"She's a girl from Illinois who likes to throw 'em down with the rest of us."

[RedEarth]

Terry McAuliffe is on a roll today, telling MSNBC:

"She loves to sit, throw 'em back. So to me this is nothin' new. We all hear about the story that she and John McCain actually had a shot contest, I think in the Ukraine or somewhere around the world. And she actually beat John McCain in a shot contest. She's a girl from Illinois who likes to throw 'em down with the rest of us."

1. There is NOTHING that they won't say or do to win this thing.

Somebody end this before they end up harming themselves with their ridiculousness.

[hisownpetard]

12. Waaay too late for that. They've already harmed themselves irreparably in my eyes.

[olkaz]

24. I was talking about them physically harming themselves.

If they're this disconnected from reality, it's likely that they'll start running with scissors.

[Erin Elizabeth]

31. Someone's gonna pierce an organ soon, I agree.

[flpoljunkie]

44. McAuliffe told Andrea Mitchell today,"They tell me they're going to vote 'Democrat.'"

McAuliffe was on MSNBC talking with Andrea Mitchell telling her that Republicans come up to him in the airport and elsewhere and say they are "going to vote 'Democrat.'"

A naked appeal to "Operation Chaos?"

[PoliticalAmazon]

63. If Hillary supporters ever played them like $2 marks on the Saturday night before the rent is due...

...they will come after her with pitch-forks and torches.

[BattyDem]

2. How many states is she from?

:shrug:

[Debi]

19. Wasn't Wolfson just saying she was from New York...

after the DNC member from Indiana jumped to Obama Wolfson questioned him being FROM Indiana and said Hillary was from New York.

[BattyDem]

27. I thought she was from Pennsylvania ... or is it Arkansas

I'm so confused! :crazy:

[Debi]

39. You forgot one of the first debates - she's from Chicago!

x(

[Erin Elizabeth]

42. I can help.

She was born in Pennsylvania, but Ohio is her ancestral home, Illinois is her spiritual home, Arkansas is her "corporate" home and New York.....she hasn't figured out what New York is yet.

[hisownpetard]

51. Thanks for clarifying that.

:toast:

[Leopolds Ghost]

46. Time for Woody Allen to make a sequel to ZELIG

http://www.uwm.edu/~wash/zelig.html

This early-1980s Woody Allen film illustrates classical notions of sociality with precision and humor. Filmed in black-and-white newsreel format, it presents the strange case of Leonard Zelig the chameleon-man who surfaced in the 1930s with the very unusual trait of turning into whomever he talked to. If Zelig talked to fat people, he grew fat. If he talked to tall people, he became tall. If Indian, Jewish, Hindu, then he became Indian, Jewish and Hindu. In himself, however, he was nothing at all. Leonard Zelig was without personal substance. Enter his psychiatrist, played by Mia Farrow, whose job it was to reveal to Leonard his own unique personality. Ultimately her therapy was so successful that Leonard became a person who not only ceased resembling the people he talked to, but had so little in common with them, that he could even tolerate their presence. From a man who was devoid of individuality, Zelig became a man who was nothing but individuality. In the end, it is clear that humans are neither self-grounded individuals, nor instantiation of a larger community. What they are remains a puzzle.

[K8-EEE]

Oh, barf.

I mean really. Just when you think that campaign can't get any tackier it's time to brag about drinking and offer to buy your vote for 30 cents a day.

[Triana]

3. 'Hick' - that's all we need is another DRUNK in the White House. n/t

[KittyWampus]

25. maybe she's trying to win over the Spring-Break crowd. Wet T-shirt contest is nex†.

[Triana]

26. Well. There goes my lunch. n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

4. Yeah. But how'd she do in the tobacco spittin' contest?

[Erin Elizabeth]

5. So.....does she have a drinking problem?

Is this yet another parallel between Clinton and Bush?

Or is this supposed to be some sort of dysfunctional way of proving how tough she is?

Seriously, I don't get it. I don't find the ability to win "shot contests" an impressive characteristic of a potential president. Sorry.

[madmunchie]

6. i thought that she was from Arkansas? No, wait PA...Oh, darn I mean NY!!!!

[Erin Elizabeth]

10. That's a good question, where the hell IS she from?

[scheming daemons]

7. Did anybody notice in the famous PA video of the "shot" that she only took a small sip....

...and never finished it?

[jenmito]

8. Yeah. I saw McAuliffe say that. Of course she's NOW from IL since it's next to IN.

:eyes:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

9. Why the hell is a 60 y/o woman referred to as a "girl"?

[nomorenomore08]

16. Probably for the same reason Bush was characterized as a "good-ol'-boy."

To make people forget that the person they're voting for is an elderly (or borderline elderly) authority figure.

[bunnies]

22. She referrs to herself that way. Thats why. nt

[JVS]

11. I've known some real degenerates in my life, but even they never did shot drinking contests

We organized one once, but then one of the contestants came in drunk and wanted us to put 10 on his scoreboard from the start. As judge of the event, I said it would not be legitimate to do so.

[City Lights]

13. She's a girl again?

:eyes:

With testicular fortitude.

:eyes:

But Obama's supporters are sexists.

:eyes:

[Erin Elizabeth]

20. She's a GIRL WITH BALLS!

And she's from Illinois! And Pennsylvania! And Ohio (wait that's her ancestral home)! And New York! And Arkansas!

Ever now and then, she craves a plug of chaw, cuz she may be a tuff girl, but she can hang with the boyz and scratch her huge nuts with the BEST OF THEM! She's scratching her nuts in Illinois and Pennsylvania and Ohio and New York and Arkansas and right about now, she could use a slug of Wild Turkey, d'ya mind?

[City Lights]

40. LOL!

:thumbsup:

[alcibiades_mystery]

43. Not balls: Fortitudinous testicles

:rofl:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

32. Colbert calls lady balls "Thatchers"

[Starbucks Anarchist]

35. LOL!

[City Lights]

55. And I'm sure Margaret would be the first to tell Stephen that any woman

who has surrogates out running around bragging about their "girl" having "Thatchers" surely has fakes. ;-)

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

14. And then her and Indy found the Ark of the Covenant!

Yeah! That's the ticket!

[Erin Elizabeth]

37. Except didn't that lady keep throwing her likker on the ground

when they weren't looking?

Wonder if that's what Hillary does.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

41. Oh no.

I have no problem believing the binge drinking part of this story.

[undeterred]

15. Girl from Illinois who likes to throw down men?

Yeah, I'm originally from IL, and I throw 'em down every chance I get. :evilgrin: I don't drink at all, however.

[anigbrowl]

17. I only regret that I have but one liver to lose for my country

Good thing winter is over. She might have challenged Barack to write his name in the snow.

[Erin Elizabeth]

23. With her large penis?

:rofl:

God, I must be punchy. This thread is giving me a horrible case of giggles.

[JVS]

30. And her three balls that Carville attests to!

[Erin Elizabeth]

36. You know what? I have an idea.

Instead of all this primary shit, let's just have a "Show Us Your Junk" contest and the most impressive junk, male or female or shemale, wins.

Man, back in the day if we had used this, Milton Berle would have been president for like 22 years. They say when asked how big it was erect, he said he didn't know because he always passed out. It would have been great times. He'd have scared all the other country's leaders just by busting that shit out.

[JVS]

45. Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the United States of America

[Erin Elizabeth]

48. Ok I seriously choked on my Clif Bar.

:rofl:

Hey good times, man. Sodomy would have been legal IMMEDIATELY (and in some places, mandatory). KY Corporation gets HUGE tax breaks.

Alabama Hot Pockets and Dirty Sanchezes all around, people!

(Just kidding, those last two are DISGUSTING.)

[Debi]

70. Jesus....

:puke: WHY did I look those up????? x(

[Erin Elizabeth]

71. Oh damn. NEVER look stuff like that up.

Never.

I have decided to refuse to believe that anyone does such things. That's how I deal with it.

[Debi]

72. Oh good

:hi: That works for me!

[bunnies]

18. wasnt that shot contest thing debunked ages ago?

McCrazy said it never happened from what I recall.

[JackORoses]

21. Calamity Hill can piss standing up, too!!!

[Erin Elizabeth]

28. Hey man don't JOKE ABOUT THAT!

The P-Mate is FER REAL!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfL8-AgWBf0

[Basement Beat]

29. Do people honestly care...

whether a President can take shots???

[ShortnFiery]

33. As a former Addiction Counselor, I take issue with Terry bragging about HRC *abusing alcohol* ...

Taking shots (throw 'em down) is a DANGEROUS way to imbibe adult beverages.

If it were Obama doing shots with beer chasers, MADD would go ballistic! :thumbsdown:

[GoesTo11]

38. An average sized woman who can outdrink an old air force pilot?

That's actually a little too much drinking ability. It's not a flattering picture at all.

[Kaylee]

34. Oh fer christ sake.....

Sure, forget all that book-lernin'...let's have a shot contest and determine the next President!


:banghead:

[ShortnFiery]

47. Why does HRC "get a pass" ABUSING ALCOHOL on National TV? Taking shots is NOT social drinking!

I'm disgusted that a**hole machismo pundits, e.g., Tweety and Joey the Scar, think this is COOL!?!

WTF is the matter with our "illustrious" Forth Estate when they depict (even a woman) a Politician as "in touch" when they ABUSE ALCOHOL (down shots) with beer chasers? :grr:

[madmunchie]

50. It depends on who you socialize with.

[TomClash]

49. I really don't want some drunk as President

Who cares if she likes to "throw 'em down?"

[Erin Elizabeth]

53. Yeah, haven't we done that already?

[TomClash]

60. LOL nt

[whistler162]

52. Me thinks....

Terry McAuliffe has been drinking to much of his hometown lake water!

[liberaldem4ever]

54. I guess I am out of touch with the rest of America

I want my President to be a respectable grownup who is able to make clear headed decisions that affect my family and our country. I want someone who the world can look up to and trust. What the hell is up with this "our President should be someone who we can go hunting with, and drink beer with"? That is the least of what I'm looking for in a President. The thing I'm looking for in a President who is intelligent and is trustworthy and honest. What are people really looking for in a President anymore?

[burythehatchet]

65. oh you darned elitists are all alike

;)

[mamalone]

68. I'm with you....

Personally, when I saw the pics of Hillary doing shots I was repulsed. I am a middle-aged woman as she is, and I was embarrassed for her. On what planet is the "ability" to consume alcoholic beverages an asset?

[Connie_Corleone]

56. We don't need another alcoholic in the White House. nt

[casus belli]

57. I think he's got the drinking contest from the opening scenes of Indiana Jones...

...confused with reality. Drinking contest with McCain in the Ukraine? C'mon man.

edit: just now noticed bornaginhooligan's post. Didn't mean to steal your thunder ;)

[GoesTo11]

58. How can she answer the 3AM phone call after all those shots?

[B Calm]

67. No kidding, a drunk and hung over president answering that 3 am phone call!

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

59. She just lost the temperence vote. n/t

[Bread and Circus]

61. We've been in idiot land for a while now, thanks to Hillary's coterie of assbrains...

Carville, Penn, McAuliffe, Wolfson, Ickes...

Please let the pain stop.

[Vinca]

62. Yep, just what this country needs. Another lush in the White House. nt

[burythehatchet]

64. maybe Bill started cheating on her because of her drinking

[BlooInBloo]

66. I know that's who I want answering the phone at 3am.

[On the Road]

69. Now, if She Sat Down

and smoked a joint with Robert Downey Jr, I might actually vote for her.

:smoke:
