Dwight "Doc" Gooden arrested for cocaine possession: claims he's illegal immigrant to get off

Retired Mets pitcher and 1985 Cy Young Award winner Dwight "Doc" Gooden, 54, was arrested last month on June 7th in New Jersey for possession of cocaine and driving under the influence.

The Holmdel police pulled him over just before 1 a.m. and allegedly found him to be in possession of "two small green zip-lock style baggies containing suspected cocaine," according to a criminal complaint by Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office.

Doc was pulled over for driving too slowly on a highway, failing to maintain the lane and for having overly tinted windows, which are illegal in New Jersey.

He was charged with third-degree possession of a controlled dangerous substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was also charged for being blitzed out of his gourd.

Brain Flushings' chief reporter, Vinny Bagodonuts, tried to interview him but he responded with "What, are you f****ng nuts? You think I'm gonna talk to a damn reporter and get my a** in deeper s**t? You got a good case, Vinny."

It was suggested to Doc by his somewhat shady lawyer that it might be to his benefit if he claimed to be an illegal alien, say from south of zee border, and see how that plays out. Chances are good that they'll release him back into the streets.

This isn't Gooden's first breakdance. He was sent to rehab after testing positive for cocaine in 1987, months after the Mets won the World Series, an event he cannot recollect.

In 1995, he was suspended for the entire season for failing yet another drug test because he didn't know he was going to be tested.

In 2010, he was arrested for crashing his vehicle while under the influence of drugs and his 5-year-old son, Dylan, was being driven to school at the time.

On a serious note, there's no doubt that Gooden has a deep-seated drug problem and needs intense intervention. He threw his only no-hitter in 1996 while on the mound for the NY Yankees. He deserves to be treated for drug abuse and treated with respect.

Obama's tango: "Optics? What, me care?"

Neither rain, nor snow, nor ISIS slaughter can stop our "cool" president from doing the "wave" at a Cuban baseball game, and doing the tango in Argentina. 

Hey, who cares about the optics?

While Muslim jihadists follow Sura 9:5 and do their level best to kill us, our so-called commander in chief was in a communist island nation controlled by an evil dictator where he attended a baseball game and went dancing . . . poorly.

The president of the Council on Foreign Affairs Richard Haas said, on MSNBC, that the awkward dance move by Obama was a bad idea. He went even further saying that whoever on the Obama advance team who let him do the dance, ought to be looking for a different job--perhaps as a community organizer.

Of course he disagreed with rational people who agree that Obama should have canceled his trip to Argentina after the Brussel attacks, but why should anything short of a nuclear warhead destroying Washington D.C. keep him from having fun?

Even if Obama knew how to dance the tango, he should have done his last tango after the Paris attack. His stupid behavior should be a clear indication of just how in touch he is with the American people. In fact, we should boo him whenever he makes the claim "that's not who we are" when referring to our desires to increase scrutiny on Muslim "no go zones."

When the female dancer first approached Obama, he resisted, but like he did with Iran, he gave in to her demands.

This time, however, Michelle was not amused.
