Martinis with the Mayor

Ahhhh, for the love of Gin. Here you can see the truly amazing story of the mayor of Las Vegas and his love for Gin:

Mayor Oscar Goodman said he was just being himself when he told elementary school students that drinking was one of his hobbies and that the one thing he would want if stranded on an island is a bottle of gin.

"I answered the question honestly and truthfully," Goodman told reporters. "I'm not going to lie to children. I'm not going to say I would take a teddy bear or a Bible or something like that."

Asked by a reporter if he had a drinking problem, Goodman answered, "Oh, absolutely not. I love to drink."

Excellent. Nothing like a shaken martini to wash away those mayor-ing blues. At least he told them the truth! But what about the kids? No worries...

Principal Kemala Washington later called the comments inappropriate but said the students did not appear to understand.

"It just went over their heads," Washington said.
