(Newser) – John Kerry supports daughter Alexandra after her recent DUI arrest, he says in a statement, adding that she was originally pulled over for expired registration and was released after a breathalyzer test found she was under the legal limit. But a police officer tells People Alexandra was stopped “for a DUI investigation,” and TMZ points out that she also failed the field sobriety test. Her hearing is Dec. 10, but sources maintain she most likely won't be charged.

Get a damned grip you old biddy prohibitionist. This pisses the hell out of me. She had no accident, wasn't driving wrecklessly, pulled over for an expired registration. If everyone had to not drive after *one* drink to possibly SAVE THE BABIES!!!! then why not just go and shut down every pub and restaurant in America, you damned loon? Sheesh, beg, borrow or steal a brain cell, will you? Or move to South Carolina so we can quarantine you puritans.

Dems have no morals or standards so there is no fall from grace. Everything they do, corrupt, legal or illegal, is somehow justified.
