While we don’t shy away from political commentary here at Tasty Booze, we are less likely to take a political stand one way or the other given the breadth of staff opinions on most issues. But John McCain has attacked us at the core and finally gone too far. Often a lovable guest on The Jon Stewart Show, guest star in Wedding Crashers, and conductor of the Straight Talk Express, McCain is usually a pretty cool guy. For a 70 year-old at least. But here at Tasty Booze we have uncovered his dirty little secret and we are determined to spread the word across the United States.
In a recent speech airing on MSNBC and posted below, Senator McCain firmly denounces our favorite past time in declaring that he “WILL VETO EVERY SINGLE BEER…” Why? Why, Senator, why? Between war, the fledgling economy, gas prices, and global warming, you have decided to take on the one thing we really need in today’s world to get to sleep at night? This is especially alarming when contrasted to Mr. Obama, who is often seen enjoying a tasty hops-based beverage. In fact, the Illinois Senator has even had beer named after him by East African Breweries Limited in his fathers native Kenya and by Brooklyn, NY’s own Sixpoint Craft Ales.
Clearly, just because his 70 year-old liver is too old to enjoy a cold, crisp, refreshing brewsky, Mr. McCain is taking it out on the rest of us. It has been of suspicion for years that he has always preferred a weaker, more effeminate drink, but to go to these extremes…a sad day indeed.
