Do As I Say, Not As I Do - #21

Today's GOP Cocksucker:
# 21 REP. TRISH GROE
GOP COCKSUCKER STATE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE ARIZONA 3RD

CLASSIFICATION: Type VI Drunk (The Hypocrite)
OBJECT HIT: Arrested in time.

If anyone illustrates the 'do as I say, not as I do,' mentality of the GOP cocksuckers, it would be hard to top Rep. Trish Groe of the Arizona 3rd.

Groe has a rep for being tough on drunken driving, supporting legislation increasing penalties for drunk drivers and testifying in her church as to the evils of Demon Rum. Then came March 22, 2007, when Groe got stopped by the cops for weaving down a section of Arizona 95 that was posted 55.

Well, all of us have had one too many and been speeding at one time or another but not too many of us did what Groe did next. First she blew a .16 on the Breathalyzer, which in Arizona is nearly twice the legal limit. Then she handed the cop her license...her EXPIRED license. That had been pulled because of an unpaid traffic ticket in California.

Now before you feel too sorry for Groe, keep in mind that this is not her FIRST time at this Rodeo. In 1999, she was tried and convicted of drunk driving. It not like she was some innocent caught at a police checkpoint after the big Homecoming game. Besides, there's that little matter of her being really, really tough on drunken drivers. But she's pretty damned quiet when it's HER turn in trouble.

Amazingly, Groe catches a break. Instead of throwing her ass off the edge of the world, her charge is pled down to a misdemeanor instead of a felony. Groe ends up serving 10 days as a guest of the state. She's glad to do it too. Why is this a break? Well, because if she had been convicted of a felony she would have been thrown out of the legislature. This way, she gets to stay. Did she learn anything from her experience? Dunno. You tell me.

Groe pleads guilty in December. In the next two months, she votes in favor of three bills, all dealing with DUI; HB 2090, HB 2095 and SB 1184. The upshot of all this is had these been in place when Groe had been busted, she would have had to do a month in the slammer instead of 10 days.

Do as I say, not as I do.
