BOISE, Idaho (AP) - The adult sons of an Idaho state senator are in hot water with authorities in Idaho's capital city after two American flags dedicated to soldiers killed in Iraq were vandalized.
Twenty-four-year-old Michael Burkett was arrested and 22-year-old Thomas Burkett was cited for allegedly damaging flags and flagpoles on the grounds of the Idaho Capitol building this morning.
Police say Michael Burkett also resisted and obstructed officers.
Boise Police say one flag pole had been bent so the flag was lying on the ground, the other had been pulled from the ground.
Their father is Boise Senator Mike Burkett, a Democrat facing Republican Charles Seldon in Tuesday's election.
Senator Burkett says he thinks his sons are innocent, while the boys' mother, Sharon Burkett, says the entire event was a "misunderstanding."
Democrats just doing what they learn at their Daddy's knee.
Damn! It's almost like Republican operatives PAID these morons to screw up dad's election.
DNC equivalent of suicide bombers
Just another democrat 'innocent' 'mistake'....

Title was slightly different, so don't get all over me about being the duplicate post police!
I'm just trying to be helpful.
Sloppy, they were just Sloppy.

The evil politician making these poor, misunderestimated democrat youths stoop to this veteran-offending act was:
a. Karl Rove
b. John Kerry
c. John Kerry with Karl Rove's hand in his back
d. Howard Dean
Michael Burkett was charged with malicious injury to property and resisting and obstructing officers.
Oh, I'm sorry, was I not supposed to destroy American flags that don't belong to me?
DNC press release: "DAMN THEM... for getting caught"
And remember , that is " Burrr-Quet ", french don't you know.
Polite, well-mannered and respectful looking isn't he.
NOT
This is liberal fruit if ever you saw it. Spoiled, arrogant and irresponsible.

Our children certainly do know how to keep us humble.
Just like Wisconsin, 2004, where Rat politician's sons slashed tires of GOP GOTV vans. They were sentenced to a few months in jail earlier this year.
With a face like that, he better not drop the soap in jail.
This sort of thing seems to be going around this year. A 15-year-old girl was just arrested in a town near here for burning a flag at the Legion hall.
