via Capitol Alert: Read the whole thing. They’re already taking causalities. It appears these two have been dis-invited. h/t Political Moose on Twitter.

A California delegate to the Democratic National Convention was hospitalized early this morning, after apparently falling unconscious in a hotel lobby following a night of drinking, while another delegate became confrontational with hotel staff and has since left the delegation, a party official said.

“Oftentimes at conventions, people who have not seen each other for a long time gather and sometimes people have too much to drink,” Flores said. “That appears to have been the case here, and we’re gathering more information.”

The statement said the delegate apologized to hotel staff and agreed to “forgo official delegation activities.”

    Surely these fine gentlemen have been so upset by those obstructionist Republicans and the all of the lies told during the RNC they just slipped and had one cup too many. They, like Obama, are really nice guys who try too hard to accept the GOP when smart progressives know it’s a waste of time. (evening sarcasm)
