A candidate for the Democratic Party's nomination for Maryland governor found himself in the middle of a wild party last summer, and now that a picture has surfaced, Doug Gansler has some explaining to do.

A photo of Gansler, the state’s attorney general, apparently reading a text message as teens bearing plastic cups cavort around him, was published by The Baltimore Sun this week. The party took place June 13 in South Bethany, Del., where Gansler claims he stopped to talk to his 19-year-old son about travel plans.

“Perhaps I should have assumed there was drinking going on, and I got that wrong,” Gansler said at a news conference in front of his campaign headquarters. “What I can tell you is that at no time while I was in the house did I see any teenager in any danger or any risk. If I had, of course, I would have attended to that person as I always do and spoken to the chaperones about ending the party.”

“I didn't see anything like, that would say, ‘Hey, we need to call the police, this is out of control,’ or anything like that," Gansler said.

Let's see ...

Half-naked kids running around carrying cups, drinking, cavorting, laughing, shouting, carrying on ...

... and he "didn't see anything"? Really??? Then there's this ...

Gansler starred last year in a public service announcement for The Century Council, an organization sponsored by the liquor industry that fights drunken driving and underage drinking. In the 30-second video spot, Gansler says parents are the leading influence on their kids' behavior when it comes to alcohol, noting, "It's never too early to talk to your kids about smart ways to say, 'No.' "

I believe his political ship is sunk before it ever leaves dry dock.

The irony is that he's an attorney general, meaning he's supposed to investigate and prosecute crimes and he lamely says, "I probably should have investigated if there was underage drinking going on."
