"Idaho senator charged with DUI" *
-----------------//-----------------
[Sunday, December 23, 2012 - Senator Mike Crapo, R. Idaho, was arrested on a DUI charge in Alexandria, VA. The senator, it turns out, is also a Mormon bishop. His religion forbids the drinking of alcohol and other beverages such as tea and coffee!]**

His name reminds me of a Senator from South Dakota. His name was Joe Bottom. Believe it or not, he named his daughter Rosie. Can you believe that? True story. Back in the 1960's. Yes, he was a Conservative Republican.

ha ha ha. That's hilarious.
I was about to comment that Mr. Crap-o must have had a harsh childhood ... what with all the cruel name calling and such. It is a miracle he did not end up being a bully or something. Oh wait. He did become a senator, didn't he?

Idaho? ....hmm-mm?
Isn't that the state with another hypocrite Republican Senator who was caught soliciting homosexual favors in an airport restroom some years back?
Whazzup, Idaho?

He was pretty hammered.
Not sure what sect of Mormonism he follows but it appears to be pretty liberal.

The MoreGin sect, maybe? But they are not liberal by a long stretch!

Maybe the fact that he got elected 3 times is just Montana's way of p**ing at DC & the Gov't long distance.

A name that is fully consistent with being a member of congress. Anyway he will apologize and be reelected in a landslide and if he had a gun, run for president.

Or he could join the crazy pundits and assorted villains at FOX where they magically make news out of nothing for the propagation of fear and hate.

Whew! It's a good thing he didn't have a woman not his wife in the car with him, and it's a good thing he didn't drive it off a bridge and leave her to drown. Oh, yeah, that was someone else.

"When will they ever learn?" is a phrase from that old folk song, "Where have all the flowers gone?"
Apparently, we all must be dunderheads for constantly thinking and doing the wrong things over and over again. What they say about the short memory and attention span must really be true.
A possible solution ...
I believe that history should be taught at every level of the education experience in this country. And by history, I don't mean the revisionist kind. We should hammer ourselves with local, national, and world history as school curricula. That way, maybe, no one will try to pull the wool over our heads ... tell us "up is down" , "wrong is right", etc.

Let's ban alcoholic beverages. We know how that worked the first time.
FormerET responds ...
7:10 PM CST
Nah, just ban gun users and drunkards. Problem solved because you are dealing with the demand side, not the supply.
You will be given ownership licenses only. Why should society give you permission to drink (whether to excess or not) or to use your firearm to kill another human being.
We will have the best kind of Catch-22 situation - one that will force people to think and to act responsibly.
And of-course if you don't want to abide by society's laws, then you can go and live in the wilds. Even a "survivalist" would need to live in a community to one degree or another.

Re: " Crapo is serving his third term in the Senate. "
I wouldn't say that Senator Crapo is any kind of a servant. The only "serving" he is associated with seems to be either some rapturous praises from his constituents in Idaho ... or the shots of boilermakers he will soon be vowing to ban from his life.

I think we should call dui driving like a kennedy.
FormerET responds ...
8:03 PM CST
It is DUI ... not DLK, genius.
In case it needs to be spelled out ...
DUI ==> driving under the influence
or in the present situation, we might be tempted to say ...
DUI => driver usually inebriated
And we are concerned with the living only. We leave the dead rest in peace.
