Duel in the Delta! The Drinking Game.
All this no-bate, yes-bate, some kinda-bate debating has whipped everyone into a frenzy. What questions do Americans want to see? What tactics? Here is a good NYT rundown previewing what to look for; here are “8 questions the debate will answer” from the Washington Post.
But there is one question nobody is asking: tequila or vodka?
For your First 2008 Presidential Debate, Pinko is up to the challenge. Today: it’s your official McCain/Obama Duel in the Delta Drinking Game! The prize: One IHOP hang-over early bird special. (Rooty tooty fresh and fruity PLEASE.)
McCain/Obama Duel in the Delta Drinking Game!
Here’s how it works:
(1) Print this shit out.
(2) Cut a hole in that box Cut up the phrases and possible events below into individual slips; put them in a hat; choose.
(3) One shot per mention/occurrence. 
Take a shot when the following is said or occurs:
+ “Country first”
+ “Experience”
+ “Earmark”
+ “Leadership”
+ “Putin,” or a reference to “Alaska” because it’s the same thing right?
+ Any point in which McCain’s face surgery scars are visible, or he looks disoriented.
+ ”Tax Cut.” Drink twice when McCain lies about Barack Obama’s plan.
+ ”Main street.” Shot and a half for “Main Street … not Wall Street” sentences.
+ “Black” er … “inexperienced.”
+ Jim Lehrer asks a question clearly framed from a conservative point of view. (”Do you pledge not to raise taxes, etc.”)
+ John McCain says “My Friends” or Barack Obama says “Look” with a palpable sense of disgust at the low-minded side show he has become a part of.
GO! Slur some drunken rants down in the comments. Oh, and after the jump it’s some motivation: a photo of your delicious prize.

If you see John McCain have a heart attack, but he can’t clutch his chest because of his gay stumpy POW arms, take a drink.
im already drunk. does that mean i should take a drink? for all being drunk? i love you man zzzzzzzzzzzzz
lol stumpy
that food looks MAD good.
The debate just started and I’m already mad drunk!
How many drinks do I take when John McCain calls HIMSELF a maverick? That sort of adjective use automatically makes him a dick. I’m a prolific visionary, so I know these things.
EVERYBODY HAZ BRACELETS!! TAKE A DRINK!!! LEHER, WHERE IS YOUR BRACELET?!!!
How many drinks for “existential threat” or “second holocaust”?
How about if someone implies Putin has three eyes? How many drinks then?
McCain just mentioned his time “in prison” in his closing remarks so I just drank a bunch of bleach and now I don’t feel so good…
McCain is officially Walter Sobchak. He turns every discussion into one about Jews or Nam. Iran is an existential threat to 3 thousand years of beautiful tradition from Moses to Sandy Koufax. And remember, he has buddies who died face down in the mud so you and I could enjoy this presidential debate.
[...] 4. We took on some important topics. I wrote a spirited defense of community organizing that I’m pretty proud of. Also we spoke out about the bailout, and what it meant for progressivism. Kate focused on the most important issue of our time: drinking, and the need to do it while watching the debate. [...]
