Sowell is raising the classic “Officer, I was too drunk to walk, so I had to drive” defense. A quick search of various legal databases reveals no cases in which this defense actually worked.

Didn’t Bush’s campaign manager try to float that one briefly? Before the whole *hedge* thing came up?
Sowell is a sucker.

thomas is technically a useful idiot.

he is no sucker by any means. those that rely on his voice to assuage their guilt for their own racist beliefs are the true suckers. the rest of us are just fucked till those assholes finally die.

He knew he was violating the law.

Is it too much to ask that we have a President who actually obeys the laws?

Driving too slowly is one of the signs police look for in catching drunk drivers. It might be why he was pulled over.

He wasn’t pulled over. He ran off the road into a hedge, as I recall. And it apparently wasn’t the first time he came home drunk, presumably having driven.
Molly Ivins’ and Lou Dubose’s “Shrub” would have been a much more entertaining book had we not actually elected this jackass.

Yee! A frontpage post, I think I need new pantaloons.

I’m going to start (manage) a band named White Flight, with Sowell on lead vocals/guitar, Darr on bass, Pastor Giles on Drums, Malkin (in beret and big sunglasses) on maracas, and Grogan on the whiskey jug.

We’re gonna be huge — Lamb & Lynx huge!!!

“He wasn’t pulled over. He ran off the road into a hedge, as I recall.”

You recall correctly. It was Karen Hughes who put out the ‘He was driving too slowly’ lie. He ran off the road and into the hedge.

Do you think that since he is Shrub he was only trying to stay with his kind?

It was Karen Hughes who put out the ‘He was driving too slowly’ lie.

I bet she can drink anyone, even Bush, under the table.
