Florida Representative, Trey Radel - a freshman Congressman
Well, like Rob Ford from Toronto, Florida Tea Party Rep Trey Radel says he's sorry he was busted buying/using cocaine.
And, like Ford, he attributed the blame to his alcohol addiction.
Unlike Ford, Radel's been charged with a crime and he says he'll be going to rehab. He will appear tomorrow in District of Columbia Superior Court to face a misdemeanor charge for "unlawfully, knowingly and intentionally" possessing "a quantity of cocaine."
The charge carries a maximum of 180 days in prison and/or a fine of $1,000, according to the U.S. attorney's office.
Maybe the answer to those of us who frequently ask, "are they high?!" in relation to Congress's actions, is a literal "yes!". We sure do elect a lot of alcoholics and substance abusers into office.
