One Red Headed Slut And A Car Bomb, Please!
For as long as you and I have been drunk, the Irish Pub on Walnut Street has been synonymous with “asshole.” So long, in fact, that there are old wives’ tales about the bar’s centrifugal force making it a sort of cosmic magnet for assholery of every dimension seen in the human parade. So let’s make it official, no? And get some sort of super cosmic asshole to cement the bar’s rep now and forever more as the definitive “ANYWHERE BUT HERE” of the Rittenhouse area, if not all of Center City itself? Hmm, who could we get? Hey, how about Sarah Palin! She’s like the Michael Jackson of assholes! Think we can get her? No? THINK AGAIN. Palin will be watching the debate at Irish Pub — provided John McCain can succeed in his totally pussy move of making it look to rubes like he’s “fixed” the financial crisis on Friday afternoon and then un-cancel the debate which, come on, he never should have had the right to cancel in the first place. So, yeah. Palin. Friday night. Drinking with other people you would not cross the street to spit on. Fun times.

Oh…. this has a lot of comedic potential. I may have to go to the Irish Pub Friday night!

re: Irish Pub
last time I was there, the bartender sorta threw the pint of lager in my direction spilling about 1/4 of it. I quietly cleaned up the mess then just sorta flung my coaster to an empty section (the glass wall leading to the main dining room).
that’s when they kicked me out and told me to never to show there again. Yeah, no problem.
And this was early on a Sunday when they were empty.
Btw, I was very hungover and definitely needed a full pint.

Looks like she is already practicing the VP’s “undisclosed location” maneuver according to the Fox article.
I suspect this will be an invitation only type event, or an RSVP kind of thing. High profile Philly and suburban R’s all insisting upon driving their ginormous SUVs into town and parking 2 feet off the curb will abound. I know, I witnessed this in Media this week. A sea of red-donned a-holes speeding up and down our streets, parking on curbs, parking on corners, in general just annnoying me with their presence.
I wonder if Pat Burrell will show up. That seems to be one of his favorite haunts.

Do we know which Irish Pub? I’m assuming the class one on 22nd and Walnut?

Which Irish Pub? The one around Rittenhouse or the one off 12th? You’d think the one just a block N. of Planned Parenthood would be the non-starter, but it’s also so close to the Walnut St. Theater and hey! they’re showing State Fair and that’s the sort of culture Palin can get behind.
Seriously, I think this attempt to come off in the national media of Palin being “down with the common people” by playing off Irish stereotypes (and an audience ignorant of Center City demographics) will be scrubbed as soon as her handler gets wind of protest plans and she’ll end up hiding out in the Union League.

At the same time legendary songstress Carole King will be in town stomping for Obama.

At least now she can have first hand knowledge of date rape to back up her policy position.

Oh boy.
The Irish Pub + Sarah Palin = my head exploding.

I am a professional illustrator. I live nearby to the Irish Pub (it is the one near Rittenhouse, according to Philly.com). I am going to make a sign.
Suggestions?
