That duck could have deserved it, you know. We should ask Dr. Isaza, given the facts at hand, whether he’s prepared to consider the duck blameless in the matter.

Auditor Decapitates Duck
By Tom Shoop | Wednesday, September 26, 2007 | 09:21 AM

Here’s another one for the “You Can’t Make This Stuff Up” files: The Rocky Mountain News reports that Scott D. Clark, an auditor with the Denver office of the Health and Human Services Department’s inspector general office, is facing a felony animal cruelty charge related to an incident at an Embassy Suites hotel in St. Paul, Minn., where he had traveled for work.

According to witnesses, Scott cornered a duck near an atrium pond at the hotel and ripped its head off. Announcing, “I’m hungry. I’m gonna eat it,” Clark got on an elevator with the headless bird and took it up to the fifth floor.

On top of that, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports, local law enforcement officials said in an official complaint filed against Clark that after police arrived on the scene, Clark said “that he worked for the federal government and when this was over he would have the officers’ jobs.”

When told that he was in trouble for killing the duck, Clark told officers, “Why, because I killed it out of season? Big deal, it’s just a [expletive] duck.”

He asked John Kerry a really important question, and you just don't do that anymore because it helps the terrorists win. Stupid fucking duck. Dude, that duck totally had it coming.
