What it tells us that John McCain drank vodka with Hillary Clinton
CNN ^ | 9/26/2018 | Timothy Stanley

John McCain once took on Hillary Clinton in a drinking contest. It was at a restaurant in Estonia in 2004, during a congressional tour. Both politicians managed four shots of vodka; the rules were unclear, but Hillary -- McCain's one-time political rival -- was declared the winner, according to the restaurant proprietor (though in her own account, Clinton said they "agreed to withdraw in honorable fashion," rather than name a winner).

That image sums up the humanity and character of the late Senator McCain, who will be mourned deeply on both sides of the political aisle. He embodied a more moderate brand of conservatism -- one that could separate politics and friendship -- that now feels distant and very much missed.

I guess we can all be thankful that Hillary was never a Navy pilot ... because I'm sure they would have competed for the number of lost aircraft they had to their credit.

More than made up for in lost lives on the ground.

Sorry, I would have normally known that you were, but am extra sensitive in these times. Everything is polarized, it is hard to stay centered.

Man, I am having an AWESOME time these days.

Talk to me during the Obama years and I would be in this place. I know the enemy is doubling down on their attacks. They wouldn’t be if they were winning the war.

In fact, I’m spending my “obama savings” (The stuff I socked away in preparation of Obama totally ruining the country) and using it to travel this year. I’m touring the country !

Not surprised that Hillary won the vodka shots contest.
