Nah, stupidity sank his ship. Remember, he dared the media to follow him
around looking for his dalliances.


yeah, that's right. They took him up on his bet.


and he lost.

Which reminds me, and I know this is swaying OT, but who was the old
geezer sen. congressman etc, that used to like to hang out in strip
clubs and took a favor to a Brazilian (I think) stripper?


that didn't do him any favors either.....

Wilbur Mills...and the gal was Fanne Fox or some variation of spelling.
It was one of the great moments of Congress.

Don't the "Darwin Award" have a lesser award for people who almost remove
their unwanted genes from the pool?
I'd say this guy is a candidate.

Almost? Are you sure he didn't die, after the usual three weeks or so?

Find out the guy was a bad alcoholic. Maybe he DID have a talking
horse..


From Wiki:

Mills was involved in a traffic incident on October 7, 1974. His car,
driven by a former Nixon staffer, was stopped by U.S. Park Police late
at night because the driver had not turned on the lights. Mills was
intoxicated, and his face was cut from a scuffle with Annabella
Battistella, better known as Fanne Fox, a stripper from Argentina.
When police approached the car, Foxe leapt from the car and jumped
into the nearby Tidal Basin. She was taken to St. Elizabeth's Mental
Hospital for treatment.

Despite the scandal, Mills was re-elected to Congress in November 1974
in a heavily Democratic year with nearly 60 percent of the vote. He
defeated the Republican Judy Petty. In December 1974, Mills, seemingly
drunk, was accompanied by Fanne Foxe's husband onstage at a Boston
strip club where Ms. Foxe was performing. Soon after this second
public incident, Mills stepped down from his chairmanship of the Ways
and Means Committee, acknowledged his alcoholism, joined Alcoholics
Anonymous, and checked himself into Palm Beach Institute at West Palm
Beach. [2] [3] He did not seek re-election in 1976, devoted his time
to counseling individual alcoholics, and raising funds for alcoholic
treatment centers, including one founded in his honor at Searcy,
Arkansas, the Wilbur D. Mills Treatment Center for Alcohol and Drugs.
He was succeeded by Jim Guy Tucker.


Regardless of which, or what party.


It happens.

Naw, that's for those who remove themselves *after* breeding.

He dove off the boat and was picked up immediately. He probably didn't
feel anything but the compression blast.
