"In her statement, she promised to "accept the consequences of and will take responsibility for my actions." I think the Dims have learned something from Clinton after all.....Admit it and take the consequences.
I bet she gets off light.
When Democrats say they will take responsibility, it never seems to result in their resignation from office. Let's compare her, Chvala, Clinton etal to Livingston, Gingrich and Packwood.

Actually, the headline would have been...
Republican AG Joe Blow Smith caught driving drunk
You see, some people might not know what DUI or (R) is (and it would be bigger, but that's the largest font available in HTML).

You take the job of AG of a state, but you're not prepared to call a cab if you're drunk? If this woman had any shame, she'd resign.
Notice that the article doesn't say anything about the police obtaining a warrant and drawing blood without her consent. She failed a *roadside* breathalyzer test, but that isn't admissible in court. The police can obtain a warrant and draw blood without consent given PC, which might include a failed roadside breathalyzer test. Again, though, no mention of that in this article.
Standard procedure for the WSP, do you think? Or perhaps if an ordinary serf had the wherewithal to refuse a blood/urine/breath test the police might have been more diligent in gathering evidence? And what do you think this Democrat AG would have had her attack dogs say to the judge in court about a citizen who acted as she has?

it's in there in black and white, but you do actually have to read it first (before you comment).Yeap, I noticed it after I posted. That is what I get for reading it right after teaching 30 twelve year olds.

Apparently she is trying to put herself on the fast track for national office with the Democratic Party.
Maybe she thinks this will make her Vice Presidential material for JK.
To: mafree
Had to read 75% of the article to find out she is a DemonCrap. If it was a republican it would have been part of the headline.

They didn't bother mentioning her political affiliation until the 17th paragraph, 4th from the end. We need to archive this article for it's blatant bias!

No, not smart to refuse the breathalyzer. She can get convicted on various tests etc., and yes, the cops CAN forcefully draw blood from you. The best policy is to cooperate fully. You will then get the lightest (most likely) sentence if you have a clean record. Here in Indiana you will receive a mandatory 90 day license suspension or 30 day susp with 180 day "restricted" license, which allows you to go to work ONLY. The refusal implies total guilt and may REQUIRE a full year suspension. Let me tell you a 90 day suspension SUCKS. I can't imagine a full year suspension.

"A Democrat..."First off, out of the (approximately) 255 words this article uses, it took 154 words before the writer revealed the political party this gal's affilitated with.
Since it's well known most people never read beyond the first paragraph of any article it begs the question, is it an accident the word "Democrat" appears 60% into the artcle?
You make that call for yourself Braveman, I've spent too many years studying the mo of the urinalist-creeps, so I know the answer.
"...she is a former state legislator and U.S. attorney appointed by former President Clinton. She was elected the state's first female attorney general in 2002."
HA!!
One of those *gifted* ones selected to fill a vacancy when Clintigula fired every single U.S.Attorney, eh?
So, what were the planks this gal ran on in '02 that landed her in Madtown, anyway?
"Law & Order"? :o)
"An aide said Lautenschlager was not available for comment today."
~& of course the disgusting Liberal-Socialst quisling from the Milwaukee Urinal-Sentenal said, "Oh. Well OK."
Let's have some fun & rewrite that first paragraph & pretend the broad were a Repub, shall we?
"Madison - State Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager, a Republican who enjoyed support from Wisconsin's law enforcement community during the election due to her husband's standing as a retired high ranking law enforcement official, said today that she was arrested for drunken driving in Dodge County while returning to her Fond du Lac home from the Capitol on Monday. Lautenschlager ran on a strict platform of toughening Wisconsin's existing drunk driving laws."
See?
The LIberal-Socialist smear machine game's easy!
...in fact, it's *child's* play. ;^)

""Guns for me and not for thee"Yes, most of them are. She's a ditzy leftist, so I don't really know.
I do know it's illegal to handle firearms while intoxicated. Most other folks would have had their vehicles searched.
Guilty of a Class A misdemeanor if...941.20(1)(b) Operates or goes armed with a firearm while he or she is under the influence of an intoxicant.

I believe he would have been listed as passenger if he had been in the car.
Also, the car was towed. If he had been sober enough to be the responsible party to whom she was released, why wouldn't he have driven? The narrative also states she was driven to Beaver Dam in order to be released to her husband. If he was in the car, why couldn't she have been released where they were? I also believe that the narrative would have mentioned transporting both her and her husband.
They got his info because he was the person she was released to.
To: Chummy
Looking at the incident report it appears she also lied on her drivers license. If she's 135 lbs, I'm Kate Moss!

She supposedly registered at 1.2 but claims she only had a couple glasses of wine.She is a Democrat. By definition, she is a liar.
To: Chummy
what leaps off the screen is that she only says her terrible mistake appears to be driving off the road.
I know many people who have occasionally driven when they shouldn't have (at least one of these people I am VERY close to, and he hasn't done it often or recently - VERY close, mind you) and NONE of them have ever driven a car off the road or gotten into an accident when taking this risk.
She must have done some sobering up before they drew 0.12 from her vein.

Biskupic BUMP. Lautenschlager is just another politician she doesn't care about enforcing laws.
