Tonight, George W. Bush and John Kerry will meet for the first of three debates. This will not only provide us with a candid look at both men, but more importantly, it gives us a great excuse to get wasted while fulfilling our civic duty. The rules for the inaugural Daily Cardinal drinking game are as follows (bonus points if you check all the boxes):
Take a sip of your beer if:
A candidate mentions \freedom""
You check your watch during Kerry's answer
Kerry talks about help from our allies
Bush snickers inappropriately
Bush says ""terror""
A candidate is warned that his time is running low
A candidate says, ""Jim, I'm glad you asked that question""
You see Kerry's face visibly sag.
Take a shot if:
They make a reference to an ""ordinary American""
You forget the question ten seconds into Bush's dance around it
Kerry says ""W stands for Wrong""
Bush talks about the coalition of the willing
They refer to each other by name
Kerry points his finger in clearly rehearsed indignation
Bush says ""nuculer""
Bush's eyebrows move as if independent of his face.
Finish the bottle if:
You actually laugh at a candidate's joke
Nader bum-rushes the stage
