Forget Terra! 'Kerry Sneaks in Fancy Food'!!!!!!

[russian33]

August 4, 2004 -- AT the same time they posed for pictures chomping down on fast food at Wendy's, John Kerry and John Edwards — the wealthiest presidential ticket of all time — had gourmet box lunches waiting for them in their bus.

The Kerry/Edwards photo-op campaign stop at Wendy's in upstate Newburgh, N.Y., last Friday included lots of blue-collar flesh-pressing and autograph-signing — but very little eating.

The reason? A member of the Kerry/Edwards advance team had ordered much fancier fare the night before from posh Nikola's Restaurant at the Newburgh Yacht Club at a cost of about $200, the Mid-Hudson News reports.

1. You can't eat that stuff constantly

and they have been on the road for a long time. I'm sure it was a welcome change from their usual fare.

2. Another reason to vote for them

They don't eat that fast food crap. Who WOULDN'T prefer something else? Good god.

3. Americans with taste. What could be more offensive to those without it.

4. Is this part of the "objects of humor and derision" assault by Bunnypants

that we heard would begin soon?

6. Gourmet Food catered and only $200.00????????????

How many did it serve?????? They should compare the cost of the MacDonald's versus the catered gourmet food. The average family of four dining at Mac's can cost $25.00 for crap. The Kerry/Edward's family seem to be ones that share and I am positive that everyone on that bus plus others shared in this banquet......cost per serving????

5. Highest fat content in the business

Wendy's burgers are so high in fat content that they mix in oatmeal to soak it up and keep the burgers from shrinking too much. So you get to eat all that extra fat. Their old slogan was "hot and juicy" and we know what they mean by "juice."

I am surprised they didn't claim the meal was:

French Onion Soup
French bread with buerre
Coquilles St. Jaques
a glass of white Bourdeaux (not too cold)
Beef Bourginon
Poulet Cordon Bleue
Haricort verte
Cheese plate
Creme brulee
French roasted coffee


... I'm hungry now

7. Super Size me!

I think not.

8. I HOPE THEY DON'T EAT at any fast food restaurant. They will get a heart

attack in no time. We need a live president.
