Southern Sheriff Pulls Over Obama Campaign Bus For Broken Taillight
Fox News
FOXWORTH, MS—Despite obeying the posted speed limit and having all inspection, registration, and insurance do entation up to date, Sen. Barack Obama's campaign bus was stopped for nearly four hours by Marion County deputy sheriff Dewey Clutter while en route to a Jackson, MS speech, sources reported Tuesday.
According to those on board the bus—including various journalists, members of the Secret Service, and Obama campaign staffers—several minutes passed before Clutter exited his cruiser. Witness statements all mention hearing the sheriff's jackbooted footsteps along the gravel roadside as he slowly approached the vehicle's passenger side. These reports also assert that, prior to reaching the front of the campaign bus, the sheriff paused momentarily to smash the right rear taillight of the bus before dragging his still-drawn baton along the entire length of the vehicle.
"Where's the fire, son?" Clutter, 42, was overheard saying to the Illinois senator and 2008 Democratic presidential nominee. "Driving like that in these parts, what with a busted taillight and all, fella like you liable to get hisself into a whole mess a trouble."
Obama protested briefly before Clutter interrupted the graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, brusquely informing the senator that he could "detain [Obama's] uppity ass for 48 hours without charging [him] with ."
"Huh. Illinois," Clutter said while scrutinizing Obama's driver's license from behind a pair of mirrored aviator sunglasses. "You a long way from home, ain't ya?"
"Now Barry, someone 'bout your height, 'bout your skin color knocked over a Piggly Wiggly up in New Hebron just a coupla hours ago," Clutter continued. "But you wouldn't know nothin' 'bout that, now would you?"
Clutter then turned to Obama's wife, Mic e, looked her up and down, and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

Cue feigned outrage in 3....2....1....
Nice.
Buford T. Justice, one of the classic characters in cinematic history. Was he in all the Bandit movies? I know Burt Reynolds wasn't even in the last movie or two. I doubt Jackie Gleason would have signed on without him.
I only ever saw the original.

You didn't miss anything. The last two were terrible.
I did grow up wanting a '77/'78 Trans Am after seeing those movies.
My very first car was an '83 Trans Am (it was 10 years old by that time) -
It was the Knight Rider Trans Am, but I still wanted the Bandit Trans Am.
I'd still get one if my wife would let me.
My neighbor has an original 6.6 with the screaming hood chicken...rides like complete , but cool.You didn't miss anything. The last two were terrible.

My first ride was a '67 'stang fastback with a top loader; and a hot 302 (not original)....this is quickly devolving into a club thread.
