while sober. I hope they get him help and get him dried out.
Kegsbreath concerns me more, he could do more harm.
Loooong ago, there was a congressman from Massachusetts, John McCormack, who I have been told had a terrible drinking problem, and that he would make long drunken speeches on the floor of the House. It was never reported in the press because they covered for people in those days. He served as Speaker. Others say he was a teetotaller. I am not sure what to believe.
Joe McCarthy had a drug addiction.
Wilbur Mills was another one who loved a nip or two. Or three.
