Congressmen Booze As Government Shutdown Looms

"SNIP.............................


House Republicans spent hours on Capitol Hill Saturday as a government shutdown loomed, but that didn't stop some of them from having a little weekend fun.

Reporters tweeted that they could see -- and smell -- several Congressmen enjoying a drink while working

................

Republicans are shutting down the government over their opposition to health care reform. After the bill passed the House in 2010, Democrats did plenty of boozing themselves, much of it at The Tune Inn, a dive bar just blocks from the Capitol, but plenty of it inside the building as well.

1. Boozing while trying to take health care away from many millions.

2. Self medicating as an example to us all.

Grrr.

3. I'd like to think that getting drunk is the only way

they can live with themselves after trying so hard to deny health care coverage to those that need it, but that would imply that they had a conscience. Silly me.

4. Even at places where it was perfectly permissible to have a jug stashed at work

years ago, most of that has been eliminated. It turns out that most companies don't like their employees drinking on the job or coming back from lunch after knocking back a few. We should demand they eliminate that at The Capitol.

5. They renovated an office in parliament hill in Ottawa

some years ago and found empty bottle after empty bottle in the crawlspace. I don't mind people celebrating making people's lives much better, especially people who don't have much choice in their lives. But this is sick. This is not fighting the good fight and obviously anybody who thinks is messed up.

6. The real face of the TeaPublican party.

Sweaty, boozy, red faced, staggering goons celebrating yet another attempt at taking health care away from the youngest, the oldest, and the sickest Americans. This disgusting stereotype would be funny if it weren't for the fact peoples lives hang in the balance.

7. they were trying to keep their courage up

While plying booze. The talk was small when they talked at all.

8. Do you get it yet?

People in Washington DC don't care about REAL PEOPLE. A.T. A.L.L.

You don't really think the only ones getting drunk are all Republicans do you?

9. I think the reporter had to 'reach' back to try and balance out the story

with an example of democratic boozing. I got the message it was republican boozing tonight that was being reported on. Which is the message they were trying to get out. Or they would not have reported on it at all. Sometimes reporters react like simple good human beings.
