Not even a good try

If the following statement came out with a straight face, this guy could have a future in politics. From the Appleton Post-Crescent:

The head of a group seeking to exempt bars from the city's smoking ban blames the ban for an increase in violations for serving underage people.


Bill Maloney, president of the Appleton Coalition for Business Owners Rights, said the ban has driven experienced bartenders out of the city, leaving bar owners with inexperienced servers.

Do you think when Bill was a child that he actually tried to blame his dog when his homework wasn't done?

I know when I was a waitress, it took me months and months to learn how to ask to see an ID before serving someone alcohol.
