New “Primary” Poll – Evan Williams Resorts to Dirty Politics
As you may have read or heard, while campaigning a few weeks ago, Senator Hillary Clinton made a campaign stop at a local Crown Point, Indiana, bar and was photographed sipping a whiskey. It has now come to my attention that my good friends at Evan Williams Bourbon have sent bottles of their product to Senators Clinton and Obama in the hope that they will be seen drinking Evan Williams when they come to Kentucky in the coming weeks for the Presidential primary election. A gesture such as this serves only as political maneuvering and undermines the electoral process.
Evan Williams bourbon is clearly distraught over the fact that in Indiana, Senator Clinton chose to sip a whiskey that was not Evan Williams bourbon. This obviously caused Evan Williams to resort to political ploys to try to win the favor of Senators Obama and Clinton when they visit Kentucky, and in turn, unfairly influence the fine citizens there. In an electoral season full of strife and controversy, it is important for someone to speak out for the people, and as the patron father of “The People’s Bourbon,” I am confident that the people will ultimately settle this by seeing past the gimmicks of Evan Williams and declare Jeremiah Weed Kentucky’s true bourbon drink of choice.
I must say, I am offended by Evan Williams’ political posturing during these important times for our country. So, in response, I am announcing a new “primary” in the form of a poll at JeremiahWeedBourbon.com, which asks you, the people, to vote on what bourbon the Presidential candidates should sip when they arrive in Kentucky. By taking this issue directly to the people, we can move past political ploys and settle this issue in a democratic fashion. We can only hope Evan Williams doesn’t send bottles to Super Delegates in order to try to unfairly affect this critical electoral process further.
You can read the official press release here.
Get out and VOTE at www.JeremiahWeedBourbon.com !
I remain,
Sincerely yours,
Mr. Jeremiah Weed
