Hillary is Wrong

Tue Feb 19, 2008 at 11:22:38 AM PDT

So I have been a srong supporter of Hillary Clinton's candidacy for a very long time, but this is the last straw.

I've heard all the arguments against her, and while some had strong points, none convinced me, until now.

According to Fox News, Hillary Clinton drinks Blue Moon with an Orange in it.

This is completely unacceptable. Blue Moon is a Wheat Beer in the Belgian style, and is one of the better "craft" beers that is generally available. However, it is sweet enough, and being brewed in the Belgian tradition, already contains spices and ingredients other than malt, water, and yeast.

So when I read this:

And after offering to have a beer with voters at her last stop in Madison, WI, she[Hillary Clinton] expressed her fondness for a good brew, saying she’s been known to work "both sides of the beer aisle." Glass of wine in hand, she said a particular favorite on the road is a wheat beer called Blue Moon — which she likes with an orange dropped in.

Not just a slice of orange on the rim, she likes the orange dropped in. This is messy, too sweet, and ruins the nuanced flavors of the beer. Absolutely appalling. I cannot vote for someone who would so desecrate a beer.

The only thing that will turn me back to her from Obama would be if I discover that he drinks Bud Light.
