More from The Hill:

Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) was spotted helping a man do a keg stand at a Louisiana State University tailgating event on Saturday.

A photo from the event appears to show Landrieu—one of the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents this year— holding the keg’s spigot while a young man dressed in the Tigers’ purple and gold does a handstand on the keg and other participants hold his legs. A crowd of onlookers cheers him on.
A source close to the campaign said the man was in his late 20s and was enjoying a tailgate with his friends and family. The source also said his father was at the tailgating party with him.

Good grief!

I wish I lived there just so I could not vote for her. MT @thehill: Landrieu helps out with keg stand http://t.co/fg3OXiZbyA

But guys, there’s this:

@ellencarmichael probably the first real public service she's done

— Court Jester Biden (@youseenmikehunt) September 21, 2014

Snicker.

The Landrieu photo may be a good laugh for now, but just wait until it's used in ads against her. Pure gold.

— Ellen L. Carmichael (@ellencarmichael) September 21, 2014

Truth. Gold, baby. Gold.

On a not funny note, what leadership, huh? Way to encourage excessive drinking, Senator!

Friend sends over this note re: Landrieu picture: "I saw this in person… along with my 9-year-old."

— Ellen L. Carmichael (@ellencarmichael) September 21, 2014

Criminy.

Why on earth would Landrieu do this? Here is a reason:

The Landrieu keg stand thing won’t move any votes, but it does show how panicked she is.

— John Ekdahl (@JohnEkdahl) September 21, 2014

Yep. Pitiful.

And an exit slogan suggestion for Sen. Landrieu:

@GingerGibson "(Keg) Stand with Mary." "Mary Landrieu is working for Louisiana." "Chug! Chug! Chug!"
