John Kasich ate pizza with a fork, that's what went wrong. And everyone is freaking out about it.

The Ohio governor somehow managed to alienate everyone amid the universally beloved act of eating pizza. It's almost impressive. You kind of have to respect, it right?

As with any politician's scandal, Kasich had to answer to the media.

"Look, look, the pizza came scalding hot, OK? And so I use a little fork," Kasich told Good Morning America today.

1. I love when they do this,it always cracks me up.

[DesertFlower]

2. my late husband used to eat it with a fork.

[No Vested Interest]

3. Much ado about nothing.

And I, an Ohioan, am no fan of Kasich.
Would never and have never voted for him, but I couldn't care less how he eats pizza.

[NBachers]

4. So what? I eat pizza with a knife and fork if it's too hot or sloppy to pick up, too.

Big F'in Deal!

Much ado about nothing

[Democat]

5. Impeach him!

And punish the waitperson as well.

[UtahJosh]

6. Reminds me of Hannity

Remember when Hannity made much ado about Senator Obama eating a burger with mustard instead of ketchup?

Yeah, there really *are* more important things to worry about.

[AxionExcel]

7. Unforgiveable (R)

How low can the Repubes go? Totally unAmerican. I am shocked.

[meaculpa2011]

8. The bigger question is...

Why the Hell did he go to Gino's?

Everybody knows the best pizza in New York is New Park!!!

And it's just a couple of blocks away.

[CTyankee]

9. but the best pizza in the U.S. is in New Haven!

Too bad Kaisich isn't coming here to sample it...

[meaculpa2011]

11. Best pizza or not, it's still New Haven.

[CTyankee]

16. i love it here in the People's Republic of New Haven...

There is a strong cultural aspect to New Haven. We have two wonderful art galleries, theatre and of course Yale...

[meaculpa2011]

18. Wow! Two art galleries! I'm gettin' on the train. n/t

[CTyankee]

19. are you in Noo Yawk?

[meaculpa2011]

24. Born and raised in Noo Yawk...

now I live on Lawn Guy-land.

[CTyankee]

25. I lived there for several years...had my 3 kids there...

We moved to D.C. and I went through a bad bout of homesickness for the city and D.C. was sure not NYC. You can get very sick of D.C. pretty easily...

[meaculpa2011]

27. I've spent a lot of time in the DC area...

even had an apartment in Alexandria for awhile. I had several clients there and between commuting and hotels I was going nuts.

New York has its attractions. We love it... and we hate it.

I'm ready for a change. Somewhere less crowded with fewer endless battles.

The kids don't want to move, which used to be the deciding factor. But at 26 and 23 can they come with us, or not.

[CTyankee]

30. I like the fact that I can hop on a train and get to NYC pretty fast...

and get to MoMA and uptown to the "house" museums (e.g. the Frick) for their exhibits or over to the Neue Galerie. However, I do love the museums in Boston and my daughter lives in the area and we take in the exhibits at the Gardner and the MFA regularly. Wonderful musuems!

[meaculpa2011]

32. Same here. We're in Long Island, but...

just outside the city limits. 35 minutes on the train. Driving can be 35 minutes or two hours.

We're at Lincoln Center once a week and in the Village every weekend.

The daily battle is getting to me however. Time to go. Far!

[madinmaryland]

36. We lived in Norwalk for a few years and Bridgeport for a couple and it was

nice to be able to take the train in. An hour or less from Norwalk, though I worked in the city, so on the weekends I was not really interested in going back into the city. My wife would come down to the city occasionally with our daughter.

[CTyankee]

40. I gotta get back...I'm more in Boston now than in NYC and while I love its museums

I feel I'm missing out on too much in NYC...

[meaculpa2011]

17. Pizza is the most personal of all foods. n/t

[meaculpa2011]

23. I had a 12 foot Sears Gamefisher...

with 5hp Johnson Seahorse outboard. Went halfies on it with a friend and we'd drag over to Shellbank, dunk it and go fishing when we were 12 years old.

I was there yesterday. My Dad still lives in the neighborhood.

[Myrina]

10. Given the multitude of things to deride Kasich for, this is some misplaced energy.

People are up in arms because he ate pizza with a fork, but not because of what he's done to the State of Ohio, or what he claims he will do to the rest of the country as President?

This country drives me nuts.

[liberalhistorian]

12. You beat me to it!

This kind of shit makes me crazy. The focus on stupid, trivial shit that has absolutely nothing to do whatsoever with anything of any importance, while the truly important issues (including, as you say, what he's done to Ohio and the kind of truly horrible person he really is) are actually considered trivial.

Then again, what do you expect from a country whose citizens care more about what Kim Kardashian is wearing, saying and marrying than anything else and who got up in arms about apparent "vote fraud" on American Idol but yawned and shrugged at REAL vote fraud in REAL elections (2000, anyone?)

[madinmaryland]

37. Pizza in Ohio SUCKS. The shit they love in SW Ohio would make you fucking gag.

NASTY SHIT!! And they cut the shit into postage stamp sized pieces so that you kind of have to eat the shit with a fork.

Fer Fuck Sake, Little Caeser's is better than most Dayton "pizza".

[unapatriciated]

13. He is lucky Jon Stewart has left The Daily Show...

[kentauros]

14. The upset ones should never look at any of the following then:

At a sit-down pizzeria, this is how it's done. You will never see a pizza come pre-cut into "slices," as that would cause the very soupy toppings to seep underneath and turn the whole thing soggy. You could try to manually cut it into slices, but they'll be so floppy that you'll need several extra fingers just to hold them out.

(I think they make a good point with regard to why pizza slices get soggy and how to prevent it.)

21. That's no Kasich scandal... THIS is a real Kasich scandal:

[rbrnmw]

22. post of the day

This Ohioan thanks you!!

[liberal N proud]

26. New Yorkers have Pizza

Iowa has corn dogs!








What's that old saying? When in Rome...

[meaculpa2011]

28. The old saying is...

NEVER EAT IN PUBLIC!!!

[CTyankee]

31. Go to Brussels. Everybody eats in the street there, just walking along.

They eat these rectangular waffles in little paper sleeves with powdered sugar on them. I've never seen anything like it before...

[meaculpa2011]

33. Not if you're a politician followed by a phalanx of photogs. n/t

[CTyankee]

35. and not eating those obscenely large sausages...

[madinmaryland]

38. Was that really fucking necessary? ...

[rug]

41. What synapse triggered that reaction to corn dogs?

[morningfog]

34. Kasich has finally, FINALLY made it as a presidential candidate.

[mackerel]

39. My kids beg me to eat pizza with a fork.

I always answer, "wha?! You don't like when I shuffle a whole slice in my mouth?!"

I like pizza.
