The Daily Snivel

This morning's Democrat-Gazette had this one nailed down.

Congressional candidate Mickey “Stubby” Stumbaugh of Cabot was suspended seven times for a total of 33 days without pay during his 15-year stint at the Little Rock Police Department, department records show.

Stumbaugh was suspended for offenses that included making “inappropriate comments” during a telephone call to a radio station while he was on duty and responding to a call for police assistance, to being intoxicated in public when he was working off duty as a security officer, according to documents in Stumbaugh’s personnel file.


And the coveted Snivel of the Day goes to (drum roll please) ...

Clint Reed of Little Rock, executive director of the state Republican Party, said it’s a shame that “the politics of personal destruction has started in this race.”

Comments:
This information is old and doesn't seem to have that much of an impact. I've made many "inappropriate comments" in the past and have also been known to have a drink or two then got a phone call or had to go take care of something I wasn't expecting to when I sat down to drink.
If that is the worst that they can come up with for this candidate, I think he has it in the bag! I'm not saying that any of that was "ok", but it's sure not that bad. Plus, he was actually man enough to stand up to what he did and not use the "but I didn't inhale" cowardly coverup.
