Democratic Councilman Pees on Crowd from Balcony at Concert
Constituent service.
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."
Thanks to intaglio. Incidentally, KevinM. sent me this tip yesterday, which I stupidly didn't post -- because his tip was to a NBC's NYC news site, which, of course, failed to note this guy's party. They are now noting it.
