So either you're admitting texting while driving, or you're admitting something far more salacious ...

I think alcoholics do a lot of shit unintended when sober. Everything from buying coke to blowing paychecks on hookers or casino and waking up monday going wtf did I do. As an aside this is really true with drunk driving. They lose the ability to think correctly I think. |

And plenty of people do that sober. For most of us, we don't think we're too fucked up to drive. If we did, we wouldn't. |

I simply know people I could see this happening to. I do think a lot of people use it as some sort of bs excuse and I don't give a shit about this congressman. There.

For you I'm gonna go with choice B Your intial post is dbaging his excuse making. Posts following yours justified his excuse. If this was a random D Congressman there would have been 3 pages demanding his immediate resignation before midnight. If you deny that then you really don't follow this board very closely. |
