One for the end of the road? Merry Clinton knocks back whisky on campaign plane (Pics0

Hillary Clinton took time out from her punishing campaign schedule to enjoy a glass of whiskey with a group of journalists.

The Democratic presidential hopeful was flying back from Rapid City in South Dakota, one of the few states yet to hold its primary when she decided to let her hair down a little.

Her relaxed mood may give rise to speculation she is preparing to concede to her Democratic rival Barak Obama.

Hillary is a party animal.

:) It's been a looong epic campaign!

but, then, you don't usually do that in front of the media...

Explains much about her campaign. My beloved sister died at age 48 because of alcohol, Hillary should get some help.

That was a funny but extremely sad video..

only if she ends up like Lindsay Lohan!

She was acting way too thirsty at that bar photo op. I've seen it in RL too.

99 bottle of whiskey on the wall..

Remember how she went from near falling over drunk to, 'Indy Catch' and digging the medallion out of the fire. With that much alcohol in me, I'd be afraid to be anywhere near an open flame :rofl:

Spontaneous combustion :rofl: I always thought that too...

Great minds think alike...or demented ones :rofl:

Yeah, we getcha, Hillary, you drink just like a man. She's like a fucking sorority girl trying to impress the frat boys at the kegger. Give it a fucking rest already.

(providing MI and Florida arent seated of course)

Inquiring minds want to know!

After next week, she'll dive head-first into a bottle of Crown Royal and save the velvet pouch for her bitter tears.

I don't know, there's something about a past-middle aged woman drinking like this... making it public like this that seems a bit sad.

I'm suprised she didn't do it sooner! McCain did say that HRC drank him under the table during a senatorial trip to Russia

and I don't begrudge her some serious time off once this is done. But it isn't done yet, at least according to her;)

I don't know... I'm a 51yo woman, my friends and I have different ways of relaxing now than we did when we were, say 25yo. Throwing back a few cold ones with a bunch of guys you've just met in a bar just seems a tad bit immature, undignified maybe, for a woman of my age. I can't really find the words I am searching for, so I guess I'll stop here before I offend anyone or make an dope of myself:blush:

was to wipe out all the lies she spews when
she's not drinking. hilary gets no fucking
quarter from me.

You and I have the same position on Clinton. I'm not an unforgiving person. But I am territorial.

prize and the prize is a drink in her hands.

The way she focuses on the drink is creepy to the Senior Woman. Lshrug:

at least this time I suppose it could be said that these are her co-workers.... but why do it in front of the cameras? I just don't get it....

this is an election and she is trying to win every vote, it can't be any worse than O's '37' bowling photo-op

I guess it's different when you can't control yourself

I don't see why having a drink in public is sad. I've always heard that it's generally solitary drinkers who have a drinking problem. I haven't heard any reports about her being intoxicated on the campaign trail and I'm sure it would have made the news if she had been.

see the current occupant for reference

And 'remembering' sniper fire after a FLIGHT, gives a hint that this isn't the first plane ride with merry drinks in hand.

And basically everything a candidate does is "public".

Candidate's and the reporters assigned to cover their campaigns effectively live with each other for months. That they would have a drink at the end of the day together is hardly surprising and not in the least pathetic. As for the "past middle aged woman" remark -- well, I'm just going to hope that doesn't reflect some view on your part that a "past middle aged woman" should be held to a different standard than a "past middle aged man". And I doubt anyone would think a 60 year old public figure having a drink with a bunch of reporter (or having a drink on other occasions where drinking is going on) is somehow "pathetic."

I'm an Obama supporter who worried when this thread was started that it would bring out puritan/moralist posts criticizing HRC for drinking or claiming that because she's been photographed having a drink on a few occasions she must have a drinking problem.

Lighten up already.

and I'd say I defintely didn't stop soon enough... see my post #24:)

It would be different if she was getting hammered every week in public

Its quarter to three,
Theres no one in the place cept you and me
So set em up joe
I got a little story I think you oughtta know

Were drinking my friend
To the end of an episode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

I know the routine
Put another quarter in that there machine
Im feeling so bad
Wont you make the music easy and sad

I could tell you a lot
But you gotta to be true to your code
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road

Youd never know it
But buddy Im a kind of poet
And Ive got a lot of things I wanna say
And if Im gloomy, please listen to me
Till its all, all talked away

Well, thats how it goes
And joe I know youre gettin anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didnt mind
My bending your ear

But this torch that I found
Its gotta be drowned
Or it might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_for_My_Baby_(and_One_More_for_the_Road)

Oh, wait...

.

Kidding of course. I would be drinking too under their pressure..

Closing time
Open all the doors and let you out into the world
Closing time
Turn all of the lights on over every boy and every
girl
Closing time
One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or
beer
Closing time
You don't have to go home but you can't stay here

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
Closing time
This room won't be open till your brothers or your
sisters come
So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other
beginning's end

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home

Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other
beginning's end

:shrug: After a long tough day I'm known to have a drink or two.

...and for the life of me I cannot see anything wrong with either of these pictures.

The SNL writing staff must have been passed out on the floor

Forget it its over...but,in the second one she looks as though she is really drunk,crying or just plan losing it.. This is really sad, I hope she really isn't losing her mind...

16 months of flying, speaking, shaking hands etc. It has to take a toll eventually

who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out consume
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'bout the raisin' of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will
after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away,
'alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
and Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am."

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.



Cheers, Senator Clinton! Nothing wrong with having an adult beverage.
