Under the category "Who really cares?" we learn that one of Clinton's top advisors was driving 70mph through a 30mph zone while drunk.

Apparently he was lost too.

I wonder what the reaction from the Clintons will be.

They'll say he's fired but he'll end up retaining his position.

After all; if the Kennedy's can get away with it, why not this guy.

Then why post it?
Why should he lose his job?

And what makes you think he'll get away with it. I believe we have mechanisms in place for dealing with drunk drivers, and I severely doubt he is exempt.

Well, yeah. Politically it might be a good idea.

But really, why?

well donkey bless your belief in such but I believe theres a Minnesota congressman running around out there, that had 4 duis, then killed a motorcyclist and spent not a day in jail....if you got the clout, its all up for grabs....

be that as it may...she'll jettison him I believe....or as si modo said, there will be some hijinx from special interest grps..is it justice? No, he should go through the process.....if I got a dui, my employer would not even learn about it, I don’t have any behavior clauses etc. that my HR folks can hold me too, and frankly its none of their biz. But he should know better, as hes in a postin where this can cast lnegative light on his employer. Frankly, if hillary had heart she would not can him, and by heart I mean it in the new vernacular; guts.....
she could say that people make mistakes and he is worthy of another chance ( if this is his first),,,,we'll see.

This couldn't of happened to a nicer guy. Blumenthal is finally getting some long overdue comeuppance. This restores my belief in Karma.

I guess time mends poor judgment and a lack moral fibre.

glass houses and all that....and considering the gratuitous insult, regards someone being an alcoholic, it doesn’t appear you are a qualified judge of someone’s moral fibre ...

If being an alcoholic alleviates someone of accountability sign me up. Having a drinking problem isn't a license fro reckless and dangerous behavior, no matter their political affiliation. When any drinks and drives they put innocent people at risk with their behavior and it is a failure of both the state and national government to allow these people to go unpunished. Do not judge my moral fibre based on my political beliefs, but instead give someone else's opinion some consideration. Insulting peopel is easy but it solves nothing and teaches even less. If that is how you solve conflicts perhaps you should consider doing so in a slightly less intellectual enviroment.

no, and I have no idea why this is a point of contention, you used it as a slur....so he’s an alcoholic? What does this have to do with anything? If he’s a “drunk” in office ala Grant that was rumored to be such, and it is effecting his performance, then, you have a point. But that isn’t the case nor did you couch it in those terms....it was a cheap shot in my opinion.

And my point wasn't an insult, but a rebuttal that one shouldn't be so quick to judge and cast aspersions upon someone because of a past transgression due to an addiction by all accounts he has been free from for 30 years....I wasn’t are there was a conflict by the way.....And political affiliation has zero to do with it, I just made a case ( earlier post) for a highly placed democratic operative that has been arrested for a dui, not to be treated any differently than you or me. .. My statement stands.

Strange you would have to ask that...I don't know...maybe because it might be an example of some serious bad judgment to drive 40 miles over the speed limit while drunk when you are a chief adviser (someone paid to for their judgment) of someone running neck and neck for the leader of the most powerful nation on earth...

IMO, it's a very common offence unfortunately. I don't condone it, but it's a common one and not necessarily a sign of poor character overall. After all, Bush did get a DUI conviction, and Cheney actually had two DUI convictions. It was never a point of attack for me against Bush or Cheney and so long as it is this person's first arrest in this case, I would just leave it to the court to decide. I'm far more concerned about felonies, violent crimes, crimes involving corruption and other dishonesty and other matters involving moral turpitude.
