Or remember Al Gore, who "drank a lot of iced tea" and so missed key parts of fund raising meetings? I think it was the part of the meeting where they discussed shaking down Buddhist nuns and selling the Lincoln Bedroom or something. I do recall that when Gore was cornered about some typically Clintonesque shenanigans, he volunteered that he had stepped out of the meeting a lot because he had drunk so much iced tea. Someone else will remember this correctly, I'm sure.
Oh, yes. The iced tea episode. I think you have it about right. But I forget if it was before or after the "no controlling legal authority" statement.
