Freshman House member popped for coke

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/...1_story_1.html

Wonder if he'll resign? He plead guilty to buying coke at Dupont Circle.

I predict justice will be tempered with mercy. He may even get re-elected, if he apologizes well. Maybe he can cry.

Or he can allege the sheep cartel set him up...
