Ok, I get it. TMZ throws everything they can get against the wall and they see what sticks, but who-the-fuck cares about [THIS](http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/hillary-clinton-parties-colombia-photos-dancing-beer-slugging-142828267.html)? I mean, seriously. Drinking beer out of a bottle!? How dare she! Whiskey! She must associate with whores! She couldn’t be one or hubby wuddena gottena hummer elsewhare. If the secret service “scandal” hadn’t broken this would be meaningless. …and is. Rock on Hillady. I got the next round! ETA: And, NO, I don’t mean the World Health Organization! ---

I care–that she should be drinking whiskey, instead of Colombian rum or aquardiente. However, seeing our Secretary of State with a bottle of Aguila in her hand shows that she knows how to conduct affairs of state with appropriate aplomb. If she had been photographed with a bottle of Costeñita, she would have been laughed out of the summit. There is nothing like an Aguila in the middle of a hot Cartagena night. Nothing. Under those conditions, no beer can taste better. ---

Well, for one thing, it helps her image. She’s often been seen as a bit of a stick in the mud. And, since it’s Colombia, it probably is being used to imply she did more than just boozing. ---

Are there also topless pics of her in a G-String on the beach doing a big line of coke? I mean, THAT would be partying in Colombia, wouldn’t it? ---

The after-dinner drinks went so well— memories are a bit hazy on who drank how much—that Mr. McCain, an Arizona Republican, later told people how unexpectedly engaging he found Mrs. Clinton to be.

Nobody. There’s no sense in getting defensive about it. And let’s not forget we already saw her drink during the 2008 campaign. > [@BigT](#): > > Well, for one thing, it helps her image. She’s often been seen as a bit of a stick in the mud. I enjoyed the “Texts from Hillary” thing precisely because I thought it was nice that she was seen as hip for a couple of minutes.
