Carnahan chief of staff cited for too much revelry
Todd Patterson, chief of staff to U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan, D-St. Louis, apparently engaged in a bit too much celebrating Tuesday night.
Carnahan spokesman Glenn Campbell confirmed tonight that Patterson received a police citation for “publicly relieving himself” as he walked home from a post-election watch party in Washington.
Patterson was given a $25 ticket, accompanied police to the station and paid it, Campbell said. “He’s very embarrassed by it,” Campbell added.
Politico, the Web political publication, is expected to publish something later tonight about Patterson’s unfortunate run-in with the law.

I deleted a post because the writer:
A) Bogusly used the name of a real person, who DEFINITELY was not the writer.
B) Made unsubstantiated assertions of a personal nature that violate the rules for Political Fix and the other P-D blogs.

Okay, then your front yard is open for folks to use as a bathroom?
Really, cut back on the coffee, pee before you leave the pool, and/or find a Del Taco. You said yourself you managed to do the right thing.
Suzy, get a GRIP!!! Nobody said anything about peeing on everybody else’s yard. What about the deer and squirrels, they go where they want to and urine is urine; good for the grass.
Just remember to wear your DEPENDS !
Stop with the personal attacks…SUZY.
Opinions are allowed to be stated…quit jumping all over people who state their opinions.
yea we all need to stop drinking liquids, no swimming, dont get older; and whether he did anything wrong, to clarify, would depend on whether he tried to avoid it being public; I’ll end where I began: in front of the tree, wrong and actionable, behind the tree, not. I dont drink anymore (course I dont drink any less either, yuk yuk), but alcohol makes you go too; should we give that up too suzy? you so silly; and thanks for backup Jess.
ok I’m off like a herd of wild turtles to go back to figuratively tinkling on Republicans; tinkle tinkle tinkle.
I think we should all pee where we want to pee, period.
It’s very natural.
