Turns out you can run a city just fine but still get ousted from office if you can't hold your liquor.

Last night, Sheboygan voters tossed out Mayor Bob Ryan in the Wisconsin city's first-ever mayoral recall election. Sheboyganites demanded the recall after Ryan got caught by the media's klieg light in a number of sottish exploits, such as brawling at a bar, talking about his sister-in-law's “hummer” (not the car) and incurring a lawsuit by hitting on the city's human-resources director, although in his defense he might've been sober for that last one.
