From the comments today:
These guys are, really, just punk-ass bitches with an inferior complex and a month’s supply of Cheetos and orange-stained keyboards.
This has got to stop. I don’t know what Cheetos did to “teh left,” but Cheetos are being unfairly villainized on a daily basis. The worst offenders, by far, are the vile scum at Sadly, No, who can not go a week without smearing this rather American snack. Here they are two weeks ago:
Hey guys, it’s me. If you hang out in the comments at all, you’ve probably seen me chatting away down there. Well today, I swung by this place, and the back door was standing wide open, and….well, it’s obvious that our most beloved troll, Gary Ruppert, really was here. For one thing, it looks like a Cheetos factory exploded in the place, and for another, the smell….well, the less said about that, the better.
And the folks at the Poorman are no better. Here they are smearing Cheetos with the taint of NRO. You don’t have to go too far to find the hate for Cheetos.
Can’t we all just get along?

Seems like the 2006 Cheetos for Chickenhawks campaign was a success!

Cheezus Christ!
Ugh
Cheetos suck.
That is all.

I believe this evolved from the following joke:
A guy goes to the doctor’s and tells the Doc, “Doc I have a problem, my dick is orange.” The doctor takes a look and sure enough the guys dick is orange. The dr. asks “what is your daily routine?” The guy replies “Well, I come home, grab a bag of cheetos and read a playboy.”

I like Cheetos. Does that make me a conservative?

A great snack food or the Greatest?

It’s a class issue. We effete liberals snack on imported French cheese and wine while we blog, and sneer at the working class chumps with their pork rinds, ketchup flavoured chips and cheetos.
Not that I have anything against the working class, but it bugs me to see people working against their own class interests because they’ve been suckered by right wing demagogues into a frenzy of nationalism and knee-jerk social backlashing.

That’s why I switched to using Funyuns as a snack-food insult. There’s nothing more French than Funyuns. Except maybe French Onion Sunchips, but those fucking rock.

Face it, John–your liberal indoctrination will only be complete once your keyboard is filled with the remnants of the new Tomato & Mozzarella Pringles.
cleek
mmm! that’d go awesome with an ice-cold Chelada!

With a bag of Cheetos you possess the glory of your orange thumb tickling your tonsils as you suck long and hard and fully fear free of embarrassing excuses.

Can we still make war on the “phony Cheetos”?

I’m a Pringles man myself. At least I know they’re made out of potatoes, which the Irish consider health food.
Can anybody honestly say they know what Cheetos are made from?
That’s what I thought. Case closed.

Although both leave orange stains that are the mark of basement pundits everywhere, Cheetos blow when compared to the vastly superior Hawkin’s Cheezies.

I’d be happy if “teh right” would satiate their snackin’ jones with Veggie Booty.

Um…I’ll guess – cardboard dissolved by caustic chemicals and then sprayed with maybe a wood preservative, followed by a trip to an Earl Scheib auto painting location to add and bake in the orange coloring.
But I might be wrong.
whippoorwill
El correcto, but you left out the sprinkle of powdered Guano.
Tax Analyst
OH…I didn’t know we were talking about the special “Guano-Flavoured” Cheetos. That’s different, of course.
I think we have those in our vending machine here at work.
Thanks.

I don’t know who came up with that idea at budweiser but I saw those and thought I would be sick. Budweiser tastes bad enough but add CLAMATO TO IT?
cleek
not just any Budweiser, now, it’s Bud Light. you wouldn’t want the taste of beer to overpower the delicate flavor of canned clam squeezins, would you ?
Jimmmmm
Re: Bud-mato.
Khabad Khlash vendor: “Mountain Dew or crab juice?!”
Homer Simpson “Ewwww.” (winces in distaste) “Crab juice.”
John Cole
I like Clamato. Lots.

I am deeply ashamed of my liking for Cheetos

Especially with vodka, tabasco and Worcestershire, in a celery salt-rimmed glass.

I was going to say BIRDZILLA food one and all. Empty calories for an empty mind.
BIRDZILLA
The only one with a empty head is MICHEAL JACOBSON and the wackos from CSPI i kind of prefer ZINGERS and DOUGHNUTS myself

BIRDZILLA says
Okee Dokee, B , you win. can’t say as I like the food police much either. And anyone who likes ZINGERS has got at least a little something upstairs.

Ketchup-flavored chips! Yum! Those are awesome. (I’ll bet they would taste awesome with a 1996 Burgundy Pinot Noir… I’m just saying…)
