RNC virtual watch party: the McCain speech

National, Politics 1 Minute

MB was gracious enough to host last night’s watch party and he asked me to do tonight’s.

Tonight, by the way, is the night that the Norfolk chapter of Drinking Liberally meets. (6-8pm, The New Belmont). So let’s have a virtual meeting 😀 Like that gathering, we welcome liberals and non-liberals, drinkers and non-drinkers alike. Come back here about 8:30 (yeah, I know the speech will get started a bit later  but we gotta get warmed up 😉 ), grab your favorite beverage, and let’s do some convention-watching.

Until then, feel free to leave your comments about what you expect tonight.

UPDATE: Check out this preview of McCain’s speech.

UPDATE2: McCain’s speech is supposed to start at 9:11 CT (10:11 ET)

  4. Vivian, look at you. Pretending as if you’ve never played a drinking game. Silence here is proposing that *every time* John McCain says “My friends”, we all drink a shot. That, my friends, is alcohol poisoning we can rely on!

  5. My friends, let me pull a paragraph out of one of McCain’s speeches and see if it clarifies matters.

    My friends, just like on the energy bill, I’ve argued for reform and change in Washington for years. And it hasn’t made me friends. It hasn’t made me friends in Washington. My friends, I was not elected Miss Congeniality again this year.

    Imagine tossing back a shot of vodka everytime he utters uses a first person pronoun and the word “friends.” Now imagine having your stomach pumped.

  6. Actually, I’ve not played a drinking game 😦 And I guess tonight is not the time to try it, although if we can have a virtual party, certainly we can take virtual shots 😉

  8. I think you have to do it competitively.

    One half the room drinks on “my friends.” The other half of the room drinks whenver McCain very reluctantly mentions he was a POW, a subject he does not like to discuss.

  9. As noted over in MB’s place (that phrase keeps making me want to say ‘Peyton Place’), I will be having a Grumpy Old Man. Or two.

    silence, you are evil. Please don’t ruin vodka for life for other people. I’m doomed to a life of not being able to look at a bottle of vodka ever again, because of taunts and temptations from people like you.

  14. Peej, I had no idea you were such damaged goods. No vodka, really? That’s sad. (FWIW, I can pretty much mirror that story with . . . wait for it . . . whiskey/bourbon (all the same to me)).
