I am not sure if you have seen this story from Time Out New York, but I figured I would pass it along. I am happy to note that some of the chef’s interviewed showed class in what they would serve either candidate, what I was shocked by were the answers given by Sue Torres and Jacques Pepin. Sue Torres dog food comment is just trite and typical of liberals, but what really disturbed me was the asinine response by Pepin:
“I would give him some vichyssoise with pureed turnips…to be sure he could eat it. I’m not sure he has many teeth left.”
I am not sure if the former executive chef of Howard Johnsons is aware of how Senator McCain lost most of his teeth, but either way it indicates to me that his nice guy television persona is certainly more of an act than a reality.
