Breaking: Jersey City Councilman arrested for urinating on clubgoers at a nighclub!!

[ROh70]

Just reported on MSNBC. The guy got drunk at a club and starting peeing from a balcony on clubgoers down on the floor.

And I thought I've seen and heard everything this election cycle, but, I think this takes the cake. Unbelievable.

No news on whether the guy is a democrat or a republican. MSNBC didn't do him any favors - they put his mug on television.

1. That was at a Dark Star Orchestra concert. I was there.

Very strange. I'm from Jersey too.

[ROh70]

5. Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining!

Did you get hit? Were people "pissed?" And, what kind of a band is Dark Star Orchestra?

[slick8790]

8. Well,

A) No, I didn't get hit, he was not near me.
B) I'm sure they were :rofl:
C)They're actually a Grateful Dead cover band, the best Dead cover band there is :smoke:

What a dingbat.

[Buzz Clik]

12. Which part is the news: the urinating off the balcony or getting arrested for it?

:shrug:

[ROh70]

13. Getting arrested, and having your mug shown on national television. How humiliating.

Imagine running against the guy when he comes up for re-election. You think this will come up in any ads?

[sniffa]

28. Getting arrested for it

Normally it's just an irate neighbor screaming about it.

Councilman vows to quit alcohol after public urination bust

Pea-brained Jersey City Councilman Steven Lipski swore off booze Sunday - two days after he was busted for urinating on a crowd of revelers at a Washington D.C. nightclub.
"I've resolved not to touch alcohol again," Lipski told reporters outside his home.
He called the incident "deeply humiliating, very embarrassing" and "troubling."

Still, the two-term Democrat refused to admit that he drunkenly relieved himself from the second-floor balcony of the 9:30 club Friday night.
"I can't comment on that," Lipski told Fox 5. "I'm going to continue to do all the good things, and I'm not going to let this overshadow me."
Lipski's vow to lay off the bottle came after he spent the weekend reassuring pals and contributors that it was a spilled drink - not No.1 - that got him in hot water.
"I spoke to one of his contributors this morning, and he's denying the whole thing," one source said yesterday.
"He's telling people he spilled a drink. It's ridiculous. He's already said he's not resigning. He's telling people that."
Lipski, 44, in Washington to see a Grateful Dead tribute band, was hauled out of the concert hall by cops after staffers spotted him in the act about 9:50 p.m., club sources said.
He was charged with simple assault.
The incident is the second booze-linked black eye notched by Jersey City pols in two years.
Mayor Jerramiah Healy was arrested and pepper-sprayed outside a Jersey Shore night club in the summer of 2006 after tussling with local cops.
"It's embarrassing for the city," said Jersey City Councilman Steven Fulop. "If you are invested in the city or are considering it, it sends the wrong message."

18. Thanks for the link and story. The guy needs to resign and move to Wyoming.

[originalpckelly]

30. "I've resolved not to touch alcohol again,"

That's a weird name for a guy's um, equipment. Alcohol?

I think he'll break the promise in only a few days, what will he do when he has to use the restroom (hopefully not in public)?

[tabbycat31]

16. that's Jersey City for you

the mayor of Jersey City was arrested in my town 2 years ago after a bar fight.

[Beacool]

39. Well, Healy was also in the paper today.

It appears that a judge threw out a lawsuit to oust him from his job. I had to see him in my town (Hoboken) frequently during the last few weeks because that's where Obama had his county campaign headquarters.

17. :posts inevitable trickle down economics joke:

n.t.

19. If it's Jersey City, it's probably a democrat, but we should wait and see.

[Freddie Stubbs]

23. Jersey City had a Republican mayor in the 1990's

[WI_DEM]

34. yeah but city council is heavily democratic, just giving the odds and it turned out to

be a dem. OH well, there are idiots in both parties.

[Morning Dew]

24. dem -

He attended a $1000.00 / plate Pelosi party in 2007 - memebers of the Dead played that night.

Several city council people from various cities were there. Jersey City Councilman Steve Lipski told the Washington Post "I am here to witness history in the making, the first woman speaker of the House, and to see members of the Grateful Dead perform.”

20. Faux news will put a 'D' after his name regardless.

25. golden showers over jersey

i wonder if the people at that club thought they were getting free tequila shots

[WinkyDink]

29. Yeah, like a Jersey City COUNCILMAN is actually NEWS outside of....Jersey City. MAYBE in Bayonne.

[slampoet]

31. I guess It wasn't THAT kind of nightclub......

[LanternWaste]

32. New Jersey...? Say no more...

New Jersey...? Say no more.

Because as bad as TX may be, at least it's not NJ :hide:

[latebloomer]

35. Hey, but we always go blue!!

Do YOU?

[Beacool]

42. Hey, we are only in second place in political corruption.

The number one spot goes to Chicago, the city where dead people voted for decades and it's still ran by the corrupt Dalys. When we feel bad in Jersey about our corrupt politicians we all go "well, at least we are not Chicago".

:D

38. Yeah, yeah, no need to rub it in.

He claims that he spilled a drink. He's on the cover of our local paper.
