A lesson in the fine art of pandering from Hillary Clinton:
All of our problems are interconnected, but we treat them as though one is guacamole and one is chips when...they both go together. - Hillary Clinton, showing just how down with the batos she is, Las Vegas, January 10 2008But it turns out that this is in fact part of a larger strategy to reach a variety of different ethnic and cultural groups with highly-specific, targeted messages. Here are some examples of different food stereotypes that the Senator can use to suit the message to the audience:
African-American : "All of our problems are interconnected, but we treat them as though one is chitlins and one is grits."
African-American (alternative): "All of our problems are interconnected, but we treat them as though one is chicken and one is waffles."
Jewish: Manaschewitz, Chinese food (brisket may be substituted)
Irish: Guinness, Jameson + Bailey's in a shot glass
Gay: Mimosas, brie
Gluten-free vegan: Spelt bread, soy milk
Recovering cannibal: Hufu, chianti
Klingon: Chech'tluth, Torgud gagh
