Take a cab home, just make sure you return it the next morning.

I´m curious if ABC gave this much attention to Saint Teddy when he killed Mary Jo?

So far, I haven´t heard that Crapo killed anyone and then lied to authorities to cover it up....

As a fellow Mormon, I think I´m safe in saying this will end Mr. Crapo´s political career. Probably for the best... although he campaigns as a conservative, he seems to have become part of the big, corrupt political machine. (He´ll retire and continue as part of the machine, collecting a sweet pension courtesy of the good taxpayers, while simultaneously lobbying... the standard career path.)

Nice to see that ABC mentions the party affiliation right away. I guess they´ll be doing that with democrats now too. Right?

As a fellow Idahoan this frustrates me. If you want to drink, get a sober driver but at least he didn´t kill anyone.

Crapo...

What an...unfortunate...last name.

I bet it sucked to be him growing up.

Didn´t mention his blood alcohol level. DUI is bad, but sounds like a borderline one, or they would have said he was totally wasted.

#1, Heh heh!

This is terrible, I agree. My heart goes out to all you good conservative Idahoans who will have to deal with this thing. Crapo´s timing really stinks. However, can I say it? #2 is right. And, pray tell, guess I missed the mug shot on Drudgereport and all the top of the hour FNC reporters announcing Sam Donaldson´s recent DUI? The media all so sensitive about a family´s privacy when it´s one of their media buds OR any Democrat? Sorry but I do feel better now.

Nice one, Creepo

If he was a drunken Democrat who left his mistress to drown, this wouldn´t be a big deal....

Sometimes, it really pays to be a Kennedy. When the Kennedys are too drunk to drive, the police just politely drive them home and the MFM say nothing more about it.

#10, I realize that.

The fool didn´t realize that if he wanted to become a "Lion of the Senate," he´d need to have driven his car into the river and left a young female intern to drown.

Why didn´t he use Kennedy´s excuse and say he was on his way to vote in congress? It worked for Kennedy.

Only a Kennedy can drive drunk and not be arrested. Doesn´t anyone know that yet?

Perhaps the Senator could have told the cops he was on his way to vote like Patches did to see if that line worked for Republicans.

No, #10, he´s much more of a political/media celebrity than this Crapo idiot. Nurse!!!

Why was he still in the DC area? The Senate is adjourned; he should be in Idaho.

Any of our politicians that hang around DC when they do not have to be there, should be replaced.

Note the different treatment for Patrick Kennedy´s drunk driving crash, where he wasn´t even given a sobriety test and an officer drove him home. He said he´d taken sleeping pills and the media obligingly printed his version (ABC News: "Kennedy´s Crash Highlights Dangers of Ambien")

No magical D after his name. This isn´t going to end well.

#1 - Yes, many of us have had our brushes with drinking and the law. I took a cab home once and sure enough on the way home there was a police road block, but since it was a cab they just waved it past and I arrived home safely without incident.
This was actually a real surprise since I had never driven a cab before, I don´t know where I got it and now that it´s in my garage I don´t know what the heck to do with it. Need a cab...anyone?

The MSM will drum him out of office. That´s what they do to non-democrats.

The Devil´s brew alcohol took out another Republican. What is wrong with these people?
He should have known better at his age.

That name´s so easy to abuse, it isn´t even fun thinking of which variation to use...

If it´s DUI and it´s an R, then the MSM will ride him hard. How long before he´s chased out of office by the D mob?

PS, #21 -- that´s a good story to share.

But snifter clinks to #1 for the hilarious one-liner.
