"I Am Not Now, Nor Have I Ever Been a Vegetarian!"

There's a denial you don't hear in politics very often:

HELENA - Republican gubernatorial candidate Roy Brown this week accused Democrats of spreading a false rumor that he is a vegetarian in this meat-loving state. "I am not and have never been a vegetarian," Brown said. "I am disgusted by the baseless allegation that I am a vegetarian and that my personal eating habits should somehow be construed as opposed to the economic interests of Montana's livestock industry.

At least he didn't come out and say he was a gay American, or something like that.
