Married to the moron Chet Culver, son of former US senator and first class jerk, John Culver, I’d be drunk most every week...

Uh, she was drunk, and she was walking. She was not behind any wheel. Really? If I was arrested every time my speech was slurred...

Was she abusive? Did she hurt anyone? Was she driving a vehicle?

No? Leave her alone and arrest Antifa.

I have been to fairs, festivals etc. that had beer tents and beer gardens and the Police would give a wide leeway unless someone is absolutely FUBAR. She had to be beyond tipsy.

I lived in Iowa half my life but I never heard it was illegal to be merely drunk in public.

Sadness in that pretty face. Married to a Democrat, obviously.

Where I live the police will arrest for being falling down drunk on the street. If you are a polite drunk the office will take you to a detox center. If the drunk gives any crap to the office the drunk goes to jail, gets a court date, and pays a fine.

I was going to say no mention of party affiliation. So it was a good bet she is a dimoKKKRAT.

I wonder if the words “Do you know who I am?” were slurred at the police before the arrest.

Hillary may be on the loose, but she is never free (or cheap either).

“will arrest for being falling down drunk on the street”

yup. You are a danger to yourself at that point. Detox awaits.

I once was drunk enough to grab and snap-off a UN flag outside a Korean nightclub because I guess I wanted a UN flag. Being military intelligence I knew the MPs so they just took me back to camp and poured me in bed.

One can only post X amount of the Associated Press. It mentions that she’s a Democrat.

Who cares? Maybe she hadn’t eaten. Maybe she was tired. Maybe she just likes her beer. Doesn’t the law have anything else to worry about?
