Hillary Advisor Busted for DWI in New Hampshire

Posted Jan 12th 2008 6:03PM by TMZ Staff

Perhaps it was an early celebration? A senior advisor to Hillary Clinton was arrested and charged with aggravated drunken driving on the eve of the New Hampshire primary.

Nashua police say Sidney Blumenthal (seen here in the preppiest mugshot ever) was arrested early Monday morning after his car was pulled over for traveling 70 mph in a 30 mph zone. Officers smelled alcohol and issued Blumenthal a field sobriety test, which he failed. He was then arrested. Since Sidney's car traveled at such a high rate of speed, he was given an aggravated DWI. Now he's got some aggravation!

Blumenthal is a former White House advisor to President Bill Clinton, and is now working for Hillary as an unpaid advisor. He will be arraigned later this month. Note to Hillary: he might not be available for the South Carolina primary!

64. Isn't it funny we didn't hear about this until after they voted. You can bet if instead of Hillary it was one of the guys something big would have been made about this before now!!! NO more Clintons people....they are evil!!! Whoever said the guy worked hard and deserved to have a couple of drinks, so be it....but if he is not smart enough to get a driver he is as dumb as Paris and Lindsey!! And if your child or friend was killed by him you would feel different!!!

69. Anyone here that wants to blame Hillary for this, let me remind you that Laura Bush Killed a person in an accident and George Bush has had TWO DUI's, plus he admitted to doing cocaine for several years as an ADULT. ALSO, his two daughters were BUSTED for underage drinking. SO go ahead and point fingers but point them at the white house as well. Oh yes, The bush family is SUCH a wonderful example of morality!!!!

70. Um, who cares? It's not like it was Hillary who was drinking and driving (I can pretty much guarantee that b/c of the Secret Service/bodyguards and stuff she probably has her own personal driver 24/7) or anything. He's a grown adult. She can't help what decisions he makes or what his actions are or anything. But yet people will try to act like this is somehow Hillary's fault and somehow she's responsible for it. Please! It's sad he was drinking and driving instead of having someone else drive him or getting a cab or some other form of public transportation but ultimately it's not Hillary's fault.
