The always classy Ed Schultz, who worshipped at the altar of Teddy “Chivas On The Rocks” Kennedy, seems to think John Boehner has a drinking problem.
The always classy Ed Schultz, who worshipped at the altar of Teddy “Chivas On The Rocks” Kennedy, seems to think John Boehner has a drinking problem.
Schultz: Yeah, why waste a dinner on John Boehner when he’s probably only going to bring a bottle of Ripple anyway? Yeah, he’s a cheap wine guy. Lot of stuff doesn’t get reported, but he’s a cheap wine guy. I don’t know if you knew that or not. Well, maybe he’ll bring Boone’s Farm.
We’re waiting for Schultz to report the story of Boehner driving his car off a bridge and killing a girl or Boehner being involved in a “waitress sandwich” with Chris Dodd or Boehner getting so drunk that he doesn’t recall his nephew committing rape.
Apparently, Schultz is an elitist and his real problem is that Boehner’s drink of choice isn’t something classy like Chivas and that Boehner doesn’t repeatedly embarrass himself in public like the Lion of the Senate did oh-so-many times.
This is not a story about Michelle’s reported drinking problem. It’s a story about her belly hanging over the edge of the table in this Newsweek cover photo.

OK, so maybe we’re nitpicking. But if she’s going to continue lecturing us about childhood obesity and the evils of fast food, maybe she should remember that old saying about glass houses.
It’s nice to see that ol’ Kennedy legacy living on in young Patrick Kennedy. We refer, of course, to the cherished get-shitfaced-before-give-a-speech-in-public legacy.
It’s nice to see that ol’ Kennedy legacy living on in young Patrick Kennedy. We refer, of course, to the cherished get-shitfaced-before-give-a-speech-in-public legacy.
Young Patrick Kennedy, the last remaining Kennedy in congress, fulfilled his destiny on Tuesday when he gave this angry, slurred, incoherent speech on the floor of the House:
“You want to know why the American public is fit? They’re fit because they’re not seeing their Congress do the work that they’re sent to do. It’s because the press, the press of the United States is not covering the most significant issue of national importance and that’s the laying of lives down in the nation for the service of our country. It’s despicable, the national press corps right now.”
Now comes a story that the President may have his own drinking problem. At least that’s what we read between the lines of his annual physical.
Many months ago, the National Enquirer suggested that Michelle Obama might have a drinking problem. Yeah, yeah, we know. It was just the National Enquirer. But after its success with the John Edwards story, the Enquirer’s gained a bit of cred.
Now comes a story that the President may have his own drinking problem. At least that’s what we read between the lines of his annual physical.
The Guardian UK reports the alcohol-fueled speculation:
Obama is sensitive about his cigarette habit and tetchy with reporters who raise it. But after his 90-minute medical at the Navy hospital outside Washington yesterday morning, his doctors confirmed he had not yet managed to conquer the habit and suggested he “continue smoking cessation efforts”…
…The doctors also recommended “moderation of alcohol intake”.
Why did Obama’s doctors have to recommend moderation of alcohol intake? Are Michelle and Barack sitting around the White House in their underwear pounding down 12-packs? Is the President consuming too much alcohol while toasting heads of state at his nearly-nightly White House parties?
And then there’s this item. Obama called the Canadian Prime Minister and bet him a case of beer on the outcome of the Olympic gold medal hockey game. Yes, you read that correctly. The President of the United States bet the Canadian Prime Minister a case of beer.
President Obama owes his Canadian counterpart, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a case of Pottsville-brewed Yuengling beer.
Obama bet Harper a case of Yuengling – from “America’s Oldest Brewery,” D.G. Yuengling & Son Inc. – on the outcome of the U.S.-Canada gold medal Winter Olympics hockey game Sunday in Vancouver, British Columbia.
For his part, Harper put up a case of Molson, from Canada’s oldest brewery.
And then there was the widely-heralded Beer Summit the President held at the White House.
Viewed individually these incidents seem insignificant, but put them all together and a disturbing image begins to emerge.
The bottom line here is that we don’t know if the President of the United States is hitting the bottle. But we do know that his policies are driving millions of American taxpayers to drink.
Nancy Pelosi’s alcohol tab reads like a dream order for some wild frat party: Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey … and Corona beer.
Princess Pelosi demands that you spend more on her booze than you spend on your house
Bill Clinton may have felt your pain, but it appears that Nancy Pelosi’s feeling no pain. She couldn’t be if she’s consuming al the alcohol she demands for her weekly cross-country flights on the taxpayer’s dime.
World Net Daily offers up the remarkable details:
It reads like a dream order for some wild frat party: Maker’s Mark whiskey, Courvoisier cognac, Johnny Walker Red scotch, Grey Goose vodka, E&J brandy, Bailey’s Irish Crème, Bacardi Light rum, Jim Beam whiskey, Beefeater gin, Dewars scotch, Bombay Sapphire gin, Jack Daniels whiskey … and Corona beer.
But that single receipt makes up just part of the more than $101,000 taxpayers paid for “in-flight services” – including food and liquor, for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trips on Air Force jets over the last two years. That’s almost $1,000 per week.
Documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by Judicial Watch, which investigates and prosecutes government corruption, show that the Pelosi incurred expenses of some $2.1 million for her use of Air Force jets for travel over that time.
Combine this with the fleet of luxurious jets that sit at Congress’ disposal and you have the makings of a really fun weekend for American royalty members of Pelosi’s retinue.
Nancy Pelosi puts the party in the Democratic party. As usual, they’re drinking the alcohol, but the American taxpayers are left with the hangover.
Malaysia recently sentenced a woman to caning for drinking a cold, frosty one. But, since Islam is the religion of peace, the Sharia courts granted a Ramadan reprieve.
Pre-Ramadan training camp now underway for Malaysia's all-star caners.
The country that alerted us to the spread of H1N1 by homosexuals is now putting the whip down–or the cane down–on beer drinking women.
Malaysia recently sentenced a woman to caning for drinking a cold, frosty one. But, since Islam is the religion of peace, the Sharia courts granted a Ramadan reprieve.
Thankfully, for the millions of caning fans out there, the thrashing will happen after the Islamic holiday. Ramadan is a month-long period of fasting. The Islamic judges may be worried that the caners might be a little weak from the lack of food to deliver a good whuppin’ witha rattan rod.
Amnesty International condemns caning, unless it’s being performed on former Bush administration officials.
Michelle Obama – cracking under the pressure of being First Lady – is drinking way more than she should, friends fear.
"So tell me, Lizzie, where can a gal get a glass of warm Guinness around here?"
If it weren’t for the National Enquirer’s outstanding work on the John Edwards “Baby Mama” story, this new story would easy to laugh off. But nobody’s laughing. Especially Barack Obama.
Michelle Obama – cracking under the pressure of being First Lady – is drinking way more than she should, friends fear.
Longtime pals have been keeping a close eye on her White House booze intake for months, sources told The ENQUIRER, and her husband President Barack Obama even stepped in when she recently consumed too much alcohol.
“When Barack saw Michelle drink more than she should at a recent dinner, he hit the roof. He told her, ‘This is NOT going to turn into a problem!'” a close source told The ENQUIRER.
“Barack is overly sensitive to the issue because of his own past drinking and substance abuse problems. But he also feels guilty because of the pictures taken of him drinking beer at an NBA game recently.”
The President also feels he may have contributed to his wife’s alcohol issues by not stopping her from overindulging during their date night in New York City on May 30.
Michelle, 45, knocked back “a glass or two of champagne” while the couple flew to the Big Apple on a private jet, according to the close source, and published reports said she downed two martinis during dinner at the Greenwich Village restaurant Blue Hill.
“It was clear that Mrs. Obama was having a VERY good time,” a restaurant employee told The ENQUIRER.
“There’s a real fear that she may be drinking more than she should as a result of the pressures that come along with being First Lady,” an insider divulged.
It looks like “Last call” are the First Lady’s least favorite words.
This is one of those stories that’s so friggin’ unbelievable that our initial inclination was to think it was a joke.
Unfortunately, the joke’s on us.
Here’s how CNSNews.com reports it:
“The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, part of the National Institutes of Health, will pay $2.6 million in U.S. tax dollars to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly on the job. ‘The purpose of the project is to try and develop an intervention program targeting HIV risk and alcohol use,’ Dr. Xiaoming Li, the researcher conducting the program, told CNSNews.com. The grant, made last November, is one of several ‘international initiatives’ sponsored by NIH.”
