Welcome to Another Week of Crazy

Welcome to another week of crazy. This headline kicks it off: Republican Sponsor Of Bill To Require Drug Testing For Georgia Welfare Recipients Arrested For DUI.
Got that? A holier than thou Republican gets busted for the very thing he accuses others of doing:
A Georgia Republican [Rep. Kip Smith] who wants all welfare recipients subject to drug tests failed one himself after he ran a red light on Friday morning.
[...]
Smith told the officer he’d had the beer 45 minutes earlier, and the officer asked him to blow into a hand-held “intoximeter”. The officer said the lawmaker refused, stating he would prefer to go to a clinic or the hospital to get tested.
The officer said Smith finally agreed to blow into the device. The report stated that Smith blew a .091., which is above the legal limit of .08.
Smith is a sponsor of Georgia House Bill 464, which would “require random drug testing” for citizens on public assistance.
I’m thinking Kip Smith should concentrate on random drug testing himself.

Throw the bum off welfare. But give him an award for dramatic irony. No never mind the award, he’d probably rather have a bottle of something.
