Rules for the Sarah Palin Debate Night Drinking Game

[Roland99]

Version 1


--Take a chug of Moosehead beer whenever Sarah Palin says the following:

*maverick
*reformer
*any sentence including the words "neighbor" and "Russia"
*small-town values
*Gwen or Joe (remember how many times Palin said "Charlie" during the
Gibson interview?)
*off shore oil drilling
*Alaska
*"Thanks but no thanks!"
*witchcraft (not likely...but hey, you never know, especially if
Kathleen Parker's name should pop up)

--Take two chugs of Moosehead whenever Sarah Palin does the following:

*Utters a coherent sentence (i.e., contains a subject and a verb and
makes logical sense)
*Talks about her new friend Henry Kissinger or Hamid Karzai
*Explains how being the part-time mayor of Wasilla, Alaska with a
full-time city manager counts as executive experience

--Chug a whole bottle of Moosehead if Sarah Palin mentions the
following:

*Palin Presidency



Version 2


*If Palin calls herself a reformer or a maverick, drink.

*Ditto if she says the same about McCain. (Ok, I realize you might get
plowed in the first minute if you drink every time this happens. We can
say "sip" on this one to avoid debate alcohol poisoning.)

*If she throws in a sarcastic & belittling comment or gesture about
Obama (e.g. community organizer, that finger-to-the-wind move), drink.

*If she claims Troopergate was a partisan smear campaign against her,
drink.

*If she claims she's more qualified than Biden to be VP (or than Obama
to be Pres) because she has executive experience, drink.

*If she cites having met foreign leaders in NYC this week as foreign
policy experience, drink.

*Every time she says Gwen's (Ifill, the moderator) name in her answers
(much like the CHARLEEE of the Gibson interview), drink.

*For every policy dodge into irrelevant generalities, drink. (dangerous
territory here)

*If she says, AGAIN, that she has foreign policy experience because of
her proximity to Russia, drink. Twice.

*If she says, AGAIN, that she sold the damn plane on eBay, drink twice.
(Specific proven lies = x 2)

*If she says, AGAIN, that she was against the Bridge to Nowhere, drink
twice.

1. Funny new video satires of Palin

Here's a set of funny impersonations of Sarah Palin. Her voice is not as good as Tina Fey, but it has a great script. It is about her debate preparation.

Handler Excerpts: Please wait until the question has been asked, before you start spouting phrases. You're not answering the question, you are just reading from the Economist.

Palin Excerpts: We couldn't afford rape kits, we had a hockey arena to build. Hockey brings much more joy to families than rape. Maybe we could have a two for one offer for rape kits.

They are haters, they're just sipping on hateraid.

Couric just doesn't have enough experience. She's no Joe Scarborough. She was just picked for her looks and because she's a mom.
