When John Kerry, John Edwards and their wives descended on a Newburgh, New York, Wendys on Friday for a 'lite" lunch with the common people, it was all just a photo op.
Team Kerry Edwards had already ordered their real lunches - consisting of five star gourmet food from a tony local restaurant - with instructions to have the haute cuisine ready for pick-up after the top Democrats ditched Wendy's.
"A member of the Kerry advance team called Nikolas Restaurant at the Newburgh Yacht Club the night before and ordered 19 five-star lunches to go that would be picked up at noon Friday," MidHudsonNews.com reported on Sunday.
"Management at the restaurant, which is operated by CIA graduate chef Michael Dederick, was told the meals would be for the Kerry and Edwards families and actor Ben Affleck who was with them on the tour."
After tossing out their cheeseburgers and chili, Kerry and Edwards feasted on shrimp vindallo, grilled diver sea scallops, prosciutto, wrapped stuffed chicken, and steak salad.
The meals came to about $200, MidHudson News said.
Is there anyone else reporting on this cheap trick?
I don't understand why DemoRATS feel they need celebrites to make themselves look good. Are the voters that stupid to think that just because Affleck supports Kerry that they ought to as well?
Huh??? Orders?? From whom?
What was their Biblical support for that statement? Sarah? :o)
He didn't toss the meals. He only tossed the ribbons.
He tossed someone elses Wendy's meal. Just like he tossed someone elses ribbons.
I read everything.You weren't as harsh as some others.If I missed characterized you. I am sorry.
I feel like we are at a cross roads in our country.I know looks count so much in this society but what is in the heart and soul should count.Look at Hollywood. What do their looks hide?
I agree with the uncalled-for comments about Mrs. Edwards' obvious weight problem. I don't like her politics, but I don't think she's a couch potato watching soap operas all day. She does need some help both with her weight and with her wardrobe choices. A bit of polishing would not be amiss.
Luckily, thye've got the $ to hire a nanny while she goes to the gym ;) But I expect that the death of her son and being the home-maker while her husband is off doing politics, adds some heavy burdens. John Edwards though, cannot be supported in his ridiculous attacks on doctors. What a jerk.

Right. And we're better, more decent people than they are........aren't we?
Unbelieveable. (But not really.........just very sad......)
Is John Kerry actually poking this guy in the chest? Where's a good lawyer when you need one? /sarcasm This always happens to me...I'm trying to enjoy a relaxing, inexpensive meal with friends when some camera crew-toting, blowhard doofus accosts me and tries to act like he's just one of the gang. The poor marine had better be praying to God that this traitor is never his commander in chief! I read somewhere that the two marines weren't at all impressed with Kerry, and that they felt he was "imposing" on them. I bet that little exchange doesn't wind up in his next convention film! Unless, of course, it's artfully revised and re-enacted with an 8 mm camera.....
Feed the homeless people!
Shame on you. (snicker) Don't you know that Elizabether's stupendous heft is all the fault of the doctor who gave her hormones during her change-of-life pregnancies? Lawsuit shortly to follow.
After tossing out? AFTER TOSSING OUT?! Do you mean to tell me that in the face of the Two America's and with children hungry and freezing as we speak these aspirants to the highest offices in the land THREW OUT FOOD!? They didn't ENSURE that this sustenance went to sombody in the "other America"?!

If the most best argument - or any part of the argument - we have for voting against the Kerry-Edwards ticket is that Mrs. Edwards is too fat, heaven help us all.
In fact, talking about the appearance of a candidate's wife is so juvenile and shallow as to be pathetic and reminiscent of the DUmmies. Do the DUmmies stoop so low? Certainly FReepers are capable of more substantive discourse.
How did they pay...cash or card?
How much was the tip?
How could they have "room" for another (even if swanky) meal?
