"...The issue emerged during Walz’s successful 2006 campaign for Congress in Minnesota’s First District. In one of the few available articles on the incident, Walz’s campaign manager told the Rochester Post Bulletin he was “not drunk” and “attributed the misunderstanding to Walz’s deafness,” an issue Walz said was caused by his time in the National Guard that has since been “surgically corrected..."

The more I find out about this jackass, the more I dislike him, and that is getting hard to do.

I would have marginally more respect for him if he said "Yes. I was intoxicated at the time. It was a terrible and irresponsible thing to have done, and I am grateful I didn't kill or injure anyone. I learned my lesson from it."

But he didn't. Boy, does that grate on me he used his military service as an excuse. If I hear of a vet with PTSD who drove drunk, I am inclined to be sympathetic, and hope he figures things out.

With someone like Walz, it is nothing of the sort.
