U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole may take political tips from Mike Huckabee, but she's sure not following his diet advice.
According to a press release from the N.C. Republican Party, Dole will hold events Saturday at the state GOP convention, beginning with an 8 a.m. meet-and-greet in her hospitality suite with the former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate.
"Sen. Dole's day begins at 8 a. m. with a coffee and doughnut breakfast in her hospitality suite located in the Biltmore Room," the release notes.
Huckabee, you'll recall, is the famously thin author of the diet-tips book "Quit Digging Your Grave with a Knife and Fork." Doughnuts, meantime, are the favorite food of Homer Simpson.
In Dole's defense, no one — with the possible exception of Martha Stewart — eats a doughnut with a knife and fork.
Either way, Dole will be sharing her diet tips — and political thoughts, presumably — with conventiongoers at 10:45 a.m. in the Guilford Ballroom at the Koury Convention Center.
