TIMES reporter Anne Kornblut has filed a story on the curious relationship between Hillary and John McCain.

If this IS true, did the U.S. taxpayers pay for the Vodka?

If I were in a delegation in which Hillary was also a member, I'd be drinking heavily, too.

Note to McCain: If Hillary wants to share one of her cigars, politely decline!

It takes ten shots of vodka before you can begin to look her in the face.

Since Hillary is a good Lennonist, it stands to reason she could hold down a ton of Scotch!~McCain however, is a complete and udder jerk (what a NIN-COW-POOP)
