They Call THAT a Bar Fight?
Oh, it’s getting good.
An aide for Rand Paul claims that an aide for Marco Rubio “assaulted him” in a bar on Mackinac Island in Michigan.
What the hell is wrong with these people? I watched the video and it was a little shove. A bar fight involves broken Lone Star bottles, couple of broken chairs, three black eyes, at least one ambulance, and some stitches, not some guy in khaki shorts, a button down shirt and LL Bean loafers.
The Paul aide, who is claiming he was assaulted, provided the video but it cuts off directly after the shove. That’s just real convenient.
No word yet on if a Hillary aide gave a noogie to a Bernie aide.
Thanks to chloe bear for the heads up.
Who won? America.
1Sounds more like “Mommmmmyyyy, he hit me!” At which point Mommy said what were you doing hanging around a bar that time of night anyway?
2Miz JJ’s right… That’s the start of “broken Lone Star bottles, couple of broken chairs, three black eyes, at least one ambulance, and some stitches,”. Followed by “Whadda looking at Trumphole?” “Not very d*mn much.” THEN the broken Lone Star bottles, etc etc.
3He’s not doing himself a favor. His kind of ‘Mericans like the guy who threw the sucker punch , not the punchee.
He apparently doesn’t know his audience.
4This what he meant to say happened- Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a’ gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.
Thanks to Uncle Shel Silverstein for the lyrics.
5Even in Kentucky that’s not called a fight.
6That’s a Major Altercation in MN! We’re known for “Minnesota Nice”, which is actually a highly refined form of passive/aggression.
(Except for the muders in Minneapolis and St. Paul. Those don’t count. No, I don’t know why they don’t count, they just don’t!)
7If that’s how Republicans intend to invade Iran, Iraq, and Syria, I’m OK with it.
8That’s more like a couple high school girls being pushy bitchy!
9Don’t forget the busted pool cue and a P.O.’d bartender with a shotgun. Not that I would know Mama, not that I would know…..
10If not a noogie, how about pulling his whitey-tighties up over his head? Probably wouldn’t hurt him too bad; gotta have something to disrupt for that to happen.
11Not likely to go over well, trey taqui.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mackinac_Island#Sailing
Mackinac Island is a very upscale resort place, to stay overnight, (some riff-raff are allowed on island for a day visit from the St. Ignace and MCity ferries).
As far as buying a summer home there, yeah, right; those places are handed down through the generations.
And I’d be surprised if the bar even stocked Lone Star.
(my visits to MacI were long ago Port Huron to Mackinac Boat Races as crew: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Huron_to_Mackinac_Race ).
12I’m pretty sure that was a bar spat or possibly a bar quibble.

Hey Sandridge, maybe we partied together in Mackinac! My college girlfriends & I used to drive up to Mackinac to meet the boats coming in from Port Huron. Lots of cute young sailors!
14Anyone who a) hangs around bars and b) mistakes a shove for a bar right is not going to survive being a candidate’s aide in an election year. He needs to go home and grow up some.
15Jill Ann,
16Heh, your boat didn’t have to win to have a danged good time sailing up and then in port.
Could be if you were there in the early 1960’s, I was in HS then; that was a looong time ago (but I’m still sailing).
Handbags!
17I’m still waiting for a Three Stooges-style pie fight to break out at one of the GOP debates…assuming, of course, that Chris Christie doesn’t try to sneak off with the pies.
18Should have thanked him for shooing that mosquito off his neck.
19The fight between cowboys and dancers in a Busby-Berkley style musical from Blazing Saddles is a personal favorite.

Ohnoyoudint! OhyesIdid! Do that again! Shove it! etc. etc.
These weren’t boys being boys. I’ve seen that. I know better.
21Only a bar fight if you are drunk when it happened. Et tu, Marco?
22No doubt, this will earn him lots of street cred with all his little friends back home.
23You have to admire Conservative politics. ‘Might makes Right’ is always the most diplomatic and effective way for a civil people.
24Besides Jesus says so and it’s in the Bible somewhere.
Shouldn’t a Bar Fight result in at least bruises, if not actual blood? Hell, this ain’t even a Bar Tiff. You want some rougher action, try the checkout line at WalMart.
Drama Princesses.
25Mark Twain’s instructions for a bar fight: Place your nose firmly between your opponent’s teeth and throw him heavily to the ground on top of you.
26They need to nail these guys for not getting a bar fight permit from the Mackinac Island police.
http://www.cityofmi.org/police-department-12/
The only time bar fights are allowed is at the conclusion of the annual Chicago-Mackinac and Port Huron-Mackinac sailing races. The most common crime committed on Mackinac Island is Theft of Fudge.

The worst offenders are sentenced to shovel horseshit out of the streets for a week. Except for emergency equipment, no motorized vehicles are permitted, so horse-drawn carriages and bicycles prevail. Correcting a vicious rumor, the island’s horse poop is not exported to the office of the governor of Texas.
27I called the bar. Said they’d never heard of Lone Star, and they damn sure don’t have it in longnecks.
There’s your trouble. There’s your problem.
