"I willingly drank the Kool-Aid" confessed the mastermind of the George Washington Bridgegate scandal as he addressed the court. The source of such "drinking" dates back to 1978 during the Jonestown Massacre at Georgetown, Guyana in South America which resulted in mass suicides by a cult group. The phrase was expropriated from a harmless beverage of my youth. Further on the Jonestown story, a U.S. Congressional delegation was visiting there looking into the cult leader, Jim Jones. Gunshots broke out and our Congressman Leo Ryan (D) Cal. was killed. His aide, Jackie Speier took five bullets but survived and she now holds that same Congressional seat of her mentor. I think of her as she appears frequently on the TV interviews.
