Cutting off nose/spite face?

We've all heard the expression, "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face." It is defined as a warning against acting out of pique, or against pursuing revenge in a way that would damage oneself more than the source of one's anger.

Following is the perfect example.

ELKO, Nev. — An off-duty Elko County sheriff's deputy was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol after her husband, a fellow deputy, pulled her over.

Charlotte Moore, 36, Spring Creek, was arrested in Elko at 11:41 p.m. Saturday. She was released at 1:47 a.m. on Sunday and placed on paid administrative leave, Elko County Undersheriff Rocky Gonzalez said.

Moore, a jail deputy who has been on staff for 11 years, was off duty driving her 2004 Pontiac Grand Am when she was initially pulled over by her husband, Elko County Sheriffs Deputy Mike Moore, a police report said.

So, Mike gets the couch for the next six months. Along with that he goes to work every day while his 36 year old wife has her days free and considering the lack of companionship due to Mike on the couch ........
 
Thats typical liberal/Democrat thinking.....
Doing you duty, even though it adversely affects you personally, is not the right thing to do....
If we all thought like pinhead liberals, we wouldn't need those shiny medals we give to heroic troops on the battlefield...or reward police or firemen for saving babies from a burning building.....:palm:
 
I honestly think apple posted this as a humorous story...and it is, by the way. Thanks.

To add to Bravo's point though, most liberals are probably perfectly content to receive Nobel Prizes and such in lieu of congressional medals of honor or other shiny battlefield medals. At least it seems to me that NP's are reserved for the Al Gore types and not the General Patton types. :)

given the fact she was out getting drunk without him, it's extremely possible he was already consigned to the couch......

Or he was simply getting her "back" for her cheating. Was she leaving a bar? Was she leaving her paramour's house?

We don't know what is happening, but one thing I do know, that was one drunk driver that wasn't going to accidentally kill somebody.

Sure there is....don't you think our Speaker of the House for the past couple of years has been a joke? ;) And what more can I say about Joe "keep the mic away from me" Biden and George "are my testicles black" Bush. I laugh at these people all the time.

Oh that's just plain silly LR. Why do you think so many Republicans get labeled as chicken hawks? Cause they beat the war drums but have more important things to do then serve our nation or, god forbid, risk their lives.

I mean what a load of shit. One thing I know, were there's danger, you usually won't find a lot of Republicans ( or democrats for that matter). You can usually find them at a safe distance away scathingly criticizing the work of those who do go into harms way.

I mean fucking politicians and their partisans get on my nerves. They talk the talk but have ya'll ever known a political partisan that walked the talk? Now that's a rare breed.
