Hillary and Booze

I could take a cheap shot at Hillary Clinton's tendency toward public drinking. God knows others have. But I am genuinely concerned. The New York Times reporting almost as an aside that Hillary was recently walking around her campaign plane with a "generous tumbler" filled with bourbon.

Her habit of late for knocking back whiskey in public is disturbing. Lots of politicians have drinking problems, Richard Nixon is a notable example, but they are discreet enough to keep their alcohol problems private. Hillary has lost that discretion and that is a bad sign.
