Maybe we should give all congressmen/women footballs and basketballs and let the sports athletes run congress? At least then, we'd have the referee's blowing whistles on fouls!

Interesting concept, too bad it's just not true.
84 out of 535 were arrested for drunk driving in the last 12 months?

You may be right...
This story was drawn from a series of of articles that appeared in the on-line publication "Capitol Hill Blue" back in 1999. The series ("Congress: America's Criminal Class") included lengthy articles about four specific members of Congress and a finale detailing Congress' "long tradition of corruption and ambivalence."
Some of our Congressional Representatives certainly have less than stellar personal records, but many of them are in fact dedicated, honest, hardworking public servants.
Texas Congressman Ron Paul is an Excellent example!!!

Drunken Driving by Members of Congress Not Prosecuted
It appears that dozens of members of Congress each and every year escape DWI/DUI arrests by invoking their congressional privilege of immunity (Article one, Section 6). The privilege was originally provided over 200 years ago to protect members of Congress from politically-motivated arrests made in an effort to prevent then from voting or otherwise performing their official duties.
The privilege of immunity serves no useful purpose today and is an affront to law-abiding citizens. There are many pressures that could be applied to discourage it outrageous misuse. For example, the use of the privilege by a senator or representative from a state could be used to lower that state’s score used by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in calculating the state's annual "grade." However, the problem is being completely ignored by everyone and the travesty continues.
Here's an interesting website too!
