Cavuto was discussing with Shirley Lee Jackson (D-TX) why the US should now get in bed with the French. Jackson is supporting the French view. As the discussion turned, the following brief exchange took place regarding French Fries/Freedom Fries.

Cavuto: "Did you ever call them Freedom Fries?"

Shirley Jackson (D-TX): "I never had the chance. I'm on a vegetable diet myself."

Hey, Shirley. Fries are from potatoes. Potatoes are vegetables.

[Shryke]

I think potatoes are tubers, not vegetables.

This is also the same person that asked if the Mars rover would take a picture of the Apollo flag.

How can the Left continue to vote for such complete morons?

Shirley? You mean Sheila Jackson Lee, right?

(Shirley yuour jokking?)

Fries are from potatoes. Potatoes are vegetables.

Sheila Jackson-Lee

...and stop calling her Shirley. ;)

I think this woman has a lot of trouble with punch ballots and hanging chads.

[js1138]

I sure would like to know where they'r fried in animal fat.

[Peace will be here soon]

Or vegetable oil.

I can't believe I'm about to offer a mild defense for Queen Jackson.

Tom, potatoes are often fried in grease made from animal fat.

(Now I have to pull a sheet over my head and lie still for several hours. I never want to be put in the position of defending this bimbo ever again.)

[TomGuy]

Shirley? You mean Sheila Jackson Lee, right?

That's her.

[Trueblackman]

This woman is a disgrace to black people nationwide.

Isn't she the old bat that recently threw a fit when the airline wouldn't put her in first class on her flight back to TX from DC. She wouldn't shut-up so the FA's cleared out a row in coach and gave it too her!
Too bad the air marshal didn't handcuff her and boot her off! :)

[TXBubba]

Your post just gave me a good laugh! You can take the sheet off, we understand, really, we do.

..which are usually fried in animal fat

Uhh....they make a substance called "vegetable oil" and it is made from.....vegetables....Duh!

[mattdono]

I'm on a vegetable diet myself."

Well, Ms. Jackson-Lee, it isn't working too well. Maybe you should get your a$$ out and walk some, instead of taking a chauffeur-driven limousine 3 1/2 blocks to your office.

[TADSLOS]

Sheila-Jackson Lee: Proof positive why Texas requires re-districting.

[Phantom Lord]

Lard is still used to fry with in some places.

I prefer peanut oil for frying fries.
