Would someone please check and make sure George W. Bush is still married?
Posted by Jill | 6:06 AM
After all, we all know that Teh Gayz are a threat to marriage, and one of Bush's judicial appointees has resigned after being arrested for a DUI while, shall we say, dressed to kill:

A Boston-based federal judge was found guilty yesterday of driving drunk on Elm Street last week after striking a plea deal with the city that enabled him to avoid trial.

U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Robert Somma, 63, pleaded no contest in Manchester District Court to a misdemeanor first-offense driving while intoxicated charge. Under the plea deal, Somma agreed to a 12-month license suspension, which could be reduced to six months if he successfully completes an alcohol awareness program, according to court records. He also paid $600 in fines and penalties.

Somma's Mercedes-Benz E320 sedan hit a pick-up truck from behind about 11:29 p.m. on Feb. 6, the police report said. No one was hurt.

Somma, who lives in Newbury, Mass., fumbled in his purse for his driver's license before handing it to the officer who later arrested him, the police report shows.

"He had a difficult time locating his license in his purse. He passed over it multiple times before removing it," officer Paul J. Thompson wrote in his report.

The officer offered no other details with regard to the judge's attire or accessories. Nor would representatives of the Manchester Police Department or the city solicitor's office, which worked out the negotiated plea agreement with Somma's lawyer, John J. Cronin III of Bennington. Somma initially was set to be arraigned on the charges Feb. 25.

"I won't comment on the attire, either," said Gregory T. Muller, an attorney with the city solicitor's office.

Somma told police he had been at the Breezeway Pub where he had one gin and tonic about two hours earlier, the police report reveals. He later said he drank two gin and tonics.

The Breezeway Pub, at 14 Pearl St., bills itself as "New Hampshire's favorite gay and alternative bar," according to its web site.


Trish at Pensito Review adds more details:

But lots of other people did offer those details, of which Audrey Hepburn would have been proud.

When authorities removed him from the vehicle, they said he wore a black women’s cocktail dress, fishnet stockings and high heels.

Well, I hope she was wearing the good fishnets, the ones with the satin soles and toe tips. They're very comfortable and there's less chance of them twisting around. I just hate when the little threads get caught between my toes. Then I'm just cranky all night!
