Kansas Republicans---This Is Your Leader?

Yes, a question for all Kansas Republicans. Are you aware that your State Majority Leader, Gene Suellentrop, was arrested last week for --drunk driving --driving the wrong way on the highway for TEN MINUTES --speeding, going 90 MILES AN HOUR --dodging police roadblocks --also dodging tire deflation devices the police had put out for him --causing a vehicle accident --also causing property damage and finally --fleeing the police?

Did you know all that? And this is your LEADER?? Really?? Because it really seems like he has great judgment. Right?

Gene Suellentrop---and Republicans, really. Making Wichita and Kansas so very proud.

You got a DUI? In Westport? On St. Pat's?

You gotta' be kidding me.

Westport checkpoint leads to 41 DUI arrests

Kansas City authorities arrested 41 persons suspected of driving under the influence of alcohol during a sobriety checkpoint held last night outside of Westport.

More than 800 vehicles were stopped during the checkpoint held between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. at 39th Street and Southwest Trafficway.

And you didn't maybe see that coming?

I'm sorry but you have to be some kinda' stupid to get picked up drunk driving in Westport, Kansas City, Missouri on St. Patrick's Day.

DUI checkpoints this weekend: there's a shocker, huh?

I see today, at the Kansas City Star website, where the Overland Park police are going to hold a "DUI saturation patrol this weekend" and the "Kansas City police plan to conduct a sobriety checkpoint this weekend." Okay, question: First, could they stop announcing these? Really, anymore, don't we all pretty much assume they're going to do this every weekend anyway, for starters? Then, secondly, the people who are out there drinking and driving, are they really effected, one way or another, by these announcements? Finally, don't we actually want a bit of surprise on this anyway, so more are caught and more people are spared any car wrecks? So when you put these factors together, doesn't it make the weekly release of this information just repetitive and unnecessary on the police department's part and the printing of them, on the Star's part? Isn't it pretty much pointless, shallow and predictable?
