For a while there, we were worried Hurricane Isaac would threaten plans for Gov. Nikki Haley’s primetime speech at the Republican National Convention in Tampa this week. Luckily, her appearance was only delayed until Tuesday at 9:00pm — which means Palmetto Public Record can still bring you the official Nikki Haley RNC drinking game.
Most networks are still deciding whether to carry the speech live, so look here for a link to the webcast shortly before her speech begins. (Update: Look for the video below the rules, plus a PPR liveblog) We’ll also be keeping a running tally on Twitter, and will archive a video of the speech in this post in case you’re not able to imbibe on a work night.
The rules are simple — just drink whenever Gov. Haley says/does something on the list. We recommend sticking to beer in order to avoid alcohol poisoning, though we’ve included a few Bourbon Bonus rules at the bottom to keep things exciting. For best results, have the Nikki “DJ Trikki” Haley Mixtape playing in the background. And good luck… Your liver is going to need it!

WATCH THE SPEECH:

I am disappointed – I didn’t see anything about ethics reform – surely that one has to be in there somewhere
Her audience at the RNC has absolutly no interest n ethics reform.
How about her facebook page – I didn’t see anything about facebook either.
