***Note: As I began write this post about the brands of beer that Henry, Barry and "the cop" will be consuming as they engage in bar stool diplomacy to address Gates-gate(TM), I learned that Gates is possibly half-Irish and a distant cousin of "the cop" ... the saga continues***
Now for the beer ...
Who says hard hitting journalism has gone by the wayside? The mainstream media has been digging so deep into Gate's-gate(TM) that they've uncovered the types of beers that Henry, Barry, and "the cop" like to drink!
Barry will have a Budweiser, a longtime American tradition - brewed domestically but now owned by a Belgian company. (Do they speak "Austrian" in Belgium). Henry prefers Red Stripe or Becks. "The cop" will be drinking Blue Moon.
I'm somewhat of an beer connoisseur....
Bud is always a safe choice, especially in politics. Bud=Augie Busch=Busch Stadium=baseball= apple pie! If you ever order a beer on tap from a local tavern, keep in mind that the keg of Bud was probably tapped sometime after last week.
Red Stripe is a Jamaican Lager and a warm weather favorite. But stay out of the sun, despite the smoothness its bark is more than its bite ... or is its bite worse than its bark it's stronger in alcohol content than the taste suggests.
Becks offers a variety of flavors. The Pilsner and Dark are the most popular. Both greatly add to the enjoyment of eating the meat from dead cows, pigs, and chickens. Not bad with pizza either.
Blue Moon is a Belgian beer owned by Coors, sort of the opposite of Bud. If you're a fan of wheat beers you probably would enjoy Blue Moon. It has a light wheat flavor with a tinge of citrus.
The poor mainsteam media, Sara Palin hasn't gone on a shopping spree in months and, for the sake of ratings, they were hoping the beer selections of those involved in Gates-gate(TM) would add a little something to help fan the flames.
What if Barry said he was going to have a 'forty' of Schiltz Malt Liquor? Woo-hoo! That little detail would be front page of the New York Post! Imagine Henry saying he was going to kill a twelve-pack of Mickey's "hand grenades" - the late night talk show jokes would write themselves.
Think of the ratings that Larry King would have if "the cop" chose to drink Dixie Beer. Jesse Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, and Danny Glover would appear on 'LK Live' testifying how this proves "the cop" is a typical redneck member of law enforcement. Barry and Henry would be saying, "I told you so, and I told yo' mamma so."
The media is going to cover the beer gathering as an exposé into the issue of race. I don't suspect we will learn anything from this. Since calling "the cop" stupid without knowing the facts, Barry has tucked the race card back under his sleeve, saving it for a future date. Henry's 15 minutes of fame has shown him to be a cop-hating jackass, behavior unbecoming of a Harvard Professor.
"The cop" would love to tell Barry and Henry that he's tired of being called a racist when dealing with black people, but he won't. If he did, Henry would only try to shout him down the same way as the first time they met.
I'd actually take the Red Stripe...and I hear Obugger will be sipping Bud Light, which is more like drinking piss than beer. He has to keep up his girlish figure somehow, no?
ReplyDeleteLet's all get drunk and then talk about a polarizing issue like racial profiling.
ReplyDeleteCrowley: "Hey Barack, Joe Biden was right. You are the first clean African American that I ever met.
Obama: Yeah, but I can jive with the bes' of em', sometin' you crackers don' know.
Gates: "You can't jive Barack, cause yo' mamma was white. You got more white meats than a ten bucket of KFC. Crowl man, hows come white folk can't dance?"
Redskin, looks like Biden showed up to make that statement himself.
ReplyDeleteDD, Redstripe was the best choice on the menu, If it was BYOB, I'd bring along some Molson Golden.
