15 Second Hall of Shame: Sheriff Leon Lott

February 16, 2009

Dear Sheriff - I have already wasted words ranting at you so I will keep this short.

You should be ashamed of yourself. You wanted your 15 seconds of shame and you got it.

Are you proud of yourself? Are you proud of your use of resources?

Did you get the reaction you were seeking?

While you were investigating this ridiculousness against Micheal Phelps - who had already apologized for his behavior and was already shamed beyond recompense - how many women were beaten by their boyfriends or raped by their spouses in your jurisdiction?

How many children were destroyed for life by pedophiles and unregistered sex offenders in your jurisdiction?

How many single mothers lost their jobs in your jurisdiction?

How many seniors lost their homes in your jurisdiction?

How many parents were sent to war and how many came home battered and broken to your jurisdiction?

Could you not have used your resources to sit and talk with them? To ask them how they are coping? To simply say thank you?

They are over there fighting for your family's freedom and you chose to bring shame to the greatest American Olympian - something they could take pride in as an American - instead of welcoming them home.

Look into the camera with your hand on the Bible and swear that you never took one hit, one pill, one snort, one shot or one anything of any illegal substance and then American children can take you seriously.

15 SECONDS HALL OF SHAME

Sheriff Leon Lott, Richland County, South Carolina

(www.rcsd.net)

Yo, sheriff, what's barry doing in this picture?

TIME'S PERSON OF THE YEAR

(LISA JACK)

barry - the Commander in Chief and President of the United States - is in charge of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, CIA, FBI, DEA, ATF, NSA, Secret Service, US Marshalls, Homeland Security, Justice Department and whatever else he couldn't even do your job with his history of drug use.

How many of your officers have been suspended for drug use?

And what did Michael Phelps not do that barry the bonger has?

SNORT COCAINE.

And who are kids supposed to look up to?

Phelps: "I've been waking up to guys yelling into megaphones outside my window at 7am"

February 5, 2009

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I inhaled…frequently. That was the point.

Does anyone deserve this? A single bing hit? Did he snort cocaine like the President of the United States? Here are Micheal Phelps' own words. I think the picture says it all. It is so wrong. Just wrong. I truly wish I could find that person.

Michael Phelps

(AP) No one should have to feel this way.

Yeah, there are still goals that I have in the pool, 100 percent. But I'm not going to let anything stand in my way. If I decide to walk away, I'll decide to walk away on my own terms. If it's now, if it's four years, who knows. But it is something I need to think about and decide what I want to do.

Does he smoke marijuana regularly?

This was stupid, and I know this won't happen again. It's obviously bad judgment, and it's something I'm not proud of at all.

I will say that with the mistakes that I've made in my life, I've learned from them. Every one of them. And I've become a better person.

That's what I plan to do from here. It's definitely not what I wanted, and it's clearly not what my mom wanted.

And what was the scumbag thinking? Did they consider his mother at all? I'm starting to wonder if it was a female. Why would anyone do this? Why haven't they been outed? I just can't get my head around it. And this is what has been happening to Phelps - all because of their selfishness and greed.

I've been waking up to guys yelling into megaphones outside my window at 7 o'clock in the morning. I've been through just about everything you can go through. I've had paparazzi people following me from my house to my mom's house. People knocking on the door. It's crazy.

Knocking on his door and bothering his mother. At least he can find sanctuary in the pool. But how much of it is desire to get in the pool and how much a desire to get away from the press?

It makes me happy. It's a part of me I've always had, and I've always been happy doing it. I like getting up in the morning and having something to do. On Monday we get back to two-a-day [practices], and I'm looking forward to that. I feel more comfortable here. This is my home.

It's good to know his foundation is still going. I hope whoever funds it realizes that the kids will look up to him even more. Yes. The best athlete in the cosmos makes a mistake, owns up to it, says he's sorry, takes his punishment and moves on. What better role model is that? What athlete has done that? And a mother and son cannot be any closer.

I think this is like the DUI, in that it's something I can talk more about and make sure that nobody makes the same mistakes I made. What I've gone through in the last week, no one wants to go through.

I sure hope that's all the scumbags do. Are people this jealous or hateful or greedy or what? An autograph he didn't sign? Why isn't anyone asking what the photographer was doing in the room. If they saw a "crime" being committed aren't they obligated to call the police? I just cannot understand this.

There are always people you can't trust. During the whole thing, I've really been able to see who my friends are, who my family are, and who really loves and supports me. They've stood by my side, from the countless text messages, phone messages, e-mails, those are your friends. All those people who are around during the good times? Those aren't your friends.

Barry the bonger: Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it.

Phelps: barred 3 months, Kellogg will not renew contract

February 6, 2009

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: "I inhaled…frequently. That was the point."

And now comes the professional penalties - as if the public shaming and blogging wasn't enough. Don't stop hounding him when he's up and won't leave him alone when someone brings him down. Source: CNN.

USA Swimming: withdrawing financial support for Phelps and barring him from competition for three months.

This is not a situation where any anti-doping rule was violated, but we decided to send a strong message to Michael because he disappointed so many people, particularly the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming-member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero.

Michael has voluntarily accepted this reprimand and has committed to earn back our trust.

Kellogg's is not going to renew his contract. It was up at the end of February so it makes you wonder if it was a convenient way not to have to pay him more money. Kellogg is worked with the Olympic Team but did not renew their sponsorship in December. Maybe it was a Kellogg employee.

Spokeswoman Susanne Norwitz: Michael's most recent behavior is not consistent with the image of Kellogg.

The U.S. Olympic Committee:

Michael has acknowledged that he made a mistake and apologized for his actions. We are confident that, going forward, Michael will consistently set the kind of example we all expect from a great Olympic champion.

What did Micheal Phelps do that the President of the United States has not done?

February 3, 2009

1-Did not snort cocaine.

2-Won 8 Gold Medals in the Olympics.

3-Mentions and thanks his mother at every turn.

What did Micheal Phelps do that three presidential candidates - one a present US Senator and previous democratic nominee, one an adulterer and previous vice presidential candidate and one a well-regarded Reverend?

4-Admitted it right away.

What has Micheal Phelps done that two presidents have not done?

5-Always treated his opponents with respect.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpBzQI_7ez8]

[harvesteroftruth2]

John Kerry, Rev Al Sharpton and adulterer John Edwards admit to smoking marijuana on camera during a 2004 presidential debate - barry to an interviewer.

Barry: I inhaled...frequently. That was the point.

So what is the big deal with Micheal Phelps smoking a bong?

Why the double standard?

Marijuana, if you aren't aware, is not exactly a performance enhancing drug. He was not using it (if in fact he was) during a time in which he was competing. He has had 100% clean drug testing and he has to be the most tested athlete in Olympic history.

Want to talk about Olympic athletes?

Girls as young as 11 were competing for China in the Olympics. Forget what they say - they had their ages printed in China's own papers the year before. A simple examination of their teeth would have definitively proven they weren't 16. At least one still had her teeth coming in. Did the IOC demand dental xrays? Bone xrays? No. China manufactured birth certificates.

I think The American People know how birth certificates can be gotten around or forged or whatever you choose to believe. And yet the ineligible to compete Chinese gymnasts have gold medals that it appears will never be taken away because no one wanted to "embarrass the host nation".

What is that teaching children, including the gymnasts themselves?

What type of Olympic role models are they?

And what did our government do to Marion Jones while Roger Clemens was testifying (rhymes with lying) and demonstrating his red-faced Roid Rage and blaming his wife like the honorable Hall of Famer he might just one day become? What about all-time home run leader - asterisker Barry Bonds? Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire? Ricky Williams?

What did Phelps choose to do that they did not?

1-Admitted to it upfront.

2-Did not take performance enhancing drugs.

3-Did not have to cheat to reach an athletic excellence that most likely will never be matched - even by him.

And why does anyone care if in fact he tried to prevent the photo's release? Who in their right mind wouldn't?

What was done to keep this despicable photo from getting out?

Can you name this high ranking member of barry's White House? The one on the left pulling the hair and cupping the breast of a life-size image of the nation's highest diplomat and former barry opponent, while his buddy in the official OBAMA STAFF t-shirt was kissing her and putting a beer to her lips?

None other than 27 y/o Chief White House speechwriter, Jon Favreau, who will be writing the words the President of the United States will be reading from the teleprompter to the world. Any wonder why there were no inauguration words addressing the mistreatment and exploitation of women throughout the world?

And what words did he use to apologize? The same ones he wrote to attack Madame Secretary Hillary Clinton day after day for 18 months?

Was he man enough to apologize face to face? Did barry hold him accountable? No. He allowed Favreau to "reach out to her" in an email that was never published or proven to exist.

What would have happened if it were Michelle's tit?

Would he have still had a job - let alone been appointed Chief White House speechwriter?

Phelps at least made his words known to the entire world:

I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.

And the cowardly scum who sent the picture should be outed and disgraced in public and in the blogosphere - if they haven't already. They wanted their 15 seconds of shame - then they should get it.

Is nothing sacred anywhere?

How many other scumbag sellouts have been hovering around him just to do something like this? What did they get for the photo vs what Micheal Phelps stands to lose? What effort and discipline went into a one second cowardly photo vs the years of hard work, sacrifice and discipline to represent our country in the highest sports arena there is?

Phelps has started a foundation to get children to exercise and be productive - to get them into a safe environment - to help them build their self-esteem and combat obesity, which leads to high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attacks and strokes to mention a few.

Isn't that what barry wants? Disease prevention? Who is actually doing something about it instead of giving speeches written by tit grabbing infantile pig?

What are the chances Micheal Phelps would ever even think of disrespecting a woman like that? Any women - least of all the former First Lady of the United States?

What is more important: a hit off a bong or a lifetime of respect for women?

Did the scumbag who took the picture consider the potential loss of funding when they made their selfish, spineless choice? If they wanted their 15 seconds of shame and some dirty cash then why aren't they coming forward and admitting to it?

You "just say no" folks think Phelps is a bad role model and should be arrested?

And barry?

How many kids look up to the President of the United States?

How many of Phelps' sponsors donated to barry?

Have you ever heard barry the bonger and coke snorter make a single Public Service Announcement?

Has he read his own words to kids?

Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance -- Barack Obama, President of the United States:

Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it.

Have you ever heard him in his staged reading sessions to kids mention that the "evils of drug use" include smoking and Nicorette use?

Has he admitted to them that he is and has been addicted to nicotine for decades? That nicotine is more addicting than marijuana? That nicotine has serious health risks not associated with marijuana use?

Has he spoken to them about the effect his continued smoking has on his daughter with asthma? The message he is sending to her and children everywhere by continuing to ingest/inhale nicotine?

What message did the picture below send to children? Smoking is cool? Smoke and you can be president, too?

Kids know what a joint is, how it is smoked and how a person's eyes look when they are smoking it. Try to convince a kid that is not a spliff.

Regardless of what it is - he is smoking.

How is that being a role model to anyone?

And the title of the magazine?

PERSON OF THE YEAR: BARACK OBAMA

(LISA JACK via Huffington Post)

And Phelps?

How many kids does he talk to a year? How many kids watched the Olympics? How many kids will he reach up close and personal in his lifetime?

What better lesson could they learn than even the best swimmer in history makes mistakes? The importance of owning up to them, the need to sincerely apologize, to be held accountable, to vow to do better and then follow through with actions?

See any of the aforementioned athletes doing that?

barry's cabinet picks?

What does a kid learn by watching the President of the United States appoint someone who will be in charge of punishing those who do not pay their taxes when he hasn't paid them himself or been punished because of it?

And what better relationship does a son have with his mother? A mother whom he credits 100% for his success and thanks her at every turn? A mother he has never abandoned - nor she him?

Did the scumbag factor that in?

Marijuana has been used for centuries -as far back as 2700.years ago. Now it is thought to be an alternative medication for ADD, which Phelps has. If he lived in California, he could get marijuana out of a vending machine.

DEA JUDGE, FRANCIS L YOUNG:

Marijuana is the safest therapeutically active substance known to man... safer than many foods we commonly consume.

And the British tabloid editor should rot in hell. It is reminiscent of the nasty brits who see fit to pontificate about American politics - including blueblood and cookbook author Richard Wolffe, Chris Hitchins the self-proclaimed "pisser" aka drunk, and Andrew Sullivan, who admitted he is HIV positive and that he solicited unprotected sex and yet criticized President Clinton and wanted Governor Palin's medical records released because he is unable to count to nine.

I digress.

Both the University of South Carolina and Columbia, South Carolina police have said they would not pursue charges but the Richland County Carolina Sheriff''s Office wants to get his 15 seconds of shame. That is all it is. South Carolina state law.

SHERIFF LEON LOTT: If someone breaks the law in Richland County, we have an obligation as law enforcement to investigate and to bring charges. The Richland County Sheriff's Department is making an effort to determine if Mr. Phelps broke the law. If he did, he will be charged in the same manner as anyone else. The sheriff has a responsibility to be fair, to enforce the law and to not turn a blind eye because someone is a celebrity.

Don't they have rapists, murderers and pedophiles in Richland County? Husbands beating their wives, children, mothers and sisters?

How many rape kits and restraining orders could be processed with the time and money spent investigating this ridiculousness?

Yo, Sheriff, since it seems you have nothing else to do, want to talk about things needing investigation?

Such as those committed by adult married men with children, who have been in public positions of influence for years and who confessed only because they were seeking top positions in the United States Government? Positions they were appointed to by the President of the United States who claimed "superior judgment" as his basis to be Commander in Chief.

Did our now president display superior judgment at Micheal Phelps' age, when he was sucking on his own bong and snorting coke through those dollar bills he said doesn't resemble?

For whom did you vote, Sheriff?

For the man who, because of his admitted drug use, could not even do your job?

For the man now responsible for the DEA, FBI, CIA, ATF, USAF, Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Homeland Security, NSA, Secret Service, US Marshals and Intelligence agencies?

For the man who rewards criminal and reprehensible behavior with prestigious positions in his Cabinet?

What in your professional opinion, Sheriff, are the chances the admitted tax evaders will be ever be investigated and what do you think their punishment should be?

Is the Justice Department turning a blind eye because of barry's celebrity?

And would their little letters and much too late only because they were caught public apologies work to keep them out of jail in your jurisdiction?
