The Free-Lance Star has reported that in addition to yesterday's DUI charge against Frawley (see earlier posts), the incident that sent Frawley to Fairfax Hospital until yesterday morning was a car accident where he was driving and ended up upside down. He's been charged with DUI for that incident, too. UMW has put Frawley on paid leave.

For what it's worth, I've sent a tip to wonkette.com about all this, adding the stuff about Gingrich.

I know I'm biased and there are probably plenty of decent, even if ignorant or naive, people who may have chosen a big name like Gingrich. And I know if an exorbitant fee really were paid to Gingrich, some opponent at UMW would have publicized it.

Nevertheless, UMW's acting leadership has a tremendous opportunity to exploit Frawley's problems by undoing Frawley's poor decision to book Gingrich for commencement.  ¶ 6:12 PM
