Pants Off

This probably explains why Erin Kiernan wasn't anchoring the news Friday.

OWI CHARGE: Michael Kiernan Arrested

It had to be difficult for her friend, Sonya Heitshusen, to read the story as she did at 5.

The police report says Kiernan was not wearing pants, but was instead wearing boxer shorts at the time he was pulled over.

According to the arresting officer, “I asked him where his pants were at, and he replied he was just going to get tacos”.

It should have come as no surprise, after all Michael Kiernan is First Vice-Chair of the Iowa Democratic Party.

Heavy emphasis on the VICE and the scientific community is united in that fact.

You never heard of this type of behavior when he was Party Chair.

Kiernan's blood alcohol content was found to be .126, which is above the legal limit of 0.08 for drivers, but would only admit to drinking two 12-ounce bottles of Miller Lite beer and one glass of wine 2-3 hours earlier.

Kiernan also told police he took hydrocodone within the previous 24-hour period.

Don't look for Kiernan to do any My Town, My Taco John's commercials.
