Woman Arrested For Stealing Signs Speaks Out (update)

First Coast News (FL) ^ | 10/26/2004 | Maria Tsataros

[Mount Athos]

Fabiola Armitage is back on television, only instead of a campaign ad the focus has been on her mugshot.

Armitage is a Kerry supporter and a strong believer in stem cell research. She's featured in an advertisement urging Floridians to vote against Amendment 3 on this year's ballot. The amendment would cap how much money a lawyer can make from a medical malpractice lawsuit.

St. Johns County Sheriff Deputies arrested Armitage for grand theft and battery this week. They say she had 78 campaign signs supporting George Bush and Mel Martinez in her trunk. Armitage tells First Coast News that she "was told by code enforcement that would be okay, to pick them off, to remove them from the right-of-way."

James Acosta, head of St. Johns County enforcement says that Armitage was "advised not to collect the campaign signs. We asked that she notify us of the area and we would send a crew to pick them up."

Armitage says she saw hundreds of Bush/Cheney signs illegally placed on State Road 13 and along Race Track Road. She admits to collecting as many as she could, saying she didn't know what to do with them and that "I thought it was okay to keep them."

James Acosta says keeping the signs is illegal.

Armitage was released from the St. Johns County Jail this morning. She's charged with grand theft for having those signs. She's also charged with battery after a woman who confronted Armitage about taking the signs claimed Armitage opened her car door and hit the woman in the back.

Wow - you are right. She sure is ugly.

Perhaps.  But Kerry is still more ugly period, under any circumstances, male, female, or hermaphrodite.

[M Kehoe]

If Kerry's bunch is elected, they will come after more than just campaign signs.

And that's when it starts.

Is it something in the water?

[Congressman Billybob]

"She fell out the top of an ugly tree, and hit every branch on the way down." That's how we say it hereabouts.

[DarthVader]

No she is the spawn of sKerry and a maggot.

[OldSmaj]

I can imagine what the rest of her looks like:

Unshaven pits and legs.

Birkenstocks and thick ankles.

Or wait;

This is isn't the picture you find in the Funk-Wagnalls when you look up "liberal", is it?

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) :

Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
Hysteric.] (Med.)
A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
paroxism or fits.

Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
throat. The affection presents the most varied
symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
alone.

OMG, she is uglier than Rosie O'Donnell! She has probably been angry since the first time she looked in a mirror. This (whatever she is) is two bag ugly. One bag ugly is when you bring a paper bag and put it over her head while in her presence. A two bag ugly is when you put a bag on her head and one on your head in case her bag comes off while in her presence. She is the poster girl for Rush Limbaugh's term "feminatzi".

[smonk]

my, my, my. is that a little girl, or a little boy?

[Lunkhead_01]

No she is the spawn of sKerry and a maggot.

That's what I wrote, isn't it? The offspring (=spawn) of John Forbe sKerry and Teresa Hein zKerry (= a maggot).
