'I love ribs. Ribs and BBQ': Scott Walker tells how he proposed to his wife Tonette at a Wisconsin barbecue joint while devouring a spare rib at Iowa 'Roast and Ride'
Barbecue has a special place in Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's heart.
He reminisced about their courtship today while devouring a spare rib at a 'Roast and Ride' event in Boone, Iowa...
Walker had just finished helping employees of Lynch BBQ, the event catering company, prepare a rack of ribs when he professed his love for barbecue - and his spouse.
'We met at a karaoke night, even though we didn't talk to each other,' he recalled. 'I gave her a napkin with my name on it, because the guy I was with said we just kept hitting it off.'
The two 'never talked' that night, he said.

What will the elites think?!
BBQ, karaoke, cougar wife, courtship, marriage....

: )

So if they lived in an area with dry run instead of sauce they never would have gotten together?
Have a rib.
Take the whole rack.
Another positive story that had to come from a news outlet outside of the CONUS. I guess this will be what we can expect for the foreseeable future.
I didn’t know his wife was so much older than him. “Cougar”, lol.
A widow too.
so, if he gets the nomination, you will cop ouit again and Hillary will be elected
“..........BOONE, Iowa—To run for president, one must be skilled at many things, including cutting slabs of meat.
Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) donned white latex gloves to slice portions of pork ribs for the assembled crowd at a political carnival here held by Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst.........
Despite skies that threatened rain, the seven presidential hopefuls gathered here were all optimistic about their chances.
While Mr. Walker, who is expected to formally announce his candidacy in July, rode a rented Harley on Saturday, he reminisced about his own 2003 model. It has decals that resemble bullet holes, he said.
“People always ask if they’re real,” he said. “I say, ‘If they were real, I wouldn’t be here.’ ”.........
totally sinful!!!!!!!!!!
I make the best ribs. My entire family and several friends have voted. It does not involve hours over a grill in the hot sun because I don’t do that sort of thing.
Mehhicccans.............
...............or, NO MORE Mehhicccans.
THAT IS THE QUESTION (for ALL so-called ‘candidates’, be they r or d).
Real barbecue aficionados eat back ribs, gov.
Tonette. Who names their kid Tonette?
Yep.. That’s right. My single solitary vote has that kind of power... Jealous?
