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

[macquire]

I have to laugh. Some media are reporting that Mr. Staveley-O'Carroll is a "distant relative" of Chris Matthews. For GOSH SAKES the guy is the FATHER of the bride of Chris Matthews SON!

I wonder if that tingle in Chris Matthews’ leg was actually withdrawal?

[macquire]

I am betting that Mr. Matthews has been guest on that same boat a number of times.

[screaminsunshine]

Cool he is a smuggler.

[hoosiermama]

OMG ROFLOL ....plus and tingling leg! The truth will out.

“James Ormonde Staveley-O’Carroll”

It is bad enough when women use hypenated names. This guy must be “special”.

[ColdOne]

That explains the tingle!

[macquire]

Want to bet his claim to fame as a shipbuilder involves building fast boats to run drugs..

[truthguy]

I knew others would beat me to it but I bet that sent a tingle up Matthews leg. I wonder if Matthews knew anything about the guy. My guess is that he did but didn't want to know. Maybe? But I'm not saying but just speculating.

No question Matthews has been around with the guy charged.

The charged guy is the father of Chris’s son’s wife!

They would have entertained at each other’s house, perhaps gone on family outings with them, been guests on the boat itself, etc. etc.

MSNBC made a big deal of the drug arrest of Sarah Palin's daughter's... boyfriend's... mother. (Phew-say that 5 times fast)

If Chrissy Mathews child is MARRIED to the daughter of a drug smuggler-then its fair game.

[macquire]

Nice boat....

Wonder how many times Chris Matthews has been a guest on that boat.

Chris Matthews’ in-law charged in plot to smuggle drugs

Looks like his "in-law" is an outlaw.

[maine yankee]

Can we now refer to chris mathews as;

......GILIGAN

[Sarah Barracuda]

No No, you must have forgotten, only Conservatives are held to those standards, when a liberal or a liberal’s relative does something naughty its no big thing..but when a Conservative has someone in the family or some distant relative do something wrong its national news. Kinda like Larry King, dude screwed his wife’s sister, nah no big deal, he is still considered a national treasure even though he’s a scumbag..so yeah, liberals, biggest hypocrites on the planet

[Calvin Locke]

You would think Chrissy would step up and take responsibility, saying
the pot was for his personal use as a treatment for his malaria.
