Illinois GOP Lawmaker Told Police To Ignore Her Husband’s 911 Calls

by Kirsten Boyd Johnson

One of the perks of elected local office should be that you can tell law enforcement to, eh look the other way from time to time when you need to straighten out your spouse, because, come on, right? Illinois GOP State Senator Suzi Schmidt locked her husband out of the house without a coat on Christmas and then reportedly phoned her neighborhood 911 dispatchers with a little courtesy call to tell them she was “the Lake County Board chairman for 10 years,” just so they know, and then advised them to ignore her husband if he called afterward to complain of her abuse, which if he was smart he wouldn’t do, since “he’s kind of afraid of me because he knows I have connections.” No big deal.

From the Illinois Daily Herald:

“On the 911 call, I identified myself — but I never intended to inappropriately use my title. However, I apologize if any of my comments during this very emotional time seem inappropriate,” she said.

Suzi Schmidt, elected to a 2-year state senate term in 2010, called a 911 dispatcher at 9:55 a.m. Dec. 25 because she believed her husband soon would be doing the same.

“Hi Allison, this is Suzi Schmidt. I was the Lake County Board chairman for 10 years,” she said on the 911 recording obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request. “Listen, I’m having a little problem with my husband right now.”

“Like a domestic-type problem?” the dispatcher inquired.

Suzi Schmidt said all was fine at the home, then provided some detail on what she wanted from the 911 dispatcher.

“If he calls, Bob Schmidt, you can ignore him. Of course, I just caught him with another woman, so that’s why I’m a little upset,” she said.

Oh, Illinois politicians. Do not try the Rod Blagojevich tape-recording denial tricks at home. [Daily Herald]

911 is an inside job, well the dispatching part at least.

NorthStarSpanx September 30, 2011 at 9:57 am

Remember when John McCain's brother called 911 because of traffic in D.C.?

GOP royalty have a lot of Get-Out-of-Jail cards.

NorthStarSpanx September 29, 2011 at 10:34 am

At least it was another woman. This is a Family Values household after all.

Texan_Bulldog September 29, 2011 at 10:36 am

"I just caught him with another woman…" I think *another* is the operative word here. Maybe Bob just figured out Suzi has been tucking all this time.

TanzbodenKoenig September 29, 2011 at 10:44 am

Technically she's actually the GOPer so shes still bangin a dude and we havent rocked the boat too much.

Not_So_Much September 29, 2011 at 11:16 am

Another "woman"? I think doubts about Suzi and her linebacker neck could be raised…

WhatTheHeck September 29, 2011 at 11:51 am

The republicans say marriage should be between one man and one woman.
Never mind. Just scratch that.

johnnyzhivago September 29, 2011 at 12:22 pm

Of course she said it was a woman!!! She wasn't going to tell the dispatcher about the duck!!!

ifthethunderdontgetya September 29, 2011 at 10:34 am

And then she proceeded with the Lorena Bobbit Solution!

And now they call him "Bobbed" Schmidt.

A man married this woman? What's his impediment? I'm guessing knees that bend the other way and a double hare lip.

"No, don't tell me. You had smallcocks as a child."

GuyClinch September 29, 2011 at 12:18 pm

Not entirely sure you can call her a "woman." If nothing else, at least now we know what Larry Flynt would look like in drag.

It must be her larger than life persona.

She does look a great deal like the wood-chipper sociopath from 'Fargo'. Not as dainty as he was, but still…

AlterNewt September 29, 2011 at 10:36 am

Go ahead. Try that one yourself.

NorthStarSpanx September 29, 2011 at 10:39 am

Kind of harder to do without a 'title.'

"he was following the bus route of one high school, middle school and elementary school and the bus driver didn’t know who this white male driving the car was [so he] called dispatch. They reported it. A police officer came and stopped him and the bus. He [Griffin] wanted to know what was wrong. The police officers talked to the bus driver. The bus driver says, “I don’t like the fact that somebody in the same car is following me on all three routes. I don’t know who he is and we’re very concerned about this. This is one of the major signals of a pedophile or someone who is going to snatch a kid.” So, the police officer talked to him and explained basically the same thing and that [he] should have notified somebody at some point that [he] were going to do this. He [Griffin] said, “Don’t you recognize me? I just ran for the School Board.” The police officer didn’t recognize him and said, “Be that as it may, it’s not a good idea for you to be following school buses because when we hear about it, that’s the first thing we suspect” — that someone is going to snatch a kid or is a pedophile."

Someone caught not-mommy kissing santa claus.

stay creepy, Lake County!

Tundra Grifter September 29, 2011 at 12:01 pm

I've often wondered about that song. Was Mommy making out with the little girl's dad – or really kissing Santa Claus?

Suzi looks like she could have ripped Bob's arm off & beat the mistress with it.

She could certainly move her own piano.

Attention Lake County Blue Light Special Wonkmart shoppers. We have retro rotary dial phones that weigh 6 pounds each and are much more effective when throwing at your spouse than some couple of ounce namby pamby portables.

comrad_darkness September 29, 2011 at 11:34 am

I was thinking that. Boy, that's gotta hurt — the crazed thrower, I mean. DAmnit, that phone won't leave a mark!

prommie September 29, 2011 at 10:39 am

Using the first name like that, "alison," was a deliberate threat. That husband needs to find himself a shelter for abused spouses, he shouldn't have to live in fear. She said he fears her "connections," but something tells me its not the connections, its the teeth.

PalinzADummy September 29, 2011 at 12:13 pm

Yup. Classic domestic abuser. If the guy has any sense at all, he will get away from this vicious crazy abuser AFAP.

GunToting[Redacted] September 29, 2011 at 1:17 pm

PalinzADummy September 29, 2011 at 1:27 pm

Dood, no. That is SO wrong.

Chichikovovich September 29, 2011 at 1:02 pm

She wanted to make sure that Allison was well aware that Suzi's aim is true.

justkillmenow September 29, 2011 at 10:39 am

Oh, Illinois…you make me so proud.

GregComlish September 29, 2011 at 10:39 am

Yikes! I called 911 the second I saw her photograph.

Goonemeritus September 29, 2011 at 10:39 am

. This will double 911 traffic if every victim and every perpetrator call about the same crime. If we are to be consistent about our desire for smaller government maybe we can take the simple step of deciding who will make the call after each incident.

starfanglednut September 29, 2011 at 11:13 am

Better, yet. abolish 911 completely. Who need the socialist police force when we have second amendment solutions?

OneYieldRegular September 29, 2011 at 12:50 pm

Maybe restrict it to calls about incorrectly fulfilled fast-food drive-thru orders?

Sue4466 September 29, 2011 at 10:40 am

So, the problem here is that she abused her office, not that she abused her spouse?

Guppy06 September 29, 2011 at 12:56 pm

It's not really her fault, she can't help that she can't control her emotions. It's all this talk of "feminism" and "sexual liberation" that's eroding our society that's the problem. This would never have happened if she hadn't left the kitchen to work outside the home.

NorthStarSpanx September 30, 2011 at 10:05 am

Ed Rollins attempted to explain the vaccine affair away in part by saying Bachmann was an “emotional person who basically has great feeling for people.” On CNN Wednesday evening, Ron Carey, Bachmann’s former chief of staff, called her “impulsive.”

Also too here, perhaps since Suzi wasn't wearing an American Flag pin, she wasn't woman enough for her man.

NorbertsRevenge September 29, 2011 at 10:40 am

Cunning. A pre-emptive strike. Calling them over there on the phone so we don't have to uh, answer the door over here, or something.

Suzi: What screaming?
Dispatcher: I hear a man screaming in pain.
Suzi: Ooooh that screaming. That’s my husband. His penis got accidentally caught in a car door, a microwave oven and a meat grinder. He’s very clumsy. You should him with a hammer, all thumbs. Husbands! What are you going to do with them? Am I right?

I'm pretty sure the Lizard people have the makeup skills to craft a better illusion of humanness than that. Look what they did with Cheney.

So a woman should get a free pass on beating the hell out of her husband if she just found out he's cheating, especially if she's got connections? Of course! What part of this am I not understanding?!

An_Outhouse September 29, 2011 at 10:58 am

"Of course, I just caught him with another woman" Of course! Could there be any other possible explanation for beating him up and throwing him out of the house on Christmas Day? Everybody cheats on Christmas Day. Its practically a tradition.

BerkeleyBear September 29, 2011 at 10:44 am

Just another day in Illinois. Wake me up when we find out she got the 911 dispatcher's supervisor's kid a free ride to UIUC on one of her exemptions (that's right, all Illinois state officials get to foist tuition waivers on the state system) and/or steered a major renovation contract to a business owned by said supervisor's spouse (as a fake minority/female partner thus qualifying for significant contracting advantages). Until then, nothing worth mentioning.

And if you think anywhere else is less fucked up, you just aren't digging hard enough.

Indiepalin September 29, 2011 at 11:01 am

I smell double standard. If this crazy bitch was a member of the democrat party, Wonkette wouldn't go anywhere near this story. But because she's a God-fearing, republican opposed to abortion, the story is played up as if it was significant. Why aren't there more stories on Obama's birth certificate?

BaldarTFlagass September 29, 2011 at 11:08 am

You're a parody troll, right? Like Skoal Rebel?

grex1949 September 29, 2011 at 11:15 am

Where's HER birth certificate???? I noticed she didn't say she was born here when she called 911. That's a mite suspicious, wouldn't you say?

superdave September 29, 2011 at 12:06 pm

Indeed. I'm guessing the birth certificate says she was born a he.

Tundra Grifter September 29, 2011 at 12:07 pm

Or that she has a three day birthday.

comrad_darkness September 29, 2011 at 11:37 am

Why aren't there more stories on Obama's contact with aliens? I mean really. Why not? If you are going to make shit up, it might as well have a real narrative.

GregComlish September 29, 2011 at 11:38 am

Actually the real double standard is by the legions of "God-fearing, republicans opposed to abortion" that are actually sociopaths using the boundless gullibility of the GOP to thinly mask their moral depravity. And the ranks of these creeps are so great that they predictably generate scandals in such an regular interval that Wonkette is never, ever short of solid gold comic material, like the pirate face featured above.

Indiepalin September 29, 2011 at 11:40 am

Shiver me timbers, you're correct!

Chichikovovich September 29, 2011 at 12:06 pm

Not a bad parody, but needs some work:
a) no misspellings, and impeccable grammar.
b) George Bush always said "Democrat party" and as we are now assured by real conservatives, Bush was not a real conservative. So you should say "Demon-rat party"
c) no reference to websites like Wonkette are allowed without adjectives like "ultra-liberal", "libtard", or (if you have a traditionalist bent) "America-hating"
d) Republican women are never "crazy bitches" – they are only presented as such by the "lamestream media". So the second sentence should read more like this: "Of coarse the lamestream media makes up stories about real American women of feith, but only a crazy bitch Demon-rat would do this. But then the libtards at ultra-liberal Wonkette wouldnt go anywere neer this storie."

But I mean this to be constructive criticism – excellent first effort!

Wonder how many beatings he has taken from her without calling 911? She has the history that would have me running, known too many psycho bitches.

I'm sure it's more than a few. He's a big tall guy and she's a small woman, and he's from a generation when men did not raise their hand to a woman and it would have been laughable for him to ever complain. Poor man's been married to her for 32 years.

BlueStateLibel September 29, 2011 at 11:02 am

We need to make a teevee sitcom out of this lady, kind of like that Hyacinth Bucket show. She could go around bragging about how she deserves special service and compenstation because she's the ****Lake County Board chairman****.

"“If he calls, Bob Schmidt, you can ignore him. Of course, I just caught him with another woman, so that’s why I’m a little upset,” she said."

She caught her husband with another woman at around 9:30am on Christmas morning? I thought most people would either be still sleeping or trying to clean up wrapping paper and make breakfast.

James Michael Curley September 29, 2011 at 11:52 am

This Christmas I'm asking Santa for another woman. Wrapping not necessary.

Chet Kincaid September 29, 2011 at 11:16 am

We have the entire season arc of next season's "Mike & Molly", with these two!

On the 911 recording of the Aug. 16 call at 6:07 p.m., Robert Schmidt told a dispatcher his wife rammed her 2000 Cadillac into his car at least three times soon after he departed their home….

Robert Schmidt told a deputy his wife went after him because he had preferred to shop for a new vehicle alone. “I examined Suzanne's vehicle and found front-end damage consistent with damage to Robert's vehicle and story,” wrote Deputy Eric Francke. “I asked Suzanne what happened to the front of her vehicle. Suzanne said she was at Lindenfest over the past weekend and hit a curb and was involved in a minor accident with a teenage girl.

“I asked if the incident was reported and she said ‘no' because she did not want to jam up the teenage girl…” Suzi Schmidt also said her husband's “unhappy girlfriend” possibly rammed his car.

At 6:25 p.m. Monday, [9-26-11] Robert Schmidt called a dispatcher to report his wife bit him and caused bleeding, according to the 911 recording. A report states a deputy observed blood on Robert Schmidt's shirt front and pants, purportedly after being bitten and hit with a wireless telephone.

Suzi Schmidt is heard in the background on the 911 tape denying her husband's accusations and claiming he had pinned her to the floor in their house. In the report, she stated her husband pulled out an earring and hit her face, which caused her to bite him on an arm so he would get off her.

“Suzanne stated due to the fact she is a state senator, she believes Robert is attempting to derail her career and has threatened to call the police on her several times,” the report from Sgt. Timothy Jonites states.

Mojopo September 29, 2011 at 11:29 am

I was wondering why no one mentioned the biting yet. I heard the clip yesterday on the nightly news.

PalinzADummy September 29, 2011 at 12:31 pm

She bit him hard enough to get blood on his clothing. That means breaking the skin in sufficient places to cause leakage. Mean, violent, nasty person.

Why do all republican women have those crazy stepford wife, teleprompter eyes?

__kth__ September 29, 2011 at 11:20 am

Really it isn't about Republicans per se. It's more that pols at the state level make US reps, even maniacal mental defectives like Louie Gohmert, look like Daniel Webster.

Some teatards want to repeal the 17th amendment, and let the senators be chosen by the deranged trailer trash, such as this woman, that one typically finds in state legislatures.

mereoblivion September 29, 2011 at 11:23 am

We'd be disoriented too, if we'd been up all night delivering toys to all the good children of the world. I mean, Schmidt on a shingle!

Terry September 29, 2011 at 11:24 am

Oh, the article is awesome. She also apparently rammed his car with hers repeated in one reported incident. Another time, she bit him and drew blood.

proudgrampa September 29, 2011 at 11:33 am

Jesus. Did they say WHERE she bit him???

PalinzADummy September 29, 2011 at 12:32 pm

It's OK, grampa, it was only his arm. But, yeah, I'd worry about letting those teeth anywhere near my junk.

I have no idea. What did this woman think would happen to the recording of her call? Being Grand Poobah of a glorified bake-sale in IL will only get a person so far.

Upon further review, the most astonishing thing about this sorry episode is her statement: "I was the Lake County Board chairman for 10 years."

I was wondering who would play Chairwoman Schmidt in the movie of her life. I was thinking Kathy Bates, but, no – I don't think the makeup people could uglify her enough. So I guess it will have to be John Lithgow. Especially if they can reassemble the makeup team from Buckaroo Banzai.

And of course, the GOP is circling the wagons on this. Though it is nice that they are applying the same "standards" they do when their male politicians abuse their spouses, even if it is only because they care more about power than their own sexism (and any morals).

During a call last Christmas, the lawmaker implored a dispatcher not to respond to her husband, Robert, if he called, reminded a dispatcher she once had been Lake County board chairman and said her husband feared her because “he knows I have connections.”

On a call Monday by her husband, Schmidt can be heard in the background admitting she had bitten him during a fight. She initially denied it, but can then be heard saying: “You bet I did.”

Oh, this woman is trouble with a capital T. She's definitely the kind of woman where this will eventually escalate into her shooting him in bed, literally stabbing him in the back (or front) with a kitchen knife, or having a hit put out on him.

comrad_darkness September 30, 2011 at 12:17 pm

[minority leader] Radogno said. “As public officials, we are held to a higher standard. We cannot and will not tolerate abuse of the public trust."

Being an out of control douchebag, however, is completely acceptable.

PalinzADummy September 29, 2011 at 1:18 pm

A friend of mine had a secretary who never did learn Yiddish, but tried very hard. The high point of her career was when she rushed into the office one day, shouting, "Oh, look! Jack's back from Israel and he's wearing a Yamaha on his head."

That and she always referred to the mikvah as a mitzvah.
