My brother just got back from a trip through Texas (surprise, surprise), where he stopped into a pancake house for breakfast and encountered the following “breakfast (wake up America!) special:”
“The Kerry Breakfast (Wake Up America!) Special
A Full stack (3 purple hearts) of waffles,
Smothered with Heinz ketsup.
(no Rice on the side.)”
How f^)king low can you go?
I guess you just gotta say, “what do you expect…?”
%#@!&^)*^%@%^&(!!!
:wally
The GOP owns a pancake house?
This place might be run by liberals. After all, Kerry will only get elected if enough people Wake Up!
Also, a hard-core right-wing place would be using “W” ketsup.
Also, no rice might mean no Condi Rice, unless, if they are RW, they mean the brilliant Susan Rice, who deserves a nice position in the Kerry Administration.
Equi: This place might be run by liberals.
No. No restaurant IMO would be seriously encouraging its patrons to order a special consisting of pancakes with ketchup. Eeeeee-yuck.
That said, I think the anti-Kerry taunt in the menu is fairly lame: what does a “stack of pancakes” have to do with “purple hearts”?
In a spirit of bipartisan even-handedness, I think the OP is also fairly lame. As Lib pointed out, what does the political badinage of some Texas greasy-spoon owner have to do with the Republican Party in general?
Ooh ooh, where in Texas?
Think if I went there, crapped on a plate, and gave it to em telling it was my “George Bush special” they’d get upset?
IGOP.
I think it stems solely from the fact that there are 3 of each. Like you said, pretty lame. They can’t even get a taunt together that makes sense.
Good one!
Beauty.
The OP says a stack of waffles, not pancakes.
And actually, if they’re blueberry waffles, you could say (if you stretched the metaphor a bit) that they’re purple hearted.
It would be called the 'Nam Slam Breakfast if it were a Denny’s.
Incredibly juvenile, but that’s what happens when The Smirk is in charge of your party.
So, a single restaruant does this, and you blame the entire GOP?
Good one.
Precisely. The clear implication is that Kerry is a “waffler.” (The other George Bush said the same thing about Clinton during the 1992 election campaign.)
BTW, what is “W” ketchup?

is:
It’s about two or three times as expensive as Heinz, so the popular theory is that they’re Democrats trying to make money off of blatant partisanship. The website claims it tastes better, which I can neither support or deny.
Damn… That has to be the most pathetic coding error I’ve ever made…
W Ketchup
The line? What line?? After the recently admitted crap about the GOP mailing accusing “liberals” of plotting to ban the Bible in Arkansas, there is no “line” to speak of. The Gaseous Old Plutocrats have already pulled out all the stops. Their new guideline: No Shot Too Cheap, Nor Blow Too Low.
Whatever, I still don’t see why the party as a whole should be held responsible for an individual Texas hash-slinger’s attempt at political humor, which IMO was not particularly offensive or insulting and might even have been funny if it weren’t so feeble.
Actually, maybe “not particularly offensive or insulting, although feeble” would be a step up for GOP propaganda these days. 
Snake, perhaps you could tell your brother to suggest that the hash-slinger in question try for a job with the Bush campaign.

Perhaps the kind of thing complained of in the OP wouldn’t happen, if we had a separately elected fourth branch of government – a “Tribunate” – which would police the other three, and also handle “metagovernmental” functions such as running the elections, conducting the Census, and doing post-Census redistricting.
