A Unique Distillation Of the Upcoming Election Contest

Filed under: General — WLS @ 3:18 pm



Posted By WLS:

A caller into the Dennis Miller Show this morning had a particularly insightful view into the coming general election choice that will be before the country:

The Dems offer a witch who is a lawyer and who is married to a lawyer, or a lawyer who is married to a witch who is a lawyer.

One of those will be matched up against a war hero who is married to a hot babe who owns a beer distributorship.

How hard is that choice?

  1. Oh, that’s funny. I’ll be stealing that one.

    Pablo (99243e)

  2. As they say on the DirecTV ads…
    “It’s a No-Brainer!”

    Another Drew (f9dd2c)

  3. The comment originate, weirdly enough, in Denmark.

    EW1(SG) (84e813)

  4. originate ? My aughter must have use all the ” ‘s” on this keyboar .

    EW1(SG) (84e813)

  5. I received it in my morning e-mail as well.

    Except that “witch” was spelled differently.

    Steve Levy (f9ae4f)

  6. Well, Pete Coors lost in Colorado.

    Course, Coors is horrible beer too. What kind does ‘ol JM prefer?

    Russell (5ecf4a)

  7. Cindy’s money comes from an Anheuser-Busch distributorship. So, Budweiser, which is also horrible beer, but lots and lots of people buy anyway.

    Pablo (99243e)

  8. Jeeze Russell and Pablo, what sort of stuff do you drink, Heiniken?

    JVW (199eac)

  9. I just loaded up the kegerator with some Mirror Pond. Though, being broke as hell, I have been known to knock back some PBR on occasion. 50 cents a can, man, can’t beat that.

    Russell (5ecf4a)

  10. well, she was a hot babe sometime in the last millennium. i don’t mind that she stole drugs from her own charity, i just wish that politically unconnected nonviolent drug users got the same breaks.

    assistant devil's advocate (618d34)

  11. Hey Russell, don’t knock PBR…don’t drink it myself, but it’s the rocket fuel that powers the mighty engines of Iowahawk.

    Oh boy, following my own link, I see he’s in Europe now, sipping absinthe. Soon to be guzzling Stella Artois, the Budweiser of Europe, no doubt.

    His posts should just keep getting better and better.

    driver (faae10)

  12. “…Stella Artois, the Budweiser of Europe …”

    You trying to start a war with Belgium, driver?

    SPQR (26be8b)

  13. Russell, I’m currently nuzzling a Harpoon. NTTAWWT.

    Heineken always seems a bit skunky.

    Pablo (99243e)

  14. Erm, JVW, not Russell.

    Pablo (99243e)

  15. “…Stella Artois, the Budweiser of Europe …”

    I hate to tell you, but the “Budweiser” of Europe is,
    Budweiser (Czech, the original).

    Another Drew (8018ee)

  16. Re: Another Drew #16 —

    Now known as Budvar (interesting story about Anheuser-Busch having to purchase the Budweiser name) and starting to be available in the U.S. A bar close to me has it on tap.

    JVW (199eac)

  17. Super. Let us know how it compares to its’ American cousin.

    Another Drew (8018ee)

  18. Budweiser? Harpoon? Feh.
    There’s only one beer worth drinking.

    kishnevi (6273ad)

  19. I like Groelsh(sp?).

    sherlock (b4bbcc)

  20. “The Dems offer a witch who is a lawyer and who is married to a lawyer,”

    It should include “formerly disbarred” in there. (Was he reinstated?)

    Al (b624ac)

  21. I recall drinking Lowenbrau forty years ago when it was foreign-owned and seemed ok to me. No clue about it now. Coors was still regional in 11 western in mid-seventies.

    Kind of amazed to find Yuengling here in S. Fla. Publix grocery. Oldest brew in N. America, like pre-Civil war….from my birth town Pottsville,Pa. whose own Maroons of the late twenties were robbed of an NFL title by the commish. Google it- interesting story.

    So how much play will Cindy McCain’s past woes get in media? Didn’t know she was so well-endowed. Think she’d be a far better first lady than Michelle O or Billy C. Nice that only real woman in the race is that pussy obama.

    madmax333 (9429a9)

  22. I don’t know about 40 years ago, more by about 3 decades ago, Lowenbrau was not imported but rather brewed under a licensed trademark. And I think it was not brewed to a German formula but rather an americanized formula.

    SPQR (26be8b)

  23. I don’t think much of most ‘branded’ beers. I prefer microbreweries whenever I can get to ’em.

    Gregory (f7735e)

  24. personally my favorite beer is “Free”, followed by “open” and then “cold”……

    if i have to pick a specific brand, i stick with the one named for me: http://www.arrogantbastard.com

    redc1c4 (292479)

  25. Jeez madmax333, you gotta keep up with this stuff. I believe Yuengling is brewing at the old Strohs brewery in Tampa, it’s not just a local beer anymore. The other day I saw some pictures of Dale Earnhardt, Jr. taken at a new club he’s opening in Charlotte, NC. There on the table in plain sight was a bottle of “Lager”.

    Jeff (in PA) (60cd14)

  26. The Dems offer a witch who is a lawyer and who is married to a lawyer, or a lawyer who is married to a witch who is a lawyer.

    One of those will be matched up against a war hero who is married to a hot babe who owns a beer distributorship.

    Do we need any further proof that Republicans follow politics with all the sophistication of gossipy teenage cheerleaders?

    Michelle Obama is way hotter than Cindy McCain, too.

    Levi (76ef55)

  27. #27 Michelle is the Obama with the big cojones, which your girlie man Hussein lacks since he is afraid to now debate the Hildebeest. Of course in his sophomoric style he’s down with rubbing his middle finger on his nose to diss her. As much as I loathe sHrilalry, I do hope she creams the punk Junior senator from Ill.

    #26 And what ever happened to the American Schmidt’s Beer? I recall one brewery in Norristown, Pa. shutting down ages ago.

    madmax333 (2a1591)

  28. Do we need any further proof that Republicans follow politics with all the sophistication of gossipy teenage cheerleaders?

    That’s the best retort you can come up with, Retard Boy?

    Truth about your side hurts, don’t it?

    Paul (4ca58a)

  29. Michelle Obama is a harpy. Hate is not an attractive quality.

    Pablo (99243e)

  30. Budweiser? Harpoon? Feh.
    There’s only one beer worth drinking.

    At about 4.2% ABV, that’s not beer, it’s mother’s milk. NNTAWWT.

    Pablo (99243e)

  31. Levi thinks that Michelle is prettier than Mrs. McCain? We can add blind to deaf, dumb, and stoopid. That is like comparing Lyle Alzado to Naomi Campbell.

    JD (5f0e11)

  32. It looks like even though the adults may be in charge, it’s still the children that pick them.

    stef (a2fee2)

  33. And Baracky and Hillary are running around trying to gather up all of the children.

    JD (75f5c3)

  34. I’m voting for McCain, but there is no way I find Mrs. McCain “hot.” All the candidates in this campaign have spousal liabilities, IMHO.

    gp (72be5d)

  35. #26 Jeff (in PA):

    I believe Yuengling is brewing at the old Strohs brewery in Tampa, it’s not just a local beer anymore.

    It’s actually the old Anheuser-Busch brewery, just north of Busch Gardens-Tampa.

    EW1(SG) (84e813)

  36. Am I late?

    love2008 (d2a57f)

  37. That’s the best retort you can come up with, Retard Boy?

    Truth about your side hurts, don’t it?

    What do I have to retort? A stupid fucking joke?

    You’re a schoolgirl.

    Levi (76ef55)

  38. Levi,

    Don’t pay attention to these taste-bud challenged rednecks. The best beer is Pilsner-Urquell. (It was possibly the real reason Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia.)

    And, yeah, the quote is cute but that’s not what the election is about. It’s about the things in the Preamble of the Constitution which should be posted outside every polling station on every election day.

    nk (284b49)

  39. What do I have to retort? A stupid fucking joke?

    Oh, so you did realize that it’s a joke and not in depth political analysis? So why’d you say this?

    Do we need any further proof that Republicans follow politics with all the sophistication of gossipy teenage cheerleaders?

    Do we need any further proof that you’re completely full of crap, Levi? No, we’re all stocked up. Overstocked, even.

    Pablo (99243e)

  40. The part I take issue with is calling Mrs. Obama a witch while Mrs. McCain is a ‘hot babe.’ If anyone’s a witch, it’s old wrinkly Cindy, the stealer of children’s medication.

    Levi (76ef55)

  41. Levi – You need to get help with those anger issues. And your eyesight adjusted. And, maybe listen to one of Mrs. Obama’s speeches.

    JD (5f0e11)

  42. Michelle America-Let-My-Vichysoisse-Get-Warm Obama did it all to herself. I know people who know her personally and they say that she is in fact a classy lady and a dedicated mother. But she went out there to compete with Hillary’s spouse and made herself look totally foolish.

    nk (284b49)

  43. Levi – You need to get help with those anger issues. And your eyesight adjusted. And, maybe listen to one of Mrs. Obama’s speeches.

    Wrinkles aren’t hot. I can only imagine how she must look without a pound of make-up caked on her face. All those years of stealing medicine from kids to fuel her drug addiction must have taken its toll.

    Levi (76ef55)

  44. But she went out there to compete with Hillary’s spouse and made herself look totally foolish.

    Cindy just got caught stealing recipes from Rachel Ray and posting them on the McCain website as ‘McCain Family Recipes.’ Does that make her look foolish, or should we just be expecting her to steal stuff at this point?

    Levi (76ef55)

  45. Sorry, guys, but the best beer is Dinkelacker(I kid you not) brewed in Stutgart.

    Bar Sinister (3c44d0)

  46. Actually, that is a good point — it’s a choice between a war hero and lawyers.

    I guess it depends on how you want to solve American’s problems — by talking or by fighting.

    Among the spouses, there’s no comparison — Michelle Obama is the only one, to my knowledge, who hasn’t plainly committed at least one felony in her lifetime.

    Phil (6d9f2f)

  47. Phil- Did Michelle declare and pay taxes on the piece of property that Rezko bought for them?

    JD (5f0e11)

  48. Hey enough with the attack on the spouses! Focus on the candidates and what they each represent. This kind of talk makes me ashamed of adulthood.

    love2008 (d2a57f)

  49. I thoughted I already saided that.
    Comment by nk
    Are you a clown or what? LOL.

    love2008 (d2a57f)

  50. Did Michelle declare and pay taxes on the piece of property that Rezko bought for them?

    Huh . . . so I guess there is a possibilty she’s just as big a criminal as Cindy McCain and Bill Clinton. Well then, I guess we’re back to whether we want to solve problems by talking or fighting.

    Or, if you will, Mr. “Yes we can” vs. Mr. “Yes, we can make you talk.”

    Phil (6d9f2f)

  51. You’re a schoolgirl.

    That’s your best insult?

    It is safe to say you’re not a basketball player…you’d be laughed off the court for such pathetic insulting skills.
