The question is not whether this is really the world’s largest potato, but whether it is even a potato at all. Or is it just…

You're right, this thing's got as much to do with a potato as Dick Cheney with a human being.
But you call it a "sweet potato" in American English. Makes one wonder.
Posted by: Peter on December 8, 2008 11:29 AMI wish I could remember (but the blessings of old age interfere)the exact context but I am reminded of Jon Stewart's joke in which he "reported" that W's Christmas present for Cheney was a puppy chipper. I can't remember any American politician (including Joe McCarthy) with a lower public reputation. But it is sooo well deserved.
