Republican mayoral candidate Joe Lhota posed proudly, this evening at a Queens fundraiser, with his favorite buffalo chicken pizza
And so I did...
A proud @JoeLhota4Mayor with a buffalo chicken pizza
Jacob Kornbluh

Which immediately caused some discomposure to a former Democratic mayoral candidate, who happens to be a proud Italian American
@jacobkornbluh @JoeLhota4Mayor Jacob, tell Lhota he will lose Italian American vote for eating buffalo chicken pizza. What's he thinking!

Frankly...
@jacobkornbluh the guy has enough problems and now he's adding to them by eating strange pizza and publicizing it.

As a British Jew, I simply asked the former Bay Ridge Councilman:
@SalAlbaneseNYC I can't eat it, but what's so strange by eating chicken pizza?
Jacob Kornbluh
@jacobkornbluh
@SalAlbaneseNYC I can't eat it, but what's so strange by eating chicken pizza?
Here, Mr. ALbanese offered me a lesson in diplomacy
@jacobkornbluh Jacob, pizza is an italian delicacy. No self respecting Italian would pervert it by adding buffalo chicken to it. Trust me!

I further pressed..
@SalAlbaneseNYC But its not like it's prohibited, is it?
Jacob Kornbluh
@jacobkornbluh
@SalAlbaneseNYC But its not like it's prohibited, is it?
But the former mayoral candidate, who knows his stuff, offered me a definite response:
@jacobkornbluh No it's not prohibited, but if you walk into a true Italian pizzeria and ordered it they may throw you out.

Hunter Walker, who saw me frustrated as ever, offered to serve as interpreter, using a Jewish reference.
@jacobkornbluh @salalbanesenyc allow me to translate here: it's not traif, just a shonda

But the question remained open: Will it cost Joe Lhota Italian-American votes? How about Mr. Albanese returning home?
@SalAlbaneseNYC @jacobkornbluh so can de Blasio count on your vote now sir?
Colin Campbell

@SalAlbaneseNYC @jacobkornbluh so can de Blasio count on your vote now sir?
Meanwhile, Joe lhota is up to his last slice...
If you're an Italian-American and a supporter of the Republican mayoral candidate, would you be turned off by this act? Would you reconsider your vote?
Your comments are highly appreciative...
