You know I have been taking some bashing for being on this site, and for my opinions.  Its funny, I have been called a doomer and really don't even know what that means.  Things like that, and the Parker House get lost on individuals like myself that are "new".  Yet, if people are going to dislike me, I would like it to be for good reasons. 

I was outraged when I first heard of this arrest, called a hypocrite and some other wonderful things.  Let me explain my reasoning.  As the former wife of a LEO, an Army wife, a federal ee, and someone who has spent the majority of their adult life in and around legal institutions, you do earn some general knowledge.  Whether you want to or not, if you are paying any attention at all.  For a police officer to handcuff and arrest a person for suspicion of driving under the influence, they better have pretty damn good reason do it.

As a lowly GS-11 who was lucky if I could control my cubby, I was always reminded that while in travel status, I was the face of the federal government.  My actions, my attire, and my attitude, were representative of my office, my agency and my department.  As a military wife, this was also ingrained that we were unofficial ambassadors of the United States on foreign soil, and my behavior would be held to a higher standard.  If a woman of 23 years of age, traveling to a foreign country with a one year old and an infant, can be expected to ALWAYS demonstrate grace and proper social morays in public, I do not see it to be unreasonable to expect the same from elected officials.
