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

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."

“...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.
I have to admit 76 years is a long time for that guy.
“I am sure Boris had good reason to try to hail a cab in his undies.”
Hillary probably stole his pants.
Hitler = Teetotaler Yeltsin = Alcoholic
Which would you rather have?
Boris had an excuse, but Clinton made an ass out of himself while perfectly sober!
BORIS SOUNDS LIKE A HELL OF A FUN GUY!!
RIP LIBERATOR!
Bill Clinton would never be found in such a compromising position.....
Maybe it was one of those "Hold my vodka and watch this" moments. ;~))P>
Yeah, I was just wondering whose underpants have roamed the halls of the WH
I’m kinda addicted to pizza in my shorts also.
Perhaps he was trying to close “the pizza gap”!
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!
Hey Bender did you get this drunk LOL!
My kinda dude, dude!
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
I heart this place. Historical awareness and perspective. We know who the scumbags are!
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.
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!
