Not "Driving Under the Influence," but "Boating Under the Influence." That's what happens when country club politicians drink and play in their powerboats. Maryland Delegate Don Dwyer (R-Anne Arundel County), was charged last month with operating a vehicle while under the influence.
His drinking and boating were discovered when his boat was apparently hit by another boat - Dwyer does not appear to be the cause of the accident or the resulting injuries to others when his boat sank. But getting soaked - and not with water - as a boat captain is against the law. The story is here and here. Check out this YouTube video showing what can happen.
It's Dwyer's later comments that cause further eye brow raising. He said that state legislators who voted for Maryland's same-sex marriage bill forced him to drink. That story is here.
He was recently removed from the House Judiciary Committee where he had been a member for the last eleven years.
