PETA suggests RNC serve ribs at convention

Celery ribs instead of pork ribs? No problem!

No, not the barbecued ribs the Texan delegates are used to, the celery kind. In a stunning display of blind optimism, PETA recently sent a letter to Douglas Leatherdale, Chairman of the Republican National Convention Host Committee, with a little suggestion for their menu. Here's a little taste from the letter, as posted on the PETA website. 

"We applaud your commitment to creating an environmentally-friendly convention and hope you know that the number one way to "go green" is to "go vegetarian." Please offer an exclusively meat-free menu at the convention."

You know what "go green" means to most of the Republican delegates? A side salad with the 32-oz T-bone. There's a better chance Gordon Ramsey will hire Rachael Ray as his new head chef, than the GOP serving a meat-free convention menu. Near the end of the letter, PETA really goes for whatever the vegetarian equivalent of a jugular vein is.

"Elephants are vegetarians, and people who care about the environment should be too!

That's telling them. I can just hear Mr. Leatherdale now, "Excuse me Mr. Cheney, I know you shot a guy in the face trying to shoot a delicious quail in the face, but we're going with curried root vegetables as the main course because our symbol is an elephant, and they're vegetarians."
