I don’t care if Mike McGavick got a DUI, got a divorce, or even feels guilty for laying off more Safeco employee’s than intended.  I have been through a divorce and a DUI (haven’t had the opportunity to lay a bunch of folks off yet) and I can tell you it sucks.  But this is life and I didn’t, or ever will, look for sympathy for screwing up my marriage or drinking and driving.  So why is McGavick’s press release so important?  Well, only if you want to get out in front of something that is going to bite you in the ass you do it before your detractors do.  That is nice and all but it really says something about McGavick… and this loudmouth blogger doesn’t care. 

A civil campaign has been promised from him.  No partisan bicker… right?  Well I gotta tell you.  These things are common knowledge.  The divorce and DUI are nothing but useful fodder but not really major news.  For McGavick to claim to expose this before his opposition does is a ploy because frankly, we didn’t care.  Isn’t it enough that his position on major issues ranging from his position on the recent minimum wage bill to his alliance with big oil enough to sweep him aside this November?  We have bigger things to deal with than your drinking habits and marital problems.

Good luck with all that Mike!
