In The Name Of Humanity

Consider this quote from a politician in the news:

"I admit to being human and making that error."

What error did she make? Well, she is, er, was, the attorney general of New Jersey, and she reportedly pulled some strings to help out her boyfriend when he was caught driving on a suspended license.

Okay. Personal corruption is in evidence, but it's at least understandable, since it's her boyfriend.

But what is this nonsense about admitting to being human? Did somebody imagine she was something else? Isn't being human a prerequisite for holding office in New Jersey?

Then again,
Based on this report from WWN,
Some politicians may be from space
And members of an alien race.
