Recalled Wisconsin Republican arrested for driving drunk
Source: The Raw Story

Former Wisconsin State Sen. Randy Hopper (R) was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated Sunday after someone complained to the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Department that his black Suburban was “all over the road.”

When deputies caught up with Hopper in the Festival Foods parking lot, there was a single passenger car, 25-year-old mistress Valerie Cass, a former lobbyist who was given a job by Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) administration under suspicious circumstances.

“The person who called it in followed (the SUV) into the parking lot because they obviously wanted something done since he (Hopper) was all over the road,” Chief Deputy Mark Strand told FDLReporter.




Hours later, the former state senator did take a preliminary breath test (PBT) while cooling his heels on a 12-hold in a jail cell. Strand would only say that the results were over .08 legal blood alcohol limit.

The toes you step on today on the way up the ladder of life just might be connected to the ass you have to kiss on the way down.

4. It's gonna be a long way down, Randy- your playmate will leave; your wife will never take you back
You can try the insipid "tearful admission of guilt and subsequent resurrection" routine, but your goose is over-cooked.
