Feel free to add your own captions to these pictures. 😛 I love corndogs too. They are difficult to eat and look dignified. 😉 [http://www.ukprogressive.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/bachmann-corn-dog-300x225.jpg](http://www.ukprogressive.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/bachmann-corn-dog-300x225.jpg) [http://blogs.reuters.com/oddly-enough/files/2011/08/corndog-bachman-crop-2601.jpg](http://blogs.reuters.com/oddly-enough/files/2011/08/corndog-bachman-crop-2601.jpg) **My caption** : I should have dipped this one in mayo before eating. ---

It just shows how media-unaware she is. How someone in 2011 could have political ambitions and not say, “No thanks. I’ll just have a petal off that blooming onion for the photo op,” is beyond me. And campaign workers are for bringing the corndog and the rest of the blooming onion back to the campaign bus, where they can be consumed in private. And a funnel cake. And some roasted corn on the cob. And unpaid volunteers need to know that, when she fills the bus with her, um, emanations they are to keep their yaps shut. ---

Just further proof that she’s a knucklehead. Just pull a piece off with your fingers, fer chrissakes, and daintily pop a piece in your mouth so you don’t look like a moron. Also - TV bites. They’re significantly smaller than what you might normally cram into your yaw, so you don’t talk with your mouth full or have to cover your mouth with your hand because there’s too much food in there to keep your mouth shut while chewing. Nibble now, shovel in private. ---

[quote=“aceplace57, post:1, topic:593238”] Feel free to add your own captions to these pictures. 😛 I love corndogs too. They are difficult to eat and look dignified. 😉 TMZ had a shot of Bristol Palin eating a hotdog with a knife and fork yesterday. I couldn’t help thinking she was advised to avoid looking like a Bachmuncher. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/michele-bachmann-and-the-corndog/593238.md?page=2)
