"In the White House there is no beer"

You've probably heard of this by now:


[A] misreading of the teleprompter led [Sen. John] McCain to sound a little bit more like a teetotaler fraternity president than a presidential candidate. Speaking about his use of the veto pen to eliminate wasteful spending, he declared, "I will veto every single beer, um, bill with earmarks."

Ever since I heard it, I've had this song in my head:



And now you do as well. You're welcome.

Consider this an open thread, in which you can discuss your favorite beer-themed songs. I'll open the bidding with this one, since otherwise people will ask me why I didn't mention it.

Hmm, he can't read...according to Kos he can't manage his personal finances (he did after all say that he didn't know diddly about economics) and he talks out of both sides of his mouth (vis a vis privatization of social security, you know, he was against it before he was for it). Does this guy honestly think he stands a chance in the fall?

Don't forget Sekula-Gibbs dancing to the Beer Barrel Polka while the mariachi band follows her to the ballot box.
