It’s not hard to get Hillary to do things that will make her look like one of the guys, if not better. During the 2008 primaries she tried to connect with Wisconsin voters by relating how, the first time she went hunting, she shot poor Daffy right out of the sky, much to the astonishment of the men who’d expected her to fail.
In a similar vein, she told about how she challenged John McCain to a drinking contest while the two were on a congressional tour of Estonia, and beat him after downing four shots of vodka. “She’s a girl from Illinois who likes to throw ’em down with the rest of us,” said her campaign manager.
Senator McCain admitted to having a couple of drinks, but denied there’d been a contest. Yet so fond was Hillary of this tale, she repeated it on a clip which she posted on her Facebook page. Look at the woman in this video, people. Doesn’t quite look like she could walk a straight line, does she?
Hillary Clinton continued to drink her way through the 2008 primary season. There was an excruciatingly embarrassing scene at Bronko’s Restaurant and Lounge in Indiana one Saturday night. Mingling with the patrons, she was “cajoled” into downing a shot of Crown Royal whisky. “She sipped at first, but later threw her head back and swallowed it down.” One drink led to another and soon Hillary was under the influence, if not the table. She called for the Mayor of Hammond. “Tom, Tom, come sit down.” But the Mayor was somewhere else. “My campaign drives people to drink,” she said truthfully. In vino veritas. “Every time I get around you we always start drinking,” said the Mayor when he finally showed up. Poor man. We understand how this could happen.
