The old “I wasn’t with him” trick. Looks like that photo was most likely from Verlin's bar after all.
Kinder's spokesman, Jay Eastlick, expressed some skepticism over the (lieutenant) governor's presence at Verlin's when we reached him this morning.
"I really highly doubt the lieutenant governor is going to a bar where they don't wear pants on a night when they don't wear pants," he said. "I saw the picture. I don't know if it's an old picture. I just can't imagine he'd be drinking there."
Added Eastlick, "I don't know where he was -- whether he was there, or at some other place. I wasn't with him!"
