Or so says Rush Limbaugh. The conservative commentator told his radio audience this week that the Kerrys and Edwardses tossed their fast food in the trash before retiring to the bus for more gourmet fare. The meals on the bus were ordered from Nikola's restaurant.

Hm, the reporter makes it sound like Rush just made up the story out of thin air! How very odd of this reporter to do that. (not)

But now Kerry and Edwards are being portrayed as snooty eaters who snubbed the Wendy's fare in favor of gourmet meals.

Well, that's just odd, too! Why would that be, I wonder:

He's At It Again: Kerry's Food Flip-Flop In Milwaukee

excerpt:

When John Kerry was campaigning in Milwaukee, he spiced his speech with crowd-pleasing references to local culinary landmarks. He said that he "sure better find some baby backs over there at Speed Queen Bar-B-Q and a double-dip vanilla at Leon's. And if I don't get there, I'm in trouble."

But, he didn't get there. The manager at Speed Queen, a serious BBQ joint in a rough part of time, first pointed out that they serve spare-ribs, not babybacks. But that he never showed up. Crowds gathered at Leon's frozen custard stand in anticipation of his visit. (President Clinton did, but was a few cents short in paying the bill.) But Kerry never showed. Instead, he ate at the ritzy Pieces of Eight on the lakefront, dining on filet mignon with potatoes and asparagus.
