OMG!
Just getting past his DNA flying all over that podium while he slurred and spit his way through that rant, was painful enough to watch - realizing that this is just one of the many idiots we "pay" to run our government makes me want to !!
Yeah, it was pretty disgusting. But I'm sure it's not the first time that a senator has addressed his colleagues on the floor completely in his cups.
Here's a recent example of a state senator from Taxachusetts who can't seem to stay off the sauce, even when he's under house arrest (from the Wall Street Journal):
State Senator Under House Arrest After Alcohol Test
BOSTON -- A Massachusetts state senator who claims his toothpastes caused him to test positive in an alcohol screening days after he began probation has been placed under 24-hour house arrest.
A judge on Wednesday ordered Sen. Anthony Galluccio to stay in his house at all times. For now, he can't attend Senate sessions, which he had been allowed to do under previous terms of his home confinement.
The Cambridge Democrat pleaded guilty last week to leaving the scene of an Oct. 4 accident that caused minor injuries to a father and his 13-year-old son.
Mr. Galluccio is due back in court Jan. 4. If a judge finds that he violated his probation, he could go to jail for up to a year.
Mr. Galluccio said he obeyed an order to abstain from alcohol and blames the positive readings on sorbitol, a sugar alcohol found in toothpastes.
Drunk on Duty Again
