Best part of Story:

Clinton "relayed how Boris Yeltsins late-night drinking during a visit to Washington in 1995 nearly created an international incident" Taylor told the paper.[/p]Yeltin had been staying at Blair House, meters from the White House, when he was discovered roaming by secret service agents. When confronted trying to hail a taxi, the former president slurred that he was looking for pizza.[/p]Yeltsin, who died in 2007, is remembered with embarrassing drunken incidents, once seizing the baton from a bandmaster in Germany to himself conduct and playing the spoons on the president of Kyrgyzstan's bald head.[/p]
