When attending a festival where alcohol (and/or drugs) will be consumed, the decision to not drive under the influence happens long before you get to the festival in what plans are put in place...

Man, what a change from what typical Republicans do.

Taking responsibility and admitting possibly making a mistake. South Dakota - you listening?

Maybe he can check with Kimmie and see what she did to get her ass out of her second DUI with no repercussions.

Well, the 2nd time she was arrested. No alcoholic like her only drinks and drives just twice.

One more and he can be governor

What elected office does Pelosi's husband hold?
