"The Weekly" podcast for Wednesday, November 27, 2024: Thanksgiving: No Broccoli at President’s Bush Table
Time for the special Thanksgiving tradition for C-SPAN’s “The Weekly”:
Our annual episode about politicians and food.
This year – the podcast is all about President George H.W. Bush and his relationship with broccoli.
“I'm delighted to address this ecumenical prayer breakfast on this great occasion. You see, breakfast speeches are always my favorite. I figure it's the one meal where broccoli is never served.”
That was President Bush in August 1992 at a prayer breakfast at the Republican Convention.
Why would President Bush talk about broccoli at a prayer breakfast?
Where are other places he told his audience how much he disliked broccoli?
And what did First Lady Barbara Bush think about her husband’s broccoli hatred – and what stunt did she pull to retaliate?
Find out in C-SPAN’s “The Weekly” annual Thanksgiving food episode.
Because it’s our first-ever podcast about a side dish.
Find C-SPAN’s “The Weekly” wherever you get podcasts.
