Literally the Most Fun Presidential Debate Drinking Game Ever

Okay so I've been looking all morning for a good drinking game to play tonight with my nerdy friends as we spend our Friday evenings in front of the television watching the presidential debate instead of hitting up the hoppin DC bar scene. I don't think many people were posting their game rules this morning because it was still up in the air whether McCain was going to show or not, but now that Magoo is coming (supposedly, unless the bat signal reappears), several sites have published their drinking game rules. But I just decided to make my own because it's straightforward and, I think, actually playable.

Literally the Most Fun Presidential Debate Drinking Game Ever

-As a warm up, chug your drink if both candidates show up.
-Take one sip of the drink of the person to your right every time McCain starts a sentence with "my friends"
-Take one sip of the drink of the person to your left every time Obama starts a sentence with "look."
-Take one sip every time McCain contradicts a statement he made earlier in the week.
-Take a sip every time McCain says "reform"
-Take a sip every time Obama says "change"
-Take a sip every time either candidate says "same old failed policies"
-Give the tv the finger and take a sip every time either candidate compliments the other.
-Trade your drink with someone else and chug it whenever the figure $700 billion is mentioned.
-Drink the entire length of every pause Obama takes between the subject and predicate of a sentence.
-Drink for 2 seconds every time Wall Street and Main Street are mentioned in the same sentence.
-Drink for 4 seconds every time either candidate blames the media for misrepresenting him.
-Drink for 5 and a half seconds every time McCain mentions being a POW. If you finish your drink, break the can/bottle/glass on your forehead.
-Drink for 7 seconds every time McCain can't remember how many houses he owns.
-Toast your neighbors and drink for 8 seconds every time Obama compares McCain to Bush.
-Get on your knees, look to Russia, make the sign of the cross, and chug your drink whenever Sarah Palin is mentioned.
-Waterfall every time McCain says Rezko, Wright, or Ayers.
-Waterfall every time Obama says Davis, Fiorina, Gramm, or Keating.

wow, please post rules for Thursday's VP debate. I will be all by myself - on my couch - in my apartment in NJ...alone. But this sounds like fun!
