I really wouldn't care so much except for their constant attempts to hammer home that they are the one's with all the family values:

Woodlands lawmaker arrested on DUI charge

A Republican congressman from southeast Texas has been arrested and charged with driving under the influence in South Dakota.

A state trooper pulled over U.S. Rep. Kevin Brady, 50, Friday night for a problem with the taillights of his vehicle, Clay County Sheriff Andy Howe said.

Authorities are waiting for results of a blood test to determine Brady's blood-alcohol level at the time of the arrest. It was not immediately clear why authorities suspected Brady had been drinking. The legal limit in South Dakota is 0.08.

"No one is above the law," Brady said in a statement today. "I take full responsibility for my actions, and I am glad law enforcement is doing their job."

It was homecoming weekend at the University of South Dakota, so officers were on the alert for driving violations including manning sobriety checkpoints, Howe said.

Brady, of the Houston suburb of The Woodlands, is a graduate of the University of South Dakota.

If convicted of the misdemeanor charge, Brady faces up to $1,000 fine and a year in jail. A typical penalty for a first offense is $300 to $400, Howe said.

Brady spent Monday and Tuesday in East Texas visiting with residents impacted by Hurricane Rita. The congressman attended town hall-style meetings in Jasper, Newton, Deweyville and Buna on Monday to discuss hurricane recovery. He planned to visit Orange, Vidor, Kountze and Woodville today.

...oh,yea and democrats never do anything unsavory.
This is supposed to be an equal oppurtunity society.....if them democrats can womanize and take kickbacks, then by god us republicans can mess up sometimes too.

that is not what I was saying. I know that there is crap on both sides. What I was pointing out with that very first sentance there is that it amuses me with all the assertion of good christian family values that they throw in our faces that this certain man is a drunk driving, putting families in danger prick.

it would be the equivilant of me constantly preaching about proper ettiquette and not using profanity, then dropping the F-bomb like I do.
