Funny you should mention drinking problems...

I met Senator M once in the lobby of a well know hotel in London in the mid eighties. He was hammered (smashed)!! I think he said he was waiting for a cab. I pointed out the cabs are outside, senator. Oh yes he replied and stumbled forward.

I thought " And he is one of our Senators!"

And yet, there are plenty right here on this thread who appear to revere him because he purports to be jolly, has a big red drunk's nose, gladhands reporters and other political hacks and mentioned single-parent families a hundred years ago. And, oh yeah, he also talked about Socialist Insecurity and did absolutely nothing to free us from that monstrosity.

In other words, he parties a lot and yacks a lot, while wasting taxpayer money.

Not much mention of his gun-grabbing, babykilling, Huge Stupid Government ethics, though. "He's just a wonderful, honest, ethical man."

Feh.
