Hillary headed to alcohol rehab?

The National Enquirer, still basking in the glow of its takedown of philandering John Edwards, a story well known to many in the media but ignored because the man was, after all, the Democrats’ pick for veep and a darling of the left, is reporting that Hillary Clinton may be heading to rehab for a drinking problem.

A  “boozed-up” Hillary Clinton suffered a secret collapse during a recent vacation – and now worried advisers want her to do a secret stint in rehab before her White House run!

Sources close to the former FirstLady and ex-Secretary of State revealed the hush-hush “Rehab Before White House” plan to The National ENQUIRER in advance of Hillary’s formal announcement to be a 2016 presidential candidate, touted for early next year.

A high-level insider told The ENQUIRER: “Hillary’s social drinking has gone out of 
control!

The first problem is the anonymous sourcing. The second problem is that this is just someone’s idea that Hillary should go, not that she will go. This is very thin gruel indeed, even if true.

“And that she retires from public life and maybe moves to France.”

LOL! I absolutely agree with your comment!

Paraguay, the Falkland Islands, Mongolia, etc. Those are all good choices too.

Has she ever passé a bar?

[Old Yeller]

How many times did it take her to just pass the bar?

If she passed a bar it would only be because she preferred to drink alone that night.

“You’d drink too if you realized that you had no ability to get a job on your own, you had no discernible ability, you had an obnoxious personality, and you had ruined virtually everything you touched.”

If that's the case, zerO must be doing scoops of blow.

Be quiet. Storing such dangerous chemicals may result in a SWAT home-invasion by the EPA

It wouldn’t surprise me even a little if it was true. I’ve seen so many pictures of her over the years with a cocktail or glass of wine in hand, looking tipsy. Most politicians manage to avoid being photographed that way (see Boehner, who I’m convinced is a hard core alcoholic, but has rarely been photographed with a drink in hand).

If it’s true, I suspect the media to circle the wagons big time. It would be much harder, and take a lot longer, to shine a spotlight on the truth than it was for the John Edwards illigitimate child story.

[GreenHornet]

Actually, if this is true, it would be in the interest of the Democrat Party to bring this out and to dump Hillary ASAP. The longer this would drag out, the worse it would be for the Dems. So, mum's the word.

Agree. If this story's true, the Democratic insiders already know she is a ticking time bomb. After the thumping they took in this year's mid-terms, they can't afford to have her on the campaign trail, knowing that a public meltdown could happen at any time, and would spell disaster for the entire party. Their best course of action is to persuade her not to run. She still has time to bow out gracefully, giving a nice "it's time for me to devote more time to my family" speech.

[BlueMondaySkipper]

She’s going to throw a blood clot to her lungs or brain and that will be the end of her.

Well then, by all means, carry on...

[GOPJ]

Ya gotta love the choices liberal put out there...

I gave it away as a birthday gift about ten years ago. Got it back a few years later...

Drunk Hillary.

Really Drunk Hillary

 

Drunk Hillary Boarding Air Force One.

[hattend]

I’m sure this will be played up ad nauseum like Bush’s DUI was. /s

[Bon mots]

[RichInOC]

To be fair, I can understand easily why she would drink. She is married to Bill.

[RightGeek]

Good ones!

[tet68]

this is just someone’s idea that Hillary should go, not that she will go. This is very thin gruel indeed, even if true.

It might be thin, but it tastes GREAT!

I, too, have such memories. We received a man about 35 years old who had been found unconscious beneath a bridge. They took him into the examination room. I was writing up the previous patient and could see the fainted man in the room straight away from where I was sitting. As I wrote the other patient's chart, the most foul odor I have ever smelled came wafting into my nostril. It was vile and noxious. The smell was emanating from his feet. They had taken off his boots and was putting him into a gown. I went toward the room to perform my examination, but was repelled by the malodorous aroma. I asked the nurse, "why did he stink so badly?" She simply said, "His feet". He had not removed the boots for about a month.

Now, so you will have a point of reference from my experience. I have had amniotic membranes rupture and soak me and my brand new Florsheim shoes. I have had 'pure pus', which I was evacuating from an abcess on a woman's back. As I evacuated it, the abcess was under such pressure that it coated my face with some actually touching my lips and tongue. I asked to to hold still as I gargled with 70% Isoporpyl alcohol. I have spent 2 hours digging out stool from a mans peritoneal cavity after a wife had shoved a garden hose up the mans butt with a small 'new potato' perched on the end of the hose. (They had seen this on a pornograhic video they were watching). He said it looked like it might have been fun. By the way, this guy never ran a fever over 99.5, and insurance covered the hospitalization.

Now, I say all of that to say this. Those moments pale to insignificance when compared to the odor of the feet of the man with cowboy boots.
