Hillary Clinton’s Lust for Boca Burgers Campaign 2008

Hillary Clinton’s Lust for Boca Burgers Campaign 2008
“Would the real Hillary in a private moment go for an Oliveburger or a Boca Burger?” Slate wants to know. Um, who cares? We always assumed she devoured venison and slammed gin in her campaign-bunker. But seriously, folks, there is an entire article devoted to Hil’s eating habits (or speculation thereof): “And so, the question remains: How could the lover of the lusty Oliveburger ever settle for a Boca Burger?” (Next week: we check in with Hil’s gynecologist!)

Things were different if Bill or Hillary were eating alone. Hillary went for the exotic flavors of the Middle East–baba ghanouj, hummus, and tahini. And if President Clinton was on his own for dinner, he invariably canceled the healthful meal that had been ordered for him and asked Scheib to dig into his secret stash of prime meat and grill a 24-ounce porterhouse steak with béarnaise sauce and fried onion rings, evidence that marital cheating can take many forms.

In the end, how can anyone not admire a woman who, like so many of us, is torn between renunciation and appetite, with a weakness for the hot and spicy and the cool and sweet, and who surely represents the people’s palate? [Slate]
