GA state Rep. Tom Taylor busted for DUI

[left-of-center2012]

Video surfaced on Tuesday showing Georgia Republican state Rep. Tom Taylor’s arrest on April 7 for driving under the influence.
The 54-year-old lawmaker falsely claimed that he was not intoxicated, that he had not been drinking on the day of his arrest and that the open container of alcohol in his lap was “probably from yesterday.”

... he then told the officers that he had some wine the night before and was probably just hung over.
Taylor’s blood alcohol was .225 — nearly three times the legal limit

At the time of his arrest – which took place at 2:45 in the afternoon – Taylor was wearing a gun on his hip and driving with four children in the car. He was pulled over by police for driving at 72 miles per hour in a zone marked 45.

Taylor is currently running for re-election to represent Atlanta’s affluent Dunwoody neighborhood.

1. that should be more than DUI

You can not carry a gun and be intoxicated so thats another charge or at least a reason to revoke his right to carry. 0.225 is so high its probably also child endangerment since he had kids in the car.

4. I know this guy

Well, I have met him before. He is a typical politician - full of shit, out for himself.

I expect he will lose his office over this. But I also expect he will be replaced by someone just as bad. Few democrats in that district.
