I guessed it would be more like $3 million.

Last year alone, the State Department sent taxpayers tabs totaling nearly $300,000 for alcoholic beverages about twice as much compared to the previous year, according to an analysis of spending records by The Washington Times. I'd guess a lot of conservatives drank twice as much in 2009 as in 2008 too.

What wasn’t reported is that, with Ted Kennedy out of office, next year’s alcohol tab is estimated to be $7.50.

This fellow Texan prefers Jefferson’s Reserve Very Small Batch Bourbon. Excellent and not priced out of the range of most people.

Maybe if the Left Demorats stayed sober they would see the light on over spending in all areas

...an order of Jack Daniel's whiskey...Hey now, cut them some slack! It's a big step down from Gentleman Jack or Jack Daniel's Single Barrel to regular Jack Daniel's! /sarc
(At least nobody told them about the $350 bottles of 23-yo. bourbon at Heaven Hill in Kentucky.)

I like George Dickel better than JD.
DP and I were at the National Conservatory once, viewing an exhibition of Poinsettias, and the staff was setting up for a Senate function of some kind. *Oceans* of booze.

You know, this is not appropriate behavior for someone in that position. These pictures should be forwarded to Aljazerra (sp). Muslims hate women anyway and it would be interesting to see if there would be any reaction to this. imo it's disgraceful...but up is down, wrong is right etc so she may be thought of as a really classy chick....... (gag)

I’m surprised this is the only photo of HC sauced.
Why didn’t she dump that jerk husband and have a real life. Oh well.

“Jack Daniels is low rent swill.”
What can I say, I’m a low rent kind of guy. Even worse, I put Coke (the soft drink) in mine.
