a presidential debate drinking game

suggestions here

"my friends"

"the change we need"

"fat cats"

"presidential politics"

divide into teams, one team drinking for "wall street" and the other for "main street"

"lipstick" (drink a liter)

everytime obama starts a sentence with any of the following interjections:

"now"
"look"
"see"
"listen"

"across the aisle"

xp: double-shot if he combines them ("now listen", "see, look", "look now", etc)

"prisoner of war"

• drink every time obama compliments mccain's military service
• double shot for use of the phrase "war hero"

"my fellow americans"

I've never watched an American debate (but will be tonight) - is there an audience? If so:
cut to non-white person agreeing in crowd with McCain - this felt rampant in the 99% white audience during the GOP convention

lolz will play! when is the debate on

can't find a better shot of the finger gesture

During the Reagan/Mondale debates, everyone did a shot whenever Reagan said "well."

The carnage.

(But you know, he did say "well" a lot.)

Damn, almost forgot to get some beers in the fridge for this!

Rudepundit sez:

What Obama Should Say (Rude Version):
If at tonight's debate, Jim Lehrer asks Barack Obama, "How do you answer your critics who say you lack the experience necessary to be President?" and the Democratic candidate doesn't say, "Experience? Are you fucking kidding me, Jim? Let's get that out of the way real quick. The Crypt Keeper over there chose as a running mate a fucking idiot who couldn't find Pakistan on a map even if it had a giant cock-shaped neon arrow pointing at it saying, 'It's here, bitch.' A fucking moose-slaughtering tool who thinks that Russia gives a happy monkey fuck about Alaska. So let's just shove that thought aside. And as for experience, that dead Eisenhower-looking motherfucker's been around DC for three decades, and his party had no holds barred power for six of the last eight. Where did that get us? No, no, fuck that.

"Now lemme say somethin' here directly to Johnny Maverick. Your America failed. Your version of this country, where we go and fight bullshit wars and where rich people are gonna be all generous with their money and where businesses will take care of themselves, that shit failed. It's done, Johnny Maverick. And this fuckin' wreckage is owned by the Republican president and the Republican Congress, and that includes you, motherfucker. You still stink of this shit, and no matter how hard you try to run, those gimpy little legs can't get you far enough away so that you don't smell like Uncle Sam just took a dump on you. You own this. You think you can just put it aside like some out-of-wedlock baby and wait for the DNA test to make you pay child support? No, motherfucker. You broke it, you bought it, you gotta carry it around with you. Every time you got down on those broken knees in front of George W. Bush and was first in line to take his dick in your mouth, you owned another piece of it, and now that he's come, you wanna spit? Fuck you. Swallow that shit, bitch.

"Goddamn, it must suck to be you right now. I mean, look around you, Johnny Maverick. Look at what the fuck is happening. People are losing their houses, businesses are gonna shutter up, jobs are disappearing, Afghanistan is falling apart, Iraq's only being held together by duct tape and the American military, Pakistan is fuckin' shooting at our soldiers, and China's just waitin', man, waitin' to step up and say, 'Hey, Russia, wanna dance on the grave of the United States?' And why is this happening? Because of every fucking thing that you believe in, Johnny Maverick. Aw, shit. That's gotta hurt.

"So many fuckin' things that you were wrong about in your life, from asking to go into combat in Vietnam to wanting to play with the big boys by getting involved with Charles Keating to being Mr. Deregulation and Monsieur Laissez-Faire to jumping on the Bush train when it was speeding into Iraq to letting your campaign become just an extension of everything you once claimed you hated. It's all been wrong. The sum total of your vast experience is to demonstrate what not to do. The nation's gonna crumble, motherfucker, and all you have to offer is how many dicks you're gonna suck because you think you're the one to get us out of the mess you made. It's like a rapist asking the woman whose apartment he broke into and beat to near unconsciousness before fucking her in the ass if he can pick up some milk for her at the corner grocery.

"But you keep suckin' away, Johnny Maverick, showin' all that shiny fuckin' experience, as you take 'em all, the cock of the evangelical right, the cock of Karl Rove, the cocks of lobbyists lined up around the block. Yeah, no wonder your cheeks are so goddamn stretched out, from trying to fit two or three in there at the same time. Oh, I'm sorry, Jim, did I offend a war hero? Was I too uppity? Kiss my black ass," then the debate will be useless.

too stupid ; did not read

aw you're not THAT stupid

Deeply satisfying and totally useless. Rudepundit's anger would sink anybody's campaign.

It's "Bob George '08"!

Deeply satisfying and totally useless. Rudepundit's anger would sink anybody's campaign.

well yeah this is not serious advice

I would kinda love it if Obama said "kiss my black ass" tho (so not gonna happen)

If at tonight's debate, Jim Lehrer asks Barack Obama, "How do you answer your critics who say you lack the experience necessary to be President?" and the Democratic candidate doesn't say, "I know John has been in Washington much longer than I have, but the American people have had over a year now to evaluate both of us, to look at our judgment and leadership and to ask who would have the steadiest hand on the tiller, and I think it's fairly clear if you look at all the polls right now that there's been a determination that I am more prepared than John is to manage the troubled economy we're seeing now and to work to bring the country together to confront the challenges we all face as Americans," then the debate will be useless.

i was thinking of 'change' and 'my friends' but that may be too dangerous, as noted above.

Mentioning the polls is a poor idea.

gab that hypothetical obama statement strikes me as very circular reasoning ("evryone else thinks i have the experience, so should you") and also you give bad advice

will he call him "John" or "Senator McCain"?

there may be smoother ways to make the point, but it's very significant that Obama has much less paper experience than McCain and is still winning - it in fact may be the reason McCain didn't want to go through with the debate tonight, if in fact he didn't - it makes the point that a) Obama's "critics" are not "the American people" but journalists asking dumb questions, and b) that Obama's a winner (and, implicitly, you the swaying-with-the-wind voter should get with the program)

"may be"

"very significant"

"smoother"

and i wouldn't worry about the 'arrogance' factor - Obama needs to be self-confident to inspire the confidence of wishy-washy voters

btw, your words mean nothing to me, aisf

and the thing people don't like about polls is when politicians follow them, not when they follow politicians

I'm so glad you are here to speak for "people".

then the feeling is mutual

shut up, both of you

yah, for everyones information there is now a "ban from thread" admin function, so please remember that this is the FUNTIMES DRINKING GAME thread.

yr specialties

funtime and drinking!

(note: apoplectic incredulous rage is fully within the realm of FUNTIME DRINKING GAME once the thing is happening, i think)

ok i'm in... just ordered some italian food and asked them to send a six-pack of peroni

i would suggest a drink for every invocation of the clinton thumb point, but we might all die.

i tried to, uh, point out obama's version upthread - the clasped thumb and index finger

the 'chopstick'?

'invisible baton'?

(srry didn't spot that upthread. my bad.)

a young person's guide to the deficit

haha

hahahhhaa

we shouldn't feel bad, i'm sure fox news has a team working around the clock working on something like "terrorist point emphasizer"

just settling in for some star trek next generation, have downed g&ts and tofu tonight, looking forward to the debate

quick quick have some rules codified in the next half hour, between...now, me getting beer, and start of d-b8s

i think that "my friends", reference to military service, unnamed finger gesture, "presidential politics" and

everytime obama starts a sentence with any of the following interjections:

"now"
"look"
"see"
"listen"

― playing the abortion card (elmo argonaut)

plus

xp: double-shot if he combines them ("now listen", "see, look", "look now", etc)

are a level pro hardcore #1 suggestions.

How about every time McCain takes an Obama slogan and twists it around, like that one speech where he said, "That's not change we can believe in" like 400 times. Or is that even likely to happen during debates?

also, every time mccain says "lack of experience" you have to punch the person to your left in the face. xpost

btw, if any of you were dirnking on the "main street" "wall street" rule, you are already dead

for real

hahahahah they just keep coming

did not predict potential for "bear DNA" to be a viable contender

one shot for every use of "fundamental"

MY FIURENDS

FESTOOOOOOOOOONED

DRINK EVERY TIME MCCAIN SAYS AGAIN

drink until the debate is about foreign policy
