Legislator with DUI record attacks blogosphere for "lack of responsibility"
Nashville Posth/t Instapundit Representative Rob Briley [(of the Tennessee state legislature)] criticizes the press and bloggers cautioning that if media doesnt act responsibly they will be denied access to information.  Rep. Briley, of course, was the subject of quite a few barrels of ink and webspace after getting clipped for DUI after a hit and run. Following his arrest, Briley gave the name of a lobbyist as his next of kin. Later, it was reported by the Nashville Scene that Briley and the lobbyist were having an affair.Guess Rep. Briley's party affiliation. (Answer here.) A fellow legislator who blogs had this to say: It was almost hilarious when the first bill after the speech was a bill increasing the penalty on people who leave the scene of an accident.
