beer summit recap.

The beer summit recap, with bad news all around and all roles predefined and unchallenged:

Elitist egghead Henry Louis Gates switches from the urban rebellious irie mon Red Stripe to the WASP-y Sam Adams, a beer for people who'd rather drink imports but can't decide between Stella Artois or Heineken.

Ordinary working-class cop (a cop?!) orders Blue Moon Belgian White (a cop?!). Sure, that'll go over well in the station house. That's like, I'd rather have a Coors, but since you're buying, I'll take the fanciest-sounding beer that's written in chalk on the blackboard menu.

Bold visionary Obama reverses course and changes his order from Bud to Bud Light. Bud Light? Obama? How timid, tepid, middle-of-the-road, Suburban housewife, poll-tested, boring, global conglomerate can you get? Where is the Pabst Blue Ribbon, the Yuengling, the Genesee, the Stroh's?

And Joe Biden joins them with a Buckler. Say it ain't so, Joe. A Buckler? A Buckler?! A non-alcoholic beer that is the laughingstock of the Dutch? (Wikipedia knows about it already and it's all due to the guy from this post.) Joe, you might as well go back to the Veluwe.

And the woman who called 911? At home, trying to defend her honor, but the guys would have prolly bought her round after round of Long Island Ice Tea.
