I wonder if there’s more to this story, though...

[Go Gordon]

Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick is taking time away from Congress after she said she had a "serious" fall, related to alcohol dependence.

Get back up on that bar stool, quitter.

[polymuser]

Mine was another...

[kiryandil]

Ann Kirkpatrick, who voted "Aye" on both impeachment articles while drunk [like her boss, Granny "Chardonnay" Botox]:

“Republicans cannot deny the facts and instead are intimidating a decorated U.S. military combat veteran [ltc "Stay Puft SoyBoy" Vindman]. These baseless character attacks will not change President Trump's corruption and abuse of power,” Kirkpatrick slurred, glaze-eyed, breath belching gin fumes like a poisonous miasma.

She’s up for reelection in November fwiw.

[kiryandil]

I’m with you. I dont care what her politics are when it comes to fighting an addiction.

"Impeaching while drunk" or IUI should be a prosecutable offense...

[rdl6989]

Prayers up.

She had a District gerrymandered for her. She won then lost the District. Then won it again........ballot harvesting, likely. She is a mess. Hope she retires and gets the help she needs.

There is an easy cure to alcoholism.Football great Paul Hornung said it best: “When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.”

[aquila48]

Me too, but out of congress.

[hal ogen]

...and she is one of our nation’s “leaders”? How pathetic. Having an out-of-control alcoholic in a position of responsibility and authority is wrong. She should be kicked out of congress. Of course, all congress people should have unannounced drug tests, sobriety tests and IRS audits...including the lousy staff. We are being played for chumps. There are reasons why we have a $24,000,000,000,000 deficit.

I'm dying of self-induced emphysema .... didn't quit smoking soon enough.

I don't want well wishes, I want a platform to speak to stupid kids.

Sorry ... I have no sympathy.

[Bonemaker]

That makes two of us. She’s not alcohol dependent...she’s a two-bit lush.

[Macoozie]

so . . .
A Drunk.
Now can’t do her job.

So . . .
Why not be a sweatpea and just EFFIN RETIRE already?

Ya gotta drag these Politicos out in a box

[NobleFree]

We need to ban this dangerous drug.

[Political Junkie Too]

A fall, physical therapy, alcoholism, rehab, but no talk of stepping down before the election?

-PJ

[NobleFree]

Get back up on that bar stool, quitter.

You're a bad person for posting that - and I'm a bad person for laughing so hard.

[yldstrk]

Remember Karen McCarthy?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yup.
