Cheez Whiz Facts of the Day
Three key points:
- A half cup of Cheez Whiz goes great with 8 ounces of deli roast beef and some green peppers on a grilled panini.
- Neither major party presidential candidate likes Cheez Whiz on his cheesesteak.
- Only one major party presidential candidate feels the need to lie about it.

I see the point with this stuff, but it's really not funny, man. It was vaguely funny at first, but now it's almost embarassing.
Posted by: pjm | Aug 24, 2004 9:52:18 AM
I disagree. Keep it up. Keep the story going. Push the Prospect staff to write about it.
It does get old, but we hear it a lot. It's not a big deal until USA today runs a cover story :).
Posted by: niq | Aug 24, 2004 9:54:27 AM
On the contrary, pjm, it is quite funny.
I look forward to seeing MY's creative mind at work as he finds new ways to refer to Whizgate, ultimately driving this story into the mainstream media, which, sadly, has been ignoring this vitally important topic.
Why won't the MSM cover this?
Why? @$#%*&@(%@&^
Posted by: praktike | Aug 24, 2004 9:57:11 AM
I'll bet instapundit does not have the integrity to cover this story.

Wasn't Cheez Whiz found to have trace amounts of some anti-carcinogen some years back?
Cheese steaks: it's the right thing to do, and the right way to do it.

OK, yeah, Google explains that Conjugated Linoleic Acid is actually found in lots of foods, particularly meat and dairy, and so you don't necessarily have to have a greasy Philly cheese steak wit' in order to save yourself from cancer. Just get a hunk of Colby cheese, or lamb, or homogenized milk.
Posted by: The Navigator | Aug 24, 2004 10:27:30 AM
Very funny. I just hope the story gains legs.

Gee, Matt, you're turning from a snooty elite right-libertarian twit into a mature, fully snarky left-winger before our very eyes! Before long you'll know how to get to the PUBLIC hospital, and, just maybe, you'll stop poking dead animals with sticks! Who'd 'a' thunk it? Keep it up. :)

Eh, you know, I can't get behind the cheez-whiz. It seems to me that WMD made a better mensonge du jour.
Posted by: Kriston | Aug 24, 2004 10:45:45 AM
It seems to me that Cheese Whiz can be worked into the Mel-Brooksian "Christmas in Cambodia" musical comedy. Jello Biafra might give permission to use the Dead Kennedys song too.
I don't think that the Cheese Whiz theme is enough to carry a musical comedy all by itself, but I really don't know the entertainment business very well. Look how well the Pythons did with spam.

Zizka, I love you, but Cheez Whiz has two z's.
Is it possible to get the nitrous oxide out of the Cheez Whiz cans like you can for the Reddi-Whip? Just asking is all
Posted by: liberal japonicus | Aug 24, 2004 11:16:15 AM
Cheez Whiz comes in a jar. Easy Cheese is the one that comes in a can. and you can do whipits with it.
Posted by: sean | Aug 24, 2004 11:33:47 AM
Just get a hunk of Colby cheese, or lamb, or homogenized milk.
A hunk of homogenized milk is probably dangerous, unless its frozen.

You know, the "both of us are going to throw away the Cheez Whiz, but I'll tell you the truth straight up, and the other guy is going to lie about it" strategy worked so well for Walter Mondale...
To the extent that this election will be about Cheez Whiz, it will be about paying lip service to Cheez Whiz, and not about the substance of the candidates Cheez Whiz policies.

Just so everyone knows, that is not the definition of a cheesesteak.
Posted by: Bill | Aug 24, 2004 3:07:18 PM
What's a panini? And half a cup of Cheez Whiz is a lot of Whiz.
Posted by: bob mcmanus | Aug 24, 2004 3:52:07 PM
Philadelphia Cheesesteak sandwhiches don't have peppers. I was told that by a real Philadelphian.
And when GW bases his campaign on his love of cheez whiz you may have a point. Now you just sound stupid.
Posted by: Reg | Aug 24, 2004 4:36:02 PM
In defense of the Kraft people, it appears that the half cup cheez wiz is intended to be divided among 4 grilled paninis, not used in just one of them. Still sounds distrubing and gross to me...guess i'm not a good american

What MY misses is Kerry's act completely missed the mark, if you're going to order the food of the common man, then just order the damn food of the common man, choke down a bite, wipe your chin, and get on with the next photo op.
Kerry's Everyman options, in Philadelphia, among Philadelphians, was a cheesesteak, with or without onions. period.
CheezWhiz isn't the real issue - the local cheesesteak shop uses American, Cheddar, or, in some cases, has a No. 10 can of CheezWhiz on the grill from which they ladle the goopy cheese-type product onto the sandwich. The issue is taking a basic food and dandyfying it.
Note to the Kerry campaign, if Kerry comes back to Philadelphia and wants to have a soft pretzel, he can have it with plain yellow - dare I say "French's" mustard - or, given the basis of his wife's fortune, a Heinz mustard product of some sort - but asking for stoneground mustard in a white wine base is definitely a 'no-no'.

Matt-
Stay away from Italian food. First it was your denunciation of a waitress who correctly pronounced bruschetta, now it's cheez whiz on a panini. Except that should be panino. Singular form Harvard boy. I'm sure they taught you that.
Leaving grammar aside, that's just disgusting. Use real cheese on panini or eat something else. You're from NY, would you consider Pizza Hut real pizza? Then don't put cheese whiz on a panino.
