Though he routinely espouses strong views about the need to tighten up border security and to instill federal legislation that would limit the opportunities of Mexican immigrants inside the United States, he was able - just for a solitary moment - to see past the usual hard-line conservative rhetoric and just enjoy a "damn-near perfect" chicken quesadilla.
"I should definitely come in here more often," said Clitheroe, failing to recall that, just this past Sunday, he had been displaying to his friend Mike his utter disdain for the Hernandez family two doors down. "I like the sound of those Nacho things too."
In a gesture that belied his usual small-minded soundbites projecting the idea that Mexicans are coming to the U.S. and stealing American jobs, Clitheroe could be heard uttering the words "thank you" to his server Carlos upon receipt of his food.
"The service is actually pretty good here," he continued. "It certainly beats Arby's in that department. I think I'll come back again sometime."
Meanwhile, as the taste of his cheesy fiesta potatoes began to wear off late Tuesday night, Clitheroe was outlining to his family why the state of Indiana needs to incorporate Arizona-style anti-immigration laws in an effort to curb illegal immigration.
