Driving While (barely noted) Republican

By Mona

It wasn’t until the 5th paragraph that this story identified former Rep. John Sweeney — charged with aggravated DWI (and allegedly with a young female hump bouncing on his lap) — as a Republican. There are right-wing blogs that keep track of this sort of thing re: how far into an article one must read before the reporter cites a miscreant politician’s party affiliation. Seriously. Except they screech the party identification is “buried” only when the accused is a Democrat.
.
BTW. Our Leader once lauded Sweeney as “Congressman Kick-Ass.”

    But of course, the IMPORTANT point is that this idiot is no longer actually in office, correct? Or is it just that he has so many ties to the NY GOP?

    Actually, the important point is that this guy is 52 (older than me) and can still get 23-year-old chicks. Woo hoo!

    Drive slowly in the right/wrong parts of town, and you too can get chicks who are 23.
