What goes for scandalous politics in Vermont these days is a pretty low bar. There Governor Peter Shumlin is in hot water for referring to the state's plethora of craft and micro brews as "Gucci beers" with their ridiculous $5 pricetag, while the Governor espoused his preference for the working man's libation, Budweiser. Defenders of Vermont's micro-brew industry have since sent the Governor notes of outrage. [Green Mountain Daily]
