And yeah, he looked drunk to me, too.
So we have an elected representative drunk while he's at work, who also assaults people.

EDIT: I thought it was battery, but I looked up the DC statutes and they don't separate assault and battery, they just have an all inclusive "assault", so I was wrong.
by the way, voluntary intoxication is only a defense when there is a very specific intent required for the crime; battery (or assault) isn't one of them.
