Hillary Advisor Busted for DWI in New Hampshire

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

Perhaps 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!

19. 4. 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?

Because politicians consider themselves celebrities these days. And because it's news.

20. I don't know what #2 is talking about. this has been on Drudge for hours.

LOVE IT. Love proof of Hillary's bad judgement. Love that this a-hole is doing 70 in a 30 drunk in New Hampshire and makes decisions pronouncing judgement on others for a living. See the rich and famous in their real skins. I don't care if they're Hollywood or not.

24. What a stellar judge of character Hilary is....and you're damn right #5...as one who has lost a loved one to a drunk driver, I will speak out that he needs to be GONE from any kind of job....let him live on skid row with all the little spoiled brats who think its ok to put people's life in danger so they can get a buzz on. Drunk Drivers shoud be shot on the spot! and if you drive drunk, YOU should be shot too! No tolerance or mercy for drunks!

Reality check...Hill doesn't have a chance and and her crew isn't above the law when it comes to DUI. Jerks! Glad he-she got busted.
