Sis: There’s More To McGee Story

In a lengthy analysis of the DUI/grand theft auto arrest of Senate Majority Caucus Chairman John McGee, R-Caldwell, Sisyphus, of 43rd State Blues urges the media to hold McGee’s feet to the fire as the legal process continues. Writes Sisyphus: “The legal defense will not be impaired provided the fourth estate does a professional job. The court of public opinion can not be satisfied by merely awaiting the trial at which McGee’s presentation will be carefully crafted and which involves only his defense to the criminal charge.” Sisyphus goes on to break down: 1) the logistics of the evening in question; 2) the Good Ol’ Boy network obviously in play; and 3) the culture of alcohol that emanates from the Statehouse.
