Mug Shots: They’ll Drink to That

Hill staffers are known for loving two things: politics and drink specials. The upcoming presidential debates are the perfect chance to combine these two things as a few area bars roll out the specials and turn the television to the McCain-Obama showdown. Sure there’s talk that tonight’s debate might be canceled, but either way, there will be something — be it a debate, a debate about whether to have a debate or Obama all alone on a stage yammering on about change — to watch while you throw back a few drinks.
