You know, this is the kind of thing that could get me in big, big trouble if I had been there:

A man heckling First Lady Laura Bush and daughter Jenna outside the 92nd Street Y was arrested after he punched a wheelchair-bound girl whose parents had told him to shut up, authorities said yesterday. German Talis, 22, was shouting obscenities at the Bushes, who were leaving the building Tuesday, when he crossed paths with Wendy and John Lovetro and their daughter Maureen, 18, who has cerebral palsy.

At the risk of sounding like the knucle-dragging Neanderthal that the left likes to think we conservatives are, this guy needs to go jail all right, right after an old fashioned straight up ass kicking. Here’s more:

They had been in the audience to hear the Bushes talk about their children’s book, “Read All About It.”

“He began yelling about Iraq and Iran at Jenna Bush. She was waving at the crowd. I told the guy, ‘What are you doing? Shut up. This is about a child and books,’ ” said John Lovetro. “He was unperturbed. I said, ‘Get out of here! You’re being a moron!’ ”

The next thing he knew, Talis was allegedly punching Maureen - a fan of the first lady since meeting her in 2004.

“I heard my daughter hysterical yelling, ‘He’s hitting me!’ ” said Wendy Lovetro.

“He punched her on the shoulder blades, but that wasn’t enough,” she said.

“My husband pushed the wheelchair away from him and he reached beyond my husband and began pounding my daughter in the thigh.”

The two men fought as the president’s family drove off. Cops broke them up and busted Talis on charges of assault and resisting arrest.

Maureen was not seriously injured.

Are you kidding me? This guy actually punched a wheelchair bound, helpless girl to express his rage at Bush. My outrage meter is pegged out, along with my disgust meter.

So….call me a Neanderthal if you like but the type of justice this guy needs doesn’t necessarily involve a jail cell. I’m in my fifties and I am extending an open invitation to this hero to come and punch on me any time he likes. Worm.

What a guy, eh?

Thanks to LauraW. over at Ace for telling us about this wonderful piece of humanity.
