FoxNews ^ | Sept 16, 2003

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.

[New Horizon]

Actually, they have meat in them...or at least beef flavoring.

That's what makes them "taste so good".

*barf*

[Ignatz]

This woman is a disgrace to black all people nationworldwide.

Slight corrections, TB. I'm sure you approve!

[OldFriend]

We all knew SJL was a moron.........

But what was with Cavuto falling in love with Clark, suggesting wall street just loves Clark. At least Kristol alluded to the fact that Greenspan kept interest rates low and announced he would not be raising them.

[Phantom Lord]

She is also the one who is chaffured to her office, a whopping 200 yards from her home.

[Texagirl4W]

That's her.

[Trueblackman]

I agree and I will buy that.

[Mustang]

Kevin, Ditto to your above.

Is she still sporting that ole' tire tread-wrap-around hairdo?

Best FReegards, Mustang sends from "Malpaso News"

I think potatoes are tubers, not vegetables.

C'mon, cut him some slack. Maybe (shirley?) he was thinking of the ol' "Twenty Questions" question, "Is it animal, mineral or vegetable?"

No matter, this thread is just a real laugher, any way you look at it. If it was mine, I'd click the Report Abuse link, and beg for a swift and painless mercy killing. ;O)

[ArrogantBustard]

This woman is a disgrace to black people nationwide.

There. Much better.

[Phantom Lord]

Anyone have that pic of SJL in the astronaut outfit?

[bedolido]

speaking as an Idahoan... spudlander... SHEILA, bake um, boil um, eat um raw (potatos that is). they're veggies just like the astronots ate when they planted the flag on Mars.

[Sunshine Sister]

How can people this stupid get elected?

[Saundra Duffy]

Isn't she the same one who gets a ride from staffers from her apt to her office - WHICH IS ONE BLOCK?!!

[shellylet]

Off the subject, but how are you guys doing in NC today?

[theDentist]

Well there's your problem. You're talking of potatoes, and she's talking 'bout potatos.

[shellylet]

I don't know, but I'm ashamed to say it happens in CA all the time!

[Shryke]

I am 100% behind his opinion of Ms. jackson, no doubt, and succumb to typos and errors every day. I hope he didn't take it the wrong way.

[Phantom Lord]

Doing fine. Forcasts continue to get worse and worse for my area (Raleigh). Survived Bertha, Fran, and Floyd. Will survive this one.

My liquor cabinet is full, and my fridge is stocked with beer. Will stock up on ice shortly to keep beer cold. Chain saw ready to go.

[freeper2003]

Best one I could find...

[MAWG]

Cause her constituents are all crack-heads, felons, pimps and whores.
