Sucking The Government Teat

No law saying you can't be a royal dickhead. TPM (03.26.10) (link in original), via The Washington Monthly:

"The Washington Post today has a profile of Mike Vanderboegh, the 57-year-old former militiaman from Alabama who last week posted a call for people to throw bricks through the windows at Democratic offices around the country to protest their votes for Health Care Reform."

Classic

So what, you might ask?

Vanderboegh, "(a) radical libertarian, champion of getting big government off the people's backs...lives on government disability checks down outside of Birmingham, Alabama."

As the Post article details, this Son of Liberty "receives $1,300 a month because of his congestive heart failure, diabetes and hypertension. He has private health insurance through his wife, who works for a company that sells forklift products."

Asswipe better hope she never gets laid off. At least until they qualify for Medicare anyway.
