Kerry Loses the Burger Vote

Forget plummeting poll numbers, John Kerry's got a much bigger PR problem. The junior senator's been dropped from the menu at Bartley's Burger Cottage in Harvard Square. Bill Bartley, son of the famed burger joint's founder, Joe Bartley, says he wants a menu with more sizzle, and that means Barack Obama is in and Kerry is out. "How long has he been my senator, and what's he ever done except embarrass me?" Bartley said yesterday.

I know that feeling

Sorry John, but the Wimpy Burger name is already taken.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

Listen guys, remember that get educated or go to Iraq comment?? I was kidding, now kick this guys a*s and GET ME BACK ON THE MENU..

[Natchez Hawk]

They pulled the Kerry burger?!

Too bad--my favourite cheese on a burger is Swiss.

heh heh heh... I hope the ketchup vote isn't far behind

[GeorgiaDawg32]

yet another flip-flop..he was on the menu before he wasn't..

That John Kerry could be elected anywhere is an ongoing mystery to me. The people of Massachusettes disgrace themselves every time they vote for that traitor. Something must be seriously wrong with the water in that state.

If he doesn't shape up, pretty soon he will be scraping the bottom of the broiler pan for votes.

[wouldntbprudent]

And the french fries vote.

[mewzilla]

And he'd already lost the Philly Cheese Steak vote....

[wouldntbprudent]

Yes, gives a whole new meaning to "flipping" burgers.

Your letting "Fat Ted" off pretty easily aren't you? ; )

Gawd, that looks like it's going right up his nose. And that's a considerable nose.

[Boris99]

The restaurant owner names all of his burgers after socialist tools, so even though he wizened up about Kerry, he still doesn't seem very bright.

[EGPWS]

They pulled the Kerry burger?!

Are they a team and the DNC pulled them from the ticket?

John and Sandy, what a Presidential team they would make.

[Argus]

The Obamaburger - all bun and no meat.

[SomeoneNeedsToSayIt]

I was a hamburger before I wasn't a hamburger.

The problem is that what embarrasses this guy is that Kerry hasn't fought hard enough for the "working man" and that President Bush has not been impeached yet.

"The restaurant owner names all of his burgers after socialist tools, so even though he wizened up about Kerry, he still doesn't seem very bright."

Perhaps I shouldn't judge him so quickly. Maybe he is just a shrewed business man that knows his clientele. I suppose the Reagan Burger, or the Rush Melt probably wouldn't go over very big in MA. Wonder if he serves "W" Ketchup?
