A politician who is simply sloppy drunk at a football game feels almost refreshingly all-American

I am of two minds about this reporting.  From Dems Gone Wild: Michigan AG Behaves Like Sloppy Freshman at College Football Tailgate by Andrew Stiles.

Looks like Brett "Keg Stand" Kavanaugh might have to relinquish his title as America's hardest partying political figure.

Dana Nessel, the Democratic attorney general in Michigan, apologized on Wednesday for behaving like a sloppy freshman at last month's Michigan-Michigan State football game in East Lansing. Nessel posted the apology on Facebook in response to swirling rumors and several Freedom of Information Act requests for information about the "Tailgate-Gate" incident on Oct. 30.

Nessel explained that she consumed a few too many Bloody Mary's "on an empty stomach" at a tailgate party, where she was photographed boozing it up with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D., Mich.) and Ron Weiser, chairman of the University of Michigan's Board of Regents. Once inside the stadium, Nessel "started to feel ill" and attempted to sleep it off. Eventually her friends intervened, demanding she leave "so as to prevent me from vomiting on any of my constituents," Nessel wrote on Facebook. "Polling consistently shows ‘Roman showers' to be unpopular among most demographics."

 

On the one hand, it is indeed inappropriate behavior for an elected official.  Were I from Michigan, there might be some policy context which would make the behavior even more egregious.  

On the other hand, she has apologized.  Even more significantly, she has demonstrated she is a real human being perfectly capable of humiliating herself before millions.  All of us know that, put to such a test, a goodly portion of us would similarly fail.

When so many of our politicians seem to be vicious, venal, and anti-American conniving authoritarians, a politician who is simply sloppy drunk at a football game feels almost refreshingly all-American.
