Historical insults

Many years ago the mayor of Columbus, Ohio was stopped in the early hours of the morning for drunk driving. Asked what he was doing he answered: "I'm not drunk, I'm inspecting the city!" Unfortunately, it was so long ago I cannot find a search geek reference, so do not remember the mayor's name.
