Clinton adviser Blumenthal accused of DWI
A senior adviser to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was arrested and charged with aggravated drunken driving a day before the New Hampshire primary. The Nashua police say Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime friend and adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton, was arrested early last Monday morning after an officer pulled over a car traveling 70 mph in a 30-mph zone. The police say the driver was 59-year-old Blumenthal, a journalist and former White House adviser to President Bill Clinton now serving as an unpaid senior adviser on Hillary Clinton's campaign. . . . Smelling alcohol, officers said that they administered a field sobriety test, which Blumenthal failed. Although Blumenthal declined to take a Breathalyzer test, he was arrested on a charge of aggravated drunken driving due to the speed, Masella said. Blumenthal was the point man for Slick Willie's Whitewater defense, and earned the nickname "Grassy Knoll" for being quick to attribute Clinton's problems to sinister right-wing conspiracies. No doubt, Karl Rove was behind this somehow. Posted by: Mike 2008-01-14 |
