an easy drinking game
Posted by thejinius under Uncategorized
While watching the VP debates last night, I came up with a very easy drinking game involving Ms. Palin.
1. Every time she says “nucular”, drink
2. Every time she says “maverick”, drink
3. She says maverick and John McCain in the same sentence, two shots
4. Mentions Alaska and energy, drink
5. She says “worldview”, Irish car bomb
6. Ends a sentence with “withcha” “heckofalot” or “darn right”, drink
7. She says all three in the same sentence, drink.
8. Pass out.
I don’t understand why she keeps bringing up the fact that she’s a soccer mom and that she’s just like the rest of middle America. I don’t know about you but I don’t want a soccer mom in the executive branch. I want someone who’s a lot smarter than the average person. Geesh, is that too much to ask???

I think that’s Palin’s main strength. She’s all about the small-town, down-home, ol’-fashioned, common-sense know-how, doncha know. (Though Tina Fey as Palin is much cuter.)
For people that aren’t well-versed on the issues, it’s easy to empathize with the persona that you can best relate to. But Biden did an outstanding job of making himself personable in the debates without having to resort to awkward interjections and non sequitur. He was so cute when he spoke in the third person. Like when grandpa tries to put on a brave face for the kids because the government’s about to take his farm away.
