A Drunk Driving Politician First Tried to Blame It on His Wife Because "You Know How Women Drive"

There are SO many reasons this guy's wife is going to be mad at him.

 

 

67-year-old Brian Kolb is a Republican assemblyman in New York.  He was first elected back in 2000.

 

 

And back on New Year's Eve, he was driving drunk and crashed his SUV into an embankment near his house in Victor, New York.

 

 

Then when Triple-A came, his first instinct was . . . to BLAME it on his WIFE.  He told the Triple-A worker, quote, "My wife was driving!  You know how women drive."

 

 

The worker called 911 because the SUV had hit a utility wire.  And when the cops came, they smelled alcohol on Brian's breath.  It turned out his wife wasn't even with him in the car when he crashed.

 

 

His blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit, and he was arrested for driving while intoxicated.

 

 

There's no word on how his wife feels about him trying to pin it on her . . . or his take on women drivers.
