don't google this

I posted truth and since I know you didn't open my link, here's the story.

on May 4, 1988, Brewer, then a state senator, was driving on Interstate 17 when she crashed into the back of a mini-van.


Brewer failed a series of sobriety tests, and the DPS officer on the scene said she appeared drunk and that her breath smelled like booze.

Brewer was cuffed and taken to the station, where she was supposed to have her blood-alcohol level tested.

The test never happened. Rather, Brewer had a chat with a lieutenant before two officers drove her home. She was never charged.

At the scene, Brewer told officers she had one scotch before getting in the car. Later, at the station, Brewer conceded that she had two, which was the third story Brewer told the officers.

Initially, Brewer said someone rear-ended her, pushing her car into the mini-van, before driving off. But there was no damage to her vehicle and there was a thick layer of dust on her back bumper that was undisturbed.

Brewer was released because, at the time, she was a sitting state senator, which makes her immune from getting charged with a serious crime while the Legislature's in session.

From the Republic:

According to his widow, Holland (the victim) called the DPS in the days after the crash to ask whether Brewer would face any consequences. The person he spoke with said that Brewer had immunity from arrest.

Brewer was released because, according to the arresting officers, she was protected from arrest by her status as a lawmaker in session. Brewer did not ask for immunity, nor did she mention that she was a senator, according to reports.

"It wasn't my decision," Brewer said. "I never asked for legislative immunity."

The fact that Brewer had a few scotches before getting into a car wreck is one thing. The fact that she has a lengthy record of wanting to throw the book at those convicted of DUI is another.

Aside from championing several pieces of legislation that increase penalties for drunk drivers while in the Legislature (check it out here), Brewer's administration often boasts about its "Drive Hammered, Get Nailed" DUI-enforcement program.

We'll never know how many scotches the governor actually had because no BAC test was ever conducted. But the real question remains: how many scotches did Jan have before debating Terry Goddard last month?
 
I go through the EXACT same reasoning with WILLPOWER, Jules.

I AM NOT saying that you are wrong. Only that I have a hefty distrust of "truths" lifted from the internet.

When I start believing "Bush planned 9/11, Obama's GAY, Obama was born on a mountaintop in Kenya, etc.", well, then, I have to believe that some little wierdo is controlling my every action from a secret NSA computer base under Crazy Horse Mountain.

And, I resent that...I am perfectly capable of being a Wierdo, all by meself, no additional mind-control help required, thank you very much!

PS: 1988 was 24 years ago.
 
The left's obsession with demonizing anyone who criticizes or in any way opposes President Obama never stops, does it? Bill Clinton referred to it, aptly, as 'the politics of personal destruction'...and pretended to be offended by it. That didn't last long and it is not only extant but thriving. I'm sure the leftist websites are consumed with this on a level we haven't seen since the Kardashian wedding kept the tabloids ablaze for weeks, and it carries just about as much importance as that show-biz farce.

Now, because Arizona Jan Brewer didn't genuflect before President Obama and acted inappropriately for a person in her situation (a governor greeting a visiting president) the lefty blogs and websites are going to fall all over themselves to get as much mileage from this minor incident as possible. Most Americans might be interested for about 10 seconds but that is probably a stretch. Digging up dirt on Republican politicians is the stock-in-trade of the left because they know they can't sell left-wing doctrine honestly so they try to tear down their opponents, instead. This Brewer revelation, older than some people reading this, might give some lefties a thrill down their leg but most Americans will yawn, as well they should. This kind of rubbish is why so many Americans are turned off to 'politics'. It looks too much like a bunch of mean kids fighting on the playground. Most hate it - but that never stopped anyone before and, more's the pity, won't stop them now.
 
What happens if I Google 'obama drug use'?

Oh, you get this: http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2007/01/obamas_cocaine_pot_use_does_it.html

Obama, on a recent visit to "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" was asked by Leno about taking drugs.
"Remember, Senator, you are under oath. Did you inhale?"
Replied Obama, "That was the point."

Mind you, I'm not defending Brewer's drunk driving...if, in fact it ever happened... but merely pointing out that the other party n the recent altercation is no angel either.
 
It's sad really...instead of concentrating on issues, we are reduced to reading tabloid style attacks from the same groups screaming that they should be ignored during the 90s...personally, I couldn't care less about Gingrich whoring around, Romney having money in the Caymans and Switzerland, Santorum's wife having questionable boyfriends in her past, etc...same as I didn't care about Bill Clinton getting a hummer by a chubby intern. Let's talk about the gridlock in Congress and the politics being played by the leadership on both sides, let's talk about a debt that is out of control and nobody doing or suggesting any ways of fixing it...let's talk about this country hemorrhaging jobs, about killing job creating ventures due to special interest groups, about having the world's second highest corporate income tax rate and wanting to make us the highest...How about we act like the adults we are supposed to be and try and solve problems brought on by both parties before we are talking about treaties between the two nations that used to make up the United States...unfriggin' believable...
 
anyone who would disrespect a president by wagging their finger in his face......I think is either dumb as dirt or drunk.

what's your explanation?

she claims she "didn't remember" doing that. that supports both my guesses.

How long ago was Obama in college and did drugs?
 
Was it "driving while intoxicated" or "driving under the influence"?? And, what was her BAC...you seem to have made assumptions without facts in evidence if you are going to suggest Brewer was driving drunk.
 
My explanation was that there is little love lost between these two.

Do you think that if she were 'drunk' she would have been allowed anywhere near the President?

I should think not.
 
How about a President, like Bill Clinton, who wagged his finger in America's face?

Was Bill dumb as dirt, or, just trashy as dirt, and/or drunk too?
 
The religious zealots have sprung into action at the mere whiff of non-worship, huh? The number of top posts and profound personal attacks launched is spectacular. It's been rather fun to watch.

Many of President Obama's admirers have fully crossed the line. While I wouldn't disrespect the man or the office personally, if he's anywhere near as stellar as these adherents seem to believe, he should be awfully embarrassed by their conduct. Good grief.
