Wrestler-turned-politician accused of beating sons

Brian Blair is a former pro wrestler who became a right-wing county commissioner in Tampa's Hillsborough County. He ran on a "family values" platform.

Blair was named Conservative Fool Of The Day for 5/9/06 because of a lawsuit he filed against a restaurant. He blamed the eatery for allegedly causing him to get drunk and fall, which he claims ruined his wrestling career. However, footage was found showing him wrestling after the "career-ending injury."

Uproariously, Blair lost his reelection bid last year. After the election, Blair sued his opponent for what he claimed was "libel."

Now the Republican former commish is accused of punching his teenage sons on Father's Day.

Authorities say Blair punched one son in the face and injured him, and then he put him in a chokehold. Then, according to this report, Blair punched his other son and injured him too.

It turns out that Blair was also accused of beating up a woman once. He was supposed to be charged with battery, but because he had left the country, no attempt was made to retrieve him.

But now he's charged with a felony for the incident yesterday.

GOP "family values" in action!
