Proving that the Good Ole US of A won’t get shown up by anyone, Republican congressman Trey Radel of Florida has been arrested on cocaine charges.

Way to go, USA.

In the statement, Radel said he realizes “the disappointment my family, friends and constituents must feel. Believe me, I am disappointed in myself, and I stand ready to face the consequences of my actions.”

The arrest, he said, has a “positive side.” “It offers me an opportunity to seek treatment and counseling,” he said.

Yeah, let’s keep a positive light on the fact that you’re a rightwing Republican making choices about peoples’ lives for them while you’re. on. freekin’. cocaine.
