Well, the campaign is in full swing here in the States. It seems everyone has there own ideas on who would make a better leader. It's high time a.d.b catches up with the times!

I pose this question to the group: Who is a better Drunken Bastard --Bob Dole or Bill Clinton? Perhaps an independent candidate?

Definitely Bob Dole. Although the "official" account of how he got his withered right hand goes:

"In the middle of heavy shelling, Lieutenant Dole saw his radioman go down. As he crawled out of his foxhole to try to rescue the wounded soldier, he was hit by Nazi machine gun fire..."
I know better. A guy that was in WWII with Dole hangs out in the bar I frequent sometimes. According to Dick, Bob was pounding shots of kick-ass 180 proof moonshine that he had distilled from some canned corn in his foxhole. Not realizing that the stuff was so flamable, he attempted to light a cigarette while the jug of hootch was nearby. BOOM! The explosion nearly blew his hand off.

And that's why I think Bob Dole is the bigger DB.
