Fine Gourmet at the White House

By Michael D. Shear
You've won the Republican nomination. You've been invited by the President to the White House for lunch in the private dining room off the Oval Office. So what's on the menu? Steak? Seafood? Something French?

Hot dogs.

"He said he was having a hot dog, so I had a hot dog," Sen. John McCain told skeptical reporters aboard his campaign plane about his lunch yesterday.

"Are White House hot dogs different from other hot dogs?" he was asked.

"It tasted pretty much the same to me," said McCain, whose tastes go more toward barbecue ribs than hot dogs.

Anything else?

"Fruit," he said, without elaborating.

One of these days, I might actually PROOF READ!

"Might NOT Need..."

Then again, what do you expect for nothing?

Maybe, just MAYBE, if Bushie lightened up on Processed Food like HOT DOGS, he would need to be getting Colonoscopies every 6 Months! ;~)

LOL! Nothing but the BEST, for his GOOD Friend, John! :-)

He's just a regular Joe. You know, the kind you'd like to have a hot dog with. Keep eating hot dogs, John, you won't make it through one term. What a pair of weanies!

Not only does McCain like BBQ, but so too do many members of the MSM. In fact, he recently hosted a friendly get-together, and a purported list of the attendees is in this comment:

One of those named is the author of this post.

While the WaPo is munching on McCain's goodies and offering their lightweight coverage, I urge citizen journalists to do the job they won't do and ask McCain a real question, videotape his response, and then upload it to Youtube and similar sites. Here's a very good question to ask:

The MSM is too corrupt to ask McCain a question like that, so we're going to have to do it ourselves.

That Rose Garden appearance made McCain look weak. And old.
