Don't You Know Who I Am?

Sometimes that question just doesn't work the magic you thought it would. But don't beat yourself up over it.

City of Miami Commissioner Johnny Winton wiled away the time waiting for a delayed flight by practicing deep elbow bending exercises in the airport bar:

According to police, American Airlines agents called authorities after they claimed Winton became loud and abusive, and when officers told him to calm down, Winton identified himself as a commissioner and called them an obscenity.

Police said Winton allegedly struck one officer with his elbow and kicked another before losing his balance and falling, hitting his head.

"As a consequence, I have embarrassed my family, my friends, my colleagues at city hall, my constituents, my city and myself, and for that, I am terribly sorry," Winton said, choking back tears behind his wounded face.

Tee! I'd hate to see the other guy. Oh wait, he is the other guy.

Damn, I hate to see him if he really tried to hurt himself.
I bet he didn't to flash his AmEx card when he did it either.

I don't get it, Donnah..did the airport personnel
get upset because he was exercising...???

Or was it because he was donkey-toed drunk...??
I wish our city commishes would do that, sorry bastards.

Now that's a picture of the government the people are paying for. Ain't that a crying shame?
