Original headline: Alison Lundergan Grimes… or Grinch? Kentucky Senate candidate blames donut burger for soaring health care costs

Grimes, a Democrat vying to replace Mitch McConnell, blamed an indulgent American diet in her explanation for why Kentuckians need Obamacare.

Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes was a buzz kill this week at the Kentucky State Fair.

The 34-year-old Democrat blamed the best of American cuisine for rising health care costs, speaking to the press at the "Grannies for Grimes" event in Louisville.

"You just have to look over to the right where you see the donut burger, the chili cheese-steak and the covered french fries that are here," she said, explaining why Kentuckians need Obamacare to help cover medical costs.

Right. People should stick to healthy food like KFC and waffles.

One meal a day is good for you, too, makes you stronger.

Thanks Republican Wildcat.

Donut burgers make sense - meal and dessert all in one. Might save on calories by keeping someone from choosing a banana split with bacon...
