This weekend, Republican Virginia congressman Tom Garrett announced he would not seek reelection for his seat over charges that he and his wife misused his staff members to run personal errands.

But that’s not why he he’s throwing in the towel. He says he dropped out because he’s an alcoholic.

Garrett spent the weekend being a Drama Hog, which is really saying something in the age of Donald Trump. First, he was going to resign, and then he was not gonna run again, and then – screw it all – he was going to seek reelection after all.

I think he finally settled on not running again. But, it’s only Tuesday so that can change.

Garrett is a member of the House Freedom Caucus.  Yeah, those guys. He’s also pretty much a jerk.

He faced heavy criticism in the wake of last August’s Charlottesville white supremacist rally when a picture surfaced on Facebook of him and one of the event’s organizers, Jason Kessler.

Being an alcoholic makes you order around your staff, have them walk your dog, and send them out to get your groceries?

Look, I wish this guy all the luck in the world, and I hope he gets sober. But getting sober doesn’t mean that you won’t be a sumbitch. All it means is that you’ll be a sober sumbitch. I dunno, being a sober sumbitch is even worse, because then you don’t have an excuse.
