WASHINGTON, July 28 — Two summers ago, on a Congressional trip to Estonia, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton astonished her traveling companions by suggesting that the group do what one does in the Baltics: hold a vodka-drinking contest.
Delighted, the leader of the delegation, Senator John McCain, quickly agreed. The after-dinner drinks went so well — memories are a bit hazy on who drank how much — that Mr. McCain, an Arizona Republican, later told people how unexpectedly engaging he found Mrs. Clinton to be. “One of the guys” was the way he described Mrs. Clinton, a New York Democrat, to some Republican colleagues.
Mrs. Clinton and Mr. McCain went on to develop an amiable if professionally calculated relationship. They took more official trips together, including to Iraq. They worked together on the Senate Armed Services Committee and on the issue of global warming. They made a joint appearance last year on “Meet the Press,” interacting so congenially that the moderator, Tim Russert, joked about their forming a “fusion ticket.”
Politics being what it is, there is more friction than fusion. As the 2008 presidential campaign begins to take shape, with Mr. McCain and Mrs. Clinton at the top of the polls for their parties’ nominations, they are increasingly underscoring their differences on issues like the war in Iraq and port security. Advisers to Mr. McCain have put a stop to his inviting Mrs. Clinton on trips.
Whether their friendship is based on anything other than the respect of one political professional for another, or the opportunity to strike a tone of bipartisanship for public consumption, is unclear.

I'm hoping for some good photoshopping work and humor from my fellow Freepers. It's Monday--I could use a good laugh.
I really REALLY didn't need to click on this thread, now did I?
Now I'll have digusting images in my head all day.
The barf alert comes from reading the whole article. Apparently the Hildebeast and McCain have formed a mutual admiration society and they both say the other would make a good president. Yikes!!!
I wonder did they run outside and write their names in the snow afterward.

Beyond scary. I would be FORCED to vote for McCain to keep a hard Marxist like the unqualified Witch our of the White House. That would be the end of the Constitution and this country as we know it. Our enemies would be running the show, and Kofi Annan would be sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom. This is what Washington has DEGENERATED to...
I would be GREAT if this was videotaped and put on YouTube.com or Google Videos for the world to see.
If would surely go against the grain of what the Media Machine is trying to do for her with glowing reports.
I don't guess anyone you know taped it?
What poll has McCain as tops for the GOP nomination?
Your prognosis appears to fit our "Manchurian Candidate" nearly as well as the Hildabeast (love that tag). It is quite possible McCain is the more dangerous as his hidden agenda makes him "The devil we do not know." So far his record proves he's quick with a dagger to any exposed back, and our Constitution is his ultimate target.

Yes, McCain is dangerous. Clearly to our Constitutional rights. With the present level of political lust and power-madness in Washington, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is a target of all but a few in Washington since it is the ONLY factor that is keeping our Republic even partially protected from the socialist vampires that would suck it dry for power. But also, Hitlery, being the hard Marxist and power-mad carpetbagger she is, is a major danger to our country, in just about every respect. She would, like her so-called husband, would strike out against our laws and the Constitution through the judicial system to gain absolute power. Most don't realize how close Billary came to doing just that before he was thankfully thrown out of the White House.
They are both dangerous.
As the first red-state primary, South Carolina republicans will send this poser packing again.
