Most working people I know don't label themselves after their vices. For example I don't call myself Joey Pot-head.
Epdate to Previous post: Apparently the CCH indie lines went DOWN when Palin said her catch phrase "Joe Six-Pack". I am really curious what Mothers Against Drunk Driving has to say about this line????
Considering her husband has a DWI, what sort of example does this really set for our kids? I am no teetolaler but if there are some people with connections to MADD I would be curious what they have to say?
Thanks.
Who in the hell is Joe Six-Pack? Does he wander the streets of Alaska in search of a lazy boy, a remote control and a place to chuck his empty cans? I have no idea.
Most working people I know don't really label themselves after their vices. For example I don't call myself Joey Pot-head. Or Billy Doughnut. I actually think Palin's constant use of the phrase "Joe six-pack" is sort of condescending. As if regular people have nothing better to do than drink six beers. Oh wait. Maybe we don't? Yes - yes we do! We men have our children to think about, our bills to pay and work in the morning. We really can't afford to spend our time drinking six-packs all day. In fact if you are drinking six packs every day you are probably not employed or you should get into a 12 step program. Maybe become a Jay-Z 40 ounce. Moderation is the key.
I do wonder how Christians feel about this label. Do they have to explain to their children what Joe Six-Pack means? Do they say yep - Sarah is right about drinking beer. She is a six pack drinker. It's part of being a good American and good Republican and a good Christian. Is it part of the Hannitization of America?
I think it's time we let Sarah know how offensive and inappropriate it is to constantly refer to alcoholism on nation teevee. I think we should condemn her for advocating drinking six packs! MADD should get into this. What kind of a responsible and moral person refers repeatedly to booze in a Vice Presidential debate?
For our kids sake - for your kids sake - please Sarah put the beer down.
