Hillary Clinton wants you to know that she’s just regular folk. That's right, she's like any other adult who, while representing her state and her country on government business, during a taxpayer-funded trip, engages in an alcoholic binge-drinking competition. Who hasn't?
I'm not unearthing dirt to smear the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who hopes to command the world's most powerful military, tickle the nuclear trigger, and become the global face of these United States of America.
I'm merely passing along Hillary Clinton's latest campaign video [see below], in which an off-camera woman asks if Madame Secretary has "ever won a drinking competition."
She laughs, with that endearing husky tone so familiar to hard-drinking chain-smokers, as she brags of her vodka-shots showdown with fellow Sen. John McCain. Furthermore, Mrs. Clinton assures an American public concerned about a stagnant economy and the threat of terrorism, that the McCain-Rodham throwdown was not the only time she chugged copious quantities of non-prescription ethanol depressants to see who could knock back the most before blacking out or puking.
It is, however, in her words, the "most famous" episode.
Ah, let the renown of such fame ring from every ivied hall of academe, as an example for the women who should "deserve to be believed" when they allege sexual assault. Let it resonate from the blacktop of every urban elementary schoolyard for the children looking to escape the generational curse of poverty.
Before you judge, ask yourself: Who among us has not made a sport of alcohol poisoning while on "a Congressional delegation" in response to a colleague's dare? Look in the mirror, my friend. You've almost certainly engaged in amateur competitive intoxication with a work colleague, and then bragged about it during a job interview in hopes of becoming CEO of that same organization.
Keep in mind, Hillary Clinton's campaign WANTS you to know this. Therefore, it's a positive feature of her candidacy, not a liability.
Perhaps it's a bold attempt to identify Hillary with the middle-aged, binge-drinking base, most of whom are in residential treatment facilities, divorce court, or otherwise working toward becoming the subject of awkward eulogies by long-suffering family and friends. Or maybe she's angling to ingratiate herself with America's youth, who, she believes, are eager to elect the first woman president who can reenact the famous scene from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" where Marion successfully goes jigger-to-jigger with a Nepalese bullmoose -- a woman chief executive who can finally break the glass ceiling and join the Wolf Pack for "The Hangover Part IV."
However, her specific identification of “vodka" as the lubricant, tips the hand of the woman who loves to bend the elbow. Doubtless she just wants us to know that she can go kneecap-to-kneecap with Russian President Vladimir Putin -- on his turf with his sauce -- and leave him worshiping at the altar of the porcelain goddess, as she rises with dignity from her seat in the Oval Office, behind the Dissolute Desk.
"You wanna piece of this, Donald Trump?" she fairly bellows. "Line 'em up!"
Panther Whizz?
Re the link to Hil’s trip and fall on the jetway...
Does anyone remember the early days of SNL when Chevy Chase mercilessly did pratfalls to recall Gerald Ford’s mis-step?
Where is that One Hit Wonder South Korean boy singing his international hit “She Bangs!!”
This is a HUGE error on her part.
Consider the source, but remember they broke the Edwards mistress story:

Has Hillary been treated for alcoholism?
Seems like a legit question for Trump to ask.
There are certainly enough photos of her - and the gif of her trip - to post with it.
Hey Hillary, fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life...
I remember that well. It was NBC making fun of a Republican tripping and falling, something they would never do with the beast because that would be sexist. /s
A desperate attempt to goad Trump into bashing drinking and drinkers.
I could've heard this wrong but it seems I've heard that Trump has never tasted alcohol.
Perhaps because he lost a brother to alcoholism or perhaps just because he never found any interest in it.
Any chance the witch can drink itself to death?
Soon?
Haven't watched it in years.
“Hey Hillary, fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life...”
Heck, Gore has done that for years.
Seems the beast is not too bright.
Trump wanted to rattle her cage. Well ... it worked ... too well.
Can her political carcass be dragged across the Primary Finish Line?
I don’t think he knows his own strength!
‘Seems the beast is not too bright.’
I was one of the few who tried to point that out back in the 90s. ‘The Smartest Woman on Earth’.
But this is due to foolish advice by a consultant. Trump’s been rattling her cage. She tends to lash out [behind the scenes] when she loses her temper. That undercuts loyalty, including the loyalty of consultants. One of a million reasons why she should not be elected.
“A desperate attempt to goad Trump into bashing drinking and drinkers.”
You think that would be a mistake? Drinking on the job???
Head of the State Department on a bender — not exactly the ‘Art of the Deal’, is it?
It would help diplomatic relations with Russia maybe? A drunk Secretary of State?
ON what continent?? Continents??
