Bottoms Up!


By the way, some in the DFL seem to have taken their beating very hard. This from the AP wire tonight:

Minn. Senate president arrested on DWI charge 5/22/2007 11:27:05 PM Associated Press


ST. PAUL -- James Metzen, the president of the Minnesota Senate, faces drunken driving charges from his arrest early Tuesday in South St. Paul just hours after he gaveled the 2007 session to a close.


South St. Paul Police Chief Michael Messerich said Metzen was stopped in his sport-utility vehicle just past 2 a.m. after an officer observed him weaving in his lane. The stop occurred less than a mile from his house. He was given a field sobriety test and was arrested.


His blood-alcohol concentration was 0.15 percent, almost twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent. He faces two misdemeanor charges, including fourth-degree driving while impaired. The case was referred to the city attorney for formal charges.
