Today, in trying to explain the new system of “Ranked Choice Voting” for the upcoming Democratic Party Primary, he used the example of ranking his favorite toppings on a NYC pizza. Personally, I’m a traditionalist with pizza: Mozzarella, a little grated cheese, and a delicious sauce, with the crust baked to perfection!
But Bill has his own rankings of toppings: (1) Green peppers; (2) Olives; (3) Sausage; (4) Mushrooms; (5) Pepperoni.
He then proceeded to violently X-out PINEAPPLE. And he stated, in grand NY style: “Let me tell you what never, ever, ever should be voted for! This is ridiculous, okay! Pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza — we’re not in California. Okay? … This is sacrilegious in Italy to put pineapple on a pizza, so I’m just, totally, no way, never going to rank that!”
It’s sacrilegious in NYC too! Two Thumbs Up, Bill! Check out his spirited slap at pineapple at 14:20 or so here.
