Alcoholics not so anonymous

I was leaning toward view that Trump wasn’t going to dump Hegseth, not after already signaling weakness by folding on Gaetz so quickly, but this is so pathetic I think he’s a goner:
Donald Trump‘s pick for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, vowed not to drink if he is confirmed to the Pentagon’s top job after a deluge of negative stories highlighting his consumption.
‘This is the biggest deployment of my life, and there won’t be a drop of alcohol on my lips while I’m doing it,’ Hegseth said Wednesday on The Megyn Kelly Show.
His promise comes as lawmakers are skeptical of his qualifications to lead the Pentagon – the nation’s largest employer with over 2 million under its purview and an $800 billion budget.
“I swear I’ll stop being a drug addict just as soon as you give me this incredibly important job, because hey it’s incredibly important.”
How about you stop now, when you’re being considered for it?
“I would, but this is extremely stressful, and I just need a little something to help get me through the day . . .”
Sure Pete.
