I promise it’ll be better than the last time I attempted this, you know why? Because that bad ass bitch, Myrtlebeachbum will be here with me! So race home from work, grab your favorite tasty cocktails or spark your best buds and join us back here at 8CST/9EST for the fireworks!
Mwahahahaha…Oh look! Here I am! I feel so buttery and punchy, like I’ve been spending too much time on the deck of a Gatlinburg chalet or something. Off to Krystal now. Check y’all later. XOXO, MBB

can we setup a national drinking game to go with it??
September 26, 2008 at 3:48 pm
yesh! every mention of “change” or “maverick” should def merit a shot.
September 26, 2008 at 3:58 pm
HuffPo has some ideas, M:

@myrtlebeachbum: wow, it will take me hours just to gather up all that liquor and mixers.
this one is good :
Every time Obama says change everyone has to switch seats and drink the other person’s drink of choice.
by the end, everyone will be sick of change! literally.
September 26, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Dammit. I am going to meet some friends in like 10 minutes. I will miss the fun.
Can you two do each debate? I promise to come back for them, but tonight I am drowning my ass in booze for the bailout.
September 26, 2008 at 4:24 pm
@bowlingfordollars: so are we, darling – so are we. i never said my portion of the debate would be coherent.
September 26, 2008 at 4:29 pm
BOOZEH! God, I’ve never been so excited for a debate in my life.
September 26, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Aww, I’m sorry I’m gonna miss this, but it’ll be on at like 4AM my time. I may be doing American Studies, but I’m not THAT interested. Besides, I just got back from Singalong Sound of Music and I’m not ready to come down from that magnificent high yet.
But if any of you know where one might be able to watch the whole debate in like 10 hours (on CNN or something?) I’d love it if you’d provide a link. At one point or another.
Have fun drinking, girls!
September 26, 2008 at 5:36 pm
How about every time Mac Daddy denies Republican Party responsibility for the financial crisis, you drink a Cocksucking Cowboy?
September 26, 2008 at 5:59 pm
@haguenite: probably HuffPo will have it.

Oh this is awesome! I’m excited ! I shall be glued to BCP.
September 26, 2008 at 6:34 pm
I saw everyone take a shot every time McCain describes himself as a “maverick.”
September 26, 2008 at 6:52 pm
I’m so excited to see you guys cover this. But, I have learned my lesson with my self-made convention speech drinking game – with wine – that I shall attempt to only calmly sip my drink (ha).
September 26, 2008 at 7:06 pm
I was thisclose to taking my laptop with me to the bar just so I could be in on this thang! Unfortunately, I called ahead and their WiFi is not public yet — the owner’s not there and he’s the only one with the password. SOB! Have fun, and I guarantee I’ll come back and read every word.
September 26, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Ummmm, why are they having the debate – the WSJ had the ad stating that McCain won the debate?!?!
September 26, 2008 at 7:15 pm
do we have a channel of choice?
September 26, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Oo, good thought MsScarlet. I think I will watch on FoxNews, just for the LOL factor. Perhaps Kadinsky can cover Obot HQ over at CNN?
I tried to do my duty and watch PBS’ coverage of the conventions, but man – it was no-frills. I need my bling.
September 26, 2008 at 7:19 pm
I think I’ll stick w/ MSNBC – I can’t stomach Fox. And just FYI MBB – Joe and Rosie (mom and dad to those who don’t know them) are visiting this weekend so Dad and I are chomping at the bit for this shit to start. Mom is just trying to keep us under control. It’s going to be a wild night in Alexandria for sure! Yeeehawwww!
September 26, 2008 at 7:21 pm
It’s a family affair, MsScarlet!
And now I will confess that I am watching Fox News for Juan Williams AND the LOL factor.
September 26, 2008 at 7:51 pm
I was on ABC (HD) but just switched to CNN…
September 26, 2008 at 7:54 pm
God bless it. I came home just for this. I’m ready bitches.
September 26, 2008 at 7:55 pm
I’m watching C-SPAN. Because frills frighten me. Jim Leher is telling me that he’s going to ask some questions. This is vital information.
September 26, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Who’s ready to rumble? Or watch some rumbling.
September 26, 2008 at 8:01 pm
p.s. Live thread is up!
September 26, 2008 at 8:03 pm
*CLAP-CLAP* Woot-woot! for Obama!
September 26, 2008 at 8:05 pm
Did anyone notice the re-appearance of the flag pin? Did he think Gibson was going to be moderating again?
September 26, 2008 at 8:08 pm
Yes McCain – you have been around “a little while” – that’s the problem – you’re part of the problem!
He isn’t making any sense . . .
September 26, 2008 at 8:22 pm
He sounds like an angry bitter elf!
