Here in greater New York City state we have one, and only one, Republican in our congressional delegation. His name is Vito Fossella, and he’s a complete tool. We have the fuckwits over on Staten Island to thank for his presence in the House.

If you read this blog, you know that pretty much every Republican gets into trouble at some point. If it’s not one thing it’s another - toe-tapping, hooker-fucking, auto-asphxiating, kid-touching, cocksucking - it’s seldom boring. Vito didn’t manage to get caught fucking someone/something (there’s always tomorrow though - see update below), but he did manage to get a DWI by blowing more than twice the legal limit:

Staten Island Rep. Vito Fossella’s blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit when he was nabbed for drunken driving in Virginia - which may mean he is going to jail.

Fossella begged forgiveness from his family and constituents yesterday but would not say whether he plans to fight the charges.

More after the jump.

Don’t give up - there still might be a sexual angle:

That’s the equivalent, for a 195-pound man like the congressman, of drinking six to 10 glasses of wine or beer over several hours. The legal limit is .08.

Fossella, 43, was cuffed and taken to jail. He was released at 7:39 a.m. into the custody of an Alexandria woman named Laura Fay, court papers say.

Laura Fay? Could be, could be ….

And just in case you weren’t convinced Republicanism breeds true:

He was asked if he might resign.

“No,” he replied. “I fully intend to do my job and do it to the best of my abilities.

Larry Craig, David Vitter, and now Vito. Must be genetic. Wonder if he’ll resign when he heads for the slammer.

UPDATE: More on Laura Fay. Stripper? Hooker? Goumade? Diaperer? Patience fellow Cynics - all will be made clear.
