Mon 02/06/2006 -
27 News has learned Governor Jim Doyle's son, Augustus "Gus" Doyle, was arrested on a charge of first offense drunken driving during the early morning hours of Feb. 5.
Fitchburg Police Lieutenant Chad Brecklin told 27 News, a passing motorist called authorities with concerns over a man in another car. Brecklin told 27 News that man was Doyle, 30, and that the car, a 1998 Buick Century was on Fish Hatchery Road at County Highway M.
A source with knowledge of this investigation told 27 News, Doyle refused to submit to a test for blood alcohol when it was requested by responding officers. Brecklin refused comment on the testing.
Brecklin told 27 News Doyle was driving without a valid license and the car involved was not registered to the younger Doyle.
Brecklin told 27 News Doyle was released to a responsible party at 6:25 A.M.
Doyle is Governor Doyle's oldest son and a former Madison schools worker. Doyle was also a member of Madison West High School's 1992 State Champion basketball team.

Wow. First his Attorney General (Peg "The Keg" Lautenschlager) and now his son. Our governor surrounds himself with "winners!"
(He was arrested on the road I live on. However, I was not the one that called it in.)

Hmmmmm. The headline doesn't scream REPUBLICAN, so I assume that he isn't.

Isn't Buick Ted Kennedy's vehicle of choice when driving drunk?

His bio states that he's the first Democrat governor in 16 years.

Diana once again you bring us the trash that is our Rat governor and the rest of his minions.
Thanks for the update on One Term Jim, he is a slime ball and I see the nut did not fall to far from the tree.

Life in the fishbowl. This man should be aware that with his famous father any mistake will make the news. Glad I didn't have to live under that scrutiny when I was a young man. I'm sure I would have caused a lot of headaches for my dad.

The "young man" is 30. He should know how to behave by now, surely.

"His bio states that he's the first Democrat governor in 16 years."
And we're working on him being our last! We wouldn't even be stuck with him, but President Bush pulled Governor Tommy Thompson (R) to be his HHSD in his first term, and Doyle swept in (he was our Attorney General) with big old bags of cash from teachers, unions and Indian gaming.
The Dims in Wisconsin were appoplectic over Algore losing to President Bush, so Doyle was our punishment.
And punish us, he has. November 2006 can't come fast enough for many of us in Wisconsin.

I agree with you. By age 30 you would think most of us would have grown enough that we stopped such self destructive anti-social behavior. Some of us are later bloomers than others. I confess to being a late bloomer and am not proud of some of the mistakes I have made.
I hope to continue to grow and move forward, and I hope this Doyle fellow also takes a serious inventory of his priorities and straightens out his life.

"Concealed weapon??"
Now, wouldn't THAT be the cherry on the sundae if they were to find a little something in the glovebox of that car...that's not registered to him...and he was just borrowing it...and maybe he was just holding for someone else...
Oh, man. I wish I were a fly on the wall at the Capitol today!

Drunken driving and no valid license...sounds about right for the governor of our fair state who feels we should not have to show photo id's to vote. If his son does not need a valid license to drive while drunk, how can anyone expect a bogus voter to show an id on election day?
