Former Repub Congressman Caught Drunk Driving with 23 yr old

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

Oh My

Former Rep. John Sweeney was charged with aggravated DWI when he was pulled over by State Police early this morning on the Northway with a 23-year-old woman in his car, police told the Daily News.

Sweeney was driving northbound in his hometown of Clifton Park when he was arrested at 1:19 a.m., between exits 9 and 10.

State Police had no comment when asked the identity of the passenger in Sweeney's 2004 BMW sedan. Sweeney was also ticketed for driving erratically. A law enforcement source said Sweeney's car had been swerving and the woman was seated partially on his lap when Trooper Phillip Dickson first spotted him.

7. These Rethug family values keep rolling out

faster than the recall of Chinese made toys.

8. His rethuglican sense of entitlement told him he was above the law.

They all think laws are for the 'little people'.

And like Larry Craig he will tell the police how wrong they were to arrest him.

9. Giuliani's campaign needs to hire this guy!

[DinahMoeHum]

10. Kirsten Gillibrand, who kicked Sweeney's ass out of office in 2006

could use our help.

Methinks NY CD-20 is a district where Karl Rove and the RNC have targeted the Democrat for defeat.

14. He's also Giuliani's buddy

State Sen. Joseph Bruno boasted about a campaign commercial for U.S. Rep. John Sweeney.

"I watched America's Mayor on TV saying, 'John Sweeney is the go-to guy,'" said Bruno, R-Brunswick, speaking at a campaign rally. "And if Rudy Giuliani says it, it's got to be true."

On Friday, Giuliani flew into Saratoga County to deliver that message in person.

Giuliani, joined by Bruno and Gov. George Pataki, stopped by Sweeney's campaign headquarters Friday afternoon to make a few telephone calls to voters, and to encourage volunteers to stay motivated right up to Tuesday's election.
