Rush Limbaugh binges on anti-Michelle Obama vitriol
Washington Post ^ | February 23, 2011 | by DANA MILBANK

Posted on 02/23/2011 4:11:01 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Rush Limbaugh thinks Michelle Obama is a big, fat idiot.

The broadcaster announced during his show Monday that the first lady "took the kids out to Vail on a ski vacation, and they were spotted eating, and they were feasting on ribs - ribs that were 1,575 calories per serving with 141 grams of fat."

Actually, the restaurant put the calorie count at 600, but Rush was determined to chew out Obama. "The problem is - and dare I say this? - it doesn't look like Michelle Obama follows her own nutritionary, dietary advice," he said. "I'm trying to say that our first lady does not project the image of women that you might see on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue."

Limbaugh is in an excellent position to make this observation, being perhaps the finest example of the male form since Michelangelo sculpted David. In 2009, he went on a fad diet, full of controversial supplements but little exercise, and lost 90 pounds. Such crash diets are dangerous - and, sure enough, Limbaugh wound up in the hospital at the end of the year with chest pains. Judging from recent video footage, he has regained most of the bulk.

If Moochelle pigged out on a rack of baby back ribs slathered with BBQ
sauce AND the usual sides, as well, she certainly did consume that many cals.

Double order for Moochelle.

You may want to check your facts.

ie: there are 810 calories in the Original Roadhouse Grill Baby Back Ribs - Half Rack.

Franken who titled a book Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat idiot?

I remember that book, my left wing neighbor gave me a copy......I found it ironic that it only had one paragraph dedicated to Rush.

The difference between Michelle and Rush is that Michelle is attempting to use the force of government to make us eat what she deems is healthy food. If she just spoke about it and used herself as an example, it would be fine. However, she is trying to force local school lunch programs across the country to bend to what she decrees is worthy to eat. That is a decision for parents, local school boards and administrators across the country. Not Moochelle Obama. Really, do we want this telling us what to eat?

According to this website, Chili's baby back ribs are close to that description. I'm sure it's serving size dependent.

Rush is right, but I think he is making a mistake in going after the First Lady. He will come across as a mean, fat, white guy who attacks women rather than issues.

I think he should save his ammunition for more important issues where Obama is destroying our nation.

There aren't that many calories or that much fat in a full rack of baby back ribs. I think Rush's accuracy rating to a hit on this one.

I think you are correct here. A half rack of Chili's baby-back ribs has 500 calories and 34g of fat...a full rack has 1370 calories and 82g of fat.

So...while I still dislike MO immensely, looks like Rush didn't do proper homework on this one...or someone on his research team led him astray. It is quite feasible that those ribs were 600 calories.

“Rush Limbaugh thinks Michelle Obama is a big, fat idiot”

I’d say that tens of millions of Americans think that.
So what? That is our right.

However, I think Rush sees Moochelle the nutritionist in general as an angry walking billboard of liberal hyprocrisy and arrogance

“Let them eat ribs!”

Leftists don’t even recognize the hypocrisy.

Their elitism leads them to the conclusion that the “ruling class” has the intellectual and moral superiority making them capable of consuming resources (and food) in a moderate manner, and that the peasant class has no such ability to make decisions for themselves.

This attitude and conclusion is self-stroking and self-affirming in that they are not only superior, but they care more about those who are inferior than those who would just leave them to their own folly.

I think I count a dozen mugs.
The glass mugs themselves weight 2-3 pounds.
The liter of beer about 2 pounds.

She’s carrying around 50 lbs, there.
Tough gal.

One serving, not a half or a full rack, but about four-five small baby backs will give you half, or more of daily fat, near all daily protein, all or double daily salt. ( Salt and protein loading are hard on the Kidneys. Blacks have twice the hypertension rates of whites/asians. So FrauOberEatFurer sould show nutritional leadership.)

So, then they had a glass of water, right? No mac’n cheese, cole slaw, bread and butter, desert, Coke or ‘Sweet’ Ice Tea?

Also, the Obama in Savanna Georgia went to Miss ????. It’s famous, lines out side the door, only thing on the menu is a classic heart attack Southern FRIED chicken dinner. Mash, collard greens, corn bread, butter, fried okra...

Ahem! Mr. Milbank? Mr. Milbank, sir. Rush Limbaugh, unlike Michelle Obama, doesn’t tell other people how to eat. Get the difference, Mr. Milbank?
