Hillary pounds one down...

Posted: Sunday, April 13, 2008 10:18 AM by Mark Murray

From NBC's Christina Jamison
We've seen candidates have a beer, but Clinton had a shot of Crown Royal -- with an Old Style beer chaser -- at the Bronko Restaurant and Lounge in Crown Point, IN yesterday.  The senator took a small sip from the shot glass, then tossed the rest of the shot back.

Correct me if I am wrong , but alcohol is prohibited in the christianity that Hillary practises right ?

Or does Hillary's god permits a shot as long as she can get the votes of the men who love their scotch  
I am not surprised.
She is so tough.
Yeah, I wonder why she didn't drink it all. It looks like she really needed it because she is losing so badly.
Charming! If she ever got to the White House again, do we need to worry about Saturday night pub crawls? Or is this just pandering to us poor, dumb yokels Hill?
Well, if Clinton is going to pander by suddenly becoming a beer-swilling, gun-toting, shot-taking woman of the people, I think Obama should pander by pointing out that Crown Royal is a Canadian whiskey.

Oy. The ridiculousness of this campaign is just killing me.
That's my girl!
Well, you know, if the outright lies don't work, you know, have a shot, you know, with your "peeps" in the bar and, you know, maybe some people will, you know, fall for it and vote for you---NOT
The Clintons need a distraction from their upcoming campaign finance fraud lawsuit and Hillary's deposition:

Also Hillary has been a major supporter of gun control.  She tries to act like one of the good ol' boys.  The Clintons have pretended to be for the working class, African Americans, and Hispanics, but just do it for votes. They were condescending, and rude, to their Whitehouse staff.  That says more than any phony stump speech.  
Hillary is really getting desperate.  Next, I expect to see her walking through a corn field wearing camouflage and carrying a shotgun.
can you say 'pan-der-ing'?
Indiana voters will really connect to Hillary with events such as these
will i say she is going to need more to mislead the american people.
Great - First GW, now Hillary. That's no way to get us out of iraq.
That's my girl!  Hillary you're the best...HILLARY '08!
