Let's Have a Beer

The one thing I've always hated about Bush defenders is the idea that, while you might disagree with his policies, you'd like to sit down and have a beer with him. You know, I can't really think of anything more unpleasant. In fact, in such an event, the first time he would smirk, I'd probably want to do something that might draw the attention of the Secret Service.

But this ad, I must say, makes me want to rethink the whole beer/politician calculus. I wouldn't mind having a brewski with Steve Novick:

Well done. Raise a pint.

Shorter State of the Union

"Let's do a bunch of small stuff that might not sound totally awful but that I don't really want to do and won't follow through on anyways. Oh yeah, and screw the Democrat Party."

That's what I'm hearing, anyways.
