To think Wisconsin instead could have been served by Vince Biskupic.

Here's "Peg's" response to DOJ (notably not to the citizens of Wisconsin):

AG Lautenschlager: Open Letter to DOJ Employees
2/24/2004

For Immediate Release
For More Information Contact:
Brian Rieselman 608/266-7876

The Following Statement was released to all employees of the Wisconsin Department of Justice today:

I am sorry to tell you that I made a terrible mistake last night. While driving home, I fell asleep and drove off the road, and was subsequently cited for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

I wish to apologize to each and every one of you for the negative impact my actions might have on the Department and the public's perception of this fine institution. I am extremely embarrassed about this and know that I have disappointed many people who have put their faith in me.

I wish to thank the officers of the Dodge County Sheriff's Department for their professionalism in handling this matter. I accept the consequences of and will take responsibility for my actions.

- Peg

..and to take a look at the Incident Report:

"...fell asleep and drove off the road,"
Passed out

Who was the second occupant, William Ripple?

Also notice the tag number was left blank. Since when do cops write "Draft" police reports?

..and if one reads "Peg's" "Open Letter to DOJ Employees", what leaps off the screen is that she only says her terrible mistake appears to be driving off the road.

Compare it carefully with what the IR says, the testing the Dodge County officers performed, the professionalism they appear to have displayed in determining "Peg's" condition before placing her under arrest for OWI.

The IR also notes "Peg" requested to contact her lawyer before deciding to submit to an evidentiary chemical test of her blood.

It took this Deputy to inform Wisconsin's Top Cop that she was not entitled to a lawyer at that time because it's "...an implied consent issue."

She still refused.

Looking at the incident report it appears she also lied on her drivers license. If she's 135 lbs, I'm Kate Moss!
