to congratulate the USVI GOP for its spirited attempt to dispel stereotypes of islanders as laid back and relaxed.
A Virgin Islands Republican committee meeting, at a gun range, immediately devolves into violence after they vote on delegates. Either this is a preview of Cleveland or VI Reps are taking their Wonkette cosplay very seriously, what with their "with votes" = violence shenanigans.
Reminds me of this story that I hear about in my youte when I was visiting the Virgin Islands to scuba dive and partake of the local herbs::
St. Croix and the Virgin Islands were changed forever on the afternoon of Sept. 6, 1972, when the clubhouse of the Rockefeller-owned Fountain Valley Golf Course was invaded by five masked men wielding shotguns, handguns and automatic weapons.
Within a few minutes, eight people, including four tourists and two Rock Resort workers, lay dead, shot by the intruders, who then fled into the surrounding rainforest as suddenly as they had appeared. Eight more people, most employed by the golf course, were either shot at or wounded by the assailants.
Then governor of New York, Nelson Rockefeller, contacted the Nixon White House and managed to get planeload after planeload of U.S. Marshals over to the Virgin Islands and scour the terrain for "undesirables". A few hundred locals immediately departed the islands never to return.
This looks a dress rehearsal of the national convention, only without gunfire.

I present to you, your Republican Party.
Are we measuring cell phones by caliber instead of battery life now?
They suck ALL the balls.
Even the Three Stooges thought this was over the top.
This is such a preview for the main event.
