HILLARY CLINTON, MCCAIN HELD VODKA-DRINKING CONTEST Fri Jul 28 2006 19:19:50 ET
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. McCain later told people how unexpectedly fun he found Hillary to be.
TIMES reporter Anne Kornblut has filed a story on the curious relationship between Hillary and John McCain, newsrooms sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
"One of the guys," is the way McCain describes her.
NYT TIMES editors plan a front page placement of Kornblut's report.
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."

Ummmm...ooooohhkayyyy....
My reaction as well. OMG.
Bovine feces. Neither will be their party's candidates in 2008.
When you are done checking out the last ping, come over and check this out!

I never saw or heard of either Clinton drinking.
You want to give me nightmares? Pass the wahdka, puleeze!
Which one? [grin]
Do you recall when Bill tore a ligament in his ankle at Greg Norman's house? He was blasted according to reports.

hmmmm..
R U serious?
Not even Last Call could make me run towards the beast. Now I have to drill holes in my head to make that vision go away.
Former FBI agent Gary Aldrich wrote in his book that many people thought Bill Clinton had a "drinking man's face."
If you drink too much, your complexion gets ruddy, puffy, and red.
Also, Alamogirl compiled a very detailed compilation of his drug use.
There is a picture of Bill Clinton high on cocaine when he was Gov of Arkansas. Someone who worked with him closely verified he was as high as a kite when the photo was snapped.
Anyone have it?
