Jeff Clemens shows no vanity

Comment Up
In 1983, the Legislature passed a bill allowing lawmakers to purchase special vanity license plates to use while they're in office.

In the Florida Legislature there are 86 legislators (63 in the House and 23 in the Senate) driving with the specialty plates. Four former lawmakers are driving with their specialty plate, a second-degree misdemeanor, according to the state.

Rep. Jeff Clemens briefly regretted his decision to not buy the tag when an officer pulled him over on Interstate 10 en route to Tallahassee last April. He was going 79 in a 70.

"It did cross my mind, would it have been different if I had the plate?" the Lake Worth Democrat said. "It also crossed my mind for a second that I'd spent the entire last legislative session defending the pensions of state workers. But I just kept my mouth shut."

No surprise to me, Jeff Clemens is the biggest pompous waste of a human I have ever come across. I have submitted his name to the School of Proctology at the University of Miami to grant him the title "Perfect Rectal Orifice" which he deserves very much.

Here, here! Well said. Because we all know that teachers, firemen and the police unions are destroying this country. It has absolutely nothing to do with the trillions the government has spent on 2 pointless wars, or the unchecked corporate corruption and cheating.

How much did Obama spend in Libya?

Corporate corruption and cheating is condoned by the government. Look how worthless the SEC is. Look at the number of lobbyists in Washington. The system is corrupt. It's no wonder Allen West keeps running into obstacles--it is the Congress in general.
