QOTD: Sure, Yes

by: huntsu

Wed Mar 26, 2008 at 10:27:16 AM EDT



This is a transcript of Andy Unanue, the current savior of the NJ Republican Party's effort to win a statewide race, where he defends himself against the charge of being drunk on the job by saying he was just hung over.

Q: Did you hear some testimony regarding your drinking alcohol [on the job]?
A: Yeah.

Q: Were you ever drunk in the office at GFI's [Goya Foods] headquarters?
A: No

Q: Were you ever drunk in any other offices where you worked?
A: No.

Q: Were you ever hung over in the office?
A: Sure, yes.

"Sure, yes." he says.  As if this were a normal occurrence for an officer of a major corporation to show up to the office hung over.

If that's what he did while managing the family business, imagine what he would do in the US Senate.

Really? (4.00 / 1)
This is front page worthy?

Who hasn't been to work, at least once, hung over?

You think Ted Kennedy has never showed up to the Senate with a hangover?

I think we can attack his record on more substantive issues than this.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

[ Parent ]
Ted Kennedy wasn't fired by the family (0.00 / 0)
This is part of a larger story re: Mr. Unanue where he was fired by his own family for unprofessional behavior.

[ Parent ]
there were stories from the FL Kennedy family compound (0.00 / 0)

back in the '90s when maybe he should have been.  Maybe he would have set a better role model for Patrick, so he wouldn't have ended up driving into a barrier at the Capitol at 3am or whenever it was and not knowing where he was.

[ Parent ]
This might make him more qualified for the Senate. (0.00 / 0)
If I had to listen to Senator Inhofe speak about (i.e. deny) global warming everyday, I'd start showing up to work drunk, too.

Seriously, though, is being in the Senate drunk any worse than roaming around the Capitol building in pajamas, Domenici-style?
