John Kerry’s Daughter in DUI Bust

November 19, 2009 By democratis 36 Comments

Nope, she wasn't the designated driver for Senator Anthony “Drunk as a Skunk” Galluccio, instead Alexandra Kerry herself, the daughter of the Massachusetts Senior United States Senator, was busted for driving under the influence in Los Angeles, CA early this morning.

For more information read the story from the Boston Herald and Boston Globe which broke the news:

        What’s the difference between Alex Kerry and Galluccio.  Both of these people live in the public spotlight and by getting behind the wheel last night, Kerry’s daughter risked the lives of other people.

          Between the two people, that is.

              One is an elected official with a prior record who left the scene of an accident in which there was a serious injury, hours after being driven home because he was too drunk to drive.  The other did not fail a breathalyzer test.

          Gossip site TMZ.com reported that her blood-alcohol level was .06, just below the .08 legal limit. Prosecutors can still go after drivers below that level if they are operating erratically, the site reports.

          <

          p>Every news report I’ve seen says she was arrested on “suspicion of DUI” not DUI.

          <

          p>Additional questions:  Did she resist arrest or cause a public disturbance?  Does she live at home?  Is she an adult? Is she running for political office?

          Find a place where I mentioned the progeny of Bush or Palin.  People are at best marginally responsible for the actions of their adult children.

              …but the only people so far who have mentioned and engaged in “attacking” politicians’ children are conservatives.  Really, is this the best that’s left for your folks?

          p>Galluccio had multiple DUIs and is a politician.  He also left the scene of an accident to avoid a breathalyzer. Alex Kerry cooperated fully.  And, as you conveniently left out, was well below the limit.

            How about Joe Biden’s Motorcade getting into three car crashes in the last week.  In one of these crashes, a pedestrian was killed by the VP’s motorcade.  If Gallucio wasn’t Joe’s driver maybe it was Alex Kerry.

              It was only “Joe Biden’s motorcade” in the sense that the cars are in a pool reserved for Joe.

              <

              p>

              A pedestrian was struck by two Secret Service employees driving vehicles that were designated for Biden’s use. Biden was not in either vehicle at the time of the crash.

              <

              p>In the second crash, it was the NYPD , not Joe Biden’s motorcade:

              <

              p>

              “At 1730 hours (2230 GMT) an advance element comprised of three police cars, lights and sirens operating, was traveling west on West 49th Street when the second of the three struck a Lincoln Town Car,” New York Police Department Lieutenant Mike Wysokowski told AFP.

              “It was not the vice president’s motorcade,” the officer stressed, noting that the police were running Biden’s route “several minutes before the actual motorcade.”

              <

              p>In the third incident, it was a woman trying to pass the motorcade  who hit someone:

              <

              p>

              The vice president was in Albuquerque, N.M. to help Democratic candidates when a woman drove around two police vehicles who were blocking an intersection for the vice president’s motorcade.

              The woman struck the car of a sheriff’s deputy, who was rushed to a hospital for evaluation.

              One account of the story is here.

              <

              p>Joe Biden was not in any of the vehicles, it had nothing to do with him. The President and Vice President need motorcades with extensive Secret Service and police protection. This means that accidents will and do happen. During a Democratic administration, they will happen for whoever the Democratic Vice President or President happens to be.

              <

              p>From this piece we learn of the following other accidents involving presidential motorcades:

              1 DEATH  — Aug. 27, 2007: Rio Rancho, N.M., police officer Germaine F. Casey, 40, died while escorting President George W. Bush’s motorcade from a political fund-raiser back to Albuquerque airport. The back wheel of Casey’s motorcycle began to slide, causing the bike to hit a curb, then a tree, throwing the officer 20 feet into the air. An ambulance in the president’s motorcade stopped to provide assistance, as did a member of the White House medical staff. Casey was taken to University of New Mexico Hospital, where he died.

              1 DEATH ,  2   INJURIES —  Nov. 26, 2006: Honolulu police officer Steve Favela died five days after his motorcycle collided with two others at Hickam Air Force Base. Favela was escorting President Bush’s motorcade to a breakfast with troops on Nov. 21. The other officers involved in the crash were treated and released.

              1 INJURY — Feb. 3, 2006: Bernalillo, N.M., Sgt. Jerry Nixon was injured when he lost control of his motorcycle while escorting President Bush’s motorcade on Interstate 40 near Albuquerque. Nixon suffered cuts, bruises and a broken nose, and was hospitalized overnight at University of New Mexico Hospital.

              1 INJURY —  Sept. 24, 2004: A Philadelphia Police Dept. Highway Patrol officer swerved to avoid debris in the road and fell from the motorcycle, suffering abrasions and an injury to his left arm. He was escorting presidential candidate John Kerry’s motorcade to an event at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. The officer, who was not identified, was hospitalized overnight for observation and released.

              1 INJURY —  July 26, 2004: Brevard County Sheriff’s deputy Eric Daddow lost control of his motorcycle and crashed while escorting presidential candidate John Kerry’s motorcade to Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla. Daddow was taken to Holmes Regional Medical Center with bruising and severe road rash.

              1 INJURY —  Aug. 31, 2000: A Seattle police officer lost control of her motorcycle and crashed, breaking her ankle, while preparing to escort Vice President Al Gore’s motorcade back to Boeing Field from Westlake Center where he was attending a presidential campaign event. Gore was not in the motorcade at the time.

              1 INJURY —  March 3, 2000: A San Jose, Calif., police officer was involved in an accident on Highway 101 while escorting President Clinton’s motorcade on a visit to Silicon Valley. The officer was treated for a leg injury at a local hospital.

              2 INJURIES (two separate accidents) —  Feb. 18, 1995: Two Florida motorcycle officers were injured in two separate accidents while escorting Vice President Al Gore’s motorcade to events in Boca Raton, Fla. In the first accident, Florida Highway Patrol Sgt. M. Gusman suffered minor injuries when his motorcycle was hit on Interstate 95 by a Lincoln Town Car that left the accident scene. Later that day, Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy Mitch Reiger was injured when he crashed his motorcycle on Dixie Highway while escorting Gore’s motorcade out of the city.

              2 INJURIES —  Nov. 19, 1993: Two motorcycle officers were injured in a crash in downtown Seattle involving three motorcycles that were escorting then-President Bill Clinton to his hotel. The officers injured were with the King County Police and Seattle Police Department, but the names of the officers were not released.

              1 DEATH —  March 6, 1992: Florida Deputy Sheriff Kevin D. Mathews was killed when his motorcycle collided with a limousine while escorting presidential candidate Paul Tsongas from a campaign event in Palm Beach.

              1 INJURY —  April 30, 1983: A Houston Police Officer suffered minor injuries when his motorcycle collided with another officer’s while escorting President Ronald Reagan into the city from the airport. Officer Ralph Gonzales was taken to the hospital, and Officer Harold Prothero escaped injury.

              went after Sarah Palin for her hypocrisy when she talked about her daughter’s “choice” to keep the baby.

              <

              p>Palin is also subject to criticism for parading her family on stage, including the father of her bastard grandchild, who will not be invited to Thanksgiving notwithstanding Sarah Palin’s happy talk about the issue on the Oprah show.

                  was questioning how the evangelical right, who were among Palin’s biggest supporters, would react. The fact is it is amazing how much they were willing to overlook or even turn ino a virtue.

                  <

                  p>The fact is that no one on the left was going to vote for Palin – because she was very right wing. I think there is some transference going on here – the right preferred to blame the left for attacking Palin on this, when in fact it was their own concern that it was a problem.

              As even Palin says, the McCain campaign made the announcement that she was pregnant and Sarah and Todd were happy that she had decided to carry the baby. It immediately became a “My daughter and I are living our values” moment, with SP speaking of not aborting a Down Syndrome baby and BP having a baby at 17.

              <

              p>The fact is they dared the left to say anything, waiting to say we were hypocritical because we didn’t (per them) condemn having a baby out of wedlock.

              <

              p>The fact is that a Democrat with a pregnant 17 year old – especially if she were a mother, would have had a much rougher time than Palin had.

So there was a tweet from Senator Warren that the #MBTA mess is on the Governor. She's not wrong, but it is incomplete. You can debate the pie slice, but you cannot exclude the Legislature on this, where the culture of kicking cans down the road, prevails. #mapoli
