Washington -- Unlike members of the White House staff who maintain the fiction that resigning was their decision, the executive chef, Walter Scheib III, minced no words Friday in saying he had been fired.

"We've been trying to find a way to satisfy the first lady's stylistic requirements," Scheib said in a telephone interview, "and it has been difficult. Basically, I was not successful in my attempt..."

The DUmmies have their fun, abounding with references to white trash/southern food. Someone with an IQ above room temperature chimes in with this:

It's obvious he has some fooled into believing he's a good ol boy, but DUers too? Just look at his background---prep school, Yale, Harvard---bankrolled by others into more than one failed business. From what I see of him he's been taught his arrogance and sense of entitlement--that good ol boy stuff is an act. He is the type who eats 'rich people food', not grits of fried pork rinds as has been stated here. And I bet has used the term 'the help', a demeaning phrase referring to people who work in his home, many times. That is what the chef was---the help---and for some reason Laura didn't like him. Perhaps he made eye contact.
