Hillary at the bar
John McCain did "Hardball" at Villanova today, and a student -- in reference to the recent photos of Hillary Clinton doing (or possibly sipping) a whiskey shot at Bronko's restaurant in Crown Point, Indiana -- asked him, "I was wondering if you think that she's finally resorted to hitting the sauce just because of some unfavorable polling. And I was also wondering if you would care to join me for a shot after this?"
Heh.
That reminds me: I have a proposal for Hillary Clinton. As you all know, I've soured on her rather severely in recent months, and at this point, I'd be pretty hard-pressed to vote for her under any circumstances. However, there is one thing that might make me change my tune. Hilldog, if you'll go to The Backer, order one of their terrible yet potent Long Islands, and get yourself photographed and videotaped singing the "God Bless the USA" followed by the Notre Dame Victory March (yes, this would mean staying until -- ahem -- 3:00 AM), I might consider switching my allegiance. :)
P.S. Possible campaign ad: "It's 3:00 AM, and your children are safe and asleep. But Hillary Clinton is wide awake, if slightly tipsy, singing patriotic music while swaying back and forth in a circle of townies* in South Bend, Indiana. Suddenly, a cell phone rings -- the cab is here. Who do you want answering that phone? The elitist snob Barack Obama, who will jump in the cab at the earliest opportunity to get away from the 'bitter' townsfolk, and miss the Victory March? Or Hillary Clinton, the woman who respects your traditions, who'll tell the cabbie to wait ten minutes so she can stay right through to the end of 'Oh What A Night'? Make the right choice: Vote for Hillary Clinton on May 6. [slurred Hillary voiceover: 'I'm Hilllary Clinton and I (hiccup) approve this message.']"
*Why townies, you ask? Because the Domers are too "elitist," of course! ;)
LOL @ her eyes!

Hillary's shot: this time a Clinton truly did not inhale.

The student who asked the question is Peter Doocy...the son of FOX anchor Steve Doocy.

According to an LA Times/Bloomberg poll, Obama is 5 points ahead of Hillary in Indiana. Apparently Hoosiers ARE upset about the Canadian hootch!

I suspect that McCain, being a Navy man, could drink that punk's ass under the table, and most of the rest of his posse, too.

According to McCain's autobiography, which I'm currently reading, he certainly could (at least back in the day).

Brendan, that ad idea is hilarious. Surely, there has to be a reader on here with the know-how to produce it. I'm sure we can cull the required Backer pics from miscellaneous Facebook profiles and photoshop her in...
Maybe it'd be even better if Barack really wants to stay, but Michelle pulls him out the door as "I'm Proud to Be an American" starts playing...
