Joe has many friends and loyal supporters in Moore County. We believe in him, and fully support his efforts to tackle his issues with alcohol. Joe has a bright future. We haven't seen or heard the last of him.

What cyber giggling? Are you posting an objection here to comments on another forum?

Not sure the cyber giggling...

Sorry Joe, but Rep. Boylan's DUI pales in comparison to the crimes of Wright and other NC democrats, several of them imprisoned.

With sincere respect for Mr. Sinsenheimer's concern for the Institution, Mr. Holmes is correct in pointing out that no ethics complaint has been filed against Rep. Boylan with regard to anything, and as to the earlier gossip, Rep. Cotham expressed a proper resentment at being drawn into an old intra-Republican Party struggle.

There were rumors about the “real reason” beyond those medical reasons cited at the time Rep. Boylan fainted on the House Floor and there were ridiculous whispers spread around at nearly the same time of his have shown “inappropriate attentions” to a House page last summer; a page who turned out to have been his daughter, around whose shoulders he dared drape his arm in a public restaurant. O, Scandal!

Was there any similar concern for the Institution when another Representative was charged with DUI a few weeks ago?

No, and that’s because whispers and gossip are not the same as formal complaints and nor is the transitory focus of the moment by some on unfounded charges, looking like mere opportunism than any of the true and dignified nature of Mr. Sinsenheimer’s public attentions upon former Speaker and fellow Democrat Jim Black.

Mr. Sinsenheimer is either showing partisan colors or he needs to catch up on the news. His declarations from Vancouver appear uncharacteristically under-researched.

Boylan groped and grabbed.
Boylan lied about it.
Boylan got caught.

I read that Pilot story three times and I'm still not sure what it said.

Bottomline, this bunch needs to stay out of steakhouses.
