    The guy's M.O. has always been to get a rise out of people, and the snark here is just . . . what a jerk. But I guarantee this will set some people off.

    I admit it, I laughed. Dumb BS that now has Rush (the blowhard, not the band) in the news again.

    Limbaugh is the last person in the world who should be poking fun at anyone's waistline. Conservative hypocrisy at its finest.

    But yeah, JakeandElwood is right. A non-story about a non-entity. Yawn.

    Put me in the who cares category.

    I'm not a fan of Rush or Michelle.

    What a dumb fucking douche bag.

    The debate, as I understand it, is not over whether "tree bark" and "cardboard" are good to eat. We know they are. That's settled. End of that thread of debate.

    The debate is over whether the government should influence eating habits, and to what degree.

    What Michelle Obama eats at her dinner out has zero relevance. Also - and I regret feeling compelled to respond to the misdirection, but this is what he does, this is what he's good at - every nutrition article I've read for the last umpteen years recommends a "cheat day" each week, both to make it easier to adhere to your diet the rest of the week, i.e reward yourself, and from a functional level to recharge your metabolism. So there's nothing inconsistent with recommending that people eat "tree bark" and having a hearty meal on a night out. Nothing.

    No, it's not. Because he's not telling anyone else what to eat. Not hypocrisy. A lot of other things wrong with it, but not hypocrisy.

    Michelle Obama is fat? Who knew?

    She must wear a corset or something.

    A fat guy calling a skinny woman fat seems hypocritical or maybe ironic.

    He didn't say he isn't fat. He said she is (she's not, BTW).

    I call athletes slow sometimes. Or weak. I'm slow and weak, too. But so are they.
