Sidney Blumenthal, an unpaid senior adviser to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign, was arrested the day before the New Hampshire primary in Nashua, N.H., on a charge of drunken driving, according to the police. ...Blumenthal was a top aide to Bill Clinton during his presidency, advising him on relations with the news media and policy matters. The police in Nashua said he was arrested early the morning of Jan. 7.
“Mr. Blumenthal’s vehicle was seen traveling at a high rate of speed through our city streets,” said Sgt. Dennis Linehan of the Nashua police. After failing sobriety tests, the police said, Mr. Blumenthal was arrested and released on bail later that morning.
He faces arraignment in Nashua District Court on Jan. 31 on the charge of “aggravated driving while intoxicated,” which was applied because Mr. Blumenthal was driving at more than 20 miles per hour over the posted speed limit, the police said.
The Clinton campaign confirmed that he was an adviser and but would not comment.

I’ll bet that Matt Drudge is dancing the Happy Dance.
This is one of the best weekends ever!
Remember, this is the guy who made “false statements,” that is, lied, when he was deposed in the procedures leading up to Clinton’s impeachment trial, in that mess involving Christopher Hitchens, so Hitchens is probably tap dancing, too.
“I’ll bet that Matt Drudge is dancing the Happy Dance.”
Pardon my ignorance but why?
Oh, thats right. To be a Senator for life somebody must die. Got it.
Sid Viscious once sued Drudge over a false report that he (Sid) was a wife-beater. It was a classic intimidation lawsuit - after running up Drudge’s legal bills Sid dropped the suit.
Karma’s a Hillary.
Anything that will make this a-hole’s life a living hell will make my day. He is one of the sorriest people to draw a breath. Have an awful day Sidney!!!!
Back during his Lewinksy heyday, Drudge ran a story about Syd beating his wife and it turned into a defamation law suit. Of all the old guard Clintonistas, Drudge hates Blumenthal more than anyone.
Drunkenly. I'd pay good money to see that.
I thought yesterday they said he was doing 70 in a 30Mph zone
And it wouldn’t have taken 5 days for the n.y.times to print it if it was any republican.
If I ever woke up, looked in the mirror and had to say to myself, “Great Caesar’s Ghost! I’ve been in bed with a succubus! Well, I’d go out and get drunk as well.
Yea! If the alleged falsehood is actually true it is wise to drop it.
a big Times HaHa!!! 
If anyone who cares about the Times as a business wants to know why this formerly loyal reader of more than 40 years never looks at the paper anymore, he doesn't need to look beyond how the Times handles stories such as this. I would be stupid to be looking toward the Times to deliver the news to me.
