Boisterous Boris
Bill Clinton, Billy Graham, Helen Thomas and others recall Russian President Yeltsin's confidence, rough charm and liberal ways with drink.
By Dana Cook [2007-04-23]

  • as long as we're talking 'bout drunks

    Let's give a shout out to old Sir John A MacDonald, the first Prime Minister of Canada. That old Scotsman was such a drunk that once during question period, and drunk of course, he responded thusly to a question from the Official Opposition (and I paraphrase) "Dear Sir, your position is so offensive that it makes me ill" and then proceeded to vomit in the House of Commons.

    now THAT is one blessed drunk of a leader!

    (as for Yeltsin, that last story about demanding pizza? Well who on earth could read that story and not love him just a little bit more??)
