Canvassing the Veggie Vote... Or Not?

This just in via Pharyngula. Roy Brown is appaled at being called a... vegetarian! What a foul calumny to describe this fine upstanding candidate as that most derided of Montana residents, the dreaded Vegetarian.
I was surprised by this story until I recalled the tale of the British TV producer person who, whilst studying the menu, asked a roadside diner waitress in Montana, 'What do you recommend for a vegetarian?' To which said serving wench replied through her gum, 'I recommend you get out of Montana'.
Seems there are worse things than being black.
