Hey garcon, do you have any Grey Poupon?
Marine (thinking): Man if it weren't for those Secret Service agents, I'd kick his ass.

I thought they ordered chili?
The CIA referred in the story, is Culinary Institute of America, not Central Intelligence Agency.
Figures it was a photo op. Threzza would probably go through withdrawl if she doesn't have her shrimp for luncheon.
Shades of the Mondale campaign's ripoff of a Wendy's commercial, i.e. "Where's the beef?"
The meals came to about $200.
They spent $200.00 apiece for lunch?
I wonder what theguy at the diner did with the 125 lunches?
"The meals came to about $200."
Looking at the luncheon menu I am pretty amazed that the per person cost was only about $10. Doesn't sound right to me.
These rich, elitist phonies are going to keep getting caught again and again. What a miserable existence, having to live an "contrived, alternate life", just to fool the dumb sheeple.
Were these meals paid for?
It looked like Elizabeth Edwards was packing away the single combo at Wendy's with much enthusiasm, so she either ate two lunches, or passed on the shrimp vindaloo and scallops. Hmmmm. I'm betting on the former.
So, the truth comes out ...
Dubya would eat the exact meals as his staffers.
Better a REAL American Cowboy in the White House, than a stuck up frenchman.
Edwards is worth what, 70 million?
I'm a pauper who wouldn't eat fast food if it was free.

Nineteen 5-star lunches for $200? At around ten bucks a plate, it sounds more like 1-star to me. Apparently, Kerry's even a fraud at being a snob.
So the whole Wendys photo op was to come across as regular hamburger eating people, before they gorged themselves with finer dining in the secrecy of their perverted bus.
Yanow, this is just another example of the TWO AMERICA's that Edwards is always touting.
Diner food for the Staffers, and gourmet 5-Star CIA food for them.
Yep, two America's all right.
The real photo-opp was at Wendy's, the real meal was on the bus.
Unless the second meal was all for Elizabeth, just to tide her over until snack time.
I wondered about that CIA too, Dane. Thanks for the clarification, but I fear those not on FR will assume a connection to the other CIA and thus REAL important, you know.
There is no way 19 gourmet lunches only cost "about" $200. Using my parsometer, I see the key word as being ABOUT.
Howlin, get a load of THIS!
Apparently the restaurants they frequent are the five star kind. The Wendys and Burger King fast food joints are strictly for the great unwashed masses. I wouldn't spend such a huge tab on lunch. As aristocrats, they prefer to keep their contact with ordinary folks to the minimum possible. Upon reading stories like this, its amazing 40 percent of the country would still vote for a haughty eminence grise pair like Deadwards.
