[AndyA]

7. Do as I say, not as I do. Typically Republican. n/m

[CBGLuthier]

8. Now that puts a smile on my face

Between that nasty piss water they sell and the family's homophobia and RW extremeism it just makes me smile.

[El Supremo]

18. His uncle Bill isn't a bad guy.

He's given tons to Democrats.

It's his father Joe who was the Nazi.

[MidwestTransplant]

9. Don't get high off your own supply

[UpInArms]

10. drinking up the profits?

[Tight_rope]

59. My thoughts exactly!

[Deja Q]

11. WHOOPS!!

[LiberalinNC]

12. Doesn't Coors commercials to drive responsibly????

Sounds as if he needs to learn a lesson from his commercials.

[El Supremo]

13. We learn about it 6 1/2 weeks later????!!!!!

The rich Republicans always cover things up.

[denverbill]

17. Wow. I didn't even notice the date.

Anyone else gets there name in the paper the same day, even pro athletes.

[madeline_con]

20. "... on May 29, according to public documents."

Let's blame this one on the local press. :hangover:

[FreeStateDemocrat]

28. Cover up newspapers always check police logs and publish all drunk drivers

In my town they publish the police log several times or more a week.

[ladjf]

14. The tight bastard should have hired a chauffeur.

[maxsolomon]

15. crucify like Patrick Kennedy

cmon, GOP media. let's see it.

[Dr Fate]

19. Democrats with media access have to do it.

Republican paid "journalists" wont do it.

If you want to see this on TV, then you want Democrats with media access to bring it up.

[maxsolomon]

27. & who would that be?

Joementum?

[Dr Fate]

30. I've seen Dean, Kerry, Obama, Hillary etc. on TV plenty of times.

And if Harry Reid or any other Top Democrat is having trouble getting equal time, please show me their public statement where they make that charge against the media.

If that public statement against media bias does not exist, then I see 2 problems, not 1.

[maxsolomon]

34. point taken

i don't watch TV lately

[Human Torch]

16. Obviously he couldn't have been drinking his own mouse whiz...er.."BEER"

WORST beer on the planet.

:patriot:

[Gato Moteado]

22. coors lite is a watery, beer flavored drink.......

....i doubt you could get drunk from it. regular coors is just plain piss.

so, yeah, i'm betting he wasn't drinking a coors product but rather a good beer instead.

[Cha]

37. Maybe he was drinking

the hard stuff..

[saigon68]

53. Maybe he Kicked Back a couple of 40's of this Stuff

Alcohol content: 8.2%
Bull Ice
"High Gravity Ice Brewed Malt Liquor"
Website: www.pabst.com
Brewery: The Stroh Brewery Co., San Antonio, TX


Maybe he was "Brown Bagging It"

[Tight_rope]

60. Yeah...Like Guenis or Heineken

[mountainvue]

43. He used to drink Coors regular out of a

Waterford crystal glass. I kid you not.

[YOY]

48. A close tie with Old Milwaukee or Milwaukees Best

I thank God for Sam Adams and Yuengling for proving that Americans can do beer right.

Coors is nasty swill for people with no taste...not unlike Republican rhetoric.

[Ian David]

21. A Repuke charged with something other than pedophilia or corruption!

I never cease to be amazed!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

23. Horse piss gets you drunk?

Who knew? :shrug:

[madmark]

25. the most interesting element is was he drunk on Coors?

[joeunderdog]

62. Coors Light contains more alcohol than any other light beer. nt

[rayofreason]

26. How ironic!

[Hawkeye-X]

29. Had to happen sooner or later.

Now he has a DUI for a record. He's now a true-blue Bush Chimp Repuke.

[NYC Liberal]

31. Probably time for a cabinet position!

Which one is likely to open up soon?

[Megahurtz]

32. What?

:silly:

[Democrats_win]

33. Explains why they want the gov't to only make war: freedom for crooks!

[Cha]

35. How freakin' embarassing!

If ya didn't plan ahead for a ride then call a limo!

[WCGreen]

36. I'm glad Bud.....

Was weisser than to drive the Horse...

[highnooner]

38. I'll have another Coors, please

[DarkTirade]

39. My question is... what was he drinking?

'cause if you can afford quality instead of the crap he makes, then I'd buy better... :)

[izzybeans]

41. Probably French champagne

or a high end scotch. Every crack dealer knows better than to dive into their own product; well only when marketing requires it.

[izzybeans]

40. As a relative of someone in the beer industry this will be grist for the

water cooler.

Drink responsibly has always been the wink wink of the marketplace. His lawyer will get him out of it.

[grannylib]

42. Thank God no one was injured or killed...I have NO TOLERANCE for

drunk drivers....NONE.

[Aviation Pro]

44. Yet another Republican/Fascist/Nazi alcoholic....

...Gawd that party has so many tipplers that I think the best Democrat/Progressive strategy on election days is to open up a free beer tent in heavily GOP leaning districts. They'd drink themselves into a stupor and forget to vote.

[saracat]

45. it says "suspicion of" Didn't they test him? Apparently he was only cited

for"failing to obey a traffic device" So rich Republicans who admit to drunk driving don't get tested or charged? But rich Dems do?

[mod mom]

46. Is there a mug shot we can plaster around the internet?

[liberalla]

47. I hope they have cameras there when he goes to court next week!

"Coors, 59, is scheduled to appear in court next Thursday."

Olbermann might like to reveal this info... hmmm....

[karlrschneider]

49. He must've been drinking his competition...it'd take 430 bottles of Coors

to get drunk...
:eyes:

[JackDragna]

51. No way that could happen..

..after six or so, most people pass out from all the other crap in Coors. ;)

[proud2BlibKansan]

50. December 2008

He will be pardoned.

[killbotfactory]

52. Hahahahahha

Now THAT's irony.

But hey, he's just taking after the example Bush and Cheney have set.

[Toots]

54. Makes him eligible for President now doesn't it?

Let's see Bush* has two DUIs and Cheney has three. One more for this guy and he should run in '08

[Judi Lynn]

63. Good point! He needs to get busy if he intends to get anywhere! n/t

Beer Exec Pete Coors Confirms He Was Cited in May for Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol

By P. SOLOMON BANDA
DENVER Jul 14, 2006 (AP)— Beer company executive, chief commercial pitcher and former Senate candidate Pete Coors confirmed Thursday he was cited in May for driving under the influence of alcohol after leaving a friend's wedding celebration.

"I made a mistake," Coors said in a prepared statement. "I should have planned ahead for a ride. For years, I've advocated the responsible use of our company's products. That's still my message, and our company's message, and it's the right message.
(snip)

He was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence and cited for failing to obey a traffic control device.

Coors rolled through a stop sign a block from his home and was stopped by the officer in his driveway, company spokeswoman Kabira Hatland said. She said his blood-alcohol content following a breath test was 0.088 percent, above the legal limit of 0.08 percent.

[yellowcanine]

56. Ha! I'll lay good money he didn't get loaded on "his company's products"

Not unless one can drink piss flavored water and get drunk.

[ronnykmarshall]

57. Was he drinking Bud?

[KansDem]

58. Q: "Have you ever tasted Srooc?"

A: "That's 'Coors' coming back up..." :puke:

[truebrit71]

61. He obviously hadn't been using his product...

...You can't use Coors to get pissed.....it's not beer....
