Bail out burgers with Biden



"...Can you vouch for your fries?"

Sounds like Ray's Hell Burger doesn't offer regular fries. I don't know how their business was before but I bet this sure gave them a boost.

Remember that SNL skit about Clinton stopping in Mickey D's and eating other people's fries?


I picked this video up at the Chicago Tribune site - it comes with ads on top.


=====update====
The video from the Chicago Tribune site stopped playing (??) so here's a version from youtube.

===yet another update===
It's happened again, my posted video clip was taken down.
This is a different hamburger joint but maybe this clip will stay up.

I bet they start offering regular fries now. If the president asks for pizza, they had damn well better whip themselves up a pizza somehow, you know?

That would be such an incredibly awkward encounter. It was hard to hear everything-- I wonder if they tried to upsell them?

@LiteralDan thanks - I don't think they tried upselling (as in would you like to supersize that?). If you watch again you'll notice they offered the food for free but that's not the administration's policy and they insisted on paying.

@Shane - thanks but I'm clueless on "IDC". I have some guess but it's not one I use.

If you don't pay attention to the limos and police cars, it looks like two guys ordering lunch.

@W. Torpey - well the media does have the effect of making them bigger than life. The trick will be their ability to keep it real.
thanks
