Do We Really Want A State Legislator Who Can’t Party?

Dan Gross reported yesterday the Vince Fumo held a campaign fundraiser that somehow injured him.

This might make sense if it were a fundraiser of something one could get injured at, like a shark-infested water skiing competition or a glass-eating contest — but, no, it was just apparently a simple party.

Vince Fumo says he “pushed it a little too hard” Thursday night at his Fairmount mansion, where he held a $5,000-a-head fundraiser for his re-election campaign. The embattled state senator is recuperating after back surgery Tuesday at Pennsylvania Hospital. [...] Fumo told us he was gonna spend the weekend in bed, and was still a little sore after the operation, a lumbar laminectomy, done to remove arthritic bone that caused nerve compression leading to pain down his legs.

Being indicted for corruption is one thing, but not being able to party? I once had surgery and that same night I was getting down with Spuds MacKenzie. No way he’s getting my vote.
