Apparently you are never too old to have a "Frat Boyz" moment.
Maybe "Fat, Drunk, and Stupid" IS a way to get through life after all.
...Union College’s newspaper, The Concordiensis (affectionately known around campus as “The Concordy“) reports on its front page today that U.S. Rep. John Sweeney, R-Clifton Park, attended a registered, on-campus frat party on April 22.
[...]
I also spoke to John Tomlin, who wrote story. Tomlin described Sweeney in print as “acting openly intoxicated.” He told me the congressman was “very loud and cursing,” and also slurring his words while trying to discuss policy with the students.
...And I really love this example of How NOT to do "damage control".
Union College President James Underwood told the paper that just because Sweeney appeared drunk to the students (who, of course, have no experience in identifying someone under the influence) doesn’t mean he was.
Silliness aside, I am glad this was not a Sig Ep party he attended. Thanks to the wonderful communications medium called the internet "No matter where you go, There you are".
