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

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.

I’ve never heard Rush say that Mo was big, fat, or an idiot.

He merely calls her fake and a hypocrite.

Rush never claimed to be a nutritional guru while feasting on taxpayer’s dollars.

The big difference being that Limbaugh, unlike the moose, is not trying to dictate what others eat.

“...the restaurant put the calorie count at 600,”

A grilled cheese sandwich has less than 300 calories. Must have been some lean ribs! (sarc)

There is more difference. MOOCHelle is an America-hating, American-hating, Freedom-hating, Constitution-hating, self-entitled, arrogant, equal-opportunity, condescending bigot. Mr. Limbaugh isn’t.

Now they are telling Rush what he thinks? And wasn't it Franken who titled a book Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat idiot?

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.

only democrats are allowed to point out hypocrisy. It’s racist if anyone else does it.

Rush Limbaugh lives rent free inside the heads of liberals. It drives them nuts and gives him hours of entertainment. He provokes them for fun and profit. Keep up the good work Rush!

" . Some people are suggesting that my comments are below the belt. Well, take a look at some pictures, given where she wears her belts. I mean she wears them high up there around the bust line. Isn't just about everything about her below the belt when you look at the fashion sense that she has "

If Michelle would just look behind her, she could spot all those calories and fat grams.

I just looked.

There are 1582 calories in a rack of babybacks at Outback.

Well said!

Michelle says: Put that meat back in the case. Uh-uh... no soda allowed, put that back, too. Grab some arugula and collards and no more than one turnip... STOP! Put that milk and cheese back, you ain't allowed to eat that! Now, get in your electric mini-car and go home... and remember to watch your thermostat... you know Barack don't want you bein' too hot or too cold and if you don't set it right we'll set it for you from the White Hut. Now, turn off the lights and go to sleep. We'll let you know what to do in the morning. Americans will learn to submit. One big socialistic village.

Mooshell is hoping she can have 4 more years of publicly paid multi-million dollar vacations, designer wardrobes, private celebrity entertainment and gormet food.

Pies and Holidays for me but not for thee
--Michelle Scrooge Obama

One big socialistic village.
