JOHN SWEENEY/DIANA PALIN 2012

World’s Drunkest Ex-Congressman Arrested Again!

Former Congressman John “Slappy” Sweeney of the famous New York 20th District, who lost his seat in 2006 after beating up his wife and getting wasted at frat parties, got another god damn DWI over the weekend, his second in eighteen months. It is not clear whether he had a local broad on his lap — as he did the last time, when he was pulled over for nearly crashing into a police car. We await more DETAILS. [Times Union]

    Being as he’s a former Republican Congressman, you might also want to clarify if he had a Boy Scout on his lap.

    He is the very model of a modern moron Republican.

    Serolf Divad:
    No foot tapping and/or kid touching, yet. Otherwise, the ideal standard of the 1994 Doofus Revolushun.

    Was he on his way to visit his lobbyist love child, or was he on his way home from stalking a teenage boy?

    It’s nice he’s hangin’ with Semi-Happy Blak Guy.

    If this keeps up, he’s going to find himself in a garish sweater vest, being interviewed by Tyra Banks. Some people just have to hit bottom before they get help, though.

  9. I’ll bet he got all liquored up to fill out some fake absentee(or miliary) ballots in the special election.

    At least he waited until 3:30 in the morning to get caught speeding while drunk. Far fewer targets at that hour, except for……..police cars! What a douchebag. Doesn’t he know by the time you’re 53 your idea of fun is supposed to be to drive golf carts while drunk, not cars?

    obviously on the way to a NAMBLA meeting wherein they sort out who gets to whack Andy Cuomo.

  12. DagNabbit says at 11:18 am, April 6th, 2009

    So what do Andy Samberg, Will Ferrell and Tim Meadows have to do with this?

  13. CivicHoliday says at 11:26 am, April 6th, 2009

    Is he like the frat boy equivalent to ‘house mother’? If so, I hope those poor boys keep their doors locked at night.

  14. ProfessorJukes says at 11:35 am, April 6th, 2009

    DagNabbit: That’s not Tim Meadows, it’s Tracy Morgan. Don’t worry - common caucasoid mistake.

    All that’s missing from this pic is the cardboard cutout of Lindsey Graham being molested by a beer bottle.

    Recount!

    LNS - Class of ‘88.

    As Chevy Chase once said about Cary Grant, rudely and with no basis in fact, “I heard he’s a homo.”

  19. Scandalabra says at 7:23 pm, April 6th, 2009

    Kirsten Gillebrand beat this twat in the 20th, because she was a gun-nut borderline Republican, and he chose whores and wife-beating as the final closing arguments of his campaign. Amazingly, the doucehbag lost. Then they ship Gillebrand off to be the next Hillary/Moynahan/Bobby Kennedy. District returns to its wife-beating, deer-hunting, DUI-getting ways. That guv has got VISION.

    My guess is that Kirsten Gillebrand will be waiting tables at the Red Dot in Hudson, NY in two years, Andrew Cuomo will be our governor, and The Lady Bunny will be Junior Senator.

    I wonder if he’s the congressman an acquaintance met at a titty bar/whorehouse in Bangkok.

    Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
