Cindy McCain, Call Your Board Of Directors

From the folks at CongressDailyAM:

For a minute this morning, it sounded like Sen. John McCain of Arizona was heading for some big trouble at home. In remarks before the National Federation of Independent Business, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said that when it comes to wasteful spending, "I will veto every single beer." Before his wife, who just happens to be a beer heiress, could object, McCain quickly found his place on the TelePrompter and corrected himself to say he would veto every "bill with earmarks." Crisis averted.

They are going to have to take the telepromter away from him... LOL

I'm an Obama supporter, but even I think this is a little silly. It was a minor slip-up, that's all.

Personally, I'm much more interested in McCain telling Brian Williams last night that he'll stay in Iraq no matter how many troops are required...

I was watching it live and it was pretty funny. I don't think Senator McCain likes all forms of public communication equally well: (Man, I really could use a beer righ now. Oops, did I say beer?!)

If McCain is against beer, I don't see how he wins the blue-collar vote.

Or is this just another case of "old man yelling at car"?

McCain just lost my state - Oregon, the craft brewery capital of the US.

Cheers!

Bush isn't the only one providing material for TDS & TCR. Stephen and Jon will get a kick out of this. McCain has been in the Senate how long and still hasn't learned to use a teleprompter properly?

ooh. sorry Tiparillo, Colorado has got to have that title locked up.

1. Most micro breweries
2. Biggest micro brewery
3. Biggest beer festival
4. Biggest brewery (not that that would apply to craft breweries, but still)

I would also add that #4, making a bunch of Coors, doesn't do much for your microbrew status....
