From Las Vegas comes this incredibly appalling story:
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.What can you do, Mayor? What can you do?!?! You could start by having an iota of common sense!
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?"
Fourth grade is no place to start teaching kids about gin. At nine years old, kids should be learning about the wonders of the malt beverages...basic skills like being able to differentiate a pale ale from a stout. Their palates are nowhere near sophisticated enough to start diving in to the rich combination of botanicals present in a good gin.
You, Mayor Goodman, should be ashamed of yourself!
