La Mesa residents must feel secure after the news broke that their own mayor, Art Madrid was found inebriated and passed out lying on the sidewalk near his SUV and a pile of his own puke. Some of them are so irate to learn that their mayor drinks alcohol and vomited one time as a result, that they are threatening a recall. Now, obviously Madrid (who has the coolest name ever) probably shouldn’t have gotten wasted in a public place, or really probably shouldn’t have gotten wasted at all. However in this matter it is important to keep things in perspective.

Being that in the past two presidential elections Americans have chosen to elect a man who has lied repeatedly about going to war with Iraq, lost thousands of emails pertaining to allegations of perjury, covered up a multitude of misdoings, bungled federal response to a horrific hurricane and led the economy into what can only be a recession, which he also denies…it should be hard for people to judge a person based on one night of too many peach martinis. I am only saying peach martinis because that’s what a man by name Art Madrid sounds like he should be drinking. Also, the mayor apologized for his embarrassing behavior, I’ve not yet heard the magic words from George Bush, although they too may be lost along with the truth that his administration has done a glorious job of hiding. Perhaps people are just angry what with the high gas prices, the sagging economy, the repeated lies, the school cutbacks, a bodybuilding governor and a mayor that likes his drinkies.

Oh hell let’s forget it all..join me for a peach martini won’t you?
