Why Don't You Learn to Control Yourself First, Sidney?

Blumenthal, an unpaid senior adviser to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, was arrested in Nashua on the eve of the New Hampshire primary and charged with aggravated DWI, according two members of the Nashua police force.
Aggravated drunk driving? Isn't that an issue of self control?

And naturally this control freak directs his energies outward:
The "promising idea" identified by Blumenthal involved filing massive product liability and negligence lawsuits against major handgun makers, "the opening salvo in a campaign against the gun industry by an alliance of anti-tobacco attorneys and local governments," wrote The Los Angeles Times. According to one of the lawyers involved in the lawsuits: "We are going to do to [the gun industry] what we did to tobacco. It's going to be a very large war."
And
Mr Blumenthal said: ''We will be advocating a whole new set of gun laws.

''It's clear that while there are many other causes behind this tragedy, the availability of guns is key. If we can limit the availability of guns, we can limit the number of these horrific incidents.''
Control yourself, Sidney. Leave us the hell alone.

Shouldn't he now be pursuing a campaign of suing car manufacturers. Did they not know they were building cars they would be used by irresponsible criminals to commit crime? Do they not share in the dealers guilt when the automobile in question was sold to whomever it was that passed the possession of that vehicle to a maniac willing to put the public at fatal risk?

Go get 'em Sydney.
