The Tennessee congressman who dug into a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken last week during a House Judiciary Committee hearing in an effort to take a swipe at Attorney General William Barr, who was absent, responded to critics in an interview Sunday and said the move was simply an attempt at "levity."

Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., told MSNBC that the chicken bucket was purchased the night before and was cold. He described the meal as not “wonderful.”

So, just for fun, I went to KFC for lunch today.

The buckets were printed with the words: “Kentucky Fried Chicken”, as were the brown paper take-out bags, the plastic sleeves for the chocolate chip cookies...

"...printed with words 'Kentucky Fried Chicken' as were the..."

Interesting. The new corporate direction is "KFC" for backlit restaurant signs and everything.
Perhaps they are migrating back? Buckethead even wears a "KFC" lid while playing onstage.

"...So...THAT’S what a loser looks like..."

I do the same thing and LAUGH on each occasion.
Their ability to accomplish each stereotype behavior is remarkable.

There is something grimly humorous about it...

Nothing says “COMPLETE IRREDEEMABLE SUCKER OF A LOSER” more than a Bernie Sanders sticker on a car.

I had a time they were doing major construction where I work, and the construction workers had to park near my window. I looked out one day and saw this massive, shiny black pickup with all the bells and whistles, had to be an $70K truck, and it had a Bernie Sanders sticker on it...

A Bernie Sanders sticker. Wow. Just wow.

I really got sick of KFC but unfortunately had to go because the family wanted it about 10 years ago. I still remember that trip - there was one person in front of me with a small order that took 20 minutes to straighten out while horrible loud music blared at me from the speaker directly above. Another 30 minutes to get a bucket of chicken with the same loud music that they couldn’t figure out how to turn down. What a nightmare.

I go to the ones that have a buffet.

I missed this. Did Cohen really choke a chicken in front of the committee?
