Ex- IL Gov Ryan's daughter charged with DUI
Yet another shining example of Republican Family Values

http://www.dailysouthtown.com/southtown/dsindex/18-ds5.htm


--"After posting a $1,000 bond, Fairman's husband drove his wife to recover her Mustang from a shopping center parking lot at the southwest corner of Illinois 83 and Harlem Avenue, Turner said.

When police spotted Lynda Fairman driving her car past the police station, 7607 W. College Drive, about 2:30 a.m., they pulled her over again, Turner said.

"The police officer suggested it was in her best interest to leave her keys and car at the station and drive with (her husband), who was following her," Turner said.

Turner said he did not know if Michael Fairman had been drinking Wednesday.

Michael Fairman pleaded guilty to driving under the influence in 1999 and was convicted of the same offense in 1995.

Secretary of State Jesse White did not revoke Fairman's license after his second offense. Instead, Fairman received court supervision because the Cook County judge who presided over the case did not know of the earlier conviction. The first DUI was never placed on his driving record in the secretary of state's office, which Ryan ran at the time."----

1. Who cares.
Like no child of a Democratic politician was ever DUI, let alone arrested for it.

2. Dem's don't play the "Family Values" Card.
Repukes preach that their methods result in higher moral standards. Yet time and time again this is proven to be wrong.

And that's why I brought this up. That and the blurb about Ryan's son-in-law getting a free pass on his first DUI, since Ryan was SOS at the time.

3. Wait'll the "other" Ryan's divorce...
Records get unsealed. If what's rumored to be in there is really in there, they'll wish the OTHER Ryan was running instead...

4. Repeat after me: "Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan, Ryan"
Yeah, I know that they're not related, but that didn't stop Jack Ryan from having the word "Jack" printed in a font that was about 20 times larger than the work "Ryan" on his campaign poster.
