'Chicken Barr': Congressman Mocks Barr's House Snub By Eating KFC at Judiciary Hearing
Fortune ^ | 05/02/19 | Chris Morris

Posted on 05/02/2019 9:46:16 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Attorney General William Barr’s refusal to appear before the House Judiciary Committee Thursday is giving critics plenty of ammunition, but few are taking advantage of the opportunity like Rep. Steve Cohen.

The Tennessee Democrat held a press conference this morning before the Committee met, calling the attorney general “Chicken Barr” while holding a ceramic hen. After he took his seat, though, things got especially surreal.

Cohen, once he placed his ceramic chicken in full view on his podium, pulled out a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and began to chow down on it. It was not yet 9 a.m.

As political stunts go, it was plenty noteworthy, but this one likely involved some planning as well. KFC restaurants aren’t generally open for breakfast, meaning this was likely day-old cold chicken Cohen chose for breakfast.

I remember a journalist talking about the Carter administration. He attended a conference at the Carter White House. Everybody was dressed in jeans and loafers. They ate buckets of Kentucky fried chicken and were generally low class. Including Carter.

People reclined and even put their feet on the table. When they were done there were chicken bones and buckets everywhere.

That journalist was also active during the Nixon administration. He said that the Nixon administration, say what you will, was very presidential. People wore suits and ties and they conducted themselves with decorum. And they ate their meals in a well mannered fashion. Like, people who actually had breeding.

Considering the current POTUS and the First Lady, and contrasting them with the very low class and classless obamas, I'm beginning to see a pattern.

“Could they make it any easier for the Trump campaign to put their videos together?”

You’re right! I forgot about the 2020 campaign. There’s an embarrassment of riches out there for Trump when it comes to the amount of videos and audios that will be available to use against them. How funny. Typical Rats; they can’t think beyond the next step. They’re clever and cute today with their little chicken jokes. For the campaign ... not so much.

“Nadler is mad and will send Barr a subpoena written in big red crayola”

He’s so stupid, he’ll write it with Etch-A-Sketch, and the message will disappear in transit.

As a KY native I can tell you that today’s KFC sucks.
When I was growing up in the 70’s they had great chicken, plus you could get livers & gizzards like a proper chicken joint.
But then in the 80’s KFC was acquired by Pepsi and they ruined the chicken and nixed the livers & gizzards.
None of the corporate entities who have controlled KFC since Pepsi have done anything to improve it.

For that, they not only get 6 figure salaries and incredible benefits, perks and such, but they get very wealthy thanks to *cough* donations.

Back when I was in Junior High, it would not have gone well for anyone making those connections.
