Michigan's attorney general owned up to drinking too much before last month's widely-anticipated college football game between in-state rivals Michigan and Michigan State in a self deprecating Facebook post that she has dubbed 'Tailgate-gate.' Nessel, a Democrat, said she had two Bloody Marys on an empty stomach while attending a tailgate party before Michigan State rallied to defeat Michigan 37-33 in a battle of then-undefeated Big 10 teams. She joked that 'as long as you put enough vegetables in them, it's practically a salad.'
