No...I haven't. The only thing that happened to me, other than losing a couple of Benjamins, was the usual, like: how did I end up here? And who is she?  J.P. Morgan would roll over in his grave after hearing this story. Maybe the government should hire him to fix the deficit...need I say more.

I remember a Saturday Night Live sketch from probably about 20 years ago.  Guy comes out of a blackout drunk and there is a security guard standing there.  He asks if he's in jail, and the guard says "No sir, I'm secret service.  You're the President, sir."

The guard explains to him that one day he "got piss drunk and ran for President".  He says "and I got elected??"  "Twice sir, you're in the middle of your second term."  The rest of it is a question and answer where the guy asks his agent all the things he has done since being President, and it's hillarious.  "We have three new states - Cuba, Saskatchewan, and Germany".  I don't know who was in the sketch or what season, I'd love to have a copy of it.  The security guy was giving his lines in a Dan Akyroyd sort of manner, but this was long after he had left SNL, and I wasn't watching it regularly so I really wasn't familiar with the players.

No wonder I couldn't find it in the SNL sketches.  It was MadTV, 1996, David Herman and Artie Lange.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajw4UP3Ibv4

Do you think its for real. Sounds like a made up story to me. I had to laugh in the article when the guy said he never want to get that drunk again. What are the chances he never will?? lol lol

Hi TG,

 

Was this real, did it happen or is it a spoof on a Comedy website paper? If true what a lucky nutcase....

Thanks for the laugh either way.

Toni

Yeah, sorry guys, I should have mentioned "The Onion" is a humor/satire group.
