Drunken Driving Charge for Clinton Aide {Sidney Blumenthal}
New York Times ^ | January 13, 2008 | SARAH WHEATON

Posted on 01/13/2008 8:13:29 AM PST by 3AngelaD

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 assume, of course, that after Mrs. Clinton is done crying, she will terminate this bozo from any relationship with her staff and announce a policy of firing immediately anyone who refuses cooperation with the police. Where is MADD?

The only reason they reported it AT ALL was that it turned up in a Newsweek blog and then the MSM could no longer ignore it. As near as I can tell, the Wash Post never printed it at all, they just posted the AP story on their website.

Oh, well. Time to send him back to England again to put a little distance between Sid and Hill until this blows over.

Now he’ll have to roll over one more time.

Blumenthal, pictured in the below Nashua Police Department mug shot, showed signs of intoxication, a cop gave him a field sobriety test, which the Clinton operative failed. Blumenthal, who declined to take a Breathalyzer test, was booked into the Nashua lockup on an aggravated DWI charge. The misdemeanor rap is considered "aggravated" because Blumenthal was speeding when his vehicle was stopped at 12:30 AM Monday. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Nashua District Court on January 31.

Don't be fooled my FRiends. This is just stagecraft to make Sid look less like a girly man so he can be Hillary's Secretary of Defense!

I sure hope so. I can scarcely think of a more despicable p.o.s. than Blumenthal. I will NEVER forget the image of that sick scumbag standing on the courthouse steps and totally fabricating what had gone on inside during his grand jury testimony in the Starr investigation.
