[font size=5]Audio: Cop, Security Guard Agree New Mexico Governor Was Drunk During Hotel Tantrum[/font]

If you really are only as old as you feel, then audio released today by Santa Fe police regarding a little hotel pizza party that got out of hand indicates that New Mexico governor Susana Martinez is... maybe 17 years old.

The tapes (via the NM Political Report) capture calls placed to 911 about a loud party early Sunday morning at the Eldorado Hotel & Spa in the state’s capital. In one call, a front desk clerk asks a dispatcher to send officers to the hotel to remove the noisemakers from the premises. The other two calls feature Martinez, who identifies herself as the state’s governor, interrogating various officers, dispatchers and hotel employees about why police had been sent to respond to the noise complaints. ....


In listening to New Mexico governor Susan Martinez argue with and vaguely threaten officers and security personnel who responded a noise complaint coming from her hotel room after her staff’s holiday party, one unconfirmed assumption could reasonably have been made: The governor was drunk.

Not hammered, out-of-control wasted, but definitely somewhere in the neighborhood of tipsy. Police who attended to the situation at the Eldorado Hotel & Spa—in which it was believed that people in Martinez’s room were throwing bottles from the balcony, a claim she strenuously denies—declined to file a report, and thus do not appear to have given Martinez a breathalyzer. But in further audio, released today by the City of Santa Fe, this time from an officer’s belt loop recorder, a hotel security guard and the officer both agree on what seemed obvious: the governor was drunk (via NM Political Report).
