Political Product Placement

via CNN

The president was drinking Bud Light, Biden was drinking Buckler (a nonalcoholic beer), Gates was drinking Samuel Adams Light and Crowley was drinking Blue Moon.

That's what qualifies as news these days, huh? In the Politics section, no less. 3 years before the next election...

Who do you think paid for that? I could picture Obama getting a blue-collar boost out of being seen drinking Bud Light, but whatever that gained him would be counteracted by Biden drinking a Buckler. Which means it must have been brought to you by the brewing companies.

I can't help but think of Tommy Lee Jones in The Client:

"Hey kid, would you like a Sprite? Here you go, kid - a cold, delicious, refreshing Sprite. We lifted the kid's fingerprints off a can of Sprite. We sure are lucky he wanted a Sprite. Then again, who wouldn't want a Sprite? Kids everywhere drink Sprite. I want you to search every Sprite Machine, Hen House, Sprite Can, and bottle of Sprite in a six-pack (of Sprite) radius. Have I mentioned Sprite? Sprite, Sprite, Sprite!"
