I thought the best political use was by Lane Kirkland of the
AFL-CIO, who attributed it to Burger King(!)

Btw, it has been suggested by a fellow Limey, that the 
success of the slogan and the whole commercial is due
to the sexual innuendo in it (beef, buns, etc). I disagree.
I think the great American public is slow to pick up on
subliminal messages in commercials (e.g. Shasta).

OK, flamers, why do you think "Where's the beef?" is sweeping 
the nation? But remember, you are not typical!
