This One's for Johnny, Part II

You know, I don't eat at Wendy's all that often. But a few observations of this Wendy's love-fest seem to be in order, and let's start with this article from Arizona Daily Sun.

First, last week I posted an item that compared Kerry to fellow "Renaissance Man" P-Diddy. Now he's hanging out with Ben Affleck. Word has it Chris Judd may be on tap for the next portion of the bus trip. Yes, the polls don't show much of a significant bounce for Kerry, but at least he's doing well in the crucial demographic of J-Lo's ex-men.

Next, I like the fact that Kerry's entire response to Bush's criticism of his Senate record is to (a) say Bush is being negative, and (b) criticize Bush's record. Oh, wait, Kerry did point out his support of fisheries programs. Kids, you may want to try the same approach the next time Mom and Dad tell you to clean your room. Tell them you think they should "embrace the politics of hope" and that their own room isn't that clean.

Third, I love this passage:

Teresa Heinz Kerry, apparently unfamiliar with the Wendy's menu, pointed at a picture of chili and asked the cashier what it was before ordering a bowl.

As for John Edwards' apparent love of Wendy's... there are suspicisions that this little love affair with Dave Thomas' gift to the world may have a lot to do with grabbing votes in Ohio, where the chain was founded and is considered a state institution. So many good lines, so little time.

Finally, read this piece from the Mid-Hudson News. Apparently Kerry was still hungry after Wendy's. I wonder if he had the grilled diver sea scallops or the shrimp vindallo.
