1. That guy is either way to arrogant or just damn stupid!

Actually, I'd be it's the arrogant one! The "Hey, I know the RIGHT PEOPLE" syndrome.

I also noticed the article said "above .08". I wonder just how much above it was????

I guess since it's hit the papers, he's out of luck for getting this little infringement hidden.

10. He might be arrogant and/or stupid

but he is most likely an alcoholic. It is typical behavior of an alcoholic to keep doing the thing
that is ruining your life even though all the signs are there.

3. Probably the only way

he can look himself in the mirror as a Repug is to be intoxicated.

Hell, if my party were responsible for the mess we're in now, I'd be drunk, too.

6. The last bit about the failure to keep right is delicious

thank you

7. Maybe he'll go for the trifecta

8. Once is a tragic mistake. Twice is the beginning of a bad habit

and twice within two days is confirmation of a serious problem.

I guess you can't push GOP bullshit nonstop sober.

12. Don't believe it for one minute that this was the 1st and 2nd time....

he drove intoxicated. Dimes to donuts says his only remorse will be the fact that he got busted.....


Serious problem, indeed!

[Warpy]

15. He's 38

not 21. He's got a problem.

[BrotherBuzz]

16. That's exactly what I'm saying....

Dimes to donuts this ass has been driving wet since his college days and thinks it's OK because he considers himself an elitists - he believes he's entitled to do so in his own demented mind.

He's got a problem - in spades!

14. Wrong GOP Favorite James Walsh-Dang!

In the 109th Congress, Mr. Walsh is chairman of the Subcommittee on Military Quality of Life and Veterans Affairs. As chair of MilQual/VA, the third largest of the 10 appropriations budgets at approximately $125 billion, Mr. Walsh has spending oversight responsibility for the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Defense Health Program, Department of Defense installations and military housing programs, the Armed Forces Retirement Home, the America Battle Monuments Commission, and Arlington National Cemetery.

Care to guess at his military experience? He is a typical RepubliCON, that's right, he has none, nada, zero, zip, 0, the big O!
