Sidney Blumenthal is one of the famous FOBs - Friends of Bill. He used his closeness to Bill Clinton to take a spin through the revolving door between journalism and politics and join the White House communications team in 1997 after writing articles favourable towards President Clinton.

The journalist, who had written for the New Yorker magazine, the Washington Post, New Republic and Vanity Fair, met the Clintons in the 1980s at a Renaissance Weekend. He became close to them while covering the 1992 presidential campaign. He is as close, if not closer, to Hillary Clinton than her husband.

This is truly incredible.

A senior adviser to Senator Clinton is arrested in New Hampshire just prior to the primary in New Hampshire, and it is not reported until the following weekend?

The Clintons truly have the press in their pocket.

And I do mean the Clintons: I think that Mr. Clinton is simply reprising the very successful tactic that George Wallace took in the 1960s when he ran his wife for governor in Alabama when he wasn't eligible. (If memory serves, there was also a case in Texas of the same sort of thing; checking the net, it appears that it was gubernatorial pair named Ferguson back in 1917.)

This scares me. Seriously. Who made the decision to keep this under wraps for nearly a week? This is a free and vigorous press?

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Good. That is one disgusting Clinton operative.

[RichInOC]

I suppose it’s too much to hope that he provoked the cops to beat the crap out of him first.

[Tijeras_Slim]

This story would have been a lot better if they’d had to Tase him.

[mewzilla]

Bad Swamp Thing!

[longtermmemmory]

refusing was the smart thing to do, however he should have refused the roadside exercises too. (they are legally not tests)

That said, it will be interesting if this dirty tricks opperative will be out of commission.

“he refused to take a breath test”

Sid: “Don’t you know who I am?”

BEFORE the Primary???? That is disgusting!! If this had been a Republican it would be front page news!! Sid Vicious is one of the meanest, nastiest of the Clintons.

[commish]

If Obama were smart he would grabon to this and run -— List a littany of the arrests etc of the Clinton admin, and then talk about the arrest and ask “Do we really want 4 more years of scandal and police blotter reports?”

[Chode]

and the RATS, take another one in the...............HA ha!!!

[Labyrinthos]

A top Clinton adviser faces charges of aggravated driving while intoxicated after city police caught him speeding through Greeley Park a day before the state primary.

12:30 am in a park known for gay hook-ups. Hmm...

[Glenn]

Hope this means she (who shall not be mentioned) loses the MADD vote.

[philetus]

Blumenthal was arrested after completing the test and taken to the police department where he refused to take a breath test”

If I refused to take a breath test, I would automatically lose my license for a year.Will Sid?

Media Covered-Up Hillary Henchman’s DUI

And henchman is a fitting chice of words...

[spunkets]

70 in a 30. That’s very bad.

Here is where the irresponsible jerk was pulled over, just so nobody thinks he was driving one of those deserted roads that people routinely break the speed limit on...this is heavily populated, and near a school.

Jeez...do ya think he was within the distance from the school that if they found any...ahem...drugs on him, that it would be a felony?
