A Votre Sante!
Dr. Vino has compiled the all important electoral guide for wine lovers.
Not exactly a surprise — Kerry wins.
Reading about the politics of wine reminded me of a legendary appearance on Crossfire by Justin Vaisse, during the pathetic “freedom-fries” era:
CARLSON: But just, honestly, just correct the misperception here. This is not simply an effort by the administration to beat up on France. This is coming — there’s a deep wellspring of anti-French feeling in this country, and it’s going to have consequences. This is a bottle of French wine. This is a bottom [sic] of American wine.
(SCORNFUL SILENCE)
VAISSE: It is bigger.
CARLSON: And it’s bigger. That’s exactly right. More forceful. There will be Americans who boycott French products. This in the end is really going to hurt France, isn’t it?
VAISSE: No, I think it is going hurt wine lovers.
Wine lovers have long memories. We will vote en masse for a fromage and pate-loving, Chardonnay-swilling liberal. Fuck that PB&J ‘n milk bullshit. Voting, like so many good things in life, is for adults.
