Slate's Democratic Debate Drinking Game

Get drunk on political discourse!

By June Thomas

Posted Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2003, at 10:08 AM PT

This Thursday evening, the nine remaining candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination will meet in Phoenix for the fourth debate of the year. If these events have started to blend together, why not grab a bottle or two of your favorite tipple and bring on the blurriness by playing Slate's debate drinking game.

Cheers!

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

Is it too early in the day to create a debate drinking game thread? Well, no, actually it's not -- not if you're a Republican Party Reptile, (as defined by P. J. O'Rourke -- see below). Slate created a Democratic Debate Drinking Game last October. Words like HALLIBURTON, ENRON, and phrases like SUPPORT OUR TROOPS from Slate's list will be relevant for tonight's debate, but we should update it with our own keywords and phrases, along with detailed descriptions of favorite adult beverages we will be imbibing during the show. (As for me, it'll be a bottle or two (or three) of California's finest pale ale: Sierra Nevada.)

"What is the Republican Party Reptile? It is a creature of the eighties. It’s neoconservatism with its pants down around its ankles, the Rehnquist Supreme Court on drugs, a disco Hobbes living without shame or federally mandated safety regulations. The Republican Party Reptile supports a strong defense policy, but sees no reason to conduct it while sober. The RPR believes in minimum government interference in private affairs—unless the government brings over extra girls and some ice. In short, the RPR is the new label that our political spectrum has been crying out for—the conservative with a sense of humor and a healthy dose of depravity." - P. J. O'Rourke

Too bad the debates aren't held right before the election.

I do not like Slate's choices for drinking. Why don't we FReepers pick better ones?

I suggest:

1.) Viet Nam - 2 drinks if Nam is stretched into two syllables

2.) wrong

What are some others?

I'd have alcohol poisoning by the time it was over.

A drinking song in honor of John K:

"We had joy, We had fun, We had seasons in the sun,
My campaign, I did find, was just windmills in my mind.

All my life I'll have fun, I'll have mansions in the sun,
But the White House, you capeesh,
Is just effin' out of reach."

We're definitely going to hear Kerry say FAILURE or FAILED POLICIES more than once tonight.
