Susana Martinez Almost Apologizes
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.
She was, after all, born in Texas
1Wingnuts all must travel with busses everywhere they go cuz they throw everyone under it eventually. Bottles magically become snowballs in the cold,harsh lights of sobriety.
2How much worse drunk is grass-huggin’ than commode-huggin’?
How did she explain having so much blood in her alcohol stream?
3If she almost apologizes then I guess that people will have to almost forgive her.
4Hey, 1.5 cocktails can make you stinking drunk, especially if they were concocted with the highest octane possible and you don’t have the infrastructure to chemically cope with such stuff. Now, about her really stupid behavior . . . wait, I think I just nailed it!
5I’m afraid to plug in our snacilbupeR translator. That little piece of machinery has a major circuitry flaw. It called Jeb(?) the “smarter” Bush. Whereas Susana Martinez was supposed to be the saner and more sober among the snacilbupeR women with name recognition.
6Wonkette covers this. She starts with an absolutely stunning fight scene done in stick figures by Ms Jeanne Devon of themudflats.net.
Spoiler alert-I know you all have been dieing to know the name of Pistol Braylin’s as yet to be born alive fetus. It is Sailor. Just barf somewheres else,por favor.
7She called it a holiday party when she got loaded. I’ll bet she called it a Christmas party while she was sober.

It does appear that alcohol is playing keep-away with Susana’s intellect.
9She could have been as honest as that Toronto mayor who, when asked about something he’d said or done, replied (on the record), “I must have been in one of my drunken stupors.”
*One* of my…. I like that.
10what’s not amusing is that we taxpayers probably footed t he bill in that expensive hotel. Unless she took the money from a campaign fund……no wait…..that’s what Diana Duran did and is now in jail for.
11A very nice doctor of my acquaintance told me he routinely triples the amount of alcohol people say they drink when he’s taking a medical history. It’s just one of the things we reflexively lie about.
12Why is it Republicans never apologize?
Is it they don’t know how” Or, is it they don’t think they did something wrong?
13Don’t you suppose her “cocktail” glasses are so big it takes two state troopers to pick each one up for her?
14Next week Martinez will be the sole victim here.
15@Redwood
The Lost Wages odds are on “they don’t think they did something wrong”.
16The pathetic part of this is that Ole Suzanna could have been a contender had she been a Democrat. She is a person who actually has dealt with ‘the Border’ issues and imigration as DA in Dona Ana County. Too bad she chose the dark side.
17“they don’t think they did something wrong”.
You have their thought process almost right.
“I am a Republican, therefore everything I do is right, by definition”.
18Also, “Admission of error is a sign of weakness, and we never show Weakness!”
Actually,it’s a sign of honesty and maturity. But watchya gonna do?
