" (Optional Musical Accompaniment To This Post) Okay, poor bastard congresscritter gets busted for cocaine and becomes yet another casualty of our silly &amp;quot;war&amp;quot; on drugs. The traditional abject grovelling ensues. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m profoundly sorry to let down my family, particularly my wife and son, and the people of Southwest Florida,&amp;quot; Radel said. &amp;quot;I struggle with the disease of alcoholism, and this led to an extremely irresponsible choice. As the father of a young son and a husband to a loving wife, I need to get help so I can be a better man for both of them.&amp;quot; Radel continued: &amp;quot;... This unfortunate event does have a positive side. It offers me an opportunity to seek treatment and counseling. I know I have a problem and will do whatever is necessary to overcome it, hopefully setting an example for others struggling with this disease.&amp;quot; Okay, so far, go with god, congressman. Best of luck in your struggle. Except, yeah, you know what&amp;#039;s coming, right? Well, Rep. Radel was one of many House Republicans who voted for a bill that would allow states to require all recipients of welfare to be drug tested prior to receiving benefits. On second thought, to hell with it. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
