Honestly, I don't mind if a government official wants to have some fun. Everyone deserves to let loose.

I mind that he flew there on our dime. I mind that he stayed in hotels on our dime. I mind that he ate on our dime. I mind that he got drunk on our dime.

Turns out, many athletes aren't that smart.

To be fair, it seems like he just busted in while they were already celebrating to steal some of their glory.

Add him to the list.
