Now hold on here. I am a freakin' connosseur of cheese steaks... if you people knew just how many cheese steaks I eat in a given month you'd probably think I was disturbed. And I do prefer them with provolone cheese. An original philly cheese steak is made with what basically amounts to Cheeze Whiz, and I -much- prefer provolone.

And btw, the rest of my eating habits are about as un-elite as you can get, hot dogs and tuna fish sandwiches is about what rounds out my diet (lol) so it's not like my cheese steak fetish is something I enjoy as the single "common man" element in an otherwise elitist diet.

Now, please don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that Kerry -did- have any clue what he was eating - he didn't, and the pictures are the proof. But the fact that he asked for a Philly Cheese Steak with provolone is not proof of anything, dangit =P

Provolone is acceptable, and is preferred by some.

The article is incorrect though... Kerry asked for Swiss on his Philly Cheese Steak. That is unforgivable.

I agree with you on the provolone thing, but Rush is wrong that Kerry asked for that on his cheesesteak. He asked for swiss cheese, not provolone, according the Washington Post account of the event. See here:

I understand from whence you come....provolone IS better -- MUCH better! Being of Italian descent, I occasionally enjoy a nice, thick slice of Provolone with an equally thick slice of Italian bread. Talk about Heaven on earth!!!

Rush actually got this wrong - Kerry asked for Swiss on his cheese steak.
