Celebrity justice: A lawyer for the state Franchise Tax Board was jailed last weekend after harassing Sacramento City Councilman Robbie Waters and dozens of other people over the election of President Bush. "I was going to Bel Air to mail a letter and pick up some steaks for dinner, and this guy just went off," Robbie said. "He said, 'Hey, Robbie Waters. Why don't you punch me in the face? Your man Bush won, and you're real proud. Come on, kick me, you (expletive).'" Robbie, a former cop and Sacramento County sheriff, decided not to tangle with the man, Craig Swieso, even when he followed Robbie into the supermarket on Rush River Drive. The councilman called police and waited in the market manager's office. "For the first time in my life, I just walked away," Waters said. "I wanted to get my steaks home." Police arrested Swieso, 46, when he refused to calm down. "I made an ass of myself," Craig said. "I was confronting affluent white males about voting for Bush. They swagger like they they are tough. I was asking them how tough they really are." Swieso, who is white, spent eight hours in jail.

Another dim that needs to be on medicine.
Who are the facists here? Dems get really nasty.
Those California fruits and nuts are delightful, aren't they?
So......Oh never mind. This man is inane! Beyond logic. LOL
I wonder what he's like when he's off his meds.
Now he's going to pick on Arnold. Smart move, O Mental Giant.
Want some fun? Google this guy. Apparently he's a 'recovering' alcoholic AND working in the California government.
"I was confronting affluent white males about voting for Bush. They swagger like they they are tough. I was asking them how tough they really are." Swieso, who is white, spent eight hours in jail."
Hmmm, I think his candidate was an affluent white male too. But I guess this guy is just too stupid to realize that.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Actually, Kerry was more an effluent white male.
Craig Swieso, even when he followed Robbie into the supermarket on Rush River Drive.
I used to live across the street from that Bel Air grocery store... Glad I moved...
There's no medical cure for being an a$$hole...
"Swieso thinks medication contributed to his outburst. "That's no excuse," he said, adding his new goal is unseating Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. ..."
First he tries to pick a fight with a cop, then he wants to go after a bodybuilder. Maybe the medication he's taking is idiot pills.
If this guy is a lawyer he needs to be disbarred for using the "white" word. I find that very offensive.
This guy is an attorney?
Didn't he learn anything in law school?
Oh right he is blaming it on meds, I guess that he did learn something.
forgot to take his lithium today (like most good liberals).
I think I probably would have let the steaks wait a little bit
He should have simply stopped with the first statement.
I think you might have something there.....
