I heard a radio interview with Bourdain and Ted Nugent (who also appeared on Bourdain’s TV show). Bourdain mentioned his political beliefs. I’m pretty sure on the TV show with Nugent that he said his liberal friends back in New York would be p’d off with that association. As far as what he said about Reagan, I seem to recall him saying at that point in time (during Reagan’s Presidency...).

Just watched Bourdain in Cuba. He praised the people (OK), the food (maybe OK), and the health system (not OK). His shows are often interesting and his humor sardonic, but his leftist views seep through too often.

Bourdain is clearly a liberal, but I enjoy his shows.

First thing of which I thought. Obama is showing us what community organizing is all about - all of his enemies are going down lately, by death or attempted destruction: Breitbart, his offending impersonator, Paula Deen, Rush Limbaugh...war has been declared.

How come that Northeastern hairless cook, Lidia Bastovich (sp?), hasn’t made the national news with the tales of her Italian immigrant house slaves?

“Paula Deen accused of condoning sexual harassment, racist remarks”

Looks like the Obummers will have to get their fried chicken and fixins somewhere else.

Folks, this law suit is serious. It involves and names Paula, her corporate food empire, her two sons and her brother.

I read the complete lawsuit and it's explicit and explosive. It does not bode well for the Deen "logo" at all, trust me.

In fact, I look for her sponsors to begin pulling out....and she will be toast, albeit in her case, melba toast.

The above article does not begin to detail the awful (but not yet proven) allegations in the suit.

However, since she's a liberal, and because of the double standard existing in our country today, she may personally escape the ordeal visited upon Rush.
