If Hillary Clinton ends up running against John McCain for the presidency in 2008, the two might vaguely remember competing against each other once before.
That would have been in the summer of 2004 in Estonia where, according to The New York Times, the margin of victory was not votes, but shots of vodka.
The instigator of the after-dinner contest, the Times reported for its Saturday editions, was Clinton, D-N.Y.
McCain, R-Ariz., readily agreed.
Aides to McCain did not return messages seeking comment Friday. Philippe Reines, Clinton's spokesman, played coy. "What happens in Estonia stays in Estonia," he said Friday evening.
McCain and Clinton have built a close working relationship in the Senate. They both serve on the Armed Services Committee and share interests in subjects such as climate change. Both have cultivated bipartisan images, working across party lines on common interests.
The Times reported that McCain has described Clinton to his colleagues as "one of the guys."
McCain and Clinton were joined in the 2004 trip by Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., John Sununu, R-N.H., and Susan Collins, R-Maine.
Until now, the trip was notable because McCain, while in Latvia, called Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko a dictator and said the elections Belarus' planned for later in the year were "bogus." At the time, McCain dodged a question about his presidential ambitions.
"I had a very close friend that was a member of the United States House of Representatives and he once said, 'If you're a United States senator, unless you're under indictment or detoxification you can automatically consider yourself a candidate for president of the United States,"' McCain said.
Clinton joined them later that day in Estonia.
Lotta shared interests alright -- gun-grabbing, keeping the borders open, global warming fearmongering, raising taxes, etc.
Her family jewels are much larger than McCains. He may have left his in the Hanoi Hilton.
I believe a search of Free Republic's archives over several years will show that I mentioned vodka as one of several reasons for Hillary's rapid aging and need for Spackle and uppers
Perhaps having known an editor at the Arkansas Gazette while Slick Willie was governor might have something to do with that.....
And after the night of drinking they...
"And after the night of drinking they... "
they talked about all the hot chicks they've known.
Well, that's put me off food for the next month!
Clinton/McCain in '08, please Lord, let it be. I want the beast trounced so thoroughly that she can't even get work as a spokesMAN for Snap-On Tools.
I think he means "just another corrupt political hack".
Were you planning on losing some weight (in which case I am happy to help) or was this bad timing (in which case, I appologize)?
You could have waited until after lunch... :-)
It all goes to prove that with enough shots of vodka in your gullet, even the most hideous of women (?) begins to look somehow strangely attractive.
Were they trading belly shots?
You know, there really is only one way to tell for sure...and the thought of McCain finding out firsthand makes me want to poke my eyes out.

Yours is one of the top taglines ever - so, so true!
She probably did this in the past with Webb Hubbell and Chelsea is the result.
Oh my God, don't even imagine a Hitlery / McLame offspring.
Ain't it the truth ...
Strange day, that is the third time someone has said that!!
