First, let me just admit that I’m writing this post solely to justify publishing the photo of Hillary pounding a shot of something, someplace in Pennsylvania last week.
It takes a hell of a guy to make Hillary, she of the $109 million income fame, seem like a woman of the people, but Barack has done it with his general yuppie persona and penchant for making remarks guaranteed to insult the hoi polloi.
He may have regained some of the ground he lost by suggesting small town people were bitter and clingy, (who could have possibly guessed that someone in a San Francisco fund-raiser would have a recording device of them?) when he referred to Hill as “Annie Oakley” after she positioned herself as a huntress since childhood. Now she’s drinking boilermakers. What’s next Hillary? A big low-back tattoo and a sudden fondness for Newports?
I'll be traveling the next few days. TTYL.

I saw this video and if she was doing a shot of crown royal, I'm U Thant. She didn't blink an eye when that went down. I know Crown Royal isn't Black Velvet but it still has quite a bite in shot form.
Oh, come on Birdman -- I put Crown Royal on my Frosted Flakes.
Yeah, but not while under a sniper attack!
Given the Clinton's challenges with the truth, I have a hard time with the CR, too
(U Thant!, talk about esoteric refernces, that's a blast form the past.Who's next? Everitt Dirksen?))
You're from Warren. CR goes into baby formula in that town. Hillary's from the North Shore of Chicago. They have a tough time choking down a white wine spritzer without gagging.
This sermon will be short.
Life is a balance between control and escape. However, some people are of one camp only. To those among us who use both instruments, we look upon those who cannot do so with a jaundiced eye.
Does saying Hillary and control freak in the same sentence sound alien to your ears? I have my doubts that she even has developed pathways to metabolize alcohol.
This is my favorite Hillary quote of the day --
"You know, my dad took me out behind the cottage that my grandfather built on a little lake called Lake Winola outside of Scranton and taught be how to shoot when I was a little girl..."
The kitchen sink is almost empty!
Drinking boilermakers and saying Obama doesn't understand Americans' attachment to their guns. Is there NOTHING she won't do. Surely you cannot deny many Americans ARE bitter and do CLING to their religion and their guns. They are white males and more and more of them are of the younger variety than DB (and, one assumes, his friends). Yes, Obama could have said it better. That doesn't mean it's not true!
I think he was absolutely right although I'm not sure how he could have said it in any way that would not have brought the storm he got.
In times of great uncertainty people turn to and embrace (dare I say "cling" to) the familiar and reject the unfamiliar. In small town PA (which is eerily like Alabama) that tends to be religion and "outdoor" activities.
This storm, however, seems to have blown back on Hillary.
Read George Will's editorial about Obama's discussion of bitter Americans with religion and guns. Obama sounds condescending, elitist, and foolish. Why did he use such stereotypical language? Is this part of his plan to bring us all together? It sounds like the same old divisiveness that he campaigns against.
I think it was Indiana where she was drinking... gotta love those Hoosiers
Woody, would you say when George Will says the word, "Perfect" we can substitute F*** U? Looks like contempt is contagious.
Those on this blog have visited issues deeper than 95% of the people who will vote in these contests. My guess is the majority of voters will vote first on whether they are better off then they were last time they voted, the party they have always voted for, or who they trust the most. Some will not trust someone who they think looks down on them. That is the Democrats black cloud. I have to raise my hand on this one. I don't eat at MacDonalds or watch American Idol. A lot of people who do both don't have much in common with my values. Plenty of Americans feel that cyclists, skiers and climbers are elitists. There is a culture of hate against people like me. Just the same, I don't want their children dying in Iraq.
I don't think any of us need to be lectured on elitism by George Will. Anybody who calls a baseball diamond "the emerald chessboard" should be boiled in brie.
Triple ditto on none of us needing to be lectured on elitism by the supercilious George Will! You're right, it will be the same old same old. People will not cross party lines even though it would be in their best interest. Even AY and I were determined to vote McCain should Hillary be the nominee. But upon second thought . . . now especially that he would never choose a vp who 'doesn't value every life'. Like the rest of us are 'for abortions', like anyone is 'for abortions'. As the bishop of Charleston SC told my 87-year-old devout mother 'if you vote for someone who is 'for abortion' you will go to hell. So she did not vote in the SC primary. Gotta love those values voters.
Although I love SC, I've never thought that the clergy in the Palmetto state had a firm grip on reality. I have family in Spartanburg and Saluda, SC. I know from which I speak. They take their religion the same way Fast Eddie Felson took his JTS Brown. Straight up, no ice, no glass. Pay 'em no mind.
In DB's absence I'll pose a topic: how the hell did we end up with three mediocre candidates? With all that happened in the last seven years this is the best we can do? What is the matter with us???
Birdman, I have been to Spartanburg and Saluda many times. Spartanburg is in SC but the Saluda I have visited is in NC, between Tryon and Hendersonville. Saluda is noted for its secluded mountain location, mild climate and the fact that Perry Como was a seasonal resident.
Woody, my mother-in-law's family, a more squirrelly group of french huegenots you won't find, settled Saluda, SC (the county seat of Saluda county)over 300 years ago. It is half way between Columbia, SC and Augusta, GA. It's Strom Thurmond country. In fact, my mother-in-law's cousin, Lois Crouch Addy who died at the ripe old age of 107, actually baby sat the aforementioned late senior senator from the Palemetto state.
funny how your comment on Hill doing boilermakers dre 17 comments while to story of the cancer fighting guy from Erie only drew five comments. Leave it to 60 Minutes to fuck up a story - what they did not show you was that the guys invention also included the ability to make salt water burn like gasoline
Birdman, I found Saluda, SC on the map. Saluda comes from the Cherokee Indians. One of their chiefs had the name "Corn
River" which, in Cherokee, sounded like Saluda to the white settlers. There are the Saluda Mountains, Saluda River, Saluda,SC, and Saluda,NC. I wonder if GWB will have anything named after him, like Dumbass Mountain, Dumbass River, etc.
