Former Russian president Boris Yeltsin got so drunk during a visit to Washington that he was found standing outside the White House in his underpants trying to hail a cab to go and buy a pizza.

The following night he was mistaken for a drunken intruder when he was discovered stumbling around the basement of his guest house by secret service agents.

The drunken behaviour of Yeltsin, who was known for his fondness for vodka and died two years ago aged 76, were revealed by former US president Bill Clinton.

Clinton, who is no stranger to indiscretions of his own, sat down with historian Taylor Branch to give an "oral history" of his presidency.

The results of 70 taped interviews between Clinton and Branch, who were former flatmates from the 1970s, is a new book "The Clinton Tapes: Wrestling History with the President."

Branch, a Pulitzer prize winning writer, was chosen by Clinton to be the unofficial historian of his eight years in power.

Sounds like a blast.

Are they sure it was Yeltsin and not Clinton?

Churchill was found wandering around the White House in his bare nakeds on one occasion.

That’s Sir Winston, of course.

[BGHater]

No chicken wings. Not Clinton.

fortheluvofpete, let him RIP. We’ll probably long for his kind again someday soon.

Only a man of bankrupt morals, a trashy person such as sinkEmperor clintoon would assassinate the character of a dead man in order to make himself seem 'better than him'.

[divine_moment_of_facts]

He wasn’t a well man.. Very sad.

[Rodebrecht]

Of course it was Yeltsin; Clinton was too busy attending a grope-fest in the parlor.

[counterpunch]

Boris supplied the booze, and Bill supplied the hookers.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

What an incredible toad Clinton is.

“revealed by former US president Bill Clinton. “

I would rate the credibility of anything Bill Clinton recalled in his book pushing, particularly a tale about man now dead, somewhere between the possibility of Barack’s Hope and Change supporting the Constitution and that of ACORN being a patriotic organization.

[robomatik]

clinton trying to reveal another persons bizarre antics to, for the historical record, and in his own deluded mind, distract from his own?

classic misdirection from a sociopathic mindset.

The BS meter is on the rise.....

After Yeltsin climbed up on top of that tank and prevented the Communist Party from re-taking the Government, that showed what was inside him, and it was a damn sight better than Putin and those other crypto-Bolshevists.

[Rumplemeyer]

Sounds like something Slick Willie would do.

[nascarnation]

Wow legendary partying with world leaders.
Who had the nuclear bomb codes, LOL.

Leave it to the civility retarded Clintoon to crap on a dead man. Demrats are among the rudest, hatingest lieingest people I know.
