Functionally ReTodded

After criticizing our President yesterday for sucking off giant corporation Anheuser Busch and selecting Bud Light for the RUBS (Retarded Unnecessary Beer Summit) with the race card playing professor and the completely uncomfortable policeman, I received a mountain of feedback (two comments) stating that Anheuser Busch was now in fact owned by InBev, a non-American company.

I forgot about the fact that InBev had bought AB last year.  But that fact actually makes my point even more sound.

Our President sat down for an idiotic meeting that looked like it’s sole purpose was too further embarrass and make uncomfortable a cop who was just doing his job.  And at this meeting, each man had the chance to pick whatever beer he wanted.  the cop took Blue Moon (which I really like), the professor said Amstel and something else, and the President took Bud Light.

Not Sam Adams, a beer made by a company and a man that embody the American dream.  He had an idea, started small, made a good quality product, grew the business and is now a success story without having had to give up on his beliefs.

Or he could have picked a brew from any of a number of great American beer makers.  He could have chosen:

1)  Dogfish Head, a great line of beers brewed right there in Deleware. They have some great IPA’s among other greats.

2)  New Belgium Brewery, maker of Fat Tire, one of my favorites and one that is now finally available on the East coast.

3)  Flying Dog Brewery, maker of a number of great beers and they also have awesome packaging.

If the President was trying to make a statement with his beer, what he actually said is "I suck and I don’t really like beer."  Nice work sir.

And as for the gentleman that commented regarding my criticism of Bud and Bud Light despite my voracious appetite for said beers and their cousins from Miller, I say this.

Were I a man of unlimited means and power, do you really really think I’d be drinking shitty beer all the time?  I buy Miller Lite or Bud Select or Bud Light because they cost $18 for 30 of them.  If I had a team of secret service agents shopping with someone else’s credit card, I’d either have Sam Adams or a 24 year old single malt Scotch.

Having the resources to choose from anything and picking Bud Lite is either cowardice or ignorance.  I’ll let you pick which.
