Former Russian president Boris Yeltsin got so drunk during a visit to Washington that he was found standing outside the White House in his underpants trying to hail a cab to go and buy a pizza.

The following night he was mistaken for a drunken intruder when he was discovered stumbling around the basement of his guest house by secret service agents.

The drunken behaviour of Yeltsin, who was known for his fondness for vodka and died two years ago aged 76, were revealed by former US president Bill Clinton. Russian President Boris Yeltsin (L) taps his watch to end a White House press conference as US President Bill Clinton looks on in 1994

Russian President Boris Yeltsin taps his watch to end a White House press conference as US President Bill Clinton looks on in 1994

Clinton, who is no stranger to indiscretions of his own, sat down with historian Taylor Branch to give an "oral history" of his presidency.

The results of 70 taped interviews between Clinton and Branch, who were former flatmates from the 1970s, is a new book "The Clinton Tapes: Wrestling History with the President."

It would have been nice to hear what Boris would say about Clinton in a book.

[hometoroost]

Is there anything that is below that man’s dignity? Does he even know what dignity is?

[subterfuge]

Slick Willie doesn’t even know the meaing of the word “is.”

[Orange1998]

He throws a man who can not defend himself under the bus for a buck or two. As always its a one sided story from the Clintons.

Clinton, who is no stranger to indiscretions of his own, sat down with historian Taylor Branch to give an "oral history" of his presidency.

Maybe they should get that part from Ms. Lewinsky.

[svcw]

Weird. I thought he was dead.

Yeltsin showed a massive pair of steel clankers when he stood on the tank in Moscow. He helped the USSR go “poof”. RIP

[KarlInOhio]

Clinton: Taylor "Branch"? I though Taylor Swift was coming over. She needs some special comforting after Kanye was mean to her.

[ Untranscribable Doppler shift whizzing of an ashtray ]

Clinton: Sorry Hillary, I didn't know you were there.

[NonValueAdded]

That’s gonna help the SecState with her job.

Weird. I thought he was dead.

Which one? This story is about some of the tapes made while Clinton was being interviewed, so he is telling some old stories.

From the story: The drunken behaviour of Yeltsin, who was known for his fondness for vodka and died two years ago aged 76,

[keats5]

I remember that day. He may have not been able to handle his liquor, but there was a moment when he stood up to the USSR, and history will never be the same.

[Seruzawa]

I don’t know. I think it would be pretty entertaining to have seen Bush and Obama knock back some Stoli and dance in a conga line while wearing lampshades.

[svcw]

Ok. I didn't read the whole story.
One is literally dead the other figuratively dead - take your choice.

[elcid1970]

This is yet another attempt to besmirch the memory of Boris Nikolayevich, the Liberator.

Pure spite from the Left and nothing more.

At least Yeltsin was human, unlike most of his enemies.

[smonk]

---Other subjects covered included Clinton's view of George Bush, describing him as "unqualified" to be president.---

GWB was about a zillion times more qualified to be president than the Clenis . . .

[dfwgator]

Churchill drank like a fish during WWII, and he was still one of the greatest leaders of all time.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Mr. Yeltsin a) clearly had a problem with alcohol, and b) is dead. Therefore there is nothing at all to be gained by Bill Clinton dredging up and spreading tabloid gossip of this nature. Truly shameless and classless.

[keats5]

Yes, great men are often “uneven.”

[trumandogz]

I am sure Boris had good reason to try to hail a cab in his undies.

[Monterrosa-24]

“...in his underpants trying to hail a cab to go and buy a pizza...”

So he fits right in with establishment Washington except he was too square to do cocaine.

[MinorityRepublican]

I have to admit 76 years is a long time for that guy.

[takbodan]

“I am sure Boris had good reason to try to hail a cab in his undies.”

Hillary probably stole his pants.

[dfwgator]

Hitler = Teetotaler Yeltsin = Alcoholic

Which would you rather have?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Boris had an excuse, but Clinton made an ass out of himself while perfectly sober!

[Mr. K]

BORIS SOUNDS LIKE A HELL OF A FUN GUY!!

RIP LIBERATOR!

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Bill Clinton would never be found in such a compromising position.....

[Ditto]

Yeltsin showed a massive pair of steel clankers when he stood on the tank in Moscow. He helped the USSR go “poof”. RIP

Maybe it was one of those "Hold my vodka and watch this" moments. ;~))P>

[silverleaf]

Yeah, I was just wondering whose underpants have roamed the halls of the WH

[garyhope]

I’m kinda addicted to pizza in my shorts also.

Perhaps he was trying to close “the pizza gap”!

[LizardQueen]

I loved Yeltsin - he was a drunk but really funny to watch when they caught him on film.

He also had brass ones for standing on the tank.

Hey Bender did you get this drunk LOL!

My kinda dude, dude!

[wardaddy]

I have been known to run outside on our wuttle pasture naked and piss in 15 degree weather just for fun....my boys do it too

something primal about it...like fire in deep woods or holding your baby up to the stars asking for God’s acknowledgement or making a good shot on that animal you’re soon to eat

it drives wifey crazy...

and I don’t even drink..much

God bless Boris

[dog breath]

Your comment reminded me of a joke a friend would say when we were out on the town. Jesus drank, Hitler didn't, you figure it out.

[Revolting cat!]

I heart this place. Historical awareness and perspective. We know who the scumbags are!

[SunkenCiv]

Y'know, the jokes really *do* write themselves:

Clinton, who is no stranger to indiscretions of his own, sat down with historian Taylor Branch to give an "oral history" of his presidency.

I recall a clip in which Yeltsin is looking at Clinton who is laughing uncontrollably (both were dressed, however) and has his hand across Y's shoulders.

[ottbmare]

Dude! That group does my favorite version of “Sweet Home Alabama.” Thanks for posting.

Putin (As Dark Helmet): So, Obama. Yogurt has taught you well. If there’s one thing I despise, it is a fair fight. But if I must, then I must. May the best man win. Put ‘er there.
[Reaches out to shake Obama’s hand and instead takes his Schwartz ring]
Dark Helmet: The Ring! I can’t believe you fell for the oldest trick in the book! What a goof! What’s with you man? Come on! You know what? Here let me give it back to you.
[throws it down the grate]
Dark Helmet: Oh, look, you fell for that too! I can’t believe it, man!

[dfwgator]

Disregard #40, that was for another thread.

SinkEmperor is trailer park trash. And that’s why the democrat voters love him, he’s one of them, a liar, sleazy, and completely amoral on everything. ... And that comes from knowing too many democrat voters, not from meeting their little god Billy.

[El Sordo]

Well, we’ve all been there...

Keep laughing Billy boy, the lips that have held secrets tight about your doings will one day wag endlessly.

[a fool in paradise]

Can we really believe what Bill Clinton says, we all know that he lies under oath.

[a fool in paradise]

Weird. I thought he was dead.

This was the Ghost of Boris Yeltsin. He was drunk and upset that he had to share the White House guest room with the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt.

Carter and Obama are sad to have seen us win the Cold War and would like to see a Soviet ReUnion established.

[a fool in paradise]

Ted Drunkard Kennedy also had a “where’s my pants” moment.

[a fool in paradise]

GW Bush didn’t have a birth certificate?!!!

Who is Bill Clinton to speak out about “qualifications”?

His draft dodge and protest on foreign soil in wartime made him a suspect candidate. Depends on the meaning of “treason” and “perjury”.

[Slings and Arrows]

Poor Teddy Kennedy, one-upped even in death.
