HILLARY CLINTON

John McCain: ‘I Will Veto Every Single Beer’

John McCain is now trying to court the Women’s Christian Temperance Union from Hillary Clinton’s stable — even though she was a lush — by nixing every Beer Bill that comes his way. Here’s what he said at his “small business” (major corporate) address today: “I will veto every single beer, um, bill with earmarks.” It’s funny because he won’t do either of those things. Liberal. Oh and he also made a joke about how he crashes expensive military planes: “In speaking about his proposal for joint town hall meetings with Obama, McCain said — following the prepared remarks — that he would like to travel with his rival by air. Then, going off script, the famously-downed navy pilot said, ‘I promise not to try to fly.’” Ha ha, because he might accidentally firebomb innocent families! [First Read]

    Beer Barron McCain raises a beer with Temperance Ladies

    “To alcohol, the cause of and the solution to all of our problems!”

    Oooo. He said something bad about beer. Someone’s not getting his old-guy rubbie tonight.

  4. AngryBlakGuy says at 1:05 pm, June 10th, 2008

    …Cindy is going to go APE SHIT on his ass!

  5. hockeymom says at 1:06 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Does his most recent wife know about this?

  6. Carrie_Okie says at 1:06 pm, June 10th, 2008

    “Take my wife….
    That cunt…”
    HIYO!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:06 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I would not hit any one of those women without being totally fucking hammered anyway, so I guess it was never meant to be.

  8. AngryBlakGuy says at 1:08 pm, June 10th, 2008

    …with the amount of planes that he has crashed I’m surprised he wasn’t recruited as the 20th hijacker!!!

  9. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 1:09 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Will this drive a wedge between him and the irish vote? And the southern vote?

  10. SuperRounder says at 1:09 pm, June 10th, 2008

    You know WALNUTS is gonna fly slowly in the fast lane with his left blinker on.

  11. AngryBlakGuy says at 1:10 pm, June 10th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: …I second that motion! Not even with a blood alcohol level of “COMA”!!!

  12. tsunami says at 1:12 pm, June 10th, 2008

    beer nutz?

  13. Gopherit v2.0 says at 1:13 pm, June 10th, 2008

    tsunami: might be the McCain version of blue balls.

  14. freakishlystrong says at 1:13 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Beer has ears? Whadda silly old fart…

  15. AngryBlakGuy says at 1:13 pm, June 10th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: …that being said; if he vetoes all of the beer bills then how in the hell do republicans plan on getting congressional pages drunk enough to screw them? He really is a MAVERICK!

  16. HollowBrain says at 1:16 pm, June 10th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy:

    Doubtful, she’ll be too busy talking to her slippers in an Oxycontin induced stupor.

  17. No beer? That’ll cost him at least 40 electoral votes.

  18. Dave J. says at 1:17 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Is it just my wishful thinking, or is his campaign going hilariously off the rails much faster than anyone could have possibly predicted? Each day he appears more addled than the last. This is going to be sweeeet in October.

  19. He’s too small to fly a real aircraft. He flew the A-4 Skyhawk, nicknamed the “Scooter” because it was tiny. Believe me, you had to be one small person to fit in THAT cockpit.

  20. edgydrifter says at 1:18 pm, June 10th, 2008

    My friends, at this rate of mental devolution I expect Walnuts to morph into Grandpa Simpson by early October.

  21. edgydrifter says at 1:19 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Dave J.: Yeah, what he said.

  22. Brokeback_Romney says at 1:19 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Everyone knows John McCain is a family man and family men/followers of Jesus hate alcohol because it leads to child porn/rape.

  23. stankfest says at 1:19 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I thought his wife was in the business of supplying the country with beer.

  24. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:20 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: tsunami:

  25. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:23 pm, June 10th, 2008

    stankfest: sshhhhhh… do not speak of such things.

  26. tsunami says at 1:24 pm, June 10th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: THEY WILL NEVER TAKE AWAY OUR BEER
    NUTZ THOSE SONS…etc.

    who could argue with that?

    revrrrn!

  27. capitol-hillbilly says at 1:24 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Servo: ha ha he flew the ’scooter’ and now he rides one of those things in the grocery store. the perfect circle …

  28. Gopherit v2.0 says at 1:27 pm, June 10th, 2008

    stankfest: That would only be true if Budweiser sold beer.

  29. freakishlystrong says at 1:27 pm, June 10th, 2008

    There goes the Homer and Barny Vote…

  30. V572625694 says at 1:28 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Hey, the “Next” button is fixed! Thanks, “the Wonkette,” as that media guy on CNN with the bad hair used to call you. Or as he called The Founder.

  31. Condiments-Only Diet says at 1:31 pm, June 10th, 2008

    “Much more hilariously … he declared, ‘I will veto every single beer, um, bill with earmarks.’” Carrie Dann must not get out much.

  32. sleepy says at 1:32 pm, June 10th, 2008

    any way you look at it, vis a vis beer-veto’ing, “th-that’s not ch-change we can believe in.”

  33. raider12 says at 1:34 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I, for one, refuse to stand idly by as McCain attacks the american farmers and small business owners - the hops, barley & malt growers and the micro-brewers that make this country great. We should strike a blow for liberty by downing some (american craft) beers!

  34. McCain is older than:
    (1937) To Have and Have Not
    (1940) For Whom the Bell Tolls
    (1950) Across the River and Into the Trees
    (1952) The Old Man and the Sea

    He was born the year “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” was published.

  35. Johnny_Zhivago says at 2:13 pm, June 10th, 2008

    I have to agree, a beer with ear marks is gross.

  36. weirdiowasculpture says at 2:26 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Beer spend spend tax spend beer . . . I mean, where does it end?

  37. Gopherit v2.0 says at 2:38 pm, June 10th, 2008

    So, in a McCain Administration:

    earmarks = No! No! No!
    beermarks = a rambunctious night with the little lady?

  38. bcnjake says at 2:51 pm, June 10th, 2008

    Didn’t Hillz prove that Crown Royal is WAAY more working class than beer? I mean, even Barry drinks PBR.

    I support any candidate in favor of Beermarks!

  39. You thought I was kiddin’ about the Politics of Hops, so haha! :p

  40. superfecta says at 3:15 pm, June 10th, 2008

    raider12: Amen to that (and yes, I am speaking as an award-winning homebrewer)…I think most people are unaware that not only does the WCTU still exist, but they even have a website.

    I believe they are also behind this:

    If only!
