McCain's advantage over Giuliani--he knows where to get a cheesesteak in So. Philly...

[Lobster Martini]

(LM: How can someone who can't find the best cheesesteak on Passyunk Avenue in South Philadelphia expect to become President of the United States? This ain't New York, Rudy. We know where the bodies are buried, we know where to get a really good cheesesteak, and so does McCain. Your candidacy is lunchmeat.)

In S. Phila., Giuliani talks, greets and eats

For 45 minutes or so yesterday, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani brought the color and passion of the presidential campaign to the corner of Ninth and Passyunk.

En route to a campaign fund-raiser with his wife, Judith, the Republican presidential front-runner made a boisterous and chaotic stop at Geno's Steaks, a visit with obvious political symbolism.

Geno's is owned by Joey Vento, who got national and international attention last year for posting a sign in the window declaring, "This is America. When ordering, please speak English."

Giuliani, who met with Vento after ordering a cheesesteak, told reporters during a sidewalk scrum that he wants new arrivals to this country to be required to read, write and speak English if they want to become citizens.

(LM: This is why Giuliani has no chance of becoming president. Even John McCain can find a better cheesesteak in South Philly. McCain went to Pat’s.)

1. I disagree.

They're close, but unfortunately Geno's is better.

2. Infidel! Had lunch today?

I will meet you at Geno's, holding a Pat's steak sandwich and, for perhaps the only time, two DU writers and John McCain will agree on one issue, Pat's steaks are better. (It will take me 20 minutes to walk to Passyunk Ave. Cheers, LM.)

(Edit--typo. Cheese Whiz on my fingers.)

3. I thought you already had to show some competency with English to become a citizen

Or am I mistaken?

6. What if someone orders in Italian?

7. Anybody knows that Pat's is best..I mean...it's on South Street!

You finish your cheese steak and you're right in the middle of the action. See a flick at the TLA or hit the bars and see some tunes.

Geno's is too far away from the action.
