NOW Pickles is specifying a "BBQ, Tex-Mex" chef since W is "Native Texan"

WASHINGTON - Fancy state dinners aren't all the new White House chef will need to do — the Bushes are looking for someone who knows barbecue and other good old American fare. Laura Bush told Newsweek she doesn't expect that any of the celebrity chefs with books or television shows will be interested in becoming head chef at the presidential home. But she's looking to fill the job with someone who "can really showcase American foods."

The previous White House chef, Walter Scheib III, has left to pursue new opportunities after nearly 11 years of cooking for two presidents, and the first lady is looking for a replacement who can cater to the first family's native Texan palates. (NATIVE TEXAN??? WTF???)

"We like spicy food of all kinds," she said in the magazine's Feb. 28 issue. "We like, obviously, Tex-Mex and barbecue. ... George is a very good eater." ...

"We don't actually get invited to that many dinner parties," she said. (SMALL WONDER, MONKEYS MAKE LOUSY GUESTS) "I think people think we're going to invite them, which we do."

Side note: Will Pickles demonstrate her "folksy" charm by clanging a dinner bell and shouting to the Ambassador of Hungary "COOOOOMMEEE ANDDDD GET IT!!!!!!"

Such a delicacy....

Seriously, that will certainly cut down on people just dropping by the WH at supper-time, won't it? :evilgrin:

Pickles: Won't ya all stay ta supper? Our new chef has rustled us up some cow brains and guacamole. There's plenty...

She is a brain-dead, drug-addled buffoon.

And, why is it that you and Chimpy stay in most nights? I'll bet it's so that you can pursue you mutual hobby of closet drinking.

for the life of me, I can't imagine why. They're such a wonderful couple, who wouldn't want them over for dinner and stimulating conversation?

and leave at 8 so they can climb into bed at 9.

after her meds kick in.

:D

making me :puke::puke::puke::puke::puke:

Edit: Yeah, and the complete neglect of his native Massachusetts palate.

Factually inaccurate = Pisspoor journalism.

sauce.

When can I collect my giant federal government paycheck?

Mix that with some Kraft macaroni and cheese and some ground beef and you have Haute Cusine!

I call total bullshit on this one. They wouldn't know good bbq if it jumped off the spit and slapped them.

Sounds like bbq to me!


:shrug:

If you have a professional chef, you ought to get whatever it is you want to eat.

But W is a Connecticut boy, not a "Texan". Every once in a while his patrician accent comes out... "I'd RAWther do this..."

And this CONSTANT "We are Everyman" PR campaign!

But I could see asking for Tex-Mex BBQ were I in a similar situation.

Lots of other stuff too, though;

Saurbraten, Spetzel, and red cabbage,

Various Thai soups,

Sushi,

Eggplant Parmesan,

Oh yes, and Tab to drink!

A german tavern called "Gasthaus Zur Linder"

Doesn't mean they don't actually like Tex-Mex, though.

They invite people to the "ranch" for a private BBQ,
and then have the meal catered.

Let's all send bags of pork rinds to the White House to
tide them over until a suitable cook can be found.

country folk those Bushes. Give me a break.

except they probably use Kidney beans instead of Pinto beans or Anazazi's. Pretenders about everything.

Bush is Mongol!!!

tell georgie to make his own damn food.

on a moment's notice.

These people are so transparent I'm surprised they don't blow away.

If only...

That is so disgusting. They issued this as what, a press release? If he's such an "aw-shucks" cowboy, how come he needed a 40 million dollar inauguration?

And since her time with the press is limited (and scripted),
she doesn't have to answer idiotic questions such as what
her feelings are about the poor in America who go hungry.

Being a native Southern Californian, I wonder if they could handle most of the stuff I could get for $3 at a roadside burrito stand. Probably would be a bit much for their "native Texan palates".

not the POTUS!! Disgusting people.

I didn't know native Texans could be born in Connecticut? That's a new one to me.

Perhaps Princess Laura will showcase at a state dinner the typical meal for the 15 million American children living in poverty. After all, this is by percentages much more repesentative of "American" cuisine than any Texas beef steak dinner the porcine American upper class devours.

Those who defer to Laura Bush because she is the wife of George Bush mistake the reality of the situation. Princess Laura is an enabler of the Boy King.

She is not a civilian.

Must be something in those Texan jeans . . .ermm, genes.

Actually, it's been difficult to train the Chimpster to use cutlery rather than his hands. BBQ and Fried Chicken are acceptable foods to cover up this sad fact.

This is a publicity stunt designed to reinforce the fallacy that Bunnypants is a real cowboy.

They aren't just transparent, they're almost pathetic; like Laura "rollin' with the homies" at the library last week.

I went to school with his granddaughter, and Walter catered my wedding.

That was a real chef, capable of dazzling world leaders and satisfying the BBQ cravings of REAL TEXANS.

Oh wait, they wanted a native texan and Bobby is from NY (blue state). Won't happen.

How about Stephen Pyles? Dean Fering? Robert Del Grane? Anne Greer? All are credited as founders of "Southwestern cuisine".

Heck, if they just want great steaks and bbq maybe they can just have the entire WH catered by Austins Restaurant

Take a hint, you dumb cow.

:eyes: This is a librarian? An educated woman who gives speeches to American women and who reads often to children? This is the woman who is going to save young boys from joining the street gangs and this is the best she can do re speaking the English language? George eats very good--uh huh. I am surprised she didn't follow it with a giggle and say he was also very fun. I think we should send her to that place that advertises on AAR--the one that says that people will judge you by the vocabulary you use.

He is also a very good drinker. Take a look at his nose in this photo. not photoshopped

Native Texan my ass!!!!

What part of "Obey your Fuhrer" don't you understand?

</sarcasm off>

And now excuse me while I have to vomit :puke:

The world is rapidly goin to hell in a hnadbasket, and I could give a rat's ass about whether Laura fires a WH chef or not. It's a waste of energy better spent elsewhere to even discuss it.

Ah recommend you eat Texas barbecued pork at 'most every meal!

And serve up a double helpin' for Texas Dick! He's a hungry feller!

Rat Bastard!
