UT-SEN: Romney takes a stand

“My favorite meat is hot dog, by the way. That is my favorite meat. My second favorite meat is hamburger. And, everyone says, oh, don’t you prefer steak? It’s like, I know steaks are great, but I like hot dog best, and I like hamburger next best.”

— Utah U.S. Senate candidate Mitt Romney (R), quoted by the Washington Examiner.

Now doubt he eats his hot dog with a silver knife and Fork, and a nice '56 Chateau de Phonie

He says his favorite meat is “hot dog” ... no plural no indefinite article. No one who ever ate a hot dog without a fork talks like that. It’s kind of like how Mittens loves “sport.”

But in late November, when he was considering former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for secretary of state, Trump dined with him and his incoming chief of staff Reince Priebus at Jean-Georges, the three-Michelin star restaurant located inside Trump International Hotel, near Central Park. For appetizers, the trio ordered a garlic soup with thyme, sautéed frog legs, caper-raisin emulsion and scallops with caramelized cauliflower, according to a briefing given to reporters.

Who refers to hot dogs as a "meat"?

Other than clueless plutocrats desperately trying to apply the common touch, of course.

Oh, and let me add: clueless plutocrat financial predator crooks.

Obviously, hotdogs are not the prime cuts of meat, hotdogs come from the trimmings and tougher cuts that don't have any other use.

There is nothing like a good kosher hotdog, in a fresh bun, topped with fresh tomato and MUSTARD.

Anyone that put catsup on a hotdog is a ruthless loser.

He is just trying to buy the seat. Raised in Michigan, governor of Massachusetts, living in La Jolla, And home in Utah. How can he represent the people of Utah He doesn’t even live an authentic life there, just goes to show you how stupid the people of Utah who will vote for him in November because he’s a Mormon. He really is in touch with the average Utah citizen, Not!
