Yeah, polenta and grits are the same. Another revelation that must have been made to him about the "little people".

Voila, an old, traditional dish from the French region called Land. The escaoutoun landais is a polenta-like dish blended with ewe's-milk cheese and black truffles

"I'm buddies with the guy who owns Waffle House. I eat there all the time. Steak, pork BBQ, fried chicken, watermelon, all that stuff you rednecks like. I'm just like you. My neck's been red. I had a rash once. Saw one of my doctor friends and he gave me some cream, sort of like chicken gravy. I'm a southern type of good ole' boy. Can someone get me a Sam Adams? Hey, I heard y'all got Chevy's up on blocks. I have a buddy who owns 47 fully restored Chevys. And why do y'all have seven lawnmowers and no lawn? I got Mexahegians that mow my lawns - all of them. I'm bi-racial. I like whites and almost whites."

Keep talking, Mittens. Just keep talking.

The first few test runs he had it backwards. Luckily they got the baby outta his mouth in time.

12. If you go to Mississippi, one of the first things you notice is there's a Waffle House every 15 feet

It's the Dunkin Donuts of the Deep South. Obviously the most important factor in picking a Republican nominee is his sincere love of grits. Is you is or is you ain't my constituency?
