Idaho State Sen. John McGee arrested for drunken driving, grand theft

"State Sen. John McGee, R-Caldwell, was arrested overnight by Ada County Sheriff's deputies for misdemeanor drunken driving and felony grand theft."

(snip)

"McGee began drinking at a golf course at about 10 p.m. Saturday night. At some point, McGee left the clubhouse on foot and walked for a distance, eventually coming upon a parked Ford Excursion with a 20-foot travel trailer near the Muir Woods Subdivision in Southeast Boise.

The keys were in the vehicle and McGee drove away about 2:20 a.m. Sunday. McGee pulled the vehicle into a long driveway in the subdivision near Overland and Victory roads and Five Mile Road, in an attempt to turn around. The Excursion and travel trailer were jack-knifed in the home's yard."

McGee is frequently mentioned as candidate for governor. He is the chairman of the Canyon County GOP.

1. The grand theft part probably screwed this guy's chances at continued office...

but here in Idaho, we have public officials, and their close family members, getting hauled in for DWI on a regular basis. Last month they busted the wife of the Oldtown mayor (Oldtown's on the Washington state line about 30 miles straight across from Sandpoint) for DWI and hit-and-run. Why she had to drink and drive I have no idea; Oldtown is about five blocks long and if there are 200 people there it's because two families have overnight guests.

3. Maybe he can get elected before he gets convicted

and pardon himself.


When you vote idiots and criminals into office to represent you, don't be surprised when they act like idiots and criminals.

The Teabaggers just don't understand that.

18. Remember, though- these are the people who see Orwell's 1984 as a MANUAL.

You and I might think it's funny. This guy will probably see it as sound advice...

4. He may have perfected the Hitler stare. But his judgment has much to be desired.

Man, what a story. Golf, drunkenness, grand auto theft, jackknifed trailer, being a Republican.

5. On the OTHER hand, he didn't have any photos of his penis.

So, I guess the GOP will rally behind him.

6. Another "family values" republican who should have been home with his nice family.

8. If he was a democrat he'd have to resign...

10. Chairman of the Regional Substance Abuse Authority Legislative Committee?

Drunk? Grand theft? Convinces me more than ever our country has been taken over
and run by criminals.

[RKP5637]

11. I guess they wanted someone experienced. Yep, taken over and run by criminals pretty

much sums it up as to what's going on ...

12. A Roman toga party was held . . from which we have received 2 dozen reports of individual acts of

perversion..SO profound and disgusting..that decorum prohibits listing them here.

These are the charges as recorded this day..November 22,1962.

Faithfully submitted..Douglas C. Neidermeyer

15. The Republican motto: "What's mine is mine--what's yours is

mine, too, if I can get my hands on it and no one seems to be watching."
