First reported by House Race Hotline, those lovable scamps:

Congressman John Sweeney, a Republican from the 20th district of New York State, appeared at a registered party at Alpha Delta Phi on Friday, April 22. The Congressman came from Geppetto's Bar and was described by witnesses as being inquisitive and engaging, while also acting openly intoxicated.


Sweeney dep. CoS Melissa Carlson is quoted in the story, saying the Congressman was attending the wake of a close friend earlier that day. "[The congressman] was impressed with the energy and enthusiasm the students displayed -- particularly on a Friday evening. Where better to receive feedback than on their own turf at the college itself?" Carlson said.

(The college, however, isn't in Sweeney's home district.)
