LET THEM EAT BOEUF!
Media Log's slogan: You can't make this stuff up!® I just
found this nugget near the end of John Harris's Washington
Post story
of last Saturday on Republican efforts to cast Senator John Kerry as
a wealthy elitist:
There has been an echo of
this kind of down-home invective in the controversy over Kerry's
statement that foreign leaders secretly back his candidacy.
Pressed last Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" on where and when
the leaders told him this, Kerry declined to say, but he noted:
"You can go to New York City and you can be in a restaurant and
you can meet a foreign leader."
This prompted House Majority
Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) on Monday to sneer: "I don't know where
John Kerry eats, or what restaurants he attends in New York City.
But I tell you, at the Taste of Texas restaurant - it's this great
steakhouse in Houston, Texas - the only foreign leader you meet
there is called filet mignon."
Boneless steak for a bonehead. Don't
you wish Tom DeLay was your congressman?
