Hillary Advisor Busted for DWI in New Hampshire

Posted Jan 12th 2008 6:03PM by TMZ Staff

Sidney BlumenthalPerhaps it was an early celebration? A senior advisor to Hillary Clinton was arrested and charged with aggravated drunken driving on the eve of the New Hampshire primary.

Nashua police say Sidney Blumenthal (seen here in the preppiest mugshot ever) was arrested early Monday morning after his car was pulled over for traveling 70 mph in a 30 mph zone. Officers smelled alcohol and issued Blumenthal a field sobriety test, which he failed. He was then arrested. Since Sidney's car traveled at such a high rate of speed, he was given an aggravated DWI. Now he's got some aggravation!

Blumenthal is a former White House advisor to President Bill Clinton, and is now working for Hillary as an unpaid advisor. He will be arraigned later this month. Note to Hillary: he might not be available for the South Carolina primary!

3. Scandal SURROUNDS the Clintons and here we go again! Does anyone want FOUR YEARS of them again? Why doesn't Hillary tell us how she made all that money in the commodities/stock market if she wants everyone to be so prosperous? She really got away with insider trading and belongs in prison. Martha Stewart did nothing compared to what Hillary Clinton has.

4. This is pretty funny. Blumenthal is a longtime Clinton adviser who zealously defended them during the Clinton White House years. He's the same guy that when some Arkansas State Troopers accused Bill of extramarital affairs while he was governor, Blumenthal accused the troopers of attempted fraud, marital infidelity and drunken driving,

What goes around, comes around, I guess.

7. Oh jesus christ. Who cares, TMZ? What does this have to do with ANYTHING? This isn't even relevant news, let alone relevant ENTERTAINMENT news. Slow day, huh?

And to "nothing but scandal" - what the hell are you even talking about? If you want scandals that count, why don't you look to the 8-years-of-hell monkey man who's been destroying this country one day at a time? Pinning this to the Clintons is a reach. How pathetic of you, lame brain.

14. TMZ, at the beginning of the section where we enter comments it says "Please keep your comments relevant to this blog entry."

Okay, then how about you keep your stories relevant to Hollywood news?
