Anti gun legislator arrested for DUI, flight & damaging squad car
I can't beat Instapundit's summary: more support for the theory that antigunners assume we have their lack of self control. And that certain legislators think they are above the law. DUI and leaving the scene would be pretty bad -- but finishing the drink in front of the officer? [Corrected to delete the mention of pulling a gun: the report above apparently got that wrong]
Gad--even more. He was totally crocked, rear-ended a car, led police on a 100 mph chase, kicked out the window of a patrol car while under arrest, and he's chairman of judiciary committee! The officers didn't give a sobriety test because he was so unsteady they feared he'd fall and injure himself. Story here.

Huh? This article says nothing about him pulling a gun.

Democrats don't resign. No matter what. Democrats don't resign. Two words:
William Jefferson.

The cops pulled their guns on him, not the other way around.

Hey! If someone is pointing a gun at you, you might as well have a drink.

Heh. When I lived in Santa Fe some 30 years ago, the Lieutenant Governor one night drove into a lady's living room. He got out of the car and went straight for the refrigerator to guzzle all the milk he could get his hands on.
As far as I know, he didn't even get a ticket. Can you guess his party affiliation?

Obviously a Republican; they're the evil ones! Right? Did I get it right?
Uhh, how 'bout a do-over?

"[House Speaker] Naifeh said he was aware of “naysayers” who were attempting to turn Briley’s situation to partisan advantage.
“I think that’s pretty lowlife. I have absolutely no use for those people,” said Naifeh."
Lemme guess Naifeh's party affiliation. Lemme also guess what his response would have been if it were the case that a Republican legislator did all of these things.
P.U. the stench of hypocrisy is rank.

For those that play Name That Party, in the original news story, it took three paragraphs for the reporter to state that Briley is a Democrat.
