From KCCI 8:


"The Pawlenty for President Exploratory Committee today acknowledged that a 24-year-old employee, Ben Foster, was arrested on public intoxication and trespassing charges at approximately 3:30 a.m. by the Johnston (Iowa) Police Department.

"Foster issued the following statement: 'Last night, I made a very serious mistake. I take full responsibility for my actions. I want to apologize to all affected by my poor judgment. I especially apologize to the people who were disturbed during the incident and the arresting officers. I give my word that it will never happen again.'

Thoughts?

Nothing political -- just the sort of stupidity that "liquid kryptonite" can do to someone.

Well unless he's a genious, he should be fired. Yeah it's nothing, but the media can and will use it if Pawlenty rises up and this guy is a staffer by his side

He made a stupid choice, and should be fired.  But it won't (and rightfully shouldn't) affect Pawlenty or his campaign.

Oh boy...

"Placed on two weeks unpaid suspension and expected to face the legal consequences of his actions" according to the campaign.

Good thing he didn't shoot someone; they might've suspended him for a whole month.

This guy better be able to spin political gold out of flax or have a very, very rich daddy to justify not getting canned outright.

but did he carve a backwards 'B' on his face?
