On a congressional trip to Estonia, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton astonished her traveling companions by suggesting the group do what one does in the Baltics: hold a vodka-drinking contest!
Delighted, the leader of the overseas delegation, Sen. John McCain, quickly agreed, the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to report on Saturday.
The after-dinner game went so well -- memories are a bit hazy on who drank how much -- that McCain later told people how unexpectedly fun he found Clinton to be.
TIMES reporter Anne Kornblut has filed a story on the curious relationship between Hillary and John McCain.
"One of the guys," is the way McCain describes her.
Clinton and McCain have developed an amiable relationship. They worked together, both on the Senate Armed Services Committee and on the issue of global warming. But as the 2008 presidential campaign begins to take shape, with McCain and Clinton at the top of the polls for their parties' nominations, they are increasingly doing things that underscore their differences.
"But the interplay between the two senators -- both celebrities, both self-styled centrists, both with compelling personal narratives and a knack for infuriating their own parties' bases -- remains intriguing as they navigate the early phase of a presidential race with an eye toward conceivably running against one another."
Developing...
I bet she has pictures of McCain doing God knows what?
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.
Nothing to see here... Move along.
Note to McCain: If Hillary wants to share one of her cigars, politely decline!

Where is Ted Kennedy when ya really need him?
No comment.
Not enough Vodka in all of the old USSR.
This sounds more like scrappleface then Drudge
Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I threw up while reading this.
Drudge says the story will be in the NYT so it must be true.
God help us if either of these losers are ever a resident of the White House.
It takes ten shots of vodka before you can begin to look her in the face.
Go to bed with a ten and wake up with a one.
Better vodka than Clinton-era White House lines of cocaine. ;')
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)
Na zdorovya!
