Here Come Da Drunks v.22.0 - #32

#32 CRAIG WESTBERG
COLORADO DISTRICT ATTORNEY

CLASSIFICATION: Type II (Repeat Offender) and Type VII Drunk (MAJOR Hypocrite)
OBJECT HIT: Horse

If any example serves as there being one set of rules for the GOP cocksuckers and another for the rest of us, it would be hard to do better than D.A. Craig Westberg.

One and a half years ago, Westberg gets busted for driving under the influence of sleeping pills and causes an accident. If things are a little sketchy, it's because Westberg wants them that way.

The local paper, the Durango Herald, tries to get a look at the state patrol's and the AG office's records of the arrest and were turned down. So if they make mistakes, well, their reporters couldn't see the records. Westberg, meanwhile, gives his *own* version of events in a letter to the editor to the Herald shortly after the accident.

Michael McLachlan, a Durango attorney, writes an opinion piece, Feb 10 saying that two witnesses to whatever happened have two different stories of the event. When Westberg is asked about it, he claims that a newspaper is not the place to resolve a case such as this; which is a rather odd statement to make considering his letter to the editor four months previously.

This is not Westberg's first time at this particular rodeo either. This represents the THIRD time he's been impaired behind the wheel. The last time he was drunk he hit a fucking horse. He spent 15 days in the slammer for that one.

When you consider that Westberg makes a big deal out of asking for harsh penalties in DUI cases, his position now seems rather weird.
