This must be why every time I pick up a bucket of extra crispy, I want to blow up airplanes and synagogues.

Is that a "Vote for Obama" sign in the background?

If that's the best defense they can come up with, let's hope their case is fried.

That terrible man is at it again, and this time he thinks we should shoot up corporate board rooms!

And listen to what else he says here:

"The bailouts start with the Republicans who have visibly abdicated their position as champions of limited government and free markets, and continue under the Democrats who have visibly abdicated their position as champions of the common man against corporate excesses. Wall Street socializes their losses and privatizes their gains while their puppets in DC give us nothing but SPIN."

What could possibly make him think we don't stand for free markets and limited government anymore? And what makes him think the Democrats EVER stood for the common man? Who does he think the common man is, the common man follows Jesus and pays his bills, that's what! I don't think this guy is on the Democratic payroll anymore, I think he's just plain CRAZY!!!

You want to talk about inciting people to terrorism, here's the real guy! Why do we let people carry on like this? There ought to be a law!

That must have been pretty darn good chicken...

Gregory, have you ever tried Crown Fried Chicken? Hey, I'd throw my grandmother under the bus for that stuff.

Hey, with so many liberal/progessive boneheads in NYC I'd say this defense might have a good chance of working...

It worked for Cpl. Louis LeBeau on Hogan's Heroeswith his infamous apple strudel.

Behold the power of fried chicken!

The Georgia National Bird!

Hasn't anyone else noticed who is peering over colonel Sanders shoulder?

It must be something in that secret recipe of herbs and spices.

I suppose the jerks from PETA will use this to pursuade us the boycott KFC well i say PHOOIE AND SQUAWK SQUAWK

They'll never be able to pullet off.

So many errors...

Now, most people hear "Twinkie Defense" and assume the argument was "Twinkies drove the man crazy". In the case in question, the argument was that the man was crazy because he was doing many things that were self-destructive and out of character for him; one of which was that the man was a former health nut who started binging on (among other things) Twinkies. You can argue on whether or not THAT logic is stupid, but its not as stupid as you might think.

Inducement (by whatever means) is a valid defense. If an undercover agent gives a man $20, a brick, and encourages the smashing of glass over burgers, then the man has a valid defense against a charge of smashing a window. I don't know enough of the facts here, but it's not the government's place to egg on people who MIGHT commit crimes.

And, of course, advertising chicken as Halel to boost sales (which involves no change in preparation) is a perfectly sensible decision for a business owner to make.
