Senator Frist's son charged with drunken driving.
Repukes really know how to grow those alcoholics!

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's 21-year-old son was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated in Princeton, New Jersey, police said on Thursday.

William Harrison Frist, Jr., a Princeton University sophomore, was stopped early on Wednesday for passing a vehicle improperly and was found to be impaired after he failed a test for balance, Lt. Dennis McManimon of the Princeton borough police said.

He was taken to the station where a breath test showed his blood alcohol level was above 0.10, or above the legal limit. The charge is punishable by a seven-month suspension of Frist's driver's license plus fines, McManimon said.

1. Will we have another republican above the law or will Frist see to it
that his son serve his punishment honorably?

These republicans sure know alot about "personal responsibility".

Oh wait, I am sure it will somehow be Clinton's fault.

2. Yes, Frist's son was traumatized and warped by the Clinton presidency.
Or something equally lame. :eyes:

3. I disagree with going after children
Whether their last names be Clinton, Dean, Bush, or Frist.... their kids are off-limits in my book. Kids make mistakes.

6. Totally agree
The disgusting pig Limbaugh went after Chelsea Clinton when she was 13. We shouldn't be emulating him. Politicians kids and families should be off limits, unless an individual family member injects them self into the public political arena by act or deed.

7. So does that mean when the * twins start campaigning for dad
they're fair game? I'm serious here. These are ADULTS. Not 13 year old kids.

5. Frist is a pig,
but his son is not a valid target. The son has been arrested and has a right to due process.

8. The judge should give him the choice: Jail or Iraq.
