My favorite ex-Congressman in trouble again
I’ll admit it: I’m jealous of people who live in New York’s 19th and 20th Congressional districts. Not just because two progressive candidates won resounding victories there last November, but also because the two former Republican Congressmen — Sue Kelly and John Sweeney — are so, shall we say, colorful. Sweeney is pictured above helping some frat brothers party down. He’s in trouble yet again, not suprisingly (from the Daily Politics):
 Former Rep. John Sweeney was charged with aggravated DWI when he was pulled over by State Police early this morning on the Northway with a 23-year-old woman in his car, police told the Daily News.
Sweeney was driving northbound in his hometown of Clifton Park when he was arrested at 1:19 a.m., between exits 9 and 10.
State Police had no comment when asked the identity of the passenger in Sweeney’s 2004 BMW sedan. Sweeney was also ticketed for driving erratically. A law enforcement source said Sweeney’s car had been swerving and the woman was seated partially on his lap when Trooper Phillip Dickson first spotted him.
Sweeney’s blood alcohol content registered at .18 (fixed) percent when he was checked at the Clifton Park station, according to Lt. Scott Coburn.
The guy on the left looks like he is gesturing that there is weed to be found.
Congressmen getting DUI’s? Say it ain’t so…
Good thing we don’t have any area Congressmen with DUI’s on their records… oh wait, that’s right…
do note the dude in the background blowing a fattie…
I caught that, too. Wow. I wonder if Sweeney inhales?
