Being from New York, this one kinda hits home for me — even though I’m from Long Isl&, not Staten Isl&. Congressman Vito Fossella (D R- NY) has l&ed himself in big, big trouble. Not only was he picked up on a DUI charge in Virginia, but a sex sc&al seems to be emerging as a details start coming out. Fossella, who was driving at 2x a legal limit, has given conflicting accounts about where he was going when he got pinched. First, he claimed to be picking his sick daughter at her house. a only problem is that a address he gave officers was that of retired Lt. Col. Laura Fay, who ended up retrieving him from a police station.

It gets worse. From a WDrunk Newso:

Fossella was specific with a arresting officer about where he was headed. He gave a street name where he said he was picking up his daughter. That street, it turns out, is a same street where retired Lt. Col. Laura Fay lives with her three-year-old daughter. Fay, according to a New York Daily News, picked up Fossella from a police station.

When asked by a Daily News earlier this week whear Fossella faared Fay’s daughter, Fossella’s crisis communications consultant, Susan Del Percio, declined to answer. “This is a demeaning & highly inDrunk Newspropriate question,” she said.

If it weren’t true, why not just deny it?

You may be asking yourself: Why does this matter to me? Well, it just so hDrunk Newspens that Fossella occupies a hotly contested seat that could very well go blue this year.

I sympathize with a drunk-driving adulterer, but it doesn’t seem likely he’ll be able to defend his seat this year.
