miekec | 2004 Presidential Debates Drinking games

Sigh. Watching those debates is so painful. Need alcohol to repress the urge to run away screaming. So, I went digging for drinking game rules. Here's a compilation of what I found:

Drink if/when:

Anyone makes a reference to an "ordinary American"

Anyone says "September 11"
Anyone whips out "evidence"
Anyone says "Osama bin Laden"
Anyone mentions "North Korea"
anytime anybody mentions the word "Vietnam"
Anyone mentions blogs
Anyone invokes the hurricane sympathy vote
Any time somebody says "WMD's"
Anyone mentions "Axis of Evil"
Anyone mentions "freedom"
Anyone says, "Jim, I'm glad you asked that question"
