Oh Look, Another Weird Republican
I want you to meet Georgia Republican Congressman (start cringing) Tom Graves. Tom and his legislative aide were out and about last week and at about 11:15 pm they noticed that the congressman’s car got robbed.
Two guns, a driver’s license, credit cards, birth certificates, a laptop and a Bible were among the items stolen from a parked SUV belonging to U.S. Rep. Tom Graves, R-Ga., according to Atlanta police.
Numerous personal items were reported stolen, including items inside a backpack belonging to Graves’ son and a purse belonging to his wife. Both bags were left in the back seat. Graves told police his congressional ID, numerous bank cards, a checkbook, passport and Social Security papers were also missing.
Good Lord, all we need is a fifth of scotch and it would be Hunter Thompson’s car.
If you, like me, think it’s weird that he was carrying around a guns and a Bible, think about this – social security papers, passports, and birth certificates? In his car? I’m telling you, this guy is up to no good.
Items were also removed from his wife’s purse and his son’s backpack that were in the backseat. Has anybody check their whereabouts? I mean, seriously, either this guy is running guns for the Sandinistas or just killed somebody and is trying to get out of the country.
Thanks to Chloe Bear for the heads up.
I think the Bible theft is a fiction for PR. What self-respecting thief is going to take one? Imagine the discussion with his fence!
1Sounds like Georgia Republican Congressman Tom Graves lost a go bag. Alternate name on the bank cards and pass port Herr Graves? Vee vill make you talk.
2Kudos to Wyatt Earl for detecting the Bible ruse. It’s hard to imagine there being a big demand for black market fairy tales.
3I hate to be suspicious but sounds to me like something was going on here. I could not even tell you where my birth certificate is ,let alone the bible. Sounds all a bit “fake ‘ to me.
4The Bible was probably where he keeps his passwords.
5He must be a friend of Devin Nunes. The slightly less st00pid one as evidenced by his attempt to leave first; albeit failed attempt.
The snacilbupeR caucus is split between those trying to stay one step ahead of Bob Muller and those checking their rear views for the telltale pitter-pat of Vlad’s footmen.
6Go bag is right! Total amateur night, also right! He needs some deep, refined FBI grilling. Along with his entire staff.
7He probably used passages in the Bible for passwords.
8He just can’t deal with the fact that his wife and kid got raptured and he was left behind.
9And, what was he doing out with a staff member (male) on a Saturday night in Atlanta? Could not have been a bible study class the bible was in the car.
10The late Hunter S. Thompson in whatever condition would have known the make and model of any gun in his vehicle.
11Out with a staff member late at night in Atlanta with a go bag + guns in the car. That’s just wierd beyond imagination. I love to hear him explain it. I’ll bet his cover story is a doozy.
12What woman/ mother leaves her purse in the back seat of a car?
13What kid leaves his backpack( unless loaded with books/homework) in the car.
This stinks. Wonder what he is covering up.
Yep, he has something dirty to hide. He might be afraid of the Russian poison apple cocktail. Or perhaps, he wanted someone to steal, and copy this stuff, so he left his car unlocked. Makes one wonder who else is involved in this.
14I’m with Wyatt Earl on the “stolen” Bible.
But, let me play devil’s advocate for a moment. If in fact a Bible is recovered by the police, I’m betting that stamped inside the front cover is Gideon, and the name of the motel where Graves and his aide booked a room just before the burglary.
15To be serious for a moment, the ammosexuals who have to drag their guns everywhere in their vehicles are now a (maybe the) chief source of criminals’ guns. In some places there are so many guns left in trucks and cars that gun thieves don’t bother to break into houses; they just break into vehicles.
16The bible probably had a hollowed out compartment. You know, for his crack pipe.
17But the first thing that sprang to mind was Slim Pickins. “A feller could have a purty good time in Paris with this stuff.”
Rick is probably correct; the idiot and his “aide” forgot to lock the car in their hot-blooded rush to get into the room.
18The staffer, Loudermilk, is the son of another Georgia U.S. congressman. As Old Quaker notes, there were guns plural in the car–Loudermilk had a Glock which also was stolen. With so much stuff stolen, they still didn’t notice until later that anything was missing!
19Yeah, I’m with Wyatt Earl on this one. Besides that, the last time I left my purse in my “locked” car, I was 17 and attending a high school dance (and yes, it got stolen). Some of us have actually learned it’s best not to leave anything in your car that you still want to own. Should these people have court-appointed guardians?!?
20What sex was the “aide”?
21I’m pretty sure I never left my purse in the back seat of my husband’s car when he was out on the town Saturday night. Which never happened without me.
What’s up, Family Values Party?
22Here’s Graves bio!

Make sure you’ve got something to throw-up in, cause you’re going to need it!
23I know exactly where the parking garage is from which his go bag and guns were stolen. It’s dead downtown ATL.
There is absolutely no reason to be there at 11:15 at night on the weekend. There isn’t anything around there. Why in hell park on the 4th level at that time of night.
Unless of course he and his “friend” needed a private place for their secret rendezvous to plan their “escape.”
24Oh and BTW Rep Graves home county, White County is named after someone named White , but it is also a very ‘white’ place. As of the 2010 census it is 95.1% white, 1.7% black.
Also there is no town or community in White County called White, so who the hell knows what his hometown is.
