DUI

If you're a regular reader here, you have probably heard the Frankie Coleman, the wife of gubernatorial candidate Michael Coleman, got a DUI last night. She hit a parked truck and then failed both a field sobriety test and a breathalyzer test. I don't want to trivialize drinking and driving, but this isn't a big deal. Public figures get them all the time, and as the wife of the current mayor she is a public figure.

Hell, a US congressman got one a couple of weeks ago, and the top two office holders in this country have three between them. That being said, I'm sure she will be meted out the appropriate punishment and move on with her life. To her credit, she didn't pull any "do you know who I am" crap. She fully cooperated with police.

Overall, this will end up being a non-story with voters when they go to the polls.
