Who Would You Choose to Have a Beer With? (past or present)

Some of our most cherished memories in life revolve around sharing a drink with loved ones and friends. A fine bottle of Cabernet with your spouse on your anniversary. A 12 year old scotch with your father. Shots of tequila with the girl you've been after for months. Etc, Etc.

There are certainly people in our history and living today, that I would give my left nu.., er little toe, to share a beer and a long-winded conversation with. The following is off the top of my head, and hundreds more could be included:

LIVING:

3. Bob Dylan - my all time favorite enigmatic musician

2. Donald Rumsfeld - A real man amongst girly men

1. Mark Steyn - perhaps the most insightful, wittiest man on the planet

DEAD

3. Ernest Hemmingway - one of the few writers of fiction I love.

2. Ronald Reagan - The hero of our times

1. Ben Franklin - My alltime favorite historical figure.

LIVING:
3. Karl Rove - I'd love to get insights on running a campaign the way he did!

2. OJ - To ask him about that night @ Bundy...but I'll pat him down first.

1. Pope Benedict XVI - shoot the s**t regarding theology...and--of course--he could pick the beer.

DEAD
3. Winston Churchill - no cigars, though

2. Harry Truman - the last Dem to really "Give 'em hell!"

1. G.K. Chesterton - How the heck did we ignore all his warnings on societal collapse?

I do not know. I don't drink any soda pop at all.

[Echo Talon]

yea, I like lemonade. I probably should switch to Green Tea, I hear it's good for the bones for something like that...

[pissant]

Good list. Mel Gibson huh? Hmmmmm.

[pissant]

Great. Patrick Henry, yes!

[ken5050]

Snugs, obviously, from an earlier thread.....if not her...then Lady Thatcher..

[pissant]

Good old Fred.

[mainepatsfan]

I'm on a diet so I'm drinking Tropicana sugar free lemonade. It tastes pretty good.

[pissant]

Impressive. Winston and Benedict would definitely be on my list! :)

[pissant]

Both Snugs and Lady Thatcher would drink you under the table! ;o)

[Mr. Mulliner]

Hey, I like that you had G. K. Chesterton at the top of your list. Good call.

I'd have a beer with Carrie Nation, the leader of the temperance movement. She'd probably let me have her beer.

[Echo Talon]

George W. Bush
Zell Miller
Laura Ingraham

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

John Wayne

My Father used to come home from work, change out of his suit and have a beer. As a little girl I would sit on the porch beside him and take a little swig - it absolutely gagged me at the time. I later came to appreciate beer quite a bit!

He died when I was 15 - I'd love to sit on the porch and share a beer with one of my favorite men of all time - and I'd love for him to meet my Marine and my children

No untoward motives in your selection of Laura, I assume?

Well, she is getting married. I just think shes great. I love her show. If she turned me down for a social drink I would have to go with Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin or Michael Medved.
