Hillary Ends Indiana Visit with a Shot and a Beer
Post-Tribune ^ | 4/13/08 | John Byrne

CROWN POINT -- Hillary Clinton showed her Midwestern roots by enjoying a couple mugs of Old Style on Sat. night at Bronko's restaurant.

She also drank a shot of Crown Royal whisky with mayors David Uran of Crown Point and Tom McDermott of Hammond before settling in for pizza in the bar.

She chatted with McDermott and Uran and his family for a half hour as patrons of the packed restaurant looked on.

"I pulled them draft Old Styles, and then I asked the senator if she wanted a shot of Crown Royal," bartender Russ Panning said. "She said 'Sure,' and she drank both drinks."

The food is very $$$$$$$$ pricey $$$$$$$$ but the lunch martinis are a speciality. They are VERY small, probably not quite an ounce. But it was fun. Commander’s Palace has been named Best Restaurant in the USA several times.

We also tried
Emeril’s
The Rib Room
Court of Two Sisters
Brennans
Pat O’Brien

I would pay HUGE money to see Hillary and Obama get their drink on in a Raiders of the Lost Ark-style shotfest.

We just spent a week in New Orleans. The French Quarter did not flood. Many areas did not flood. I asked at Emeril’s in the Warehouse District - no warehouses - used to be that way now it is hotels, restaurants, convention center, near Harrah’s Casino, and the waiter said they didn’t flood in that area either. They want tourists to COME BACK they are ready and waiting for you!

Friday morning before we left we FINALLY got to see a New Orleans parade! It is fun. Lots of brass bands and dancing and beads! It was the beginning of the French Quarter Festival. Later they will have JAZZ FEST and anyone who wants to have a great time and help N O get some of your money, go for that. It should be great music, and the food is fantastic.

I have some shirttail relatives in Indiana.....and let me tell you there's so many bible belts runnning through that state it would make your legs buckle.

Drinking is frowned on and not partaken of (openly, hah) in countless homes and farmhouses across the more rural areas. Tossing down a shot and a beer was probably not the smartest thing for Hillary to do.

Back home again in Indiana
And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight still shining bright
Thro' the sycamores for me
The new mown hay sends all its fragrance
From fields I used to roam
When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash
Then I long for my Indiana home

Hic.....

I doubt if McCain could get away with drinking shots on the campaign trail...

Obama litmus test time. I thought Muslims were forbidden to drink alcohol so if he doesn’t belly up to the bar for a few shots to outdo Hillary then to me its just another reason for me to believe he is a Muslim Trojan Horse.
