Wonkette
Look at this guy, in the photo! WHAT DOES HE DO FOR A LIVING. Does he bowl for a living? Was he an extra in the 1963 part of Goodfellas? Maybe. His name is Brett Mecum and he sells hot cum on the Internet. No, just kidding. Just kidding about his last name. He’s really the executive director of the Arizona Republican Party, and he was arrested in his office yesterday for driving his car super fast.
There is *nothing* worse than the highway speeding camera. (Or, as we have in DC, that speeding camera on Florida Ave. near New York Ave., a poor area, that mails tickets to anyone driving faster than 25 mph. Fuck that fucking regressive tax of a fucking camera. Anyway.) But we do not mind that Brett Mecum was caught on the speeding camera, because he was going 100 million miles per hour in an asshole car:
The executive director of the Arizona Republican Party was charged with reckless driving and criminal speeding Wednesday after a photo radar camera caught him driving 109 mph on Loop 101.
Brett Mecum was arrested by Department of Public Safety officers around 10:30 a.m. at party headquarters in Phoenix in connection with an April 10 incident.
DPS Spokesman Bart Graves said Mecum was driving a blue 2008 Ford Mustang eastbound on the 101 near 59th Avenue. The camera caught him going 44 mph over the posted speed limit of 65.
Again, ha ha, ha ha ha, he got arrested at his office for driving a car.
State GOP director arrested, drove 109 mph on Loop 101 [Arizona Republic]
He wears that shirt and drives a Mustang?
I’m going out on a limb here, but I’m guessing he’s a real asshole.
It’s Arizona, for God’s sake.
Wouldn’t you want to get through it quickly, too?
What, Mecum?
What? Stupid MSM. Doesn’t say why he was driving his secretary’s car?
Balding guy driving a Mustang driving way too fast? = small peen
I hope he lives in the same county as the crazy, pink-underwear sheriff.
JAAAMAAAAKIN!
East on the strike through, por favor!
What’s the hurry buddy? The priest’ll wait in the rest stop until you get there.
You KNOW why all these Republicans are doing this “normal” illegal shit–it is to distract people from the “Outrage” docu. coming out this weekend that is all about the closeted gay Republicans all over the place. They are desperately trying to prove they are all regular old lawbreakers instead of public bathroom stall stalkers who want to pay cops for blowjobs.
But he look so sad.
What’s with the strikethrough?
Somebody might want to
Min: chascates: It’s the glitch from hell.
OH MY GOD!!!
Picture him 20 years older, 40 pounds heavier, and with wire rim glasses.
This guy is obviously Karl Rove’s love child!
Min: Nevermind.
Is our Wonkette being censored in the form of inappropriate HTML tags? Maybe this’ll help:
I haven’t had time to pay much attention to the news today. This is the Republican caught fucking a car, or something?
Also,
Scarab: Cops probably stopped him for having the world’s worst comb-over/comb-forward or whatever you call that thing sprawled on his pate.
To my trained eye, that picture says one thing:
“Multiple human heads in the refrigerator.”
“With a bottle of ranch dressing.”
Okay, it says two things. Whatever.
(And who knew a 2008 Mustang could get up to 109 mph.
Without being driven off a cliff, that is.)
This story is made up. He was obviously driving a Trans Am.
HAHAHAHAHA–MECUM! I guess with a name like that he had very little choice but to be a Republican official. I sorta surprised a search of his car didn’t turn up child porn or at least some funny underwear!
“Again, ha ha, ha ha ha, he got arrested his office for driving a car.”
Did Bob Marley write that sentence?
… peeing in his office for driving a car?
Min:
Actually it’s the new ’style’ in blog posts! All cool bloggers and commenters are doing it? You didn’t get the memo?Was he jilted by Meghan?
magic titty: that’s only if he were from South Jersey.
What the fuck is on that asshole’s head? It looks like a tarantula..
Okay, so he got arrested for driving inside his office?
“Mecum” and fast cars — I thought that sounded familar. http://mecum.com/
“A liberal is a conservative who has been arrested” - Tom Wolfe, Bonfire of the Vanities.
Lascauxcaveman: I never get the memo.
This proves it; you can’t outrun ugly.
He saw the cops pulling into the parking lot and thought, “shit, how did they find all that kiddie porn on my hard drive?”
That’s probably his “O” face.
I too drive a Mustang, but it’s a convertible, and it’s my “weekend” car. My “weekday” car is a Volkswagen.
Holy shit—I’m in the midst of an identity crisis!
How cool, Wonkette’s web address is on my computer. I love how the internets are working in a very Freudian way today.
heroinmule: Yep, he was arrested in Maricopa County, home of Joe Arpaio, “America’s Toughest Sheriff.” Joe runs the Tent City jail, with pink undies, green bologna, and no AC. I wonder how long Mr. Mecum will last before he starts crying “torture” and demands to see the International Red Cross.

GOP is all about fast cars and loose assholes.
>>that speeding camera on Florida Ave. near New York Ave.<<
Isn’t that what they sell paint ball guns for?
Where is SayitWithWookies’ Tracy Chapman ‘Fast Car’ parody?
Red Zeppelin: Hey dude, has anyone ever told you your avatar looks like a psychedelic dick until you ‘view image’ it for a close look?
RoscoePColtraine: You are free-associating.
Aurelio: I’m dickbrained. True. Sorry if I offended Zeppelin, lots of things just look like/remind me of dicks.
So Bill Hicks, instead of dying, lost his memory and became a douchenozzle Republican?
They should check the roadside to see where he kicked the 10-year-old boy out of the car.
Once you reach this level of douchebaggery, there ain’t no car hot enough to impress the ladies.
Unless there is traffic, people drive 80 mph on the 101. 109 is pretty low for outside the city though.
McDuff: Don’t forget the delightful summertime chain gangs. As a Republican VIP, Mr. Mecum will probably get a private air conditioned cell like Glen Campbell did.
In honor of the Star Trek movie he was trying out the Mustang’s warp drive set to Warp Factor Oh Fuck My Hair Blew Off
A few weeks ago some old coot killed one of the radar van operators in Phoenix. I’m guessin he was a teabagger.
Campaign slogan: “I cum, you cum, we all cum for Mecum!”
DON’T MENTION STAR TREK ONLY LEONARD NIMOY IS SPOCK AND THE ENTERPRISE LOOKS LIKE ITS MADE OF CHROME!!1!11!ONE
Okay, I’m better.
Any relation to Evan “Mecum”? Did he call the officers pickaninnies?
My client is not guilty, your honor. If that cute intern had just come up for air like my client was screaming for him to do, then my client’s foot would not have been stomping the accelerator during orgasm. It is society’s fault.
>>His name is Brett Mecum and he sells hot cum on the Internet. <<
UPS wont ship hot cum, I tried but you have to pack it in dry ice.
I hope W enjoyed his birthday present just the same.
magic titty: Nah. With that hair, I’d bet it was a 1987 IROC-Z.
heroinmule: McDuff: springfield_meltdown: I immediately thought of Glen Campbell too. Arpaio’s not going to mess with a white man; he’ll take it out on some Mexicans instead, no matter how good a stint on a chain gang would be for this douchebag.
The local news said Mecum was looking at 73 days in the pokey. That’s a lot of green bologna.
I suggest he go on a tour of morning television as a spokesperson for safe driving.
Johnny Zhivago: if he can prevent one middle-aged chub from driving too fast in a stupid car, he’ll have something to be really proud of.
What a twat.
heroinmule: That would be YES!
Dave J.: So small that even his balls are laughing at it.
Chain Tattoo: Everyone out here drives like an asshole. And everyone out here, except for my family and teh Injuns, is from somewhere else.
Laugh now, but I’m going to put a $2000 on him winning the 2012 Republican nomination.
stew: WIN. Mothafukken WIN.
You know this prick just got the shit teased out of him when
he was a kid.
heroinmule: Yes, he does live “in the same county as the crazy, pink-underwear sheriff,” which almost guarantees that this case will be thrown out of court. Pink is only interested in prosecuting the Brown in Maracopa County.
No, no, no, it was a mustang as in… horse and the injuns were after him. He had 50 pounds of peyote buttons he stole from the shaman. He tried to trade his shirt but the shaman already had one like his off the rack at Walmart. Tacky.
They chromed the Enterprise??? Is the new crew all Mexicans?
Did they chop and channel it too?
If you crossed Ryan Newman Nascar driver with Jimmy Kimmel you would get this mess.
Hey, it’s possible! Science marches on!
(I wish I could post photos)
Wait, Brett Mecum is only 30 years old? And he already looks like that? I think it’s not just hard driving he’s been doing.
The 101 is a deathtrap in the best conditions…a Phoenix police officer was killed there by some speeding nut a few years ago…so even if Pink Arpaio does not act against this guy, he better watch his rear view mirror next time he gets in his car…
Personally, had I been the arresting officer, I might have let him go with a warning had he been racing to a hair salon to deal with that mess on his head though…
Looks like Sir Speedy could afford to subsist for a while on some of Sheriff Joe’s 14 cent meals. Glen didn’t care about jail food, only the AC; he may not have eaten since Tanya left him. I saw the rhinestone cowboy on the Chris Isaak talk show, and he was very proud to remember that he used to be Glen Campbell.
Aww, I drive a Mustang
Hopetarded: loquaciousmusic: A Mustang is fine, unless it’s 1974-78 or a 1994-04, in which case you totally suck balls. Officially.
You have to go fast in order to get home from the highway rest stop before your wife gets suspicious.
Lascauxcaveman: Agreed. Love the third generation 5.0s, but only with the trunk. The hatchback can lick my taint. Also.
What is missing from this report is the info about his twitter account, which has a photo of him DRIVING while TEXTING on his crackberry!!
Lascauxcaveman: I’ve got a 2006: Safe from teabagging connotations!
