I was sitting here thinking about the importance of tonight's debate, and thought drinking myself into oblivion might be a fun way to get through the stress.
Since I can't be the only one anxious given all that's at stake, I'll throw out a few ideas to get the game started, but I appeal to the Kos braintrust to help us set a new standard, given we have two reasonably predictable candidates.
See u below the fold...
OK, let's get started. It's a shot every time one of these is used.
====================================================
bring about change
35 years of experience
audacity/boldness
the pledge
Saddam Hussein (2 shots if it's pronounced SAD-dam)
universal pre-K
race-card
gender-card
Katrina
a war that should have never been authorized and never been waged
John Edwards
profound
bi-partisan
when I'm president...
["No Child Left Behind"] left the money behind
Al-Qaeda/Osama Bin Laden
from day one
fierce urgency of now
global warming
political accomodation
...is not leadership
the surge
taking our message across the country
Weapons of Mass Destruction (or "WMD")
You know that's not true
the Taliban
You're being disingenuous with the American people
uncalled for
====================================================
Hmm...that looks like a pretty good start. What have I missed?
