HAH! Too, true. Too, sadly, true.

Brilliant! Except, I see Mike Huckabee sneaking bites as he piously serves up grub at Glide and lambastes eaters for becoming wayward souls.

Not long ago (maybe 2 months ago) while hanging around the Mission on a Sunday afternoon, we noticed a ton of police presence. Found out later that Hillary Clinton was eating at Foreign Cinema that night.

No, Michael — we’re both wrong! It was the Revolutionary War but there’s a whisper campaign that he was seen wearing a red coat!

My lord, I never knew Mitt was so picky but a guy who straps his dog in a cage to the roof of his car then drives across the country is clearly not in his right mind.

Correction: John McCain served valiantly alongside Pershing in the Spanish-American War.

I laughed and laughed at Cheesecake Factory. But apparently Mitt is too food-phobic to enjoy the Bay Area's diversity.

Speaking of Mitt Romney's "vigilance"...it's not vigilance about nutrition, it bespeaks a control freak. Show me the greens, Mitt, show me the organics. (Rebuttal: "I can't afford organics"..."It's cheaper than chemo!")

Read this:

White House Chef Confirms Bush Is Crackers

Excerpt: "What did he eat? Almost exclusively BLTs, grilled-cheese sandwiches made with Kraft singles and white bread, peanut-butter-and-honey sandwiches, and hamburgers. Whichever item Scheib had at the ready, the president would reject."

Infantile food issues are the sign of a crippled mind. Not that I want Bourdain for president, but he'd be a helluva lot better than the current Occupant of the Very Very White House.

Cheers, Stephanie. Great piece: amusing and bold.

This NYTimes article discusses the candidates eating habits. I thought this was the scariest candidate food fact:
"Mitt Romney is so vigilant about nutrition that he eats the same thing every day: his wife's granola for breakfast, a chicken or turkey sandwich for lunch, and pasta, fish or chicken for dinner."
How will he ever deal with international relations?

That’s one way of deciding who to vote for…..by restaurant choice. Clever!
