Politicians with no taste...

From The Gothamist:

Mike Huckabee, featured in a profile in Sunday's New York Times magazine, chose to eat at T.G.I.Friday's when given a choice of lunch spots in Manhattan. The author vetoed his choice, and they ended up at his second choice, the Olive Garden. Politics aside, that's reason enough for us not to vote for the guy. Then again, we're pretty impressed that he lost over 100 pounds and runs marathons despite eating such crap.

2. To me this is ironic

as I could have sworn "Huckabees" was also the name of a "fun" eatery.

4. How utterly snobbish. ---- The Heartland finds this disgusting

Everyone is not rich and cannot afford the elegant restarants some
in our party frequent.

6. You've apparently not been to NYC

For every 5 Star restaurant in Manhattan, there's a dozen affordable neighborhood places (even in Midtown), where the Italian food and even the burgers are miles above what you'll get at one the chain restaurants foe the same or less money.

5. I've never eaten at either one,

so I don't have an opinion. The campaign trail's never been good on the stomach though, so what's the problem.
