And the Hypocrite of the New Year Award goes to… Idaho
Republican Sen. Michael Crapo (applause).
Crapo, a self-professed lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, got busted on December 22 for drunk driving. We all know from the recent Presidential
Campaign that drinking is not permitted by the Mormon Church. I suppose Republican Senators get a waiver
from God. According to AP reports he was
quaffing vodka and tonic that night, couldn’t sleep and decided to go out for a
drive (a wonderful example of decision making.) After a half-hour, El Crapo decided he was
too crocked to drive and headed home when he got nabbed. At the station house his blood alcohol level
registered 0.14 (legal limit 0.08). With
a BAH that high after a half-hour, he must have been really, really smashed
when he left home. He now joins General
Petreus and Rep. Weiner in the Pantheon of Dumb Ass Behavior.
