Internettijdschrift Slate komt met een aardig tijdverdrijf voor de kijkers naar de Democratische debatten. We hebben er drie gehad, maar er komen er nog veel meer, en die zijn volgens Slate ongetwijfeld net zo saai als de eerste drie. Dus daarom: Slate's Democratic Debate Drinking Game. Ik neem hem voor het gemak maar helemaal over. Hoofdpijn de volgende morgen is gegarandeerd.
Take one drink if: A candidate mentions an ordinary American by name A candidate mentions Bill Clinton A candidate mentions John Ashcroft A candidate mentions John McCain A candidate mentions Enron A candidate mentions Halliburton A candidate mentions a member of his or her family A candidate gives out his or her campaign Web site URL A candidate flourishes a printout of a strategy paper or a bill he or she co-sponsored A candidate looks into the wrong camera during introductions A candidate speaks Spanish A candidate refuses to answer a hypothetical question A candidate evades the question of whether they'd vote for Bush's $87 billion A candidate uses the phrase "when I'm president" A candidate promises to "support our troops" Take two drinks if: A candidate says a rival is "wrong" A candidate says he or she is "surprised" by something a rival says The camera catches an audience member in mid-yawn Drain your glass if: You laugh out loud at a candidate's joke Finish the bottle if: The candidates get into a fistfight Kamikaze version: Take a drink every time a candidate mentions President Bush by name. (Note: This is not recommended if you have to work Friday.) Even without Bob Graham in the mix, there are a lot of pols on the stage to keep track of, especially after a few belts, so you may want to focus on just one or two candidates. Carol Moseley Braun Take a drink if she: Points out that she's a woman Cites the Mayflower Uses the term "single-payer" Refers to the "sticky ceiling" Wesley Clark Take a drink if he: Says he's "pro-" something Answers a policy question by referring to his experience in the Army Uses the phrase "be all you can be" Howard Dean Take a drink if he: Mentions "Washington" disparagingly Mentions Ken Lay Is caught on camera in one of his weird grimace-smiles John Edwards Take a drink if he: Says something is "the right thing to do" Mentions "Robbins, N.C." Uses the term "millworker" Mentions that he went to public school Richard Gephardt Take a drink if he: Refers to a Bush policy as a "failure" Points at himself Says he "led the fight" for something Says "dad" and "Teamster" in the same sentence Mentions Howard Dean and Newt Gingrich in the same sentence John Kerry Take a drink if he: Uses the word "sacrifice" Mentions Vietnam Uses the phrase "so to speak" Dennis Kucinich Take a drink if he: Reads from his notes Mentions "NAFTA" and "WTO" in the same sentence Quotes poetry (even if it's the verse on the Statue of Liberty) Joe Lieberman Take a drink if he: Refers to a rival as "Brother [Name]" Uses the word "faith" Mentions Al Gore Gets booed Al Sharpton Take a drink if he: Accuses a rival of being a closet Republican Comes to the aid of a rival who's under attack from other candidates or members of the audience Smiles (don't worry, you'll go home sober) gepubliceerd door Marc op woensdag, oktober 15, 2003 #
