Last Call: Wonkette’s Final 2008 Debate Drinking Game

What's a good beer nut? ACORNS!!!!1!Wait, we only have an hour left to put together a drinking game? That’s not enough time to create high-quality alcoholic comedy! Well, we shall do our best — if by “our best” you mean, “We’ll just throw together a quick phrase/drink list and you can give it a try, at home!”

By “drink,” we mean a hit off your beer or wine or cocktail. We’ll say “shot” when it’s time to do shots.

    McCAIN: ONE DRINK

  • “My friends.”
  • “I know how to ….”
  • Any leering mention of Palin, which will be all mentions of Palin.
  • “Most liberal senator.”
  • “I suspended my campaign.”
  • “Ronald Reagan.”
  • OBAMA: ONE DRINK

  • “Look ….”
  • (Shakes head with dignity.)
  • “Voted 95% of the time with George W. Gush ….”
  • “Middle class.”
  • “Erratic.”
  • “Change.”
  • TWO DRINKS!!!

  • “Heh heh.”
  • McCain insults the moderator.
  • Obama uses fruity (accurate) pronunciation of “Pakistan.”
  • McCain says any variation of “five and a half years.”
  • Any mention by anyone of Jesus, or Allah.
  • “That’s simply not true.”
  • ONE SHOT!

  • “William Myers.”
  • “Jeremiah Wright.”
  • “John Hagee.”
  • “ACORN!”
  • THREE SHOTS!!!

  • “That One.”
  • “Palling around with terrorists.”

Please add last-second extra drinking rules in the comments!

    Oh god, you are drinking already, eh?

  2. If either of them says “traitor!” or “kill him!” shoot heroin into your eyeball.

  3. tunamelt says at 8:32 pm, October 15th, 2008

    CABERNET!

  4. hesakillerqueen says at 8:32 pm, October 15th, 2008

    If McCain wants to fuck up all of Obama’s youth GOTV efforts, all he has to do tonight is begin every sentence with “my friends.” No voter under the age of 30 will live to see Thursday.

  5. One Drink - “Maverick” if WALNUTS says it.

    Two Drinks - “Maverick” if Bob Schieffer says it

    Three Shots - “Maverick” if Hopey says it!

  6. Down Goes Frazier says at 8:34 pm, October 15th, 2008

    I’m ignoring the debate and just having a beer for every 100 points the Nikkei goes down tonight. I’m guessing this first six-pack ain’t gonna be enough.

  7. Texas2Step says at 8:34 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Put on yer boots! It’s Weasel Stompin’ DAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!

  8. Clancy_Pants says at 8:35 pm, October 15th, 2008

    1 shot if Grampy gets up and starts wandering the stage

  9. 23skidoo says at 8:36 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Keg stand if Schieffer says leeringly of Palin, “I’d tap that.”

  10. InsidiousTuna says at 8:37 pm, October 15th, 2008

    I’m just gonna kill this bottle of vodka.

  11. When McCain drops the n-bomb it’s truckbombs for everyone. Truckbomb=pint of Baileys and Jameson dropped into a pitcher of Guinness. Good luck!

  12. MplsMama says at 8:39 pm, October 15th, 2008

    McCain One Drink:

    - liberal media
    - activist judges
    - Obama bin Laden
    - creepy smile

  13. Sire Says says at 8:40 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Throw a carafe of Midori in your face when WALNUTS uses his opening remarks to wish NANCY Reagan a speedy recovery, my friends.

    Oh, I am liveblogging too, here.

  14. tunamelt says at 8:41 pm, October 15th, 2008

    hesakillerqueen: hahaha. truth.

  15. What about when Obama touches his index finger to his thumb and sort of waves his hand around vaguely in rhythm to whatever he’s saying? That’s a gesture I’m thinking we’re all going to be good and sick of by 2016.

  16. ihasasad says at 8:42 pm, October 15th, 2008

    What happens if someone says “Cunt, cunt, contributor?”

  17. willmmmm says at 8:46 pm, October 15th, 2008

    One Drink - Every time McCain’s body language creeps you out.

  18. Two Drinks - Everytime McCain says “I know how to do it”, “I fought for you or I will fight for you.”

  19. rocktonsammy says at 8:57 pm, October 15th, 2008

    everybody shotguns a 40 oz. malt liquor if either master debater mentions the middle class, poor, uninsured,abortion rights, better education, less government,legalize pot,equal rights for queers and just plain respect everyones right to do whatever as long as it ain’t hurting anyone.

  20. FINISH YOUR DRINK!!! If:
    Schieffer or McCain soil themselves.
    Cindy McCain shows emotion in her face post-debate.

  21. 2 drinks every time a candidate says something that makes you throw up in your mouth.

  22. The Intern says at 9:00 pm, October 15th, 2008

    I’m drinking lemondrops tonight to match McCain’s sour face.

  23. Rielle Hunter says at 9:03 pm, October 15th, 2008

    THIS IS SAD. This is the last one? Will I have to stop drinking now??

  24. Half-Price Muslin says at 9:03 pm, October 15th, 2008

    The first time McCain “defends” Obama from character smears immediately before gleefully making a smear himself, just shoot me.

  25. “crisis” -> 1 shot of Jack Daniels
    “main street” -> 1 shot of Cuervo (silver/clear, not gold)
    “wall street” -> 1 shot of PatrĂ³n

    Actually I can’t handle watching the debate … it makes me tear up with boredom even if I am drinking :-(

  26. grrr it ate my comment :-(

  27. kfcbeveragelover says at 9:19 pm, October 15th, 2008

    yvels88: How dare you make fun of the disabled. I think it’s remarkable that Cindy McCain has succeeded so much after such a tragic Botox accident. For shame.

  28. kfcbeveragelover says at 9:21 pm, October 15th, 2008

    i want to take a scalpel to a hatchet, that would be sweeeeeeeeeet!

  29. RobPetrified says at 9:25 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Sire Says:
    Nailed it with the Nancy Regan comment.
    Smart move,’cause people like her better than Lara Bush.
    At least Hopey got in a jab at FOX ‘news.’

  30. RobPetrified says at 9:32 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Apparently somebody told McCain to ease up on the “my friends.”

  31. Leak Plugger says at 9:43 pm, October 15th, 2008

    Well, this drinking game will cause death. Ayers and ACORN were mentioned SO SO SO many times.

  32. Squirrel drinking a Bud is a poor replacement for hottie on the toilet.

  33. rmontcal says at 8:29 am, October 16th, 2008

    Sire Says: Wow - what a good call!

    McCain began his closing comment with “muhfrienz” kind of like how W says, “Inotherwords” really fast. I especially enjoy when the two things on either side of “Inotherwords” have nothing to do with each other.

  34. Senhor Tambor says at 3:30 pm, October 16th, 2008

    Re: The photo…

    Mmmm…Old Style….I sure miss Chicago.

  35. hakkaida says at 11:22 pm, October 17th, 2008

    Jesus Christ, this is seriously getting to the point where it is absolutely not funny anymore. The Republicans are turning this into un-veiled race and partisan war. Acorn is some kind of criminal organization now? Why don’t they just come out and say that disenfranchised Americans are no longer allowed to vote.
