When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade
Well, we had plenty of fun with this guy this morning!! Jersey City, New Jersey Councilman Steve Lipsky was relatively unknown up until a couple of days ago. That all changed a few nights ago at the Nightclub 9:30 in D.C. While standing on the balcony of the club watching a Grateful Dead tribute band, Lipsky had to go to the bathroom, but instead of going to the men's room, he decided to just let it flow out on to the crowd below. In case you hadn't guessed, Lipsky had been drinking heavily. He issued a statement calling the incident "DEEPLY HUMILIATING, VERY EMBARRASSING AND TROUBLING". However, he refused to admit that the whole thing actually happened, despite the fact that it was witnessed by almost everyone present, and that he was arrested for assault. He said, "I CAN'T COMMENT ON THAT. I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO ALL THE GOOD THINGS, AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET THIS OVERSHADOW ME." He added that he was going to quit drinking (If I was him, at the very least, I'd quit drinking beer).I've got to laugh at guys like this. He relieves himself on a crowd of people, offers some sort of vague apology and thinks that's the end of it. He's in the right line of work. This guy is DEFINITELY a politician!
My thanks to everybody who showed up today for our big live remote broadcast at North Carolina Furniture Connection in King George. We had a lot of laughs out there.
Join me tomorrow morning. I'll tell you about the armless shoplifter in Munich, Germany who made it out of a store with a 24-inch television. Yes, it's true.
That's it for today. Because of our remote broadcast today, I didn't have my afternoon nap (very important at my age) and I'm feeling a little "loopy", as Jay Roman would say.
