Congressmen Booze As Government Shutdown Looms

Don't Worry Congressmen, We'd Get Drunk During This, Too

House Republicans spent hours on Capitol Hill Saturday as a government shutdown loomed, but that didn't stop some of them from having a little weekend fun.

Reporters tweeted that they could see -- and smell -- several Congressmen enjoying a drink while working:

Republicans are shutting down the government over their opposition to health care reform. After the bill passed the House in 2010, Democrats did plenty of boozing themselves, much of it at The Tune Inn, a dive bar just blocks from the Capitol, but plenty of it inside the building as well.
