Hillary Doing the Man thing?

They've been showing Hillary throwing down a shot with a beer. It's a joke, right? This reminds me of past Dem presidential candidate Michael Dukakis (elected with the help of superdelegates?) who sealed the fate of his presidency when he tried to do "the man thing" by riding in a tank. Here's an image from an attack ad used against him.

And then there's that great white hunter, Bwana Kerry, whose hunting outings were cause for laughter and derision.

So, the question is, how about the Hillary, belting down those brews? How real is that scene?

Will the hair of the dog come back to bite her? If it doesn't that'll tell us where the corpstream media think their bread is buttered. So far, it's been presented without any reference to past efforts by candidates to pander to blue collar guy demographics.
