Senator Mary Landrieu aids keg stand at football game
Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) is one of the most vulnerable incumbents facing re-election this November. So, perhaps in an attempt to sway voters on the all-important "Which candidate would you rather have a beer with?" question, Landrieu helped a man perform a keg stand at Saturday's Louisiana State University football game.
The man in the picture is of legal drinking age and was at the game with his family, according to The Hill. Still, Republican operatives are having a field day with the image and accusing Landrieu of promoting binge drinking.
