Sarah Palin Orders Cheesesteaks Better Than John Kerry

9/30/08 at 11:42 AM

For foodies and Philadelphians, John Kerry's 2004 order of a swiss cheesesteak was an iconic political blunder akin to Michael Dukakis in the tank. Sarah Palin was better prepared for her trip to Philadelphia last weekend. She ordered two steaks with Cheese Whiz and onions (she didn't say "Whiz with," but that's forgivable). But the best part is when the Tony Luke's cashier looks right at Palin and says, "Name?" Watch the video and revel in the indifference.
