Larry Craig's Super Tuber
http://www.politico.com/blogs/anneschroeder/1007/Shenanigans_Super_Tuber.html

When you see the words “Super Tuber,” what comes to mind?

A. Some swirly, fun-filled water ride
B. Sen. Ted Stevens
C. A potato
D. A recipe submitted by Sen. Larry Craig

It’s a toughie, but D is in fact the correct answer.

The recipe involves an Idaho potato — naturally — a hot dog and your favorite hot dog condiments. To enjoy the best type of “Super Tuber,” you should:

“Wash and dry potato. Rub with shortening or butter. With an apple corer or small knife, core out the potato center (end to end). Push hot dog through the center. Bake until potato is cooked through.”


:rofl: You can not make this shit up.

7. When does the foot tapping start?
Isn't that part of the process?
Maybe not. You could just walk around with the "Super Tuber" in your hand and that should get you all the action you want.

13. Poor Old Larry
This is really a good one. However, the best I've seen so far is the old film footage dug up by the CNN crew from the period of the Clinton-Lewensky deal where Larry Craig was blubbering over and over about how Clinton was a really "naughty boy" saying "naughty" several times......people should have been suspicious then.....sounds like Craig would have enjoyed spanking Clinton for messing around with a female instead of a guy in the 1st place.

17. PHOTOS of the super tuber recipe
Edited on Fri Oct-05-07 11:09 AM by SoCalDem
After washing and drying a couple of dirty potatos, Foodgoat cored the potato center, end to end, with an apple corer.

A generous rubbing of olive oil, along with nonstop giggling, helped stick a big hot dog all the way into the hole.
After baking in a preheated 325 degree oven for approximately one hour (or until the potato was fork tender), we topped the Tuber turned Super Tuber off with a sprinkling of bacon for good measure.

20. Read Larry's own description..what a hoot
Edited on Fri Oct-05-07 11:40 AM by SoCalDem
The Honorable Larry E. Craig
United States Senator, Idaho
Specialty Recipe
Super Tuber



Super Tuber is a great snack that uses one of my favorite vegetables: The Idaho Potato. Of course, I suppose any type of potato could be used, but I cannot guarantee that a Super Tuber made with anything but a true Idaho potato would taste as good. Sincerely, Larry E. Craig, United States Senator

Ingredients
1 hot dog, cook's choice
1 Idaho baking potato, 7 to 10 ounces
Mustard for dipping, any style
Other condiments as desired such as cheese sauce, sour cream, chili, chives, bacon pieces or black olives.

Wash and dry potato. Rub with shortening or butter. With an apple corer or small knife, core out the potato center (end to end). Push hot dog through the center. Bake until potato is cooked through.

To Microwave: Place on microwave safe plate; cover loosely (to avoid splatters). Microwave on high about 4 minutes per potato until fork tender.

To Bake in Conventional Oven: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake for approximately one hour or until potato is fork tender.

To Barbecue: Wrap in aluminum foil and place above medium hot coals, turning at least once during cooking. Cook until potato is fork tender.

Serving Suggestions: Allow potato to cool slightly. Eat as a finger food, dipping in your favorite hot dog condiments (mustard is my favorite).
Suzanne Craig
