Washington governor (Gregoire) forgets ID, can’t get into bar

Bouncer turned her away because she couldn't prove she’s legal to drink

OLYMPIA, Wash. - Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire is taking it as a compliment: She was turned away from a bar in the state capital because she couldn't prove she's of legal age to drink.

The 61-year-old governor and her staff had served burgers at the annual Capital Lakefair last weekend and afterward went to a downtown Olympia bar called Hannah's to celebrate.

Gregoire says the man checking identifications at the door told her she couldn't get in without ID, even when others pointed out she's Washington's governor. So she went home, but her husband, Mike, went in. ~snip~

Hannah's owner, Todd Ruzicka, says his 23-year-old part-time bouncer needs more training. :7
