Crapo Says He Kept Alcohol In Apartment ‘On Occasion,’ ‘To Relieve Stress’

It would be more fun inhaling helium then calling constituents.

Less dangerous.

What a bunch of Crappo

Sen. Crappo will see how unstressed he is explaining his DUI's back home.

Welcome to D.U., dwigthreeD.

"I went for a 40 minute drive?"

More to this....

Well, probably not, since he's influential the mormon church will forgive him. If he was just some every day schmuck, they'd definitely kick him to the curb

(tap tap taptaptap)

It seems like trolling is now a job requirement for Idaho senators.

What happened was pretty self-explanatory. Someone needs to teach him the principle of "Least said, soonest mended".

I was just watching Dr. Phil who gave a list of signs someone is lying through their teeth and one of the signs was "they give too many details". Ha. Ha. How appropriate for this lying sack of shit.

what time of day or night.
I bet he had just dropped off a prostitute probably a male one.
He got caught during universal booty call hours. he was doing more than drinking he was doing someone he wasn't suppose to.

DISCLAIMER
This is pure speculation I have no proof. but this guy is F.O.S!

I also live in the DC area and there is no such thing as stress free driving...even at night when there is less traffic.

And during the Christmas shopping time...he's full of it!

while wearing headphones to drown out the loud talkers.

He gave 3-4 different explanations of why he visited a seedy nude massage parlor, each of which contradicted the others.

My bet is :

1) He wasn't drinking alone in his apartment.
2) He wasn't just going for a drive
3) He was driving home from after drinking with someone he shouldn't have been with in the first place and that's what he's really covering up.

those who are way willing to give a detailed explanation are hiding something more dubious than what they are confessing... like Patraeus, for instance, I don't believe he resigned for simply having an affair with that woman. Crapo is a highly experienced liar, as I used to be one of his constituents and i caught him at it and let several news outlets know about it. He spent days releasing alternate explanations for what I exposed. And none of them were true, those of us who were present at the event where he lied to our faces know it and have never let him off the hook either.

The LDS church requires something far more horrid for them to do more than give him a pep talk. Hell, you have to really piss them off a number of times for them to accept that you have told them you wish to leave their religion. I know several who tried and it took years. He's embedded so nothing more will happen unless he gets caught out of state again and then it will only be an issue with that jurisdiction. (LDS = Latter Day Saints).

if you doubt me, might want to talk to some ex-BYU professors.

when I wrote that, those professors came to mind and I was prepared to make mention of them but didn't want reprimand from somewhere. Talking about that secular group cam get one in trouble... also worthy of mention is that blogger who was exposing some of mittens' activities and issues during the election, they were threatened with the "dreaded" (?) excommunication. If I had been born into a family that was involved in all that, I would have welcomed the distinction.

But you are correct, teaching feminism of simply holding such views while employed by the church will get you to that distinguished goal much more quickly. How dare someone advocate for equality for women!

But it does help explain the whole part where he'll not suffer much from his home state when you understand that there is no such thing as separation of church and state in Idaho... he's anointed and can do little to no wrong. Look at how many times Senator Wide-stance had to get busted before he was advised to resign. And preaching is a specialty, it helps cover the BS snell for most of their "flock".

What a simpering pile of stale horseshit. He's sobbing and grovelling because he got caught, no other reason. This type of hypocrisy sickens me more than anything.

He is fined $250 (the minimum in Va. for first offense) and apparently he is not required to install ignition interlock device on his car as per Virginia State law. I am shocked at this double standard. (not really)
" In summary, I am profoundly sorry for the pain and embarrassment that I have brought to my family, to Idahoans, to my church, to my colleagues in the U.S. Senate and my staff, to anyone who has placed their trust in me."

How about being sorry for being a republican obstructionist asshole!

there's all sorts of mitigation going on in this "statement" - tell the whole truth - people are more forgiving of people who lay it on the line

Sorry, I just don't believe the "drunk driving therapy and I found meself roving far from my home" alibi.

Check out a related thread from someone who lives there: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014356422

Keep talking, you lying crap douchebag pile of shit with worms wiggling around and flies all over it.

I don't believe for a second that he slammed down a few vodka tonics and then decided to "go for a drive." You go for a WALK if you need fresh air. He was coming home from a assignation, IMO.

I hope a good reporter starts following his ass around!

Perhaps there is a Mormon equivalent of AA. It's not unusual to be a Jack Mormon but driving while drunk is.

Have Republicans actually forgotten How to tell the truth?? When was the last time you heard one talking, that wasn't lying about something? It's become pathological! They Never take responsibility for Anything they do.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

What a comedian!!!

What a stupid diatribe to write and release--it's a gift that keeps on giving. I hope his next opponent has the good sense to refer to it early and often.

He would have been better off shutting his trap, leaving his statement at "I made a mistake, I am ashamed, embarrassed, and sorry" and doing a short stint -- a week or two--at one of those fake-ass spas they call "rehab" that cater to wealthy, unserious people.

What is the matter with their Senators?

First it was Craig with "wide stance" and now a very un-Mormon habit of drinking..

Or, perhaps he is at odds with who he really is. He owes it to the people of Idaho to resign, so they can elect another loser like he and Larry Wide Stance. It isn't his fault he and Larry let the voters of Idaho down, they let themselves down when they elected these creeps. How naive do they have to be to continue to elect these kind of people?

Such a complex explanation! Imagine... we so commonly go for a drive to blow off some steam when we're drunk!

The bullshit is strong in this one. He's obviously incapable of telling the truth.
