While the federal government was squeezed on one side by sequester and the other by a looming partial shutdown, the State Department was spending heavily on booze for its embassies abroad.

The Washington Times reports that the department spent about $180,000 on alcohol in September and $400,000 in all of 2012—that’s three times the $118,000 spent in 2008.

The booze tab reportedly has risen every year since 2008, but the end of fiscal 2012 saw a particular spike. …

And don’t forget we have a Kennedy in the state dept now. No doubt a faktor in stocking the likkerlocker?

Ronald Reagan: "Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other."

Me: When asked "How do you write government so well?", I respond, "I take a business and I take away reason and accountability." (adapted from "As Good As it gets")

Let's remember every little mean, spiteful, destructive decision the bozo makes, and be sure he gets his when the times comes..this guy has to feel pain and cry out to us to “make it stop.” He's going to have to suffer in some way, he's going to have to feel pain...no more drugs, booze or boys for obozo...now that's gonna hurt!

Another name for Obama? Oboozo!

Can you imagine Michelle on a mean bender? No form of life would be safe. M113 of Star Trek would be an amateur hunter.

The same for Hillary. Not only would she put Bill’s balls in a lock box, but she would castrate any male on the Fox News Network, and where them as earrings.

Sebelius, if drunk, would get a ticket for flying her broomstick in populated areas. Also ticketed for FBWD - Flying a Broom While Drunk. She’d be banned in Kansas.

How about a drunker Nancy Pelosi than we have seen on TV? She would look like a San Francisco hooker on Gay Pride Day.
On second thought, she already looks like that. Sorry!
