Congressman McHenry’s aide charged with DWI

Young Republican congressman, Patrick McHenry, must not know too much about hiring quality staff. Either that or his chief of staff needs to supervise his charges more closely.

Another of the congressman’s aides have been charged in negative public behavior. This time, a DWI.

The youngest US congressman needs to excercise better judgment in all aspects of his office — voters don’t tolerate too much these days.
