According to John McCain, Hillary Clinton is just “one of the guys.”
The only way Hillary Clinton could get ahead in politics was to join the boys’ club, or the boys’ club isn’t really a club for just boys.
Clinton earned this rap during one of her many congressional trips with McCain. While the two were on a trip to Estonia in August 2004, Clinton proposed an after dinner drinking game. McCain, the delegation leader, readily agreed according to NYT.
Although McCain denies his participation, his representatives claimed, “John had two drinks,” and McCain commented, “[Clinton] can really hold her liquor.”
McCain and Clinton surely seem to be buddies.
During their 2005 trip to Iraq, they both said the other would be a good president. “Meet the Press” asked if McCain thought Clinton would make a good president, and Mccain responded, “I happen to be a Republican and would support, obviously, a Republican nominee, but I have no doubt that Senator Clinton would make a good president.” When asked the same question about McCain, Clinton immediately responded, “Absolutely.”
Are you comfortable with that mutual support?
And is Clinton’s tolerance of alcohol what makes her one of the guys? Or her tolerance of sexism? (more…)
