We had good fun with the Presidential debate drinking game last week, so let’s do a repeat. Here are my suggestions — add yours in the comments.
Might as well start the night off right: Take a shot if Joe Biden walks on stage with an orange tan worse than Blayne on Project Runway.
Sip for every mention of Alaska. Take a big sip if “Alaska” is in the same sentence as “Russia.” (Just look puzzled if someone mentions Delaware).
Gulp if Palin talks about hunting, eating or otherwise interacting with a moose.
Take a shot every time Hillary Clinton, Geraldine Ferraro, or other Democratic female politician and/or feminist leader is name-checked.
Take another shot if Biden praises Palin for being “bright” or “articulate.” (Chug if he mentions “clean”).
Refill your glass whenever Palin says “Well, hey,” “You know,” or “You betcha” in an inexplicable Minnesota (or is it Wisconsin?) accent. Refill again every time she leaves the “g” off the end of words (changin’, makin’, goin’, etc).
Drink for every mention of media or Washington elite.
Take a big drink if anyone mentions feminism. Drink two if Palin calls herself a feminist. Drink three if she says, “I’m a feminist, but…”
Chug if Palin references the actual name of one of the billions of newspapers she reads every day. Or a Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade.
Finish your drink if the camera pans to the audience and Tina Fey is there.
And don’t worry, John and other nervous viewers, if you can’t take that much scotch-and-water — there’s always alcohol-free Palin Bingo.
