Sounds pretty drunk to me, but who knows. Could be anything.

I see Matt Drudge is doing his bang up job in journalism again.

This could be anything, doesn't mean he was drink. Do you think they'd really let him into the place if he was pissed?

schmiss December 28 2009, 18:32:23 UTC

Yeah I can't believe Drudge is still relevant to some people. But the fact that Politico is all up on his dick is nothing new.

I hope his pick up techniques have at least improved over the years.

Politico always act like someone's pissing on their leg.

I think that might actually work to foster bipartisanship. Also, everyone would boo through Lieberman's "I love you guys, sheriously, you're the beeest" tirade.

I have a feeling they'd just end up running through DC, naked & screaming "I'D GET KNOCKED DOWN BUT I GET JUST AGAIN YOU AIN'T NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN"

Oh, please. You want drunk? Boehner was ON HIS ASS all through the first senate healthcare debate. You didn't hear the Dems say anything (well, except for here on the live post :).

"How Drunk is Boehner" is a time honored CSPAN drinking game. Whenever he appears on screen you assess on a scale of 1 to 10 how drunk he is, then you take that many shots. After a few rounds you've killed enough brain cells to work in the Minority Leader's office.

The next time this happens can we make this a live post? Bonus shots if he says "Hell no."

I'm sure there is more than one functional alcoholic in the Senate, but you know I slur my words when I'm really tired, and I can get really punchy-no alcohol required. When I am so exhausted that I feel like I want to cry, I can barely string 2 words together and have them make sense. So, I'm reserving judgement.
