He seems nice.

The only surprise here is that he is stepping down from leadership, though not actually leaving office.

It’s a republican tradition to blame the wife for your malfeasance, Duncan Hunter, Bob McDonnell of Virginia, and now this @$$hole… but again is not that these men turned into POSs overnight, they had always been and the wives had been supporting and enabling them.

I think there’s a typo. Should be Brian “Knob”.

On Friday, Kolb announced that he was stepping down as the State Assembly’s minority leader.

Whenever I read of a “Republican Minority Leader” I feel happy, but, considering the party’s racial make up, confused.

Odds are the Wife stays with him. But this is the GOP playbook- ALWAYS blame someone else. ALWAYS, no matter who. NEVER admit wrongdoing.

You just know, when you read a headline about some bozo doing something totally wackadoodle like this, that somewhere in the first line there will be either “Florida man” or “GOP”…or both.

With Kolb looking like that in his arrest photo, who served him 4-5 cocktails? Shouldn’t a case of beer cause how he looked?
I’m not much of drinker anymore, but when I hear cocktails I imagine happy hour, and he’s dressed as schlub.

The buck stops… with his wife.

Never changes with the GOP.

Ironically, he had written an op-ed on the dangers of drunk driving a week before his arrest.

I think it’s quite admirable that he personally tested the premise of his op-ed.

Next op-ed, the premise of which he has already tested: “The dangers of blaming your wife for your own fuck-ups.”

I’m waiting for a “man bites dog” story about a Republican. You know, one where he takes responsibility for screwing up.

I know you shouldn’t judge people by how they look, but he may have a wee bit of a consumption problem.
