Judge John A. Connor

No offense to our proud Irish-American FReepers, but here's indication #1 that the judge might be inclined towards a tipple.

I definitely am going to have myself evaluated. What I do from there, I guess, depends on the evaluation.

Let me save you the evaluation fee - you're an alcoholic!

I'm going to do the best I can to figure out what the appropriate thing is for me to do.''

Uh, quit drinking maybe?

Connor has said he doesn't recall past arrests.

The blackout excuse is not necessarily the best defense to a DUI charge.

He said he hadn't had anything to drink, but then admitted to having had six or seven beers.

He later explained that he wasn't lying. For him, six or seven beers isn't "anything"!

When Connor was asked to stand on one foot, he twice fell backward.

"Hey, I'm just driving my car, not auditioning for a role in Swan Lake!"

Connor failed twice in his attempt to recite the alphabet.

True, but he was able to sing the "Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one" song in a perfect Irish tenor!

"Way hey ey, to go, Ohio"

A Franklin County judge who has been arrested eight times -- most recently Sunday while on vacation in Florida -- says two drunken-driving charges in three years are forcing him to evaluate whether he has a drinking problem.

I dunno, whaddaya think?

[dogbyte12]

He should be removed from the bench for poor judgement. It is not just that he is an alcoholic, it's that after being arrested 7 times, he decided to go out and drink, then drive. Poor judgement, extremely poor. He doesn't have the temperment to sit in judgement of others.

He said that the charges were reduced to reckless operation three times and in one case he was acquitted.

The concept of justice is lost on these people.

[Pilsner]

JUDGE: Sir, you have been found guilty of DUI, and I sentence you 30 days in jail for that, plus another thirty days for never buying a round. (hic)

In related news, Judge Connor indicated that if he does step down from the bench, he would intend to make himself available to serve as Senate Majority Leader.
