Nixon/AgnewButton Stolen Along with the Bird it was Attached to

CRIME WATCH- A stuffed parrot novelty toy sporting a 1972 Nixon/Agnew campaign button was stolen last night from Fort Pearl Tavern. The remains of the bird were found in the road today minus the button.
The piece of memorabilia is one of many items that bring character to the decor of the bar,which I have operated for 25 years.
The parrot was battery operated and would talk back.
Anyone with information can call me at 486-0879.
What kind of person would do this ? Either a moronic vandal or a really ardent Republican.

Likely it was someone who longs for the days of Im not a crook, and whatever Spiro resigned for. But look hard enough, those very same attributes can be found amoung our latter day officer holders.. Hope you get the button back. sorry about the bird. Must be that firewater.

Has anybody checked with G Gordon Liddy?

Liddy would have downed a beer, punched someone in the mouth and stolen the damm bird.

Has Mr. BBush been in the bar? He seemed to be acting suspiscious at Pete's, trying to get your input about running. Would be a good campaign slogan,as a previous post said "I am not a crook".

I'm still wondering what the deceased parrot used to say! My condolences, Mayor.

Someone may want to check Doheny's SUV or his Island getaway...heard GWise has been looking for a new campaign logo. Must have seen something he liked...

You're assuming he was stolen..possibly he escaped?

It was the BlankenBurglar and Don Alexander - the two are known to steal from the public what is not rightfully theirs. Usually it is only tax dollars from the middle class for the benefit of the wealthy - in a sort of a reverse Robbin Hood manner, but with even less accountability. Thank god those two don't wear tights. The theft of the bird and pin is totally not cool.

The BlankenBurglar used to be the HamBurglar until he out ballooned the costume. Now he can barely fit into his own skin. Don Alexander had always been Don Alexander.
