Why I'm Rooting for Palin, and How I'm Drinking About It


Because she's a Vandal, I'm a Vandal, and Vandals haven't had much to celebrate lately, have they? So, I'm ROOTING FOR SARAH PALIN TONIGHT! (I don't agree with her on a lot of things, but, as an undecided voter, I'm actually interested to hear what she has to say tonight. Not that I'm basing my vote on the VP candidate, right? Palin's not running for president, she's running for VP, right?. Inexperienced? Of course. But, experience isn't what gets people votes, is it Sen. Obama?) Anyway, back to the horse race .... I mean drinking game.
I'll be watching the debates at a party hosted by a friend who just sent me the evening's drinking game. Feel free to play along.
Divide people into two groups: Palin vs. Biden
Palin side drinks ...
- any time Palin says "hockey mom"
- any time Palin says some variation on September 11th
- any time Palin mentions the Bridge to Nowhere
- Finish your drink if she spins being mayor of Wasilla as "executive
experience"
- Make Chris Kornelis finish your drink if she mentions the University of
Idaho
Biden side drinks ...
- any time biden says something you know Obama's going to regret
- anytime he refers to himself in the third person
- anytime he refers to McCain as "my friend"
- Finish your drink if he he mentions taking the train home from the Senate
For everyone:
anytime either of them say some variation on "change in washington" or when
"wall street" is put in the same sentence as "main street"

Now that is the correct and proper definition of a drinking game.

really? you're actually undecided? as someone employed by a "newspaper", one would hope that by now you would have availed yourself of the information out there on the candidates' stances and been able to come to a conclusion by now.
one would also hope that you would have the good grace to be a bit embarassed to admit your ignorance.

@John, why I didn't put "Maverick" on the list is beyond me. We actually just started drinking every time we heard on of them say something that should have been on the list, like Maverick. Pretty uneventful, I thought.

VEY! Of all the times to be drunk at the wheel? Ah,a bit of dry humor back at ya: every time these guys hear the word "undecided", they throw a much bigger party than you, and on your dime to boot! Yay!
