GrossFormer Mississippi Congressman Chip Pickering, an ex-C-Streeter who cheated on his wife relentlessly in that house until declining to run again in last year’s elections — to spend more time with his divorce papers — is getting violent at sports games. Again. But this wasn’t simply some Mexican or another in the Congressional Baseball Game crowd. This was the coach of the team playing Pickering’s son’s team, in soccer. Why does Chip Pickering force his child to play the gayer of the two Fall athletic options?

JACKSON, Miss. — Police are investigating a fight between a former Mississippi congressman and a youth-league soccer coach after a weekend game.

Madison Police Sgt. Robert Sanders says Chip Pickering, a Republican who served 12 years in the U.S. House, was accused of attacking coach Chris Hester on Sunday. Sanders says Pickering also filed an affidavit accusing Hester of hitting him.

Hester, who claims he was wearing a neck brace at the time, says Pickering yelled at him as he was leaving. Hester says that Pickering pulled him from his vehicle, and that spectators had to separate the two.

Hester coaches the team that played Pickering’s son’s team.

Good lord. Inject both of them with AIDS and ship them to Uganda.

Things haven’t been quite the same for Chip since he appeared on Borat.

M.Yazz December 7, 2009 at 3:21 pm

I’m sure he’s a racist.

Andy Bernard goes nuts again. I pity the youth soccer coach that hides his cell phone in the ceiling.

JMP December 7, 2009 at 3:23 pm

To be fair, Pickering was just trying to make this American kids’ soccer game more like the European and South American pro games, by adding the random violence in the stands. And hey, it is the only possible way for something interesting to happen at a soccer game.

Monsieur Grumpe December 7, 2009 at 3:24 pm

Stupid Americans can’t tell the difference between rugby and soccer.

Every time I’ve tried to comment today, I’ve found it dificult due to the ‘Levi is giving her The Shocker lower in this shot’ picture of SP to the left. I keep imagining him in ass-less scrubs. It’s fucking horrible, and now I can’t even take a proper shot at Chip Pickering.

DAMM YOU WONKETT!!!

DickTaterPeeNoShay December 7, 2009 at 3:26 pm

He needs to stop being such an athletic supporter.

Larry McAwful December 7, 2009 at 3:26 pm

Is there anyone out there named Chip who isn’t a total asshole? I’m still looking.

In the future, I recommend you use this graphic for all stories about Chip Pickering:

Maybe that stupid ass-backward fuckwater of a town should hire Rudy Gu911ani to secure their little soccer matches.

McDuff December 7, 2009 at 3:27 pm

Don’t Ban Hammer me Jim, but the AP story says the dude Chip pushed around was the other team’s coach, not the coach of his son’s team.

Everyone needs an editor, even editors.

KilgoreTrout_XL December 7, 2009 at 3:28 pm

Assuming that the son in question is male, Field Hockey would arguably be gayer, except for how they whack the shit out of each other with those sticks, and the lower back pain, but hot damn on the way to soccer practice in high school you’d just stop at their practice field and stare and leer and drool and the plaid skirts and who the fuck is this chip asshole?

germansteel December 7, 2009 at 3:30 pm

He’s got a permanent “chip” on his shoulder, on account of his name. Who wouldn’t?

Suds McKenzie December 7, 2009 at 3:31 pm

Baseball and Soccer down, two more sports and Chip can “hit” for the cycle.

Mr Blifil December 7, 2009 at 3:31 pm

It’s understandable. He’s just mad at Obama’s policies and needs to let off steam until he gets his cunt tree back. The soccer coach with the neck brace probably took him out for a beer (“highway rest stop session”) after apologizing.

Jim Newell December 7, 2009 at 3:31 pm

[re=473212]McDuff[/re]: Oh thank you I misread that. (I don’t banhammer people for pointing basic errors out!) (Unless it’s late on a Friday and I want to die.)

mollymcguire December 7, 2009 at 3:32 pm

This incident shows progress for the Republican party. At least he did not attack one of the players.

shadowMark December 7, 2009 at 3:33 pm

I’m ashamed. We make fun of Sarah but she’s been a hockey mom since the Pleistocene Era and she’s never gotten into a fist fight with a coach. Doesn’t she watch high school girls play basketball, too? Again, no fist fights.

Humpback December 7, 2009 at 3:33 pm

I blame the spirit of Invictus!

dijetlo December 7, 2009 at 3:36 pm

This peon soccer coach has obviously never been asked to attend a meeting of “the Family” (as if some nobody in a neck brace would be worthy of something like that), other wise he’d have realized that the normal rules do no apply to “Men of Power”. If a “man of power” like Chip Puckering wants to beat your plebeian ass, just suck it up and take your ass whuppin, neck brace!
It’s been hard enough on Chip, what with his ex’s divorce attorney rudely pointed out that sticking it in anything that doesn’t keep moving constitutes “adultery”, even if the Chipper is a “Made Man”, as it were. Then most of his constituents failed to appreciate just how super special Lord Puckering is and took away his job. Then his boy, who is also a member of the secret master race, looses at soccer because this nobody put in a bunch of “better players” (like that should have anything to do with it!).
What I can’t get over is the soccer coach defending himself and actually laying his hands on a member of the Family, a “man of power”. Some people just don’t know their place!

Dashboard_Buddha December 7, 2009 at 3:38 pm

He looks like a bully.

[re=473210]Larry McAwful[/re]: Chip Taylor, the guy who wrote “Wild Thing”. However, his half-brother, Jon Voight is a certified sphincter.

Larry McAwful December 7, 2009 at 3:41 pm

[re=473231]bitchincamaro[/re]: Okay, there’s one. And you’re right about Jon Voigt. Are you sure “Jon” isn’t just a nickname for “Chip,” though?

“Assuming that the son in question is male”

That tends to be a fairly safe assumption.

SayItWithWookies December 7, 2009 at 3:45 pm

Normally the police would ignore such a matter, but this is Mississippi, where fistfights among sober people are strictly illegal. Also, that picture of Pickering makes him look like he’s his own cousin.

I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO December 7, 2009 at 3:55 pm

Okay, seriously, why the hell is it all these Republicans look like they stare at kiddie porn on their work computers. Come on! Look at that guy and tell me he doesn’t. You can’t can you?

As for punching a coach, that’s not the important bit. The important bit is him trying to point the finger at the coach to justify it. Once a pseudo-victimized bullying asshole Republican, always a pseudo-victimized bullying asshole Republican. For once I want to see one of these guys say, “Look, no one’s done a thing to me. I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, and no one’s bothered to take it out since. So when I act like I’m an asshole, it’s because I am an asshole.”

Just once, something like that.

Wasn’t daddy denied a Bush I appointment to fed judiciary on grounds of rampant racism and shitbaggery?

norbizness December 7, 2009 at 4:03 pm

Chip Pickering sounds like one of those fake newscasters Mr. Show used to come up with, like Brick Sprickly or Jazz Witherspoon.

Lazy Media December 7, 2009 at 4:05 pm

Let me guess: He’s a Kappa Alpha (google). Nope, Sigma Chi at Ole Miss, which is basically the same thing (legacy, of course).

[re=473223]shadowMark[/re]: No fist fights for Not-the-governor Palin? Give her some alcohol and put her in a room with Rosie O’Donnell.

[re=473228]dijetlo[/re]: Good point! No one who needs a neck brace would be eligible for the master race. I doubt if this crowd would even qualify a certain vegetarian housepainter.

[re=473250]I_KILL_ZOMBIES_ALSO[/re]: Be fair. He only looks at kiddie porn when he’s not preparing his speech for the next Zig Ziglar “Get Motivated” business seminar.

Accordion-o-rama December 7, 2009 at 4:28 pm

Hey, yelling, hitting and pulling is not my idea of foreplay, but if that’s what turns their cranks, I say let ‘em be.

assistant/atlas December 7, 2009 at 4:33 pm

I was going to say that Chip Pickering, through his resignation, is responsible for the greatest pornstache in Congress, but it turns out that Travis Childers represents a different district. Pickering’s replacement, Gregg Harper, does not have a mustache of any kind.

Stupid Chip Pickering can’t do anything right.

thefrontpage December 7, 2009 at 4:54 pm

Apparently, neighbors on Capitol Hill used to have to call the police repeatedly because those fun guys at the C Street house would play soccer in the backyard and then get in fights and then wrestle each other and then jump into one of those small baby pools filled with jello. This happened every weekend.

DeeSee December 7, 2009 at 5:00 pm

Give them Aids and send them to Uganda? I don’t think that’s funny, sorry.

No, on second thought, I rather enjoyed my lunch and wish not to lose it.

Hey, at least he didn’t start sucking the guys dick, like we would have expected in a story like this.

“Chip Pickering Accused of Attaching Soccer Coach”

Did no one see this? Attaching? Sounds painful. Oh, and oh so sexual. Also. Tambien.

Unlearned Hand December 8, 2009 at 10:56 am

I predict Chip Pickering will be Governor of Mississippi by 2012. Because Mississippi unfailingly elects total raving assholes.
