Kerry and the "Beer Bong- from NY Times.

[wisteria]

Politicians face all manner of peril whenever they wade into, er, festive environments.




Rodney White/Des Moines Register
John Kerry was offered a "beer bong" before the Iowa State football game Saturday.


“Beer bong” refers to a tubular, funnel-like device deployed to “inhale” large quantities of beer in a few seconds.

But did Mr. Kerry actually inhale?

4. We callede it a funnel at UConn

I think of a bong referring to a decidedly less legal substance. If it was Bush, it would be embarrassing. But with Kerry, it showed he was somebody they wanted to PARTY with!!
