Georgia Republican who supported drug testing for welfare recipients gets second DUI

[Cali_Democrat]

Georgia state House Rep. Chuck Sims (R-Amrbose) was arrested last week and charged with Driving Under the Influence, his second such arrest in the last three years. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday that Sims was arrested and taken into custody shortly before midnight on April 2.

Sims was arrested for DUI in 2010 by Atlanta police. He is among the state lawmakers who voted in favor of House Bill 861, which mandated drug testing for all Georgians seeking public assistance funding.

3. Make all the GA legislators pee in a cup!

They're on the government dole. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

If they want to make that bed, let them sleep in it.

Enough metaphor mixing. You get the message.

4. If he's a recidivist, he's been driving drunk more than just two times.

Do the Georgia LEOs never give special consideration to politicans?

How many times has he been driving while drunk and not arrested?

5. One of the tenents drunks live by

is to complain loudly about "druggies" and "bums", so as to deflect attention from whatever shady s#$t they are up to right now.

7. And we see it on a mass level, in this country. Alcoholism has always been far more socially

acceptable than other forms of addiction.

6. And that, I believe, is what you call poetic justice...
