The wife of Indiana’s Republican Senator Richard Lugar, Charlene Lugar, was arrested and charged on an alleged drunken hit and run, and a car collision. The Associated Press reports that Charlene Lugar is accused by police of a DUI and “a hit-and-run after hitting a parked car in northern Virginia.”
The news station, CBS, reported the story with the following headline: “Loaded Lugar: Seantor’s Wife, Charlene Lugar, Charged for Drunken Hit-and-Run,” an example of the type of media coverage that has Senator’s Lugar’s office reeling; the repercussions of this type of story can be devastating to a political career.
The Fairfax County, Virginia County Police have Mrs. Lugar’s mug shot, and report that Senator Lugar’s office released the following public statement earlier this week: “At about 6:30 p.m. last evening, November 18th, Mrs. Lugar had a traffic accident in our McLean, Virginia neighborhood. A charge has been filed and a court appearance is scheduled for January. No other persons were in her car or the unattended car she hit. Thankfully, no one was injured. We are deeply sorry and embarrassed that this accident has occurred.” The Senator’s wife, Charlene Lugar is 72; her court appearance is scheduled for January 8, 2010 in Fairfax County General District Court.
This will be interesting. Most politicians and family get away with stuff (Ted Kennedy did), but Va courts are known for eating their young.
Remember the actions of these people who are in office. Remember them on election day. Our nation and our people deserve better.
You can’t blame her for drinking….. can you imagine being married to one of these republican slugs. Vitter is their hero and Enign is still part of the club of hypocrites.
RJ it could be worse if she was married to a dem he would have been drunker and pimping her on the corner.
