Hot dog! (????)

Bush endorsed McCain this week -- you all knew that. They had a private lunch at the White House, then they skipped hand-in-hand into the Rose Garden, and they gave a rambunctious, BFF press conference. Old news.

But what you may not know is what they had for lunch. Filet mignon? No. Pate de fois grois (with Freedom Fries)? Nope. Lobster thermidor. Uh-uh.

"Let me be frank."

Hot dogs! They ate hot dogs. (Don't believe me? Reuters story here.)

"He said he was having a hot dog, so I had a hot dog," McCain, referring to Bush, told reporters on his campaign plane during a flight to Florida.

They've got world class chefs at their disposal and they eat hot dogs. Was it some display of patriotism, eaten watching a spring training workout and followed up with apple pie? Are they just-too-too-busy to care what they eat? Or are they just-- gasp-- not foodies?!





Oh, wait. Is that the President's meal?

I get it.

It was a psycho-sexual man-test!







He got you there, Senator!

But he IS the Prez.







Stephen, what do you think?

Ron Paul won't endorse McCain

Boy, I bet the Republican party wishes he would go away, but Ron Paul is not a party animal. He has ruled out a third party bid for the White House, and has scaled back his presidential campaign to concentrate on reelection to his congressional seat, but he won't bow out formally until the convention and he won't back McCain because he (in his own words) "can not support anybody with the foreign policy he advocates — you know, perpetual war…I think it’s un-American, unconstitutional, immoral, and not Republican."

They kept laughing at him during the debates. Who's chuckling now? (CNN Story Here.)
