Sorry, she has already drank it.

I drank 6 beers already tonight but looking at her I feel totally straight by comparison.
This woman is totally wacked out.

They're playing "Shout!" in the hall. If there was ever a song that didn't mesh with the soporific speech we just heard, this was it.

"Teresa says with John Kerry as president, global climate change will begin to be reversed."

Well it's true! You figure four years plus this one with Kerry blowing HOT air up everyones butt and then some. The windbag will have changed the course of the jet streams.
