CROWN POINT -- Hillary Clinton showed her Midwestern roots by enjoying a couple mugs of Old Style on Sat. night at Bronko's restaurant.
She also drank a shot of Crown Royal whisky with mayors David Uran of Crown Point and Tom McDermott of Hammond before settling in for pizza in the bar.
She chatted with McDermott and Uran and his family for a half hour as patrons of the packed restaurant looked on.
"I pulled them draft Old Styles, and then I asked the senator if she wanted a shot of Crown Royal," bartender Russ Panning said. "She said 'Sure,' and she drank both drinks."

Hillary Clinton takes a swig of Old Style Beer while she visited Bronko's Pizza in Crown Point and dined with restaurant customers Saturday evening.
She looks like she sees that Bill’s not wearing any pants, just off camera.
My hubby and myself were wondering what the reaction would be if Bush or McCain had been slaming down booze on the campaign trail.
They would be automatically declared alcoholics.
My best guess? Hillary is no stranger to boozin’ it up, after all she has had Slick to try and cover for for years.
I’m sure the same matter of fact language would have been used back in 2000/2004 if this had been GWB.

a campaign stop for Hillary at Bronko's restaurant in Crown Point, Ind., Saturday, April 12...

Drudge has had this "shot" up front and center for a while now. Priceless!
By the look in her eyes, I would guess that this may be the first beer she has ever partaken of. And likely the last.
This could be the first normal thing she’s done.
LOL! I haven’t done shots since my college days...I learned my lesson a long time ago. Wine tastes better any way. :0)
She looks loaded. Man, can you imagine how shrill she sounds after a few? *Shiver*
That'll go straight to her thighs. (Is that Unca Teddy's hand?)
I wonder if she had a hangover...:)
Jeez, I truly expected this to be a parody. Hey wait a minute, it is! She’s parodying herself. Next thing you know she’ll head into the men’s room to enter the biggest Johnson contest. “Come on, boys, beat this!”
She slept well that night...
Can you see how that guy in the white shirt is looking at her? ROTFLMAO!
Old Hillygiggles goofed up, she needed to add a big old cigar or cigarette to her everyday guy effect. Perhaps she could have rolled up the ciggie pack in her sleeve.
One of the waitresses just bent over,more likely.
Yet another photo op/story/etc trying to portray herself as down to earth, human, in touch with the regular folk. Lets tally them up:
Dad showed her how to shoot
taught english to immigrant’s kids
shot and a beer in a pizza place
nervous due to sniper fire on runway
I know I am missing several, lets fill the list.
He's in a state of shock...
I love your screen name.
Even money Obama goes to a bar and drinks 2 shots.
She’ll be at the laundramat doing her laundry next...:)
Man...ol’ Hilly Mae is just sucking down the booze.
LOL
Funnier than hell. She may want to take things away from people....but it is unlikely she will take away the booze.
No way Obama could down 2 shots. He's more of a Zima guy.
I hope so!
She had a good time too...:)
Who in the world thought this was a great idea?? She looks like a dufus!!
hahahaha!!
Once she got into drinking beer and shots, I bet it was the most fun she had in years...)
Not to her supporters....People here in PA love her...
You’re right. Or a Bartles & Jaymes-er. Reminds me of Kerry eating a big hoagies but keeping his pinkies extended. Fits right in with that crowd.
Next she’ll be going hunting. I guess as long as she doesn’t shoot anything, she won’t be in violation of state law for hunting out of season.
Let’s give credit where it’s due...if anyone deserves a shot and a beer it’s Her Thighness.
If it had been Kerry, he’d be sipping a Virgin Mary...at least Hilary drinks like a man...
Too bad someone didn’t fill that mug with piss instead of beer.
She doesn’t CARE what Bill does. That is so obvious. They have a political partnership. Their marriage died decades ago. They don’t even live in the same state. She lives in DC, he lives in NY.
Amen
10 to 1, her campaign management whisked her out of there within minutes after downing that drink.
One can only imagine what Hillary might say under the influence.
on her way to the laundramat...
That's true. She didn't ask for a Cosmopolitan...:)
Maybe the truth....
But did she PAY for them?
“Put it on my Tab, Comrade.”
Never...
Ok, let's imagine it :)
Hillary's team messes up and before they react, another round is delivered to the table. With the cameras rolling, Hillary cannot refuse the shot and the beer. Let's listen after she quaffs the second mug ...
... means nutin, boyz ... that Obama, meansss nothin. I'll fix him just like we fixed Ron Br... [nervous handler jumps into the conversation] ma'am, we have to be going. S'all right, fetch me my hummer. ma'am, we're using the Escalade tonight. no, you stupid idiot, my hummer, the one with the silky thighs ...
