Sonny Perdue Lures High Schoolers to Governor’s Mansion Despite Lack of Keg
Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue, center, declares the party to be the best ever, announces his intention to have a kick-ass summer, and expresses his strong belief that he will remain best friends with the graduating class even after everyone moves away to college. (AP)
In a story that is almost the opposite of this one, Sonny Perdue hosted the awesomest graduation party ever at the Georgia Governor’s mansion yesterday for a bunch of high school seniors whose primary accomplishment seemed to be that they’d promised not to drive drunk.
We can’t improve much upon the truth here, as the article quotes Perdue as saying “‘06 Seniors Rule” and singing “You’ve Lost the Lovin’ Feelin’.” Which makes us doubt that the party was as dry as the AP claims. Who the hell can publicly sing the Righteous Brothers stone sober?

It's the "trendy visor and green glowstick around his neck" that really makes the story. I would give anything to see my grandfather dress like that.
Actually, my grandfather already does the visor part.
I've never been more proud to be from Georgia. Although, I cannot help but feel a little slighted that back in the day my high school didn't get invited to the party at the mansion. Ohwell, at least I was drunk.

I was under the impression that seniors in the South wore visors LONG before it was cool to do so - it's an integral part of the golfing "outfit".
