BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- Authorities said Kathryn Weldon made it clear to Brevard County deputies when they were arresting her that she was the daughter of a congressman and would have lawyers waiting at the jail.

But deputies said she didn't get any special treatment. Weldon, 21, was booked, put in jailhouse clothing and sat in the Brevard County jail for more than three hours waiting to get bailed out.

The oldest child of republican Congressman Dave Weldon is accused of taking off a high heel shoe and hitting a security guard at the County Line Saloon across the face with it.

Do we know what he said, or do we just know what the media says he said? Maybe he got it right but somebody wrote it down wrong. Most spell-checks wouldn’t help, because both are real words spelled correctly.

I’m sure that Jenna has cleaned up her act. Now Chelsea is another matter. Don’t you remember the pics of her drunk, falling out of a taxi in London? Oh, that’s right, our media never printed them. They have always protected Chelsea.

If he had been a Democrat, the paper would have identified him as “Rep. Dave Weldon”.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

When we elect someone to office, we get them, their wives, their children, their baggage...

We need to look at the whole picture...

Well, you will say, we are only electing one person as POTUS, sentor, congressman etc...

Think...

With Carter we got Billy Beer...

(Although his sister was a preacher and his Mom in the Peace Corp)

With Bill Clinton we got Hillary... (two for one)

NYC had to endure the embarrassment of Rudy announcing his desire for a divorce to his wife in a loud and clear public forum

President Bush has had trouble with the twins..

No seemingly wholesome family is immune for black sheepitis...

Can you say “Kennedy”

It’s always been pretty easy for me.

I just talked to someone who said Haridoupolis and Bill Posey from Rockledge are going after this seat. I haven’t researched either of them yet so....

Some story that I read said that the man was injured and had medical attention and returned to work bandaged...not a simple slap with a flat sole?

To those reading this and not familiar with the area covered by this district:

The district extends down into Indian River County south of Vero Beach and West into Osceola County into the edge of the Orlando/Kissimmee area. It also includes part of Titusville/Merritt Island to our north.

There will be a lot of challengers I believe...Term limits in the state offices make it attractive too.
