The John McCain drinking game

Add comment January 16th, 2008

Here’s the idea: You gather around the TV for a campaign speech by John McCain, and you down a shot every time he says “my friends.”

If the speech is 20 minutes long, you’ll all be dead before it’s over. And then John won’t have so many friends.

My daughter, the apple(sauce) of my eye, is a great lover of squirrels. She’s not going to like this:

THIS letter to the editor says it better than I could.

Someone should tell Russert to shove it

Tim Russert is OVERRATED.

UPDATE: THIS GUY, too, doesn’t care much for Timmeh and thinks Brian Williams is just as bad.

Hey, Mitt, Where are your manners?

So Mitt Romney won the Republican presidential primary in Michigan on Tuesday, the party’s third different victor in as many contests this month.

Does this just further muddle the GOP race? You’d think so, wouldn’t you? For me, it has the opposite effect.  It makes the picture more clear. Romney’s going to be the nominee.

Yes, I had predicted that John McCain would win in Michigan, and now I see the error in my calculations.

McCain won this primary handily eight years ago with a lot of crossover votes from Democrats and independents. I thought that would happen again this time, especially since there was no real contest on the Democratic side, but it didn’t.  For whatever reason, a far greater percentage of voters in this year’s GOP primary were actually regular Republicans.

Well, John McCain doesn’t do well among regular Republicans. I didn’t fully understand that until yesterday. And now I figure he can’t win the nomination. The party faithful just don’t cotton much to this guy.

What about Mike Huckabee? He’s going nowhere.  His third-place finish in Michigan was weak.  The party establishment is against him. His win in Iowa now appears to have been a fluke.

Rudy Giuliani? He probably was pleased to see Romney win on Tuesday, lest McCain’s surge gain irresistable momentum. But now the momentum is with Romney, and Rudy hasn’t got a chance of stopping it. Besides, how in the world is a thrice-married, pro-choice, pro-gay-rights former mayor of New York going to become the standard-bearer of the Republican Party? Hey, they might as well nominate me. Not gonna happen.

As for Fred Thompson, he peaked about a month before he announced his candidacy and has been sliding downward with every campaign appearance he makes.

So there it is.  The Republican race is over.  Move along, folks, nothing to see here.  The action is over on the Democratic side.

 In November, it’s going to be Romney vs. Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.
