Daily Kos: Alcohol, Drugs, and Politics
This Open Thread, is a continuing piece of the one that was started two Sundays ago - the last one was the Superbowl Edition, at 2pm Pacific. And following that pattern, there will be another one next week Sunday at 2pm Pacific.
The discussion is whatever you want to say (it's an open thread ;)), but the reason it was created is a more specific one! How to get clean & sober - and stay that way.
This is a great place for anyone out there reading Daily Kos Diaries - who might be an Old Timer (a person that has been clean in the programs of Alcoholics Anonymous, or Narcotics Anonymous for a number of years), and others who are not Old Timers, but rather, folks that want an answer to their drinking or drugging problem. A place for those two kinds of people to connect anonymously on-line here and discuss it.

Let's go with a disclaimer first to get a few points across -
DISCLAIMER: Advice, quotes, facts, suggestions, links, etc., in this Diary (and future Group), are just what their title suggests - suggestions/advice. We are NOT doctors (generally speaking). Take everything you see and read with a grain of salt! Look things up for yourself. Check meetings out for yourself. If you want to get sober or get off drugs, AA or NA are a good start, but by no means the only pathway to that goal. Folks get sober and clean in many, many ways. That said, meander on through...

So, let's talk about drunk politicians for a minute. I can recall, in my lifetime, many incidents, often glazed over sugared up (no punishment) of politicians who got a DUI and got themselves in the newspaper over it. Here's one in which the politician uses his power in completely the wrong way.
How about Harry Bostick? (Not a politician himself). A retired (apparently well connected) guy gets a DUI/DWI (different acronyms - in different States), in Mississippi. The prison officials, the parole board, and then Governor Barbour - gave him a pass. Problem is that during this 2-month process to try and get a "pardon" for felony DUI - just a month before they 'pardoned' him, he went driving without his brain again (a month into this "pardon" process), and killed a teenage girl. His charge? DUI. Nothing else.
Considering the fact that the "pardoned" DUI was his third one, tells me there's something wrong in Mississippi Land. This is a perfect example of the saying, "Alcoholics Anonymous isn't for people who need it. It's for people who want it". Governor Barbour claims it's "Christian to give second chances". Unfortunately for 18-year-old Charity Smith, this guy already had his second chance. If Barbour 'pardons' him again, it might be time to point this out to any incumbents who might ever have a chance to become a Democratic Governor.
I guess he can go to meetings in prison.
Here's an article about it.
So, just for fun, today's question will be:
How many politicians can you name that got busted drinking or drugging while driving, or on the job.
