Of all the ink spilled about
last week's notorious Beer Summit, in which President Obama, police sergeant James Crowley and Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates gathered at the White House for a brewski, none have been more hilarious than this
Washington Post recap. Writer Dana Milbank not only sums up the media's "tipsy" coverage of the affair but suggests our commander in chief take a cue from American beer names to address other diplomacy issues.
To wit:
Sen. John Ensign would be welcomed to the White House with a quaff of
Horny Devil, a California brew, whereas "if a certain former Alaska governor tries to challenge Obama in 2012, he can pour her an
Arctic Devil Barley Wine." An equal opportunity satirist, Milbank also takes down "hot-tempered chief of staff Rahm Emanuel" by suggesting he indulge in
Permanently Pissed Off Pilsner.
How do you feel about President Obama's choice of Bud Light -- a brew owned by a Belgian conglomerate -- for sipping?
