What the hell is going on with politicians and their families? Everywhere you look these days, you find drunks. And if you’re anything like us, you’ll be shocked to learn that there’s no Kennedy connection in this story.
Instead, we have Senator John Kerry’s daughter, Senator Richard Lugar’s wife, and President Obama’s attorney general. The first two were drunk on alcohol and the latter was drunk on power.
Let’s start off with this story from the Los Angeles Times about John Kerry’s daughter:
The daughter of Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) was arrested in Hollywood early this morning for alleged drunk driving. Los Angeles police say Alexandra Kerry, 36, was stopped by police during a traffic stop at about 12:40 a.m.
Now let’s move on to Fox News for this story about Senator Richard Lugar’s wife:
The wife of U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., has been charged with drunken driving and hit-and-run after police said she hit a parked car in northern Virginia.
And finally, in the most egregious story of them all, Fox News reports the story of an Attorney General who’s drunk with power:
According to Holder, his decisions regarding the trial location of the Gitmo detainees could not be based upon a desired outcome rather a protection of the integrity of the American legal system. The trial of terrorists on American soil, Holder argued, was driven by his responsibility to uphold the “Rule of Law.”
When asked however about the possibility the detainees might be acquitted by virtue of some unanticipated technicality, Holder insisted all cases had been meticulously pored over so that only those which could be reasonably ensured a conviction would be brought before the Federal Court. Time and again, the Attorney General reiterated his confidence that the outcomes would be successful. A prosecutor himself, Holder insisted that if he had been concerned any of these cases might lead to a negative outcome, he almost certainly would have opted for a different course of action. But as one reporter justly queried, how could one possibly consider it within the spirit of the “The Rule of Law” to try certain cases in the Federal Court System as opposed to the Military Tribunals based upon an assessment of which could be guaranteed victories and which could not? And specious logic aside, many opponents have expressed their concern over the degree to which the United States Government might now be forced to divulge classified information during the impending discovery process.
In addition to being drunk with power, Holder was accused of making illegal left turns.
