Chabot the food critic
In case you wanted to know what Rep. Steve Chabot likes to eat (Chinese, he loves Chinese food!) or what he hates to eat (anything green, like asparagus or broccoli) the Capitol Hill newspaper filled with everything you didn't know you didn't want to know has it all: HERE.

Post a Comment*Don't forget: he loves fishsticks.
Especially from westside fish fry!
I thought he liked to eat shrimp, which is fitting since he's beaten Cranley twice.
Must be a REALLY slow news day...
Why no opportunity to comment on the Brinkman story? You post about everyone else...
From a news report:
"Corporate welfare that government can't afford" was how Chabot described it to The Enquirer in 1995. But he was talking about royalty relief - forgiving the royalties that oil companies pay for drilling on federal lands - not tax breaks.
The energy bill Chabot voted for this year did provide for tax credits to encourage more domestic oil exploration - and also included royalty relief and other subsidies. In fact, Chabot was on the House-Senate conference committee that hammered out the final details of the bill. Chabot's campaign has taken more than $175,100 from energy and natural resources interests (including PACs and individuals) over his career, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. That number represents about 2 percent of his total fundraising.
Members of Congress are required to disclose the companies they own stock in, but not the exact amount. As of his 2005 report, he owned $1,000 to $15,000 in each of the following companies:
Gulf Island Fabrication, which makes offshore drilling platforms.
Encore Acquisition, an oil exploration company with holdings from Texas to Montana.
Matrix Service Co., which builds, repairs and maintains refineries, power plants and other energy facilities.
He bought all three - along with 11 other stocks - in July 2004. He reported less than $200 in annual dividends from each company.
Again, congressmen have to report only vague ranges of their investments, so Chabot's net worth could be anywhere from $385,027 to $1.1 million. That means his oil company holdings can be no more than 12 percent of his portfolio - but probably closer to 2 percent.
The Chabot campaign says he bought the stocks when they appeared in Business Week's "The 100 Best Small Companies" list.
Which specific oil companies receive tax breaks is not a matter of public record. But for what it's worth, Chabot's investments have done quite well. Not including some small dividends, GIFI is up 24 percent since Chabot bought it. EAC is up 34 percent, and MTRX (boosted by some private contracts to repair facilities damaged by Hurricane Katrina) is up 74 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 19 percent over the same period.
What does he eat in DC? There Steve is just a little fish in a big pond.
I heard that Chabot liked the creamed chipped beef at the Longworth HOB Cafeteria
If they put the Brinkman story up on Political Extra there would not be enough room for the responses. Brinkman ought to be in jail not in the state house.
mmm. fishsticks. crunchy or batter fried?
