The anti-Breslin forces wasted no time in capitalizing on today’s TU report that the senator admitted to drinking the night he was pulled over by the State Police and given a field sobriety test (which he passed).

A reader who lives in the suburbs of Albany wrote in to say he had received a robocall from an anonymous woman that referenced the Oct. 19 incident. (A commentor said she got it, too). I don’t have a recording, but here’s the script:

“As a mother of three children I have worked tirelessly to rid our roads of drunk drivers. Last week Senator Breslin was pulled over for suspicion of drunk driving. He later released a statement saying he was not drinking and had passed a field sobriety test.”

“Now, as reported by the Albany Times Union today he has admitted to having drank wine at a number of political events. Senator Breslin has repeatedly refused to answer any questions about what happened that night and has now publicly lied about the incident.”

“On Election Day let’s show Senator Breslin that we are tired of politics as usual.”
