Hillary Clinton has been offered an “endless” supply of vodka for doing a full page ad for Svedka, which apparently is a kind of vodka (Iron Rangers prefer brown bottled booze). I imagine I’m not the only one writing about this, so kudos to Svedka for lowering the bar. We all know Hils likes the boilermakers, but if you’re going to miss the nomination by a whisker you might as well get free booze.
Now, to be fair, she’s probably not going to take the deal. The ad in which the offer is made is vaguely sexist (in a confusing, kind of creepy sort of way) and frankly she can do better. The coupon is only good until the end of the election season. True political operatives know that the drinkin’ season lasts much longer than the election season.
On the other hand, this is so much cooler than Bob Dole’s 1997 potato chip Super Bowl ad after he lost. And, if she does this, we get to make another mark on my “Countdown to the Apocalypse” checklist.
1. Norm Coleman runs as “values” candidate (CHECK!)
2. “Incredible Hulk” released as nearly identical major motion picture twice, despite failure of first. (CHECK!)
3. Major presidential candidate advertises for hard liquor (PENDING!)
4. Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” used in hemorrhoid cream commercial. (PENDING!)
5. APOCALYPSE!
They didn’t want her to take the deal. They just wanted you to post about it so they’d get free advertising.
Sucker!
