Bernard-Henri Lévy, author of American Vertigo, was the guest on The Daily Show tonight. In speaking about the political
landscapes of the U.S. versus that in France, he said France's political leanings were like caviar vs.
cassoulet.
I found that a little funny, as cassoulet is starting to be just very popular here, but I'd bet anything the concept doesn't work in the U.S. because both sides of the spectrum seem to have their redneck tendencies. And I wonder what food George W. Bush would identify with? Hmmm... he must be barbecued ribs, I think, so what does that make the Democrats? Clinton was a McDonald's hamburger, Kerry was... what, a clam bake maybe? Hillary, she seems like a cucumber sandwich kind of woman. Or is it lobster roll?
