Adolphus Busch IV, the great-grandson of the founder of Anheuser-Busch, maker of Budweiser Budweiser beer, yesterday quit the National Rifle Association in outrage at its role in blocking legislation that would have expanded background checks for gun buyers in America.

Hmm, so a quisling wanna-be is leaving because the NRA isn’t accommodating ENOUGH?? Searching for downside......[crickets].........
“Bud...unwise....er....”

It’s filtered through a Clydesdale.
Not that Bud tastes any better...
I quit drinking their products after they sold the company to foreigners.
What is it about the grandkids ruining great businesses...Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, etc?
He’s in lockstep with Senator John McCain.
Wife Cindy McCain is the owner of the Budweiser distributorship in Phoenix, AZ.
Well, I’d have to buy a Bud so I could boycott his beer. Never liked it since the first one.
Didn’t buy their mud water anyway, so guess I can’t threaten to abandon them.
But, just on principles, Adolphus IV, shove it up your smelly Obama and keep it there.
Need to try them - been drinking Shiner mostly for my regional(and Beck’s/St Pauli otherwise).
Bud sucked before, but now I definitely won’t drink it.
Boo hoo
My Dad stocked his fridge with Bud,,,,, cuz he knew I wouldn’t drink it!
bye bye Bud... Your beer always did suck...
Can’t get Yuengling west of the Mississippi...snotty reminders courtesy of every snarky barkeep I met while travelling.
Next time, I’ll bring my own...it’s the best!
Definitely better than Roller Dam Red :-)
His name is August. His middle name is Adolphus but no one calls him that. He’s either August or “the Fourth.”
Frankly I don’t see why his resignation is newsworthy, in the sense of being picked up by Forbes. Busch IV wasn’t on the NRA’s board. He was just a regular member. Who cares if he resigns — in a quarter that has seen the NRA’s net membership rise dramatically? (The answer is that the writer for Forbes is a huge gun-grabber, as the full article and his posts in its comments make quite clear.)
And no, this Bud’s not for me! I prefer to taste beer when I drink beer.
August (not Adolph(us)) may not be gay. After all, he’s ended up with more dead young ladies (in his car and in his house) than Ted Kennedy.
Kokanee is my go-to lager. I suppose I could boycott, and provoke war with the Canadians.
NO, no it’s not. Quit drinking the swill years ago. :-)
Me either!! None will be in this house ever again.
