NY politician Victor Tabone claimed he was too drunk to recognize that the briefcase filled with $20,000 he accepted in the back of an SUV was a bribe. He stated that the 6 or 7 vodka tonics he had at dinner made him think that the bribe was actually a contract to hire him as a political consultant.
As part of an undercover FBI sting operation, Tabone was one of 3 other politicians caught in the bribery scheme.
Bull $#%&!@*! A bribe is a bribe regardless if drunk or sober. When they get caught the excuse is stupid and rather funny.
BULL$#%&!@*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m too drunk to take bribes but not too drunk to sign binding contracts.
Don’t you just love it.
