Laura Ingraham was making fun of Mike Huckabee, who took a joking (I think) poke at Mitt Romney for eating fried chicken without the skin on it.
Mitt Romney’s failure to eat fried chicken with the skin on is nothing short of blasphemy here in the South, according to GOP rival Mike Huckabee. Romney, of Massachusetts, dug into a piece fried chicken at KFC while campaigning in Lutz, Florida on Saturday, but not before peeling off what most would consider the best part — the crispy skin. Admittedly, KFC’s chicken doesn’t exactly stack up against the delectable kind that comes out of deep fryers in kitchens around the South, and Romney said he was looking for the healthiest option available to him for lunch.
Ingraham: “Wasn’t eating fried chicken with skin on it part of the reason Huckabee had to lose 100 pounds?”
Turns out Huckabee doesn’t eat fried chicken anymore, anyway.
UPDATE: Line of the day, from E.D.: “Regarding Huckabee’s past comments about eating fried squirrel, do you think Huck eats THAT with the skin (and fur) still on?”
