Hillary Clinton, McCain held vodka-drinking contest

[TomInTib]

OK, it's from Drudge who claims it will be in tomorrow's NYTimes.


On a congressional trip to Estonia, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton astonished her traveling companions by suggesting the group do what one does in the Baltics: hold a vodka-drinking contest!

Delighted, the leader of the overseas delegation, Sen. John McCain, quickly agreed, the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to report on Saturday.

The after-dinner game went so well -- memories are a bit hazy on who drank how much. McCain later told people how unexpectedly fun he found Hillary to be.

"One of the guys," is the way McCain describes her.

I hope this is true - for so many reasons:

1. Did McCain later deliver pizza to her hotel room? wink, wink.

2. Party down, dud.

Er. I mean: "dood!"

[LincolnMcGrath]

3. Hillary and the McMaverick?

eww!

[buff2]

4. "One of the guys," is the way McCain describes her

Well that will ad fuel to the fire about Hillary being a "lesbian" now won't it? This ought to make the rightwingnuts full of glee. :puke:

8. Oh for God sake! You must be awfully young!

I remember being called one of the guys being the thing I was most proud of when I was busting my a** to prove myself in the workplace back in the 70's! It meant YOU as a femal were finally accepted into the boardroom and you didn't have to hear the damn comments like "I'd tell you what I really thought if there wasn't a woman present!" Ooooh how I hated that!

5. Looks like puppy love.

:puke:

6. A Vodka drinking contest??

I don't see anything wrong with that. More power to Hillary if she beat McCain.

7. NYT:2008 May Test Clinton’s Bond With McCain

Two summers ago, on a Congressional trip to Estonia, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton astonished her traveling companions by suggesting that the group do what one does in the Baltics: hold a vodka-drinking contest.

Delighted, the leader of the delegation, Senator John McCain, quickly agreed. The after-dinner drinks went so well — memories are a bit hazy on who drank how much — that Mr. McCain, an Arizona Republican, later told people how unexpectedly engaging he found Mrs. Clinton to be. “One of the guys” was the way he described Mrs. Clinton, a New York Democrat, to some Republican colleagues.

Mrs. Clinton and Mr. McCain went on to develop an amiable if professionally calculated relationship. They took more official trips together, including to Iraq. They worked together on the Senate Armed Services Committee and on the issue of global warming. They made a joint appearance last year on “Meet the Press,” interacting so congenially that the moderator, Tim Russert, joked about their forming a “fusion ticket.”

9. oh big freaking whoop

Here's a clue -- if it's from Drudge, it's sludge. The man is a pig.

Slow news day. Drudge didn't want to get his jeans dirty dumpster-diving....

12. See #7 nt

[longship]

10. I like this. Hope it *is* true.

It would humanize Hillary a bit. She can use the upgrade.

So could McCain, as a matter of fact.

[berni_mccoy]

11. I don't like McCain or H. Clinton, but...

I can't knock them for having fun. They're only human. Have some fun.

[me b zola]

13. Am I the only one who wishes...

...that after they got toasted they got into an old fashioned drunken brawl? :shrug:

[Buns_of_Fire]

14. I'll never look at that glass of "water" on debate podiums

quite the same way ever again.

[MrSlayer]

15. This actually makes me like them a little bit.

All the puritanism in politics is quite ridiculous. Nothing wrong with drinking to excess occasionally.

[TomInTib]

16. Hear!Hear!

I will certainly drink to that, MrSlayer.

[MisoWeaver]

17. And how much did we pay for this international drinking contest?

Are things so wonderful that the people of this country can sponser drinking contests for its public servents?

[girl gone mad]

19. I wish more of them would get drunk on my dime..

maybe they would stop dropping bombs and torturing innocents.

[Reckon]

18. Now that's funny..

"how unexpectedly fun he found Hillary to be."

[badgerpup]

20. OH, GOSH! OH, WOW! A VODKA DRINKING CONTEST! THE HORROR!

Somebody alert Robertson, Bennet, Foul-well et al right away!!!
Senators drinking vodka unto sozzlement...and NOT calling for hookers to be sent to their hotel room?
Something very, very wrong here...
:rofl: :spank:

[TomInTib]

23. Hey, I'm all for it!

This was a better place when everyone put their differences aside and got loaded together.

At every level of society.

edited 'cause I can't type worth a damn.

21. McCain'll make a fine Secretary of Defense in the Clinton Administration.

:patriot:

[fujiyama]

22. Weeiiiird

This is good news though - it's the kind of thing die hards in both parties hate - playing too nice with the other side. It's my hope that this knocks them both out of the running.

BTW you notice how whorish both of then are? They both have seemingly sold their souls for political gain. Both had their children insulted and both are kissing that person's ass. Chelsea was once insulted by McCain in a nasty 'joke' where he said "Janet Reno is her father" and of course it was told that McCain's adopted daughter was an illegitimate love child by Rove and gang.

I don't like them. I don't trust them. Let's hope they'll be drinking even more after losing their party's respective nominations.

[TomInTib]

25. That's where I think/hope it's going.

Both of them, as you say, have kissed {b]way too many asses.

24. I don't give a flying fig what hill can guzzle

I'll never pull the lever for the likes of her Corporate self.
