Not that Limbaugh has been listening, but Michelle Obama has often talked about everything in moderation. Limbaugh obviously doesn't subscribe to that theory, whether it's food or illegal drugs. Michelle Obama may not look like someone Alex Rodriguez would date (he actually brought that up, though it's not terribly clear that it's a bad thing), but Limbaugh is hardly the definition of a fetching catch. He may have a bank account, but Michelle has a brain. And a damned good one at that.
CNN:
Michelle Obama is taking heat from talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh after a report in the Vail Daily that she consumed a not-so-healthy-meal of ribs for dinner while on a recent visit to the Colorado resort, the latest example of conservative angst directed at the first lady's healthy-eating initiative.If you read on in the article, you see that Limbaugh's attack on the First Lady is capping off a week-long attack on Mrs. Obama by Palin, Bachmann and Breitbart. It's clearly part of a larger strategy from the right, to attack the wife of the President because she's urging our obese country to eat better. It's weird. Maybe they're trying to tee the President off for some reason. But it's rather juvenile. It's also part of the misogyny that permeates the GOP. The party has a serious problem with strong women. Forget strong - they have a problem with educated women. Otherwise, how would someone like Palin, who can't even speak proper English (it's her first and only tongue), rise to the head of the party? As for Bachmann - Mensa she ain't. They did the same thing to Mrs. Clinton. And Nancy Pelosi. It's what they do. Demean.
"The problem is, and dare I say this, it doesn't look like Michelle Obama follows her own nutritionary, dietary advice," Limbaugh said Monday on his radio program. "And then we hear that she's out eating ribs at 1,500 calories a serving with 141 grams of fat per serving."
"She is a hypocrite," Limbaugh continued. "Leaders are supposed to be leaders. If we are supposed to go out and eat nothing, if we are supposed to eat roots, berries, and tree bark, show us how."
