    Ex-Congressman Bob Etheridge Gets New Government Job

    A college student reporter ask the simple question: “Do you fully support the Obama agenda?”

    You remember the flap when North Crolina Congressman Bob Etheridge went beserk, assaulted a student, then apologized.

    Well, Etheridge was defeated for re-election as Michelle tells the story about his new government gig.

    Etheridge was ousted in November by GOP newcomer Renee Elmers.

    But arrogant pols never die. They just land new taxpayer-funded gigs.

    Good grief – these old POLS just never seem to go away.

    He will earn about  $100K a year in his new, make work government job.

    Gov. Beverly Perdue said Tuesday she has appointed the Democrat to oversee North Carolina’s share of the federal stimulus program. Etheridge replaces Dempsey Benton, who departed his position at the Office of Economic Recovery and Investment in November.

    Money will go through the program through at least 2012, but nearly 80 percent of the recovery funds have already been spent. Etheridge will oversee how the money is dispersed and make sure projects under contract are getting done.

    North Carolina Congressman Bob Etheridge Goes Beserk, Assaults a Student, Then Apologizes


    A college student reporter ask the simple question: “Do you fully support the Obama agenda?”

    This MORON can kiss his political ass good bye. In fact, Rep. Bob Etheridge should be charged with assault and battery and thrown in jail.

    The conversation:

    Student: “Hi Congressman.”
    Etheridge: “Hi.”
    Student: “How are you?”
    Student: “Do you fully support the Obama agenda?”
    Etheridge: “Who are you?, Who are you?” (Etheridge goes beserk and proceeds to assault the student. He then grabs the student and won’t let go.)
    Etheridge: “Who are you?, Who are you?” “Tell me who you are.”
    Student: “Just here for a project sir.”
    Etheridge: “Tell me who you are.”
    Student: We’re just here for a project.”
    Etheridge: “I don’t care.” (still holding the wrist of the student)
    Student: “Will you please let go of my hand.”
    Etheridge: “Tell me who you are.”
    Student: “I’m just a student sir.”
    Etheridge: “From?”
    Student: “We’re just students”
    Etheridge: “I have a right to know who you are.”
    Student: “All we are are students.”
    Student: “We’re in a public place.”
    Etheridge: “So am I. Who are you? Who are you?”
    Student: “Please let go of my arm.”
    Etheridge: “Who are you?” (then grabs the back of the students neck and pulls him close to him.)
    Student: “Sir, sir, sir, please sir.”
    Etheridge: “Who are you?” (Student breaks free).

    It makes NO difference who the students were or who sent them. This is unacceptable behavior and a crime.

    Who cares about an apology?
