Hillary Advisor Busted for DWI in New Hampshire

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

Sidney BlumenthalPerhaps 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!

123. Beginning to find the Clintons increasingly irritating. They would have never set foot in the Whitehouse in the 90's had it not been for the African American vote. African Americans stood by him when he had few friends in Washington -- even within his own party. I recall that Jesse Jackson was the one who ‘ministered’ to Clinton after he was caught lying in the ‘Monica’ affair.

Now that Hillary is being given a little competition for the first time in her career, they are truly playing a racist card -- NOT A RACE CARD, BUT A RACIST CARD!

How do you explain Hillary statement on who deserved the credit for the civil rights laws? How do you explain Bill's statement that Obama is a 'fairy tale and a kid'? And, what blew me away, how can you explain Cuomo's statement regarding Obama's campaign on January 11??

What did the Clinton operative have in mind when he (Cuomo) made the following statement? Everything the Clintons do is scripted. Why is it that Hillary, Bill and now Cuomo making such 'slips of the tongue -- all after Hilliary being whipped in Iowa?? Note the following:

125. REPUBLICANS ARE HATEFULLY DISGUSTING. HIPOCRITES, LIARS LIKE THEIR ROLE MODEL GEORGE BUSH!

126. BILL CLINTON WAS A GREAT PRESIDENT, LEFT THE COUNTRY WITH A BIG SURPLUS, -NO A MONSTRUOUS DEFICIT LIKE BRAINLESS BUSH.

It would be great to have a strong, smart, persistant WOMAN like Hillary for president who will have her GENIOUS husband as a friend and counselor. PEACE MAKER TO THE WORLD.!

Once you had the best don't want any less!

127. What a smug, smiling and 'cat that swallowed the canary' booking photo. What a weird bunch of Clinton camp advisers and strange campaign strategy. Hillary's fake crying does not fool me at all--probably the best campaign ploy though so far. Her Obama bashing back fired on her. I think I will consider moving to Canada if I have to see 4 years more of the Clinton's in the White House. May heaven help us all.

128. No nonnie, I have friends in Canada, although I agree every Republican should leave the country, not Canada though. It will take 16 years for Democrates to have a chance of fixing the mess we will be left to clean up.

130. The first of many scandals for Mrs. Clinton, I'm sure!!! I'm all for a woman being elected President, but NOT this one! It seems that she, her family, her advisors, etc... have no morals, values, or common sense! Now really... who would allow their husband to disgrace an entire nation by having an affair with a girl who was barely of legal age - and still stand by him??? She is not someone that I have any respect for after that!!!

133. It's wrong he did this but, come one -- Obama admits in his book that he abused coke -- a lot, and GW Bush is and was a drunk and used coke.

134. I propose adding his photo to the dictionary under the word, effete.

135. funny. if this had been Barack Obama's advisor the first and second pages wouldve been flooded with "this is why we cant have a black president" comments. It sure is funny to see how the bigots and "middle american" thinkers work.
