Crapo got arrested for DUI in Virginia. He blew .11.

Love those passive voice apologies.

Wrist, meet slap.

Fame comes to my neighborhood! Also, haha, hypocrite.

Showing such a complete and utter lack of judgement I would see no problem with him getting kicked out of the Senate somehow. I know it wont happen but a person can dream at least.

.11 ain't shit, motherfucker. At .15% you are moderately dangerous. At .08% you are less dangerous than a person on a cellphone and maybe even regular drivers. Mothers Against Drunk Driving is a Neo-Prohibitionist shitfuck bucket of wingnut thunderflaps. The Standard Field Sobriety Tests promulgated by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Authority is a knowing falsehood. Most completely sober people fail the SFSTs because they are not scientific. In badgehumping science and math illterate America, field sobriety test fails you.

If I left anything out, I apologize. When I argue with people about this, I feel like I am describing Timecube. Oh wait...

Fuck you, Brett. Just Kidding.

Flowers you are full of shit, as usual.

So what you're saying is that he had a couple hits of liquid courage, went to get laid, and then got nailed by the cops en route.

Lulz all around.

You're full of my dick, bitch! Go celebrate whatever passes for Christmas in your empty fucking head and leave us alone.

Not like parts of San Francisco, but whenever a Republican gets a DUI, I always google the neighborhood along with the phrase, "gay hotspot." It usually is.

Sorry Flowers you arent my type, go make your advances towards someone like Pogo.

That's right! Speaking of your type, I hope you do meet someone who is your type! And I hope when you meet a nice looking man in a fake plaster cast who asks you to help him carry his groceries to his van, he turns out to be the organized type.

Nice, someone wishing that I be killed, I can cross that off my list of things to be experienced online.

Which would be hilarious and all, but unfortunately for the story, Del Ray is not a gay neighbourhood. Some nice enough restaurants, but no music scene to speak of, no clubs, and not that much happening after 11. So if he was loading up on liquid courage before looking for an anonymous hook up there, he's even dumber than he looks.

LOL. I highly doubt that it needed to be crossed off of your list AGAIN.

Bah, the internet lied to me!

I didn't wish that you be killed, I made a joke that I hoped Ted Bundy would beat you unconscious with a tire iron, stuff you into his van, take you the woods, kill you, and have sex with your dead body repeatedly over the course of the next several days as decomposition sets in. I am not going to waste wishes on either you or Ted Bundy, but rest assured, I do think that the two of you deserve each other. If anyone in this thread is wishing for anything, it'd be a Jefferson Starship reunion.

You should really get professional help, you are a sick sick person.

Not sure what the hell is going on in this thread at this point, but this is not going to play well with his southern Idaho constituency. It's not a question of whether he was drunk or a danger, but that he was clearly drinking at all in violation of a faith they take pretty seriously in those parts. It doesn't help that he was inebriated enough to run a red light in a situation where, if you were going to get yourself into the position in the first place, doing anything to draw police attention to yourself is showing some pretty piss-poor judgement.

Disclosure - I'm from Idaho and interned for our other notorious senator Larry Craig back in 2004 so I met Mike Crapo quite a few times. Not the most charismatic guy, but he always seemed pretty straight-laced. This actually surprised me.

So he'll get primaried, I take it? Another Tea Party guy to take the seat, hooray?

My god. Flowers is making the baby Jesus cry on Christmas. Ohhh the humanity.

I agree, Jefferson Starship was fucking awful.

Hey, those are small town Real American values.

Not to mention that breathing-challenged folks such as myself are at a distinct disadvantage when taking a breathalyzer test.

THIS ISSSSSSSSS

THE SANCTUM!

deal with it, brett

I'm just happy that his ancestors avoided embarrassment by changing their name when they came over from the old country to America. It used to be "Shito".

Come on people, don't leave the basic leg work to me. You took your eye off the prize for Brett and now I get all the sweet, sweet "Hey his name is 'Crapo'!!!!" likes

I had a friend named Crapo, (spelled Crapeau) so I'm long burned out on the name jokes.

Oh, you agree? Like the post, then, Pogo.

Do it.

Like the post.

If you don't think you've experienced that every day for the last 8 years, you haven't read a single post that wasn't yours. That wouldn't really surprise me.

I don't like posts I reply to. You either like a post to make your statement, or you quote and respond, duh!

I agree entirely.

But I don't get points for replies!

Liking and quoting a post serve two totally different purposes.

For example, I quoted both your posts, but liked neither because THEY ARE WRONG.

This though:

I liked it too.

Aaron's post isn't wrong, it's a (mild) troll. Note the name of the only person to like Pogo's post thus far.

Also from Idaho. My brother took his daughter to prom, in fact. She was a sweetheart, but the senator is extremely eccentric (albeit not as much as Craig). Not being Mormon, we just wrote it off as difference in upbringing...but this incident makes me wonder.

I am both disturbed and intrigued.

I parsed this as "my brother took his (the brother's) daughter to prom" and could not figure out what some sort of daddy-daughter dance gone whacko had to do with this other than making Idaho seem very odd.

I got it on read #10 of the sentence finally.
