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 -- that McCain later told people how unexpectedly fun he found Clinton to be.

TIMES reporter Anne Kornblut has filed a story on the curious relationship between Hillary and John McCain.

"One of the guys," is the way McCain describes her.

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.

Yep. And Scalia drinks with Ginsburg. I guess to be a “true conservative” now, you must never associate with Democrats socially?

"They were both so drunk that McCain thought she was beautiful and thought she smelled good."

I heard Mac woke up the next morning wondering why there was Vaseline on his bum.

“Mr. McCain’s advisers played down their relationship, saying he was friendly with a number of Democrats.”
***********************************

Ah, therein lies the problem. And he thinks conservative Republican voters are racist bigot liars who can’t be trusted.

Weird - we have a campaign with three Democrats in the running. And one of them has to win.

It is humanly impossible to get that drunk. Some things are impossible: You cannot exceed the speed of light. You cannot get colder than “absolute” zero. Any you cannot get drunk enough to make Hillary look attractive. Sorry, it is just one of those universal constants.

unless it was very, very late and I was way, way drunker."

You know what Double Coyote Ugly is?

Coyote Ugly is when you wake up in the morning and look down and she's so ugly you gnaw your arm off to avoid waking her up.

Doube Coyote Ugly is when you gnaw the other arm off too so that you won't ever drink again.
