The PA. Drinking Debate



As you all know, tonight is the last debate before Pennsylvania votes. Here
at TM.com it will be a drinking debate. This will include alcoholic beverages,
but for those who don’t drink, also smoothies, a spicy Virgin Mary, etc. But
because it’s too early to think about drinking, let’s get ready for tonight,
share drink recipes of all sorts. There has also been a lot of talk about Hillary’s
shot and a beer. As regulars around here know, I’m a “drinker.” What
does that mean? I like cocktail hour, at home with my hunky husband is my favorite setting, especially when I can have a glass of
champagne. Yep, I’m a gun toting blue collar Democrat who likes champagne. How’s
that for blowing away stereotypes! Anyway, here’s
what went down
with Hillary, because evidently she can’t even drink in good
fun:


… .. “I said ‘No, she sipped it. That’s what we do here, we sip our shots
with our beer.’

“They said, ‘You don’t sip shots, you toss ‘em back.’ I told them they
don’t know what they’re talking about, and they told me I was getting combative,”
he said. … ..

Syndicated news program “Inside Edition” sent a camera crew to
Bronko’s, and they too wanted to talk principally about the Crown Royal, Panning
said.

“I hate to see this reduced to the shot of whisky, like Sen. Clinton
was here boozing or something. She spent about two hours here,” he said.

Sen. Barack Obama has accused Clinton of pandering to the working class with
her stop at the Main Street eatery, telling a crowd in Pittsburgh on Monday
that candidates will do anything for votes, even “come around, with TV
crews in tow, to throw back a shot and a beer.”

But Panning said the entire scene felt genuine.

“I just asked her if she wanted a shot, and she said, ‘Sure,’ ”
he said. “Nobody suggested I offer it to her or anything like that.”

Also, what do you expect tonight?

Will Clinton be ready for the Bosnia question that’s sure to come?

What more will Obama say about Bitter-gate?

Should be a good one tonight. I’ll be liveblogging it and I’ll hope you’ll stop by.
