No excuses for Ted's irresponsible drinking and it's tragic consequences, but he didn't just "leave and not report it". He was boozed up and had a concussion from the accident, meaning he was completely blacked out and had no idea what happened until the next morning when one of his staffers told him.

So if someone Drunkingly drove off a bridge with your mother, fled leaving her to die and doesnt report it that to you is much better than sexual harassment? Really?

You say drunk drivers don't plan ahead of time? Wrong

Drunk drivers never drink and drive once. They usually do it again and again if not caught. It's not getting caught that gives them the confidence to do it on the day they cause harm. Just because they never intended to cause harm with their drink driving doesn't mean they didn't intend to drink drive.

When a person causes death with careless excessive speed the intention doesn't make it better. If a child is run over outside of a school by a drunk driver driving at 100mph does his mistake make it any better? If no one sees him and he leaves the child lying on the ground and goes home will the fact he didn't intend to harm a child that morning take away from the fact he is an ass?

By the way alchohol is not an excuse. Everyone in the western world has been extensively educated to give someone your car keys or don't drive to the bar before you drink your first drop. If you start drinking while having your car keys on you or not organising how you will get home, you obviously intend to drive under the influence

Ps. Getting drunk is not an excuse to sexually abuse women. Anyone who has that little control should obviously not be drinking.

I take it this was not the first time your buddy drank.so how comes he hasn't touched women's butts before? Or has he? If the 'alcohol' made him do it like you suggest, then what is he capable of EVERYTIME HE DRINKS?

A quick google check of 30secs shows ur account of what happened is not true

Interviews of people who saw him early the next morning support this -- he was acting completely normal until a staffer came up to him and whispered in his ear, after which he looked shocked and left in a hurry. Any statements he made later were all about political spin, meaning he wasn't about to say: "I was shitfaced and blacked out so I don't remember what happened."

None of this absolves him from drunk driving and causing the death of someone else.

Don't be so sure. I seem to recall a first time Presidential hopeful named George W. Bush having a history of alcohol abuse and a terrible interview where he didn't know anything about several foreign countries.

True enough, although... Geo W had a lot of money and influence and name recognition behind him...

Yes, but precisely because we're smart, we'll never run

It's one of the great ironies of politics--those least qualified are the ones that run (and often win), while those most qualified will either have nothing to do with it, or are never recognized for it.
