Nearly six weeks ago, when federal agents intercepted the 79-foot sailboat Sarah Moira heading to the U.S. from Jamaica, they scored a major international drug bust — seizing the boat’s cargo of 4,497 pounds of marijuana and arresting the captain and his crew.

Local police are now revealing that the trail to this $8.1 million pot bust began some 1,500 miles away, in Dartmouth.

The captain of the vessel and the target of a federal probe is 58-year-old James Ormonde Staveley-O’Carroll, a shipbuilder and self-described firebrand liberal, whose daughter, Sarah, is married to Michael K. Matthews, the son of MSNBC "Hardball" host Chris Matthews.

More than a thrill soon to run up more than his leg...


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Using the “iceberg” analogy (10% scene and 90% unseen) this was definitely not the first time this drug trafficer did this. Time to go back over the years and see how much money this drug pusher can account for. No doubt the “silver spoon” is his daughters mouth was bought by this dope peddlers ill-gotten gain. 2 TONS of “gateway” pot. They can flush this stinking turd and throw away the key.

He won't cover it, and no one will ask him about it.
