I was doing laundry and sort of listening to the news, and I heard this story about a mayor talking to a fourth grade class and telling them that he drank for a hobby. When asked about it later in an interview, he said, very self-righteously, "I wasn't going to lie to children". This blew me away. I couldn't believe it. But sure enough. Here is the story. I see it's Las Vegas. Ah. That probably means something. Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman told a group of fourth graders on Monday that if he was marooned on a desert island the one thing he would want to have with him is a bottle of gin. And when a student quizzed Goodman about his hobbies he replied that "drinking" was one of them, said Mackey Elementary School Principal Kamala Washington, who was present for the mayor's visit. Goodman was unapologetic for his comments that came during his visit to the elementary school in North Las Vegas. "I'm the George Washington of mayors. I can't tell a lie. If they didn't want the answer the kid shouldn't have asked the question," Goodman said. "It's me, what can I do?" lasvegassun.com
