THE REST OF THE STORY. Media
Log is on vacation, and will not officially be back until August 30
... maybe a little earlier, depending on what I want to say about the
Republican National Convention.
But I can't resist asking why the
Globe couldn't manage to report that state rep Paul Kujawski
has been accused of staggering out of his car and taking a leak in
front of state troopers after he was pulled over on the Mass Pike on
suspicion of drunk driving.
For crying out loud, I heard this
particular detail yesterday afternoon. (And no, I didn't get it from listening to Howie Carr.) The Herald's Ann Donlan
has
it today, writing that
Kujawski "got even deeper in trouble after urinating in front of the
troopers who stopped him." But the Globe's Elise Castelli,
after reporting
that Kujawski had been charged with drunk driving, disorderly
conduct, and "open and gross lewdness," goes on to write: "The police
declined to comment on what transpired after Kujawski's car was
pulled over."
Far from doing Kujawski any favors,
the Globe makes it sound like he exposed himself to a busload
of kindergarten students or something.

Wait a minute! I've drank with Rep. Kujawski. He's a happy drunk. He's not a mean drunk. It's not like he urinated on a State Cop. He's just training to be The next distiguished Senator from Massachusetts.
