Clinton Takes a Shot of Whiskey in Northwest Indiana

Share

April 12, 2008 9:58 PM

ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton stopped by Bronko’s Restaurant and Lounge in Crown Point, Ind., tonight. Clinton stood by the bar and took a shot of Crown Royal whiskey. She took one sip of the shot, then another small sip, then a few seconds later threw her head back and finished off the whole thing.

Clinton later sat down at a table and enjoyed some pizza and beer, and called over Mayor Tom McDermott of Hammond, Ind., to come join the table.

"Every time I get around you we start drinking, senator,"  the mayor exclaimed.

Clinton nodded and raised her glass.

"It's Saturday night, though, Tom," she said.

The senator was eager to get a slice of pepperoni.

"I got one pepperoni, I think it's cheese and pepperoni," she said.

A fellow diner made a toast in Clinton’s honor and she raised her beer glass and touched the glasses of people sitting at her table. Clinton was looking for a staffer and her seat partner said, "Maybe he’s up at the bar."

"My campaign drives people to drink," Clinton said with a smile.

Then she turned to her ABC and CBS embedded campaign reporters.

"The only bad thing about this wonderful time with you is that every bite I take is recorded for posterity," she said. "These two young people are really very very nice but their job is to get something on film that looks really weird, so I try to accommodate them as much as often."

Great dialogue, LeeLee07! Now, let's have a drink to HILLARY!

Posted by: Emily | Apr 12, 2008 10:16:32 PM

LeeLee07 you are too funny! Great stuff. I advise you to post this on as many blogs as possible.
Thanks for the laugh!

Posted by: Drea | Apr 12, 2008 10:18:10 PM

@Emily -
I really wish I could claim it but I found it on a blog site. But I will have that drink to Hillary with you. Cheers!

Rise, Hillary, Rise! '08

I think I hear the fat lady warming up in the mountains of Pa.

@Drea - You are welcome. Believe me, I intend to post it on every available site - in between sips of this very excellent wine! :D

Rise, Hillary, Rise! '08

Posted by: LeeLee07 | Apr 12, 2008 10:22:04 PM

@LeeLee07:

Just curious, what does "Rise, Hillary, Rise" mean? From the ashes? From the dead? Is she being coronated?

I'm not meaning to be insulting - that is the first time I've seen that used and it strikes me as odd.

Posted by: MIguy | Apr 12, 2008 10:22:07 PM

Was Hillary the Bosnian General drinking on behalf of people in PA who have lost their jobs, their health care plans and pension? That is the way Hill thinks about you and that is the way she sees us through glasses of wiskey. Wake-up people and let us get somebody in the White House who is close to us and think like us. God bless America and God bless Obama.OBAMA08.

Posted by: LeeLee07 | Apr 12, 2008 10:24:19 PM

Why would someone that purports to represent the working class not drink American made liquor during an election year while they are in public?

Posted by: Sindecuse | Apr 12, 2008 10:24:31 PM

Oops, I meant "warming up." See, I told you that wine was excellent! :D

Rise, Hillary, Rise! '08

Posted by: LeeLee07 | Apr 12, 2008 10:26:21 PM

@Sindecuse:

I'm giving away a little to much of myself in knowing this, but Crown Royal whiskey is not US-made. It's Canadian.

Posted by: MIguy | Apr 12, 2008 10:27:04 PM

I knew she was under influence, but now I know of what.

Posted by: Mark Webb | Apr 12, 2008 10:28:51 PM

and I should have added that it doesn't matter where it is made, because who cares. If people could dissociate themselves from their candidate for a moment, I think it's pretty clear that this was done to bring up the idea that people would rather "have a beer" with her than Obama. Should he counter the notion? That's up to him whether it's important.

Posted by: MIguy | Apr 12, 2008 10:30:12 PM

If someone wanted to buy her a shot then that is fine and in that setting could be considered rude to refuse. However, if she is buying herself or others shots, then Clinton really should buy American made liquor. Otherwise, she might as well slap on the Chinese lapel and start waving the Chinese made flag since no worker should be bitter about their lost jobs, right?

Posted by: sindecuse | Apr 12, 2008 10:36:42 PM

@h - wow, you sound extremely agitated! You might want to lay down for a bit, maybe take a chill pill or two or maybe I should just call the men with the butterfly net for you ... smooches! :D

Rise, Hillary, Rise!'08

brother, hillary has a shot of whiskey and now you guys have her as a drunken sot. shame on you......hillary, my glass is raised in your honor.....down the hatch! and have fun....

Posted by: carla sue | Apr 12, 2008 10:41:25 PM

You guys are absurd! How is having a drink in public evidence of "a drinking problem"? How does it make her "a drunk"?

No wonder Obama's ahead... you guys can't even think straight.

Posted by: Texas | Apr 12, 2008 10:43:58 PM

Hey do you think Obama will go on vaction again or out to SF to hang out with his rich friends.

Posted by: Bishop | Apr 12, 2008 10:45:10 PM

Those of you claiming to support Senator Obama: do you really think he would call her a drunk? Clearly he wouldn't.

This is politics and she is trying to look like an average Joe. She may succeed. My guess is you won't see him in a tie anymore until the primary, his sleeves will be rolled up too. He might have a beer, but no shots as that would look too orchestrated.

Posted by: MIguy | Apr 12, 2008 10:48:58 PM

@Carla Sue - I am going to raise my glass to Hillary too... AND I am also wearing my "I am NOT bitter" sticker. Geez, it doesn't get much better than this! :D

Are you talking about Hillary, just because she drank Canadian Wine...I will not go down to that path..wake up!!

OBAMA08!! YES WE CAN!!

Posted by: RC | Apr 12, 2008 10:55:11 PM

just like some of you are trying to call hillary a drunk. i have had water too obama 08....
crown royal is not canadian wine. maybe obama had some of that while he was discussing trade deals with the canadians.
and what about the latest obama 'bitter' comments about PA voters??? what kind of bitter wine was he drinking when he said that.

Posted by: carla sue | Apr 12, 2008 11:00:24 PM

Why are some of you so angry? I don't ascribe to the "venting" is good for you idea - it just makes you more angry.

Posted by: MIguy | Apr 12, 2008 11:02:50 PM

Crown Royal is a VERY famous Canadian Whiskey, Hillary choose something else to drink would you. THIS Canadian doesn't want you ruining our reputation any further. I remember just after 9-11 you appearing on Canadian TV/US TV saying the terrorists all came through Canada. You never did apologize but then YOU NEVER DO! Barack Obama will make a fine neighbouring President of the United States, Hillary stay in the Senate (if they will still have you when this is over).

@Susan:

It's clear she doesn't really know her alcohol - but I'm not sure I'd expect her to know them that well. My guess is she didn't even know it was Crown Royal (which doesn't even sound American) but her campaign probably told her to drink whatever was put in front of her.

Posted by: MIguy | Apr 12, 2008 11:13:48 PM

Hears to you Hillary! Thank GOD that their is one Democrat left that still loves small town america and working class people!

Hillary knows it is not about the jetset it is all about the chevrolet set!!

@russell:

Oh come on now! Seriously, are you kidding? These people care about getting elected - that is their passion. And for pete's sake, Chevy has makes nice cars like the Corvette. I'm not saying Obama or McCain are any better, but please the people on here aren't idiots.

Posted by: MIguy | Apr 12, 2008 11:19:22 PM

I have a feeling at the end of this debacle that Hillary will overplay her hand.

Sometime this week, someone will catch her in a lie.

Posted by: maritza | Apr 12, 2008 11:19:39 PM

No Hillary is a Chevrolet kinda of girl! All american and proud of it! Nothing like a good shot of whiskey and a cool ridin chevy! She is my kind of woman!

Hillary and Chevrolet #1 in the U.S.A.!!

Posted by: russell | Apr 12, 2008 11:23:29 PM

right on russell!
everyone should know at this point and time just who obama represents.....the millionaires who claim to be working class americans.
hillary represents the middle class. she is the one who we need in office. she will be ready on day one.

Posted by: carla sue | Apr 12, 2008 11:25:13 PM

Don't you think she has already overplayed her hand? Calling Obama an Elitist? Is she kidding? She and McCain are two of the richest senators in government. Hillary as one of the people? The former Goldwater girl who met Bill and became a Democrat? McCain who flirted with becoming a Democratic candidate for VP? Obama is at least true to being a Democrat. Let's hope folks see thru her latest reincarnation, Hillary the Defender of the Little People - give me a break! Hillary and Bill - we want the White House back at any cost, we will ruin Barack's chances so we can run in 2012, or Chelsey can run in 12.

Posted by: Susan, Cary, NC | Apr 12, 2008 11:26:43 PM

Canadas been a great neighbor. I don't want to speak bad about it. If I was Clinton traveling into Canada I would definitely consider Canadas finist. Though, I would bring America's best as diplomatic gift. If I was a campaigning Clinton AND in the United States, then I would sharply steer clear of all obviously non-american beverages. America is headed for a huge recession that workers will want jobs during and those without will want leaders that are sensitive to those without the jobs that have went overseas or are in North American Free trade areas.

Posted by: sindecuse | Apr 12, 2008 11:26:54 PM

At least she didnt ask for a fat-free cheese pizza as the One did. or a European beer as the One did. Or ask about the cost of arugula as the One did.

Posted by: toby | Apr 12, 2008 11:27:37 PM

well at least her choice to have a beer is legal. obama on the other hand admits to illegal drug use and cannot CHANGE his own smoking addiction-so much for hope and change eh!

Posted by: sonia trevino | Apr 12, 2008 11:27:44 PM

Carla Sue: Hope that happens then we can all have a drink and toast The First Woman President of the United States of America! HOTDAMN!

Kravitz,
"bill said she was in the military. bill said she was in the military. bill said she wa..."

He did not say that. He said she tried to get into the military and they wouldn't take her because of her eyesight.

Posted by: J | Apr 12, 2008 11:28:34 PM

@kravitz-Corvettes are definitely american icons and even if it isn't 100% U.S. made with U.S. parts it would fit the bill more than Canadian whiskey. I think drinking Canadian whiskey is more likely to be a bigger blunder than the what could've been scenario of driving a corvette into a liquor store and picking up a bottle of J.D. Maybe not though :-)

Posted by: Sindecuse | Apr 12, 2008 11:32:12 PM

FYI - if you do a little homework, Ford is a bit more "American" nowadays but the Big 3 are getting less American all the time. What are you driving? If even half of you reading this drove a Ford, GM, or Chrysler then a lot more Americans would have jobs (but then again, they should make cars you want to buy).

@carla sue: no disrespect, but the slogans don't work well here.

Posted by: MIguy | Apr 12, 2008 11:32:29 PM

susan, i appreciate your passion for obama......but where is his passion for the democrats when he is listening to and naming a book after someone who says GD america....and the white man invented AIDS to kill the black man....etc, etc. all politicians exaggerate the truth, all the candidates have done just that. but obamas mistakes are more loud and clear than anyone else's. he is an eloquent speaking traitor. and as i have said and asked in earlier posts prior to this date.....no one gave a crap about obama until oprah got on the bandwagon. where is she now. hopefully if she has any sense, she is tipping one back with hillary in a small town pub, and pulling for rural america and those who don't have a lot of money or support those who do, like obama.

Posted by: carla sue | Apr 12, 2008 11:35:29 PM

Posted by: russell | Apr 12, 2008 11:42:08 PM

On US jobs and Canada, check out your statistics. Did you know where you get most of your oil and gas? Who is the largest force in Afghanistan next to the US forces without any thanks or recognition. At least for North Carolina, Canada is the state's largest trading partner and North Carolina is on the 3 states adding jobs, growing in a healthy steady way. Yes they suffered huge job losses but changed to a technology based economy and is doing well. Lots of room to improve. This is what Obama wishes (as everyone does) for the rest of the US, especially states like Pennsylvania. So let's not worry if a liquor is made in Canada or the US, let's make sure part of the economic transaction is positive for the US. The US does not need to be isolationist, they are a world leader!

Posted by: Susan, Cary, NC | Apr 12, 2008 11:45:09 PM

She has a sense of humor! She is the one to be president!
I'll have a whiskey with her anytime.
Barack's drink of choice is bitters - not my style.

Go HILLARY!!

Posted by: bluestocking1920 | Apr 12, 2008 11:47:35 PM

@russell: Who is badmouthing a Chevy except you by implying that it is only bought in small town America? They make good cars that everyone should want to buy (like the Malibu). While having a conversation with yourself may be nice, it doesn't prove your points...

@carla sue: Thanks for the sentiment; not many feel that way anymore. It's a global economy now and no going back. If there is any real issue here, it is who is going to bring jobs to the US?

Posted by: MIguy | Apr 12, 2008 11:48:15 PM

@Susan:

Exactly - Canada is the United States' greatest friend.

Posted by: MIguy | Apr 12, 2008 11:50:01 PM

MIguy,
thank you, and it will be hillary bringing and keeping our jobs here in the USA. i truly believe she has the fortitude and experience, even based on previous mistakes that she has learned from, to accomplish what this country needs.
all manufacturing facilities need to impliment the buy in america compliance act. i work in one that is doing this, and it brings a lot of pride to me knowing that the product i send out the door is american made.

@russell-Canada is family and we should take care of our family. Sometimes though, you have to take care of your immediate family and slip a sibling $20 dollars before you can buy a $10 candle from your cousins home based business. Once you both are back on your feet there will be plenty of parties to buy gifts at and for and that's all I'm saying!!!

Vanessa,
That's one that Obama forgot. Maybe you can call him to remind him. Some people in Pennsylvania bitterly cling to their bottles of booze, waiting for Obama to rescue them from their misguided small-minded ways.

AP News, all over the place, Obama's remarks give Clinton an opening.

Remember Friday, April 12th as the day that Obama jumped the shark.

I can't wait to hear those poll numbers out of Pennsylvania, and nationally, come next week.

She was in the bar, people drink in the bar, that's common.
As long as she is not an alcoholic , DUI, drugs user.
Please don't be a hypocrite.
She is human being also.

Obama Zombie Nation,
Since Obama has officially jumped the shark do each of you plan to follow in kind? By the way, has anybody been assigned to monitor Obama's own coolaid, it seems like that he's getting so far off message that somebody might have mixed a little coke with the coolaid.
========================================
Obama, maybe there's coke in that coolaid!

Alas, Dirty politics and spinning may earn you few votes but ultimately cannot get you the nomination...How many Delegates Hillary Won in Texas by after 13th straight loose again?

Keep trying, post negative comments everyday and night..but end of the day remember, Obama will speak his mind tell the truth, even if that gives Republicans and Clintons small dirt they are trying so hard to find!!

NAFTA was not enough to ship American jobs overseas, they need Mark and Billy’s Backer Colombian trade deal to close the deal to ship more jobs to Overseas!!

Wait, lobbyists are not good enough to break American Middle class dream, lets make millions of dollars in speeches and support the Groups who support Colombian trade deals so when in WH we can make more money than 109 millions and return them their true favor who gave Bill 800k for speeches!!

For heaven's sake! How many of you are tee-totalers who don't EVER have a drink in public? Who among you have NEVER "thrown back" a shot of whiskey?

This discussion is almost, but not quite, as absurd as the discussion concerning whether rural Americans are bitter and angry. At least there was some substance to what Obama had to say - while Clinton, even while being "one of the guys" couldn't come up with anything of significance.

Posted by: Kaelinda | Apr 13, 2008 5:48:07 AM

I was knocking on doors in Pennsylvania yesterday for the Obama campaign with two other volunteers. We knocked on over 500 doors. Guess what ? NOT A SINgLE VOTER mentioned Obama's remarks about guns religion or bitterness. Not a single one out of the more than 500 we talked to.. Gee. What does that tell you about the electorate ?
This is a faux controversy fanned by Clinton and the media. Just you watch, Mrs. Clinton who has already gone overboard on her criticisms will be caught in a big lie within the next two days and she will shoot herself in the foot big time. It's over for her. She is delusional if she thinks this is a fatal blow for Obama. Watch him to hit her with Bosnia, NAFTA, Penn and more

Posted by: Sally | Apr 13, 2008 6:30:25 AM

How much more desingenuous a person is Hillary going to portray herself to be?

This Elitist do-gooder goes around drinking beer, crying, telling lies, turning up her nose at the people of Mississippi, ditching Arkansas for New York and exspect the American people to take her serious and make her President. She really got hutspa.

How can a single mother raised. mixed race lack man who lived in New York city, Indonesia, be elitist.

The man used a top of the class Havard Law degree to become a community organizer for 12k a year. Is the media for real? This is so hilarious its sad.

Finally, good christians are taught that when all else fails you can hold on to you faith in christ.Small town America knows that.

Posted by: JoseyJ | Apr 13, 2008 8:30:03 AM

No other candidate in U.S. history has been given a pass and red carpet treatment from the media like Obama.

And he STILL couldn't get voters to fall under his spell.
2 weeks ago he wanted Hillary to GET OUT of the race - because HE had already won the nomination.

Well - if he's "won" - why were his donors on Billionaires Row asking him why he wasn't attracting working class voters - the majority of the Dem base that's been voting for Hillary.

Obama answered - "those people" aren't voting for me because they're bitter - and keep holding onto their God and guns and voting for Hillary.

Oh - and the more Obama tries to "explain" his remarks - he just makes it worse.

Thank you Hillary - for rejecting Obama's remarks because they're not representative of the Dem Party.

I would do shooters of Crown and eat pizza with her. (I'll bet she knew how to drop that shot of Crown into a glass of beer without blinking except she'd get a rep for it.) It's going to be tough between her and McCain, because I like him too. It's too bad that the coctail party liberal wing of the Dem Party ran that smarmy little racist crook from Chicago as their gesture to how liberal they were; they had a real Dem in Edwards.

The woman is as about as phony as they come. The regular blue collar Hill yeah right. Her run for President has been a nothing but an ego trip.

"There are many, many millions of American voters and citizens who will stand behind political leaders who are brave enough to buck the gun lobby, wherever that may take us, so that they will vote for the measures that we know will save lives," she said in 1999 as first lady.
