Former Ambassador Arrested for Hit & Run
A former US Ambassador to Afghanistan, dubbed "America's Lawrence of Arabia" was arrested in his hometown of Spokane, Washington for drunk driving and leaving the scene of an accident. Ryan Crocker was arrested August 14th after an eyewitness took down his plate number and reported Ryan hitting a tractor-trailer with his 2009 Mustang while making an illegal right turn across two lanes of traffic. Crocker registered 0.16 on his first blood alcohol test. He resigned his Kabul post for health reasons. He came out of retirement in 2011 to take the Afghanistan job at the personal request of the Obamanation. Another Obama nominee, Timothy Broas, was removed from consideration for the Netherlands ambassadorship {"lousy ambassadors"} following his arrest for drunk driving and resisting arrest. Seems to US Person the Obamanation is running out of smooth stones.
