Republican Delegate Who Advocated Taking Iran's Money and Oil Falls Victim to $120,000 Burglary a Few Hours Later

While in Minneapolis for the RNC, Colorado Republican delegate, Gabriel Schwartz gave the following interview in which he said that the US should invade Iran and pay for that invasion by taking Iranian oil and money as reimbursement:

According to the twincities.com, a few hours later he met a random woman at a swank hotel bar and invited her to his hotel room, where she mixed drinks and told him to get undressed. That was the last thing he remembered before waking up and finding $120,000 worth of money and valuables stolen. Stolen items are probably those of the average Republican delegate: $30,000 watch, a $20,000 ring, a $5,000 necklace, $4,000 earrings, a $1,000 Prada belt, $1,000 "purse or wallet," $1,500 cell phone, $500 in case, and his cheapo $50 rings.

It is a shame when a Republican one night stand has to end like an invasion of Iran.

Ever the Diplomat, Freddie T. Wants to Send the Iranians to Their Virgins

Even as the veracity of the Bush Administration's Iraq-War-like dispatch on those Iranian speedboats is coming off its own hinges, tonight Tennessee's Thompson "suggests casually that if Iran’s Revolutionary Guard becomes more hostile, the Iranians will see those virgins they’ve been looking for."

I wonder if he may regret saying that one day like President Bush eventually regretting saying, "Bring 'em on" back in 2003.
