The thing that bugs me is that now all of the focus is on his coming out, not on the fact that he was driving a state car while drunk.

What bugs me is he was plain driving while drunk, period. As far as the 'voting for his constituents' drivel he is passing out- bullshyt. (This is directed at him, MG- not you!) What, he's a political mercenary? Is that it? He couldn't run on an honest platform, so he had to lie and sell himself out to the people who could get him into office? He's a hypocrite, a liar, and he's harmed people with his actions. In other words, a perfect political model.
