This Bud is for all you naïve hyperpatriotic suckers

Otherwise known as “For a Few Dollars More, St. Louis Version.”

After trotting out every patriotic flag in the book, and getting Missouri’s Congressional and Senatorial delegations to follow suit, Anheuser-Busch decided it was hunky-dory. with a takeover by InBev, for a few dollars more of $70 a share rather than the original offer of $65.

You flag-waving hyperpatriotic types got a well-deserved hypocrisy smackup.
