Well we all know candidate's love their photo ops.. whether it's the Commander in Chief on the aircraft carrier ( "Mission Accomplished " anyone ? ) or Barack playing basketball with Bryant Gumbel or John McCain going to Iraq... but Hillary knocking back shots of whiskey in some blue collar bar in Pennsylvania ? Puhlease.. is she that desperate to show she's a 'regular gal' that she has to start drinking in public ?  Having been married to Mr. Bill so long, it's virtual certainly she's a heavy drinker i private... but....on the campaign trail ???Actually, she just kinda took a girly sip of it, but that's not the point. I just can't see how the candidates figure that having TV crews around while the engage is the behavior of the moment is going to somehow sway INTELLIGENT voters that they're the one ... ... oh maybe that's it.... how dumb of me..

Dude why are you firing an automatic? Isn't that reserved for the good and all-knowing government?

Phil,

Maybe she was auditioning for a "Girls Gone Wild" video shoot! Yep, that's it! Hillary goes hog wild for the "Girls Gone Wild" girls in politics video shoot! Can she chug a pitcher of beer down in 2 seconds? How many shots of whiskey can she take? With all the wisecracks I'm writing here, am I going to get chewed out by the other readers, or generate some laughs? Will someone's computer get splattered with a rotten tomato?

Chimpchan,

I think we're gonna need an automatic to protect ourselves, the way the ape gangs are running around us! I can't wait to read Phil's responses!

Hey Phil --

Love the photo. Let me toast your expert marksmanship (and readers, he really is a good marksman) with a shot (the booze kind) and a beer chaser ala Hillary.

Cheers, Bob

That's it, Phil...it's the not so "intelligent" voters she's trying to sway. There's always an untapped demo.
Great. Now I'm thirsty.
One question...was the cell phone loaded?

A beer and a couple of shots isnt anything for a long time drug runner like Hillary, but now she puts it in your face. Testimony that the clintons have been running drugs into this country for decades:

How thirsty are you?
How far down the rabbit hole are you willing to go as an alleged "Informed" voter ?

Are you really informed or just think you are?

We are headed straight into the belly of the New World Order.

Problem, reaction, solution .....

They ship in the drugs, get the kids hooked on it, then use the crisis they created to up the police state, triple the size of the BATF, then arrest the kids, then the courts put them in the private prisons owned by the banks that launder the money.

You cant prove Im wrong and Hillary is just the one for Bush to pass the torch off to so they can continue their dream of a new world order.

Excuse me Erica. Smart people drink a fine American product as well, so please don't try to stick your foot in the dung pile of Tinselturdum. Maybe she is drinking so what. People have consumed whiskey for hundreds of years and beer as well. It is when someone consumes excesses and then breaks laws. Otherwise, prohibition never worked, never will. Erica, you need to lighten up a bit.

I must say, when I saw her take the sip I was thinking to myself, "oh god... she's trying to get reactions but she can't even finish the damn shot". Bu then she tossed it back and I thought to myself "well alright! That was rad, too bad I still hate her with every fiber of my being!" Forgive me father for I am a Whiskey man...

I agree though Phil, theres no need to have cameras around with her while shes bar hopping, thats dumb. But I don't have a problem with her actually drinking as some people might and do.

Phil...with that photo it's safe to say that I'm very afraid of you right now.

The point was made that Hillary's whiskey-chugging ways are for the dopey voters of Pennsylvania, so she can prove to them that she's a "regular gal" who tosses down whiskey and does other "everyday" activities that the rest of us do.

Jack Daniels anyone?

This Land, wouldn't that be pot? Since it just grows? And no I don't smoke pot, but I do drink. Just a thought.

This is a picture of me at the DEA firing range near Castaic. It's an automatic weapon...what agents use when things get serious. I'm not a 'gun person 'but it was a fun and different day for a story on the DEA 's Citizens Academy..." I "killed" a guy who pulled a gun..oops.. a cell phone out of his waistband when I was serving a 'search warrant..." Gives me more insight into cops challenges.... I'm a news reporter here at Fox 11.. been in LA since '83... aside from the traffic it's awesome.. why wouldn't you want to live here ? I have a great job.. the people here are fun... I get to do what we call ''long form'' stories, investigations, half hour specials.. we can really get into some serious issues here... ( no not Britney). Someday i hope to meet Jillian. Later.
