Sheesh!  You go out of town on vacation and things just start poppin’ like illegal fireworks inside the city limits.

Hapless Mike “Squeaker” Krusee got busted for drunk driving by the Highway Patrol.  The Statesman was nice enough to print a copy of his mugshot and KEYE TV posted the Trooper’s complaint so we can all rejoice vicariously enjoy experience his misfortune. 

Krusee was busted about 10 o’clock last Wednesday night, just hours after Governor Perry didn’t appoint him to the Texas Transportation Commission.  Talk about drowning your sorrows….

We can only surmise that Krusee may have thought his State Official license plates were some sort of license to drive drunk.  Who knows, maybe they were…at least until they expired last year.  Can you say dumber than dirt? 

Krusee lawyer’ed up and refused a breath test and didn’t submit to a blood test.  According to the complaint, he was stinkin’ drunk, but without the tests we’ll never know exactly how stinkin’ drunk he was.  Of course, like most drunk drivers, he claimed he only had “one glass of wine”.  Yeah, yeah, we know that’s lame ass drunk talk, but it sure must have been some awfully stout wine for one glass to make him bleary-eyed drunk.  Either that, or the poor schmuck just can’t hold his liquor.   

No wonder he used to be speaker Craddick’s former BFF. Talk about a cheap vote. 

Thank God for DPS Trooper Michael Scheffler (and all the Troopers and Police Officers just like him) who are willing to do their sworn duty to protect citizens of Texas, no matter what.  We don’t know how many innocent lives Scheffler saved by stopping Krusee when he did and arresting him.  We do know that, thanks to him, there was one less drunk driver careening down the road last Wednesday night.

We also know he probably saved Krusee’s life last Wednesday.  Whether it was worth it or not remains to be seen.
