ID. SENATOR JOHN MCGEE GOES ON DRUNKEN RAMPAGE

CAR-AZY
IF YOUR going to go on a crazy drunken rampage there's no point doing things by halves. 
And boy, did Idaho State Senator John McGee go for it. 
The former 'Republican Legislator of the Year' who recently  supported legislation to outlaw texting and driving, got completely wasted, stole an SUV, crashed it and then went to sleep in it. 
The Senate's youngest member had one too many at a Boise golf course Saturday night before jumping into the Ford Excursion with the 20ft trailer hooked up, which had been left with the keys in. 
Shortly afterwards he tried turning the vehicle and trailer around in a driveway only to jackknife it and become stuck.
At this point the somewhat confused senator got out and went for a little wander before returning to the vehicle and falling asleep.
According to Sgt. Carlos De Leon with Sheriff's Office two children at the home where McGee tried to turn the SUV were watching from a window and the amused youngsters called the cops.  
When deputies arrived, Mr McGee told them on he was heading for Jackpot in Nevada, on the border with Idaho.
A Breathalyzer test showed his blood alcohol content to be .15, nearly twice the Idaho state limit.
He spent Father's Day in jail and will be arraigned Monday afternoon. 
We're fairly sure a Legislator of the Year award won't be on the agenda this year.
