Slickster Bill sticks around for the last bite

So hearty is Bill Clinton's appetite that he recently refused to leave a Maryland restaurant even after being informed of an impending police bust there.

Clinton and his Secret Service bodyguards entered an Outback Steakhouse where undercover police officers had arranged a meeting with a murder suspect, The Washington Times reported.

Leave it to you to look on the bright side of things!

Bubba's "slumming" at an Outback? I guess the word must have gotten around to all of the society babes about Bubba little bent weenie. Plus, I guess they all got tired of him leaving them to pay the check.

LOL! Sharp eyes, Ivan.

I was amazed at the amount of food arrayed before him, which he seems intent on wolfing down. But I didn't even notice the diet soda. (He's got to watch his weight somehow, I suppose--not that he's managing it very well.)

This is from your part of the world, I'm sure you can tell. From a pub in the Portobello Road, Notting Hill, apparently.

Dang! The Bloomin' Onion alone has something like over 3,000 calories.

When you consider that a whole raw onion has about 30 calories you can imagine where the calories are coming from.

Hey! Take that back! I'm not the resident optimist in FR.

Go elsewhere for your vision-correction services. :)

you can imagine where the calories are ending up.

[what's up]

Like his constituents, the Black Panthers, Billy doesn't like the police.

Someone killed a police officer? Why would Billy want to help catch that guy?

[Republic]

What a seriously stupid and tremendously selfish man. Is there no low to which he does not aspire?

[Paul Atreides]

Don't you know he left without paying the tab?

[texasbluebell]

Yes, I was pretty sure this was the incident when he stiffed them (pardon the expression in relation to him).

[Slyfox]

Please! Don't insult the King!

Hey! Don't get mad at me! Registered created it! It's HIS fault!

i am just the lowly sniping-poster

It isn't that obvious, actually - I've seen similar pubs in New York and Boston.

But certainly, he looks like he is enjoying his food. I always thought he had an impulse control problem - Freud would have said that he is all "id" - the part of the psyche that shouts "Food! Sex! Sleep!". He has those impulses and never subordinates them to higher goals.

Well, I guess that is okay. But that poster of Elvis was not from his heaviest days, which would be more appropriate!

[texasbluebell]

He seems to be a very primitive type, I think so at any rate. All impulse.

[Welsh Rabbit]

I notice in that photo, he's drinking a Diet Coke. Why is that that only overweight people drink diet sodas?

[Slyfox]

The bio's of Clinton all mention his eating habits. He's not a normal eater. They say he eats stuff fast and whole like hamburgers and apples. Hand him a fried pie and he's got that sucker down his gullet faster than Monica can git on her knees.

Here, I think I found the diet Bill Clinton follows:

THE STRESS DIET

Breakfast:

1/2 grapefruit
1 slice whole-wheat bread
8 oz. skim milk

Lunch:

4 oz. broiled chicken breast (skinless)
1 cup steamed zucchini
1 Oreo cookie
1 cup herb tea

Mid-afternoon snack:

rest of the package of Oreo cookies
one quart rocky road ice cream
one jar hot fudge

Dinner:

two loaves garlic bread
large pepperoni and mushroom pizza
two pitchers of beer
three candy bars
entire frozen cheesecake eaten directly from the freezer

Diet Tips:

1. If no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.
2. If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, they will cancel each other out.
3. Calories don't count if you eat with someone and you both eat the same amount.
4. Food taken for medicinal purposes does not count. This includes hot chocolate, brandy, toast, and Sara Lee chocolate cake.
5. If you fatten up everyone around you, you'll look thinner.
6. Snacks consumed in a movie do not count as they are part of the entertainment. For example: Milk Duds, popcorn with extra butter, large sodas, and M & M's.
7. Pieces of cookies contain no calories. The process of breaking them up causes a calorie leakage.
8. Late-night snacks have no calories. The refrigerator light is not strong enough for the calories to see their way into the calorie counter.
