The Poll That Really Matters…

Arnold Schwarzenegger is leading in the ever-so-important Taco Bell poll for governor of California.

Beginning last Thursday, consumers could visit more than 1,000 California restaurants to "put their vote where their mouth is" or their favorite gubernatorial candidate. Californians "bought votes" simply by purchasing selected Taco Bell menu items. A crunchy beef taco counts as one vote for Schwarzenegger, a soft chicken taco counts as a vote for not recalling Davis and any Grilled Stuft Burrito shows support for any of the other candidates. Now, starting today, consumers who want show support for Bustamante can choose the Chalupa.

I can just see the new Arnold ads telling people to "drop the chalupa…" Then again we know that the real winners of this contest will the be makers of anti-diarrheal medications…

    Thank you for this racist anti-Hispanic stereotype. Is this the inclusion we’re to expect from the Republican party?

  2. If you think making fun of Taco Bell is somehow a racist slight against Hispanics, you’ve got a screw loose.

    Oh? Your diarheaa comment was a non-sequiter? I mean, what’s the connection between Taco Bell and diarheaa if not the association of mexican food with poor sanitation? And what’s the connection there if not a slight against mexicans, viewed as too backwards to properly sanitize their kitchen facilities?

    It was a poor taste comment in any event. I’m sorry if you’re unaware of the racist overtone, but it’s there.
