FATHER OF THE YEAR

Colorado Candidate Jailed For Choking His Daughter

Vince Chowdhury would like you to open that goddamned garage door NOW.Jefferson County school board member and Colorado legislative candidate Vince Chowdhury just sort of “lost it” when his goddamned wife and daughter didn’t open the garage door quickly enough when he was sitting in the driveway HONKING THE HORN, so he went to jail, because he allegedly grabbed his sixteen-year-old daughter’s throat, with both hands, and choked her, until she bit him, and then she hid in the bathroom until the Sheriff’s Department arrived.

But what’s really funny are the comments on the Denver Post article:

  • I bet that garage door will go up a lot quicker the next time though.
  • This guy should be a cop.
  • What an *******. Get out and open the door yourself. Big man, slapping around a teenage girl.
  • The guy regularly pulls up to his house, honks the horn, and expects his family to run and open the door? Dude, garage door openers are cheap. His neighbors should have choked him long ago.

    Stay classy, Vince.

  2. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 4:58 pm, July 7th, 2008

    The question on everyone’s mind: R or D? Well, he sells insurance for a living, so does it matter?

  3. Trollop says at 4:59 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Figures he’s a Democrat. If this’d been a Republican, his response would’ve been to offer his daughter’s boyfriend $20 for a blowjob

  4. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 5:03 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Does this mean Denver is off as a convention locale?

  5. AngryBlakGuy says at 5:03 pm, July 7th, 2008

    …if she didn’t lose consciousness no foul right?

  6. eyegoneblack says at 5:04 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Advocatus_Diaboli: R or D?

    D. If he was R, he’d have been slapping his boyfriend.

  7. ManchuCandidate says at 5:06 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Yay! A Demrat kid beater!

    I don’t know what it is about folks who honk the fucking horn instead of say getting out of the car and pounding on the door. Puts the exclamation mark on the sentence, “HI I’M A RAGING ASSHOLE!”

    It’s oh so much better when done at 3am in the morning so the whole neighborhood can hear it.

  8. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 5:06 pm, July 7th, 2008

    According to the calendar of upcoming events on his website, Vince will be “walking door to door in your neighborhood” looking for an “I Support Vince Party.” Or a garage door opener, presumably.

  9. SayItWithWookies says at 5:07 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Nevada, we have your next governor!

  10. loudmouthredhead says at 5:08 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Trollop: No, he would have been arrested for “losing it” since he had to resort to having his daughter choke him in his driveway instead of her boyfriend. All that honking (read: toe-tapping) for nothing! Can ya blame a guy?

  11. bmannes says at 5:10 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Not so funny when it’s not Homer and Bart, now is it?

  12. teebob2000 says at 5:10 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Kinda like my voice-controlled teevee remote; if my step-daughter ain’t fast enough when I tell her to change channels, I mess that bitch up but good!!

  13. problemwithcaring says at 5:12 pm, July 7th, 2008

    While I consider near-death choking for not moving fast enough overkill, I still support the sodomizing she got when she brought home a B in Spanish. I mean, the kid has to learn.

  14. Tawmn says at 5:17 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Say what you like… Orange is his color!

  15. anabellum says at 5:18 pm, July 7th, 2008

    i bow to the readers of the Denver Post….such clarity of thought is unexpected…

  16. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:21 pm, July 7th, 2008

    I thought women liked being choked?

    Oops….

  17. Burford says at 5:24 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Christopher Hitchens has volunteer to go to Denver and NOT open this guy’s garage door.

  18. wheelie says at 5:36 pm, July 7th, 2008
  19. anabellum says at 5:43 pm, July 7th, 2008

    anger management=a direct connection from the car battery to the testicles, operated via the horn…

  20. columnv says at 5:50 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Damned wife and kids always being slow and not giving enough hand-jobs…

  21. anabellum says at 5:54 pm, July 7th, 2008

    while im at it…way to go girl…

    remember, patricide is painless…

  22. uncletravelingmatt says at 6:05 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Has Don Sherwood been writing how-to books?

  23. liquiddaddy says at 6:31 pm, July 7th, 2008

    That’ll teach her to sass back; however, I find with sixteen year-old girls, a good spanking usually does the trick.

  24. graceless says at 7:11 pm, July 7th, 2008

    liquiddaddy: Whoever heard of a bad spanking?

  25. FreshCliches says at 7:22 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Is it just me, or does this guy look like Hollywood’s favorite Hispanic bad-ass (and thus, universal drug overlord) character actor, Miguel Sandoval?

  26. gjdodger says at 7:51 pm, July 7th, 2008

    The Dems have hired him for the convention. If Hillary’s speech goes one second over…

  27. shortsshortsshorts says at 8:03 pm, July 7th, 2008

    gjdodger: Her run for the nom? Ya that ran about 6 months over. Does that mean one choking for each delinquent day?

  28. CollegeStudent says at 8:06 pm, July 7th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: I dunno this guy seems a little too classy. I mean, he was actually related to woman he assaulted, how lame.
    And we don’t even know if he is a fan of the rodeo-

  29. Is Vince gonna have to choke a bitch?

  30. bitchincamaro says at 8:49 pm, July 7th, 2008

    What’s the problem? Car care has always trumped child care in this country.

  31. I Am Not Your Gary Busey says at 9:08 pm, July 7th, 2008

    Q: What do you tell your sixteen year old daughter with the two black eyes?

    A: Nothing, you done told the bitch twice.

  32. cracksmoke says at 10:28 pm, July 7th, 2008
  33. Neilist says at 11:05 pm, July 7th, 2008

    cracksmoke: Having seen the photograph of the daughter in high school, allow me to be the first to get in the obligatory . . . .

    . . . I’d hit it.

    “Hit” as in . . . you know. Not “hit” as in “choke” . . . well, unless you mean “choke” as in . . . .

  34. Paradise says at 12:01 am, July 8th, 2008

    bmannes: no, it’s pretty funny. it’s actually the whole third person looking in thing that makes it funny. but now it’s no longer funny because you made me explain it. trollop.

  35. American Dreamer says at 12:25 am, July 8th, 2008

    He should have just told the arresting officer that he was high on meth. That is grounds for immediate release under colorado law.

  36. Quacker says at 12:59 am, July 8th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies:

    Comment of the day!

  37. gurukalehuru says at 2:32 am, July 8th, 2008

    The guy needs to have his horn surgically removed.

    @fresh cliches No, not just you. Good catch.

  38. trai_dep says at 3:25 am, July 8th, 2008

    He probably drives a Hummer and you realize how much gas those things suck down when idling?!

  39. Mr-Clark says at 10:12 am, July 8th, 2008

    Ken Layne,

    Midge does that nightly to Cindy, well…as close as he can. Due to his war wounds and height, he is unable to strangle her above the knee. She just sort of peels him off with her heal of the pump on the other foot and withholds sex. OK, she probably won’t fuck him anyway. There’s certainly nothing in it for her.

    Sincerely and respectfully,

    Mr-Clark

  40. Prufrock says at 10:57 am, July 8th, 2008

    Here’s a picture of Vince and his daughter during one of the rare non-choking moments they share together.

  41. Prufrock says at 11:09 am, July 8th, 2008

    Prufrock: Oops.

    Sorry it took me so long to post the link. Maybe I’ll get some chockin’ next!

    Always thought that was a euphemism. Go figure.
