These days, I am not known for my drinking.
These days…
However, I am not without experience. And it’s that experience that tells me that today’s “Suds Summit” was an abject failure. And here’s why.
Unless you weigh 95 pounds soaking wet, it takes more than one beer to get the brutal truth. I mean, look at the picture.
You know these guys drank their beer, talked superficially about the incident and went to meet the press.
If they really wanted to mend fences, there should have been a five beer minimum before the conversation started. Minimum.
By then, Biden would have blurted out something like, “Skip, I can’t believe what you said about Borley’s mother! That took some balls!”
Then Skip and Obama start laughing because of A) Biden’s reference to Crowley as Borley and B) what Skip said about Crowley’s mama. Then Crowley fires back with something, more beers arrive, more drinking followed by lesser inhibitions until finally you get this:
Everyone’s too drunk to hurt one another, but also too drunk to keep from saying things they normally wouldn’t.
Then, the truth finally comes out and some progress can be made. They go out for some Five Guys, Biden in the back of the limo yelling, “GIMME THE KEYS! GIMME THE KEYS!”
Finally, they get to the point where they let bygones be bygones and they walk away cool with one another.
What you had today was just a show to make Obama look like an everyman. Nothing was solved there.
