As you read here, New Mexico Governor and Stinkin’ Chairwoman of the Republican Governor’s Association, Susana Martinez, got grass-hugging, snot-slinging drunk and made quite the scene at a nice hotel.

Well, the bad part about getting drunk is that you eventually sober up.

“I want to apologize for the conduct of my staff the night of our holiday party,” she wrote. “There was apparently a party in a hotel room earlier in the night that was disruptive. Someone was also throwing snowballs from a balcony. None of that should have happened and I was not aware of the extent of the behavior, until recently. And that behavior is not acceptable.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, cowgirl.  Throwing your staff under the bus is really uncool.

But, she’s not finished.

“I also want to admit that I made a mistake when I went to speak to the receptionist and asked her about the complaint. I should not have gotten involved in trying to resolve the situation, nor should I have spoken to the dispatcher on the phone. I was wrong to speak with them like that, and I apologize.”

Like what, Honey?  Like drunk?

Apparently not.

In an appearance on the Albuquerque television station KOB-TV’s Friday evening newscast, the governor said she was “absolutely not” trying to abuse her power as governor.

Martinez told KOB that she had 1 1/2 cocktails over four or five hours at the party.

So, she acts like a drunk obnoxious nincompoop all the time?  Is that what she’s saying?

Look, I’m no political consultant or anything, but I think she would have been much better off saying, “Hell, I was so drunk that I thought I was the queen of damn England.”  I mean, you can fix drunk.  Butthole ain’t something you can fix so easily.
