Money Doesn't Buy Manners

[hjmick]

Don't you think that if you're running for president, the local officials are going to bring the best of what their town has to offer?

Besides, I was taught that good manners dictate that you should at least try ONE, smile and nod, and then say thank you. If you don't like them, don't eat another.

You SHOULDN'T insult the people bringing you things.

Maybe is watching his sugar intake & does not want to publicize the matter? This is as important as Obama & dog meat...................................

When I was in Tokyo our Japanese hosts wanted us to try Shirako. Look it up. And when I lived in Peru they served guinea pig. You stupid, ignorant righties have lived your whole life in the U.S and know nothing except hamburgers and Fox News.

And you're an arrogant fuck, so what?

Mitt Romney has no friggin' manners. And he wonders why people think he is out of touch.

Mitt Romney Isn

This is my favorite part of the story:

That any politician — much less one already battling a reputation for being out of touch — would ever vocalize such thoughts, in front of voters, on camera, is absolutely baffling. Who cares if it might be a cookie from 7-Eleven? Just eat the fucking cookie. Or, at the very least, don't go out of your way to insult it. But the evidence is mounting that Romney just can't help it. He has no filter, no ear for what he sounds like in the company of Normals. Which is a pretty unfortunate condition, for a presidential candidate.

HAHA!!! Really!!!

This is ALMOST as important as whether one eats their dog off the bone or uses a knife and fork.

I can't remember a time where people were trying to pick on a candidate for everything like they do now except in 2000 when some in the media was trying to pull an old DUI for Bush that happened in the 1970s

You know........people who have never traveled outside of this country would look at dog meat as something strange and cruel.

However.............if you come from another country? It's practically a delicacy. Peach would do well to watch Bizzarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern.

Food around the world has a lot of different varieties, and if you're willing to be a bit daring, you just might find something that you like, but would have never tried if you were in the US.

I won't touch raw oysters; my bizarre tastes are limited to Chinese, I don't ASK what is in the dishes.

Okay, so you've got vanilla tastes when it comes to food, and you're pretty squeamish about knowing where it comes from or how it's prepared.

Me personally? I'd be willing to bet that dog meat is a whole lot better tasting, as well as better for you than that crap they put into a lot of the meat you buy in the store that is enhanced with pink slime. You know, the scraps and leftovers from butchering the rest of the cow that is treated with amonia and cooked down to a pink slurry?

Your hamburger meat can contain up to 20 percent of that.

I wonder if Romney would give a head of state CD's upon their arrival?

"Cookiegate"... yeah.. run on that.

You fuckers are getting more desparate by the day.

Shirako, sashimi, and caviar I'll skip, along with sushi.

Do you eat hamburgers? If so, do you buy it at the grocery, at the fast food place, or do you go to the butcher and get them to grind it fresh for you?

If you say anything other than get it ground fresh, it can contain up to 15 percent of a product called "pink slime".

Pink slime, also known as lean finely textured beef (LFTB),[2] boneless lean beef trimmings (BLBT),[3] is a beef-based food additive that may be added to ground beef and beef-based processed meats as an inexpensive filler.[4][5] It consists of finely ground beef scraps, sinew, fat, and connective tissue which have been mechanically removed in a heated centrifuge at 100°F (38°C)[6] from the fat into liquid fat and a protein paste.[7][8] The recovered material is processed, heated, and treated with ammonia gas[1] or citric acid to kill E. coli, salmonella, and other bacteria. It is finely ground, compressed into blocks and flash frozen for use as an additive to beef products.[9][10] The term pink slime was coined in 2002 by Gerald Zirnstein, who at that time was a microbiologist for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service,[7] but some state officials have objected to the nickname, saying that "lean, finely textured beef is the proper name."[11]

In the United States, the additive itself cannot legally be sold directly to consumers, but can constitute up to 15% of ground beef without additional labeling,[9] and can also be added to other meat products such as beef-based processed meats.[9] Prior to the invention of the disinfection process, beef scraps could only be sold as pet food or as an ingredient for cooking oil.[4]

And the fucked up thing about it? They don't have to tell you it's in there.

If its cooked enough, no one will notice. I know a few people who sneer at catfish, which I LOVE.

So the fuck what? I lived in France for years and never once ate horse meat. You know why I didn't? Because I'm an American and that is not normal fare for me. It's beyond not normal, it is repulsive to most Americans.

And, I STILL wouldn't eat it.

Candidate Mittens proves how clueless he is yet again.............

When Mitt Romney joined some Bethel Park,Pennsylvania, residents around a picnic table on April 17, the conversation was supposed to be focus on rising gasoline prices, falling home value, and other economic anxieties that make up the central theme of his presidential campaign.

But after sitting down at a table covered with cookies, chip, and lemonade, Romney focused on the snacks.

“I’m not sure about these cookies,” he said, referring to a brightly colored plate of five dozen lady locks, thumbprints and other delicacies made by a beloved local bakery.

“They don’t look like you made them,” the candidate said. “No, no. They came from the local 7-11, bakery, or whatever.”

Locals took the remark as tasteless, quickly dubbing the slight as “Co0kie-gate.”

“When I heard it, I thought, ‘Oh, my goodness. This guy has no idea how beloved this institution is that provided these cookies,’” bakery owner and president John Walsh told local ABC station WTAE. “We wanted him to be welcomed with the best in the burgh, and he had no idea.”

Romney's 'Cookie-Gate' Frosts Baker - Bloomberg

That would be like coming to Amarillo and being brought cookies from Delmar Bakery (voted Best in Amarillo several years), and asking the official if they came from 7-11.

Just shows how clueless this man is.

Remember when H.W. Bush emerged from 11 years in Washington's choicest executive mansions to confront the modern supermarket. Later he assured us that he had been in a supermarket before.

Romney like Bush lives in a different world from the rest of us. His campaign is trying to portray him as a man of the people facing all the same problems that you or I do. That's nonsense.

It appears Mitt never learned the fundamentals of good manners.

Obama was a child at the time. I once ate goat at that age, but never had before or since.

How does one insult a cookie?

Apparently, by comparing a bakery one to a 7-11 one.

And, as a child, I still would not have eaten it. It's repulsive in our culture. Never. He's an American kid, right?

And to clarify, I'm not blaming him because he was a kid; I just find that very odd.

I've been to many places in Europe, The Middle East...don't assume assmunch, you look stupid.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Did any of you rw's read what the small business owner/baker said? He said he wanted the very best for this man and that he worked to make sure they were his best.

I think that's very poignant. That man is a rw too and he wanted to put his best foot forward and be able to later say that mittens ate his cookies. He's just a lowly, get up at 5 in the morning baker to make the donuts and he felt honored to present his product to the man who could (**shudder**) be the next president of the United States and he got slapped in the face for his efforts.

NO BIG DEAL you say?

For him, it was.

Why can't rw's ever feel for others?

Put yourself in his place.
