A heartbeat away from a booger eater: TN Lt. Governor caught pickin' and grinnin'

Please don't watch this while eating your lunch or you may lose it.

John Wilder, the Democrat lieutenant governor of Tennessee, was caught on video tape picking his nose and then eating it. Video, for the strong-stomached, is on the page linked below:

Pickin' and Grinnin'

John Wilder is 83 years old and has held his position for over 30 years. He was a major proponent of the move to adopt a state income tax which proved to be very unpopular with Tennessee voters and he appears to still be in favor of such a move.

Despite the fact that Tennessee, for the first time in over 100 years, voted the Democrats out of the majority in the state senate, it appears that John Wilder will be elected again due to a couple of turncoat Republicans. That means Tennesseans will have a booger-eating governor if anything happens to Governor Bredeson. Yikes!

This is the most disgusting, vulgar, nauseating headline I've ever seen here. What would newcomers think? That freepers are idiotic low-life teenagers, that's what.

Please change it.

This reminds me of the wisdom I used to impart on my kids.

1. You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose.

2. You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't wipe your friends on the back of the couch.

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!!! HE REALLY ATE IT!!!!!!!

[Bluegrass Federalist]

LOL! I was in rush-hour traffic and a guy (why is it always a man?) in the car next to me calmly took his hand from the steering wheel and buried his index finger into his nostril, digging and swirling, round and round for that elusive nugget. Yes, I stared and giggled.

I love catching someone like that. Did you wait util he was almost done, then honk to get his attention? Priceless. There is very little funnier.

gee whiz what a goof

"It was a scratch, not a pick! A scratch!"

[paulcissa]

Mmmmmm. Tasty, chunky and just the right temperature. Best when chased with a swig if gin.

How freakin' gross. But remarkably amusing. :-0

[rabidralph]

LOL! No, I've never disturbed them during dinner. I'll have to try that sometime.

[rabidralph]

You're funny. You must be one of those elitist snobs Jodi888 and the Left keep complaining about.

[Veto!]

I'm not funny and I'm not a snob. Free Republic is a precious resource where conservatives can debate political issues. If it slides into the gutter, where can we go? I'm signing up for littlegreenfootballs.com where the level of discourse is more civilized.

Moderator, please change this headline. And take alook at replies on this thread. I'm too disgusted to look at them, but chances are, vulgar comments win out over serious debate.

"You're not being the ball, Danny."

"What's that sign say?"
"No bare feet."
"What's THAT sign say?"
"No fighting."

"We've got a pool AND a pond. Pond would be good for you."

precious bodily fluids

[AlGone2001]

At least he used the water to wash it down.

This guy is picking his nose. What is there to debate about that?

[snarks_when_bored]

(laugh) I was doing "Seinfeld"; you went back to the original!

[oyez]

Bredesen is a good manager to be Democrat. If the 'crats want to save their party, he is a prime example of the kind of people they need in the running.

[Lovergirl]

eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww! That was disgusting. Then he washed it down with a drink. LOL

I suppose, since there's not a Green/Yellow/And-When-It's-Really-Dry-Out Red Party.
