Korean Lawmaker Makes Drunken TV Appearance

Korean lawmaker goes on TV drunk.

Bad form:

'Rep. Shin Ji-ho of the governing party resigned as a spokesman for the Seoul mayor candidate of his party. He appeared Friday on a TV talk show under the influence of alcohol. He often gave roaming replies to questions, a clear indication that he went on air after drinking.

He claimed that he was not intoxicated as he took a shower after drinking alcohol before appearing the show. However, his remarks were sometimes pointless.

'

To be fair, many (most?) politicians make pointless remarks while perfectly sober.
