There is no more imported beer on the Straight Talk Express-jet.

When McCain had a chartered Jet Blue plane, it was usually stocked with Heineken (among other fine European selections).

But last night when I inquired — for research purposes only — I was told the new plane (several weeks old actually) stocks only Bud and Bud Light. Those are, of course, the beers Cindy McCain's company distributes. I told the flight attendant I hope they add Stella once the In Bev deal closes...but that may not happen before election day.

For a candidate who says American workers can compete with anyone, this seems like an oddly protectionist bar menu.
