If Obama was running his campaign the way Hillary is, he'd show the pictures of her doing shots

[Warren DeMontague]

and then re-do her "3 AM" ad, but with the "hand of experience" shaking as it fumbles around for the phone, knocking lamps and shit over.

[AllentownJake]

1. BIG K&R

Funniest thing I have read here in a while...well at least since Pot and Pan Fun Day broke out last week.

[bridgit]

2. I buy her a shot.

But she'd have to come down to the gay bar we drink at :beer:

[PBS Poll-435]

41. Something tells me that she would...

And it would be a very fun time.

[Cant trust em]

3. That was a seriously funny post.

:rofl:

[Rosa Luxemburg]

25. maybe SNL might do one?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

26. maybe SNL might do one?

[redstate_democrat]

4. That visual just made me LOL!

kicked!

[bigtree]

5. there's no evidence that the feigned outrage over a woman drinking is contagious

Only men can drink alcohol and not be criticized for it, huh?

[davidinalameda]

6. it's sexist!!!!!!!

since we all know that Hill does shots probably every night

:sarcasm:

[napoleon_in_rags]

7. What is that, an IPA?

OOh, mister big elite with his IPA... Hillary's drink looks like bud! ;)

[Norrin Radd]

10. Yeungling. If it were a pale ale, they would've said it was a Lord Chesterfield.

[napoleon_in_rags]

11. lol. nt

[Cant trust em]

27. Oh Yeungling. You remind me of 2003.

That was my beer of choice when I lived in D.C. for a semester.

[Cant trust em]

28. Looks like a Newcastle. Now he's too good to drink a good ol' American micro-brew.

[Norrin Radd]

34. Yuengling:

35. I thought Yuengling was a lighter beer than that.

Well, I guess it's been a few years since I've had one. And they were always bottled at that.

[Norrin Radd]

36. They have different styles now. If it weren't on tap, they probably

poured it into the glass for him.

[Cant trust em]

37. I would love to get some out here on the West Coast.

Maybe I can find it at BevMo or something.

[Norrin Radd]

40. dupe

[Norrin Radd]

42. No luck at BM. Looks like they only distribute to the East coast.

[bhikkhu]

8. Well, he wasn't cross-eyed with a whiskey-shot poised, was he?

Not there there was any difference as far as pandering to the beer-loyal, but the media is what it is. I could guarantee that a similar shot of Barack or McCain would be everywhere, instantly, and no sexism necessary.

[IndianaGreen]

9. Hillary's crime is that she drank Canadian whiskey instead of a good American Bourbon

Kentucky primary is coming up. Obama should point Hillary's disdain for Kentucky's best.

[Hippo_Tron]

21. As I said in the other thread, she should walk the walk or stop feigning outrage

I really have no problem with the fact that she prefers Crown Royal over bourbon made in Kentucky. But if she's going to drink Crown, she really needs to stop calling Obama an elitist.

[Cant trust em]

29. Jon Stewart's bit on this was hilarious.

I highly recommend, if you haven't already seen it.

[TheDonkey]

13. Got to love her cross-eyed glee

There are many unflattering pics of her. Disastrous photo op.

[VenusRising]

14. I can't not laugh when I see her eyes crossed like that.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[TheDonkey]

19. I'm crying!

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Waaaaaay to funny!!! Never gets old.

[Warren DeMontague]

12. No, I'm saying that if Obama was running a cheap shot, lowbrow, empty campaign like Hillary is

he'd latch on to whatever the fuck he could, distort it, chuck it at her and see if it sticks.

[Arrowhead2k1]

15. People can drink all the alcohol they want.

But when you make a big friggin deal out of it by trying to prove you're something you're not a day after accusing your opponent of being an elitist snob, guess what? You're gonna get called the fuck out.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

16. You completely missed the point, as usual.

[Hippo_Tron]

20. Bigtree, I'm gonna agree with you that there's a double standard here

I think sometimes Hillary supporters over-use the gender card just as Obama supporters over-use the race card. This isn't one of those cases.

Hillary really should not be getting crap for taking a shot of Whiskey. I think intended or not, it does have something to do with the fact that we associate such behavior with men.

That said, it swings both ways. I think there's a double standard in the fact that some DUers want Obama to prove to them that he's not homophobic, anti-white, and anti-semitic when they've never at any point said that they need any proof of these things from white Democrats (some of whom have had ties to equally if not more controversial people than Rev Wright).

[Cant trust em]

30. That's not the point of the OP

The point is that if Obama were running a cheap shot campaign, he'd run an ad saying that Hillary is a drunk who can't control herself.

I, for one, think it's cool to see her drinking beer and taking a shot. Particularly for her since she's had some image troubles about being seen as a human. I give her the benefit of the doubt here more than I would for a man. If that makes me sexist, then I guess I'll wait for her to complain about me giving her cool points. That being said, I bet that shot knocked her for a loop.

[Warren DeMontague]

33. I think it makes as much sense to get "outraged" over a picture of her doing shots

as it does to get "outraged" over Obama not wearing a flag pin, or Obama wearing a turban, or over Obama's middle name, or over something Obama's preacher said, or over something Obama's wife said, or over Obama saying voters are "bitter".

They're ALL bullshit. ALL of them.

[McCamy Taylor]

17. Isn't DU showing pictures of her doing shots over and over again?

So, doesn't that make you Hillary?

[Warren DeMontague]

32. No, because I'm not part of the Obama campaign.

And I'm not even criticizing Hillary for doing shots; I could give a shit, as long as she's not driving... I'm only making an observation about the sleazy, intellectually empty nature of her campaign, which started off with the assumption that she could claim the nom. by declaring herself "inevitable", and once it became clear that wasn't working, she proceeded to attempt to tear Obama down by any cheap means her campaign goons could come up with.

Meanwhile, on issues that DO matter- like her vote for the IWR- she has been totally unable or unwilling to acknowledge that she made a mistake. She has never made the sale as to why she DESERVES to be the nominee (other than, as Terry M. puts it "It's HER TURN") and in her all-out brawl for this victory which her supporters are seemingly convinced she's entitled to, she has not hesitated in the LEAST to embrace the worst sort of Right-Wing messaging and Karl Rove tactics.

It didn't need to be this way; a lot of us had respect for her before, but that respect has been severely diminished by her conduct in this campaign.

[Hippo_Tron]

18. No, he'd point out that she ordered Crown Royal and feign outrage over it

[mirrera]

22. Thanks, better than coffee!

[Orsino]

23. I think you've just predicted the next SNL's centerpiece sketch.

If they don't drag it out SNL-style, it could be pretty damned funny.

[SIMPLYB1980]

24. I say go for it. Make that commercial.

then Clinton can run a ad saying that if Obama thinks having a shot disqualifies Clinton for President, then his past coke habit certainly disqualifies him.

[Warren DeMontague]

31. The point isn't that that is some sort of a legitimate approach to campaigning.

The point is, if Obama was taking Hillary's sleazy "kitchen sink" low road, that's the sort of thing we would see.

And I have NO DOUBT that Hillary's people have considered running with the cocaine thing; they floated a "trial balloon" about it already, remember? And have come to the conclusion that it would seriously bite them on the ass. Otherwise, I'm sure they'd have no compunction about using it as an "issue".

[Justitia]

38. No, he'd show pictures of FLAG DRAPED COFFINS & say "She Sent Them There". -eom

[JVS]

39. Sounds like a youtube video to be made
