Jeez Whiz — It’s Cheese Wiz

June 9, 2006 at 10:08 am

You’ll love next week — we have an incredibly fabulous announcement to make here at Extreme Mortman.  We’ll welcome a guest celebrity media blogger — who will cover for Extreme Mortman an exciting, new, and under-reported angle to American politics: Food and politics.  More next week.  Stay tuned.  You won’t want to miss it.

Meantime, as we gear up for that stunner, imagine our excitement this morning to watch ”Good Morning America’s” story on the owner of Geno’s Steaks in Philly requiring customers to speak English when ordering cheesteaks.  As Joe Vento said, how much English do you need to know to say “Wiz Witout”?

But more thrilling was Jake Tapper’s set-up piece which expertly weaved — food and politics!  He reminded us of these two great cheesy moments from the 2004 campaign:

President Bush: “I like my cheesesteak ‘whiz with.’”

And:

John Kerry cheesesteak
