Peddling beer from the White House

So far, Cindy McCain, hands-on head of a giant beer wholesaler, has given every indication she'll keep pushing suds as first lady. Will her company's activities include continuing to lobby against federal measures to promote safer drinking, such as required disclosure of alcohol content in beer. The LA Times examines this lightly-considered issue. Will others give the McCains a pass?

I tell you what, just reading the AT bit on this sent me spinning. What's the Jesus Jim Holt cult gonna do?
I mean they are so anti-drinking, running Sam's Wholesale out of Chickenopolis and screwing the pooch on sales tax receipts. Could it be they are akin to James Dobson and just won't vote in the presidential election?


This is ok with mainline Republics. These are real ethical goings on. Just so long as McBush didn't get a blow job from that sexy young aide he cavorted with.

Hey Cindy! How about an executive order for a federal override of dry counties? Not going to get us out of Iraq. No health care plan either. Make your hubby useful!

Why not Beer? I mean, after selling an immoral war , what is wrong with just selling Beer from the white house back porch. The song Beer Bait and Ammo comes to mind.


Crackin me up Sanford. Love it. Great idea. Maybe turn the Rose Garden into Cindy's Beer Garden.

Yippers Cindy and John has "got it all." Beer, bait and ammo on blue name.

Never received an invitation to one while they were in office, but is it true that only Arkansas wines were served at the White House during the Clinton administration?

Mystery Shopper, you gotta be shittin us.

Why not sell beer out of the White House when old man McCain takes over, they've been selling stolen oil out of the White House for nearly 8 years now. But just remember, that last 8 years have been so hard on the Republicans that they don't have any money to raise 527 groups this election season.

So there isn't really a good reason for Barack Obama to even mount a campaign. He'll win because the Republicans are dead broke and all McCain will be able to do is stand by the Interstate and hand out old balloons with the words John F. Lawhon marked out and John McCane written in Magic Marker. Poor Republicans, these last 8 years your seed could find no purchase. Uh huh. Poor dears.

Remember this.....if a Republican says it, it's a lie. If a Republican does it, it's illegal. Watch everything they do and then prepare for the opposite. Obama should show no mercy and squash them like the FK'ing cockroaches they are. Bury McCain in November!

...hey - I kinda like that idea of baninshing Dry Counties...
