Bush, McCain dine on hot dogs in White House lunch

1 hour, 2 minutes ago


WEST PALM BEACH, Florida (Reuters) - President George W. Bush may have given presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain the royal treatment at the White House on Wednesday, but the two men did not exactly have a meal fit for a king.

McCain, an Arizona senator, picked up the president's endorsement for his candidacy while dining on something simple: a hot dog.

"He said he was having a hot dog, so I had a hot dog," McCain, referring to Bush, told reporters on his campaign plane during a flight to Florida.

So does a hot dog taste any different when it's prepared in the White House?

"It tasted pretty much the same to me," McCain said.

2. New Democratic Catch Phrase for 2008. "Dont elect a redneck in 08"

[Frustratedlady]

7. Or, "Don't elect a weenie lover!"

That goes for hotdogs and Bush.

[Island Blue]

3. How very elementary echool of them.

:eyes:

[Bonhomme Richard]

4. Boy, they just regular guys.

Just like the rest of us. Just the kind of guys I'd like to have a beer with.
Is this all the beginning of the media prop?

[ThomWV]

8. West Texas tube steak

[BobRossi]

9. Was Jeff Gannon there? nt

[Mabus]

10. So, that's what happed to Jimmy/Jeff Guckert/Gannon

I wondered what he was up to these days.

[tanyev]

11. He wuz robbed. Sarkozy got to choose either a hamburger or a hot dog.

[opihimoimoi]

12. Whadda ya expect?? Bushie Level is HIGH SCHOOL...he never left High school..did he?

MBA my ass....

[bdamomma]

24. high school more like grade school

peanut butter samwiches he probably eats too. what a empty headed POS he is.

[opihimoimoi]

26. As a Non Reader, Bush is stuck in HighSchool or , as you suggested, elementary.

We often see this in Bars and Lounges...most of the discourse is generic and covers old jokes, stories, etc..everyone needs a soapbox..some more than others...many wale on about themselves ad anuseum.....

Its so obvious Bush has never left that Bar....his whole ife revolves around the rubbing bald heads and stale jokes barely/semi remembered

[Virginia Dare]

37. DUDE! He's got the best MBA Poppy's money could buy...

I'm sure Poppy's still smacking his head over that one...:rofl:

[Geoff R. Casavant]

13. Well, two things:

1. I wonder if either had ketchup on the hot dog. There's a right way and a wrong way to eat ketchup on a hot dog. The right way is to be under the age of twelve.

2. Don't knock tater tots. I won't say it twice.

[MotorCityMan]

14. I'll add a third thing

3. Why the F*CK is this news???

[tanyev]

30. I respectfully disagree.

I'm 44 and I like a little bit of hot dog with my ketchup. But I don't have them very often, and if I had a personal chef at my disposal, ready to prepare the finest cuisine, I sure wouldn't waste that on a hot dog.

[Geoff R. Casavant]

34. The extra sugar in the ketchup makes the hot dog worse.

Try chopped vine-ripened tomatoes instead -- you'll notice the improvement.

[tanyev]

39. But ketchup contains natural mellowing agents.

:9

[tridim]

15. Is Bush trying to knock McCain off?

Hot dogs can't be good for McPain's system.

[Sannum]

16. I will say it again, is * 4?

:eyeroll:

[hunter]

17. Too bad they didn't serve pretzels.

:evilgrin:

[Metta]

18. That's an apt metaphor for the each of them. Did they have it with traitor sauce?

That, too, would be fitting.

[ensho]

19. wonder which meat baron provided the 'hot dog'?

nt

[graywarrior]

20. Now I understand.

You are what you eat.

[lumpy]

21. Dumdum shows Diddly a thing or two for keeping him

waiting on the White House porch, eat wienie.

[pink-o]

29. Yeah, what up wid that???

Bushie does a little Bo Jangles, so mebbe he figures he can afford the nitrates and empty calories of cow lips and udders.

Does anyone know--other that complete lack of respect, which is probably the only area where McCain and I agree--why Senator Anger Management was late in the first place?

[Supersedeas]

22. * breaking out the quality yummies for his illegit SC Primary lover

[bdamomma]

23. you ever wonder if * is eating all that stuff it will clog his arteries

or something, all that junk food may not prove beneficial to him....think about it.

[KamaAina]

25. So, did McCrazy take a bite of Bush's wiener?

Inquiring minds want to know...

[opihimoimoi]

27. KAMA!!!!!! I iz suprized at you.....LOL....I love it......Carry on.....kolohe buggah you.....

[Sugar Smack]

28. GEORGE BUSH ATE A GODDAMNED HOT DOG FOR LUNCH.

My utmost respect and appreciation for Kadie.

But Yahoo news (Kadie's point, I imagine) sees fit to report this. Breaking. One hour ago. Details here. Maybe a pic or twelve somewhere else. This is disgusting on every level. Jesus.

"So does a hot dog taste any different when it's prepared in the White House?"

Who the fucking sweet hell gives a good goddamn rat's pustule-covered ass if a hot dog tastes any freaking different when prepared in the White House?!? What the fucking hell else is going on in the world, and does it deserve the bandwith of some degenerate crackhead's reporting of chickenshit non-stories like this one? Who pays this asshole to come up with questions like this?

[Twist_U_Up]

31. Assholes eating lips and assholes. How ironic.

you are what you eat ;-)

[VP505]

32. How appropriate,

two dick heads eating a hot dog!

[jmondine]

33. I guess the local meat market was all out of kittens

[Cass]

35. Hot dogs at a White House lunch.

Unreal. I would think that's a diss to McCain but who knows with this bunch.

My sympathies go out to the chef who has to deal with this juvenile crap on a daily basis.

[Virginia Dare]

36. Doesn't say what Miss Cindy ate..

I'm guessing Miss Cindy doesn't do hot dogs.

Don't you get it people? They're REGULAR folks just like you and me, shrubby and mcsame. They know we're hurting and forced to survive on beenies and weenies every night. THEY FEEL OUR PAIN.

[LeftCoast]

38. Kinda sad to see the 'homo' jokes here

These kind of 'jokes' don't make gays and lesbians feel welcome on DU.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

40. Bush is all class, isn't he?

Remember when Vice President Dick Cheney wore an olive-drab parka, hiking boots and knit ski cap to represent the United States at a solemn ceremony remembering the liberation of Auschwitz?

[and-justice-for-all]

41. Yeah, they had each others 'hot dog'..nt
