I have no idea of your gender. But I want you to put yourself in this guy’s shoes for a moment.
‘uh, hi, hon. sorry for the call so late at night, but I need you to call the lawyer for me. I’m down here at the precinct. I got pulled over for drunk driving, I blew .14, so it’s pretty serious. [pause while wife processes and then asks questions] Yea, I was leaving the gay bar Faces after closing time. Yea, I had an unidentified guy in the car with me, but don’t worry about that part of it.’
Put yourself in the wife’s shoes. I’m thinking it’s a Jenny Sanford moment, only worse.
I’m a lady. Yeah, she’d be upset about his DUI. However, just because you don’t know who the guy was doesn’t mean that he didn’t. What if the situation was: ‘Hi Hon. Got a bit of trouble. I know you’re going to be upset. I’m sorry. Steve and I were at Faces. I drank too much and tried to get home, but got pulled over. The media is going to be all over this. I really am sorry.’
Worse....It’s an Arianna Huffington moment.
DON’T DRINK AND DRIVE!!!!
That’s the REAL moral here.
