Scott Stringer, Borough President of Manhattan, is now the most Internet-famous borough president in New York City's history, a title he earned by defending Lady Gaga's virtue.Though Gaga herself hasn't yet publicly commented on the incident where (no, we don't know how drug abuse equates with sexual promiscuity), she (passively aggressively) sent out this tweet to her 29 million-plus followers, praising and at the same time let us know that she's fully aware of the Staten Island president's comments:

To @ of Manhattan, thanku for your support of my activism as a new yorker. You show political integrity + a modern vernacular.
