Late this past May in Napa County, Paul Pelosi, aka Mr. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was arrested and charged with drunk driving. He seemed to take it pretty well. Maybe that’s because he knew that he’d ultimately have nothing to worry about.
He was right about that, FYI.
Paul Pelosi, the husband of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, pleaded guilty Tuesday to misdemeanor driving under the influence charges. He was sentenced to five days in jail and three years of probation. https://t.co/wdQz8wbbk7

Wow. Five whole days in jail?!
Well, sorta. Not really. Not actually five whole days. Not even four whole days. Not even three whole days. Or two. Just one day. One eight-hour day. In a court work program.
Paul Pelosi already served two days in jail and received conduct credit for two other days, Napa County Superior Court Judge Joseph Solga said.
He will work eight hours in the court’s work program in lieu of the remaining day. https://t.co/qJn5DA8JH0

As part of his probation, Paul Pelosi will also be required to attend a three-month drinking driver class, and install an ignition interlock device, where the driver has to provide a breath sample before the engine will start. He will also have to pay nearly $7,000 in fines, the judge said.
$7000 in fines? Given his and his wife’s collective net worth of over $100 million — plus all the money they’ve made from insider trading — we’re pretty sure he’ll be able to scrape $7000 together without too much trouble.
Two-tiered justice system…. https://t.co/xKmfQsyZZx
