No really. Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and The Rush Limbaugh Show all actually took the time to make fun of the fact that Obama ordered spicy mustard on a hamburger.
Even in the deepest gloom of the Bush presidency, was there ever an example of even the most extremely-out-there left-wing Democrat pundits getting so desperate as to focus their fire on something even remotely as trivial as the President's hamburger condiments?
When it comes to the behavior of the once-respectable Republican media over the last 10 years, I've gone from dismay to disdain to contempt to now slack-jawed incredulity at what they have become. Can you imagine Russell Kirk or Milton Friedman ever taking time to make fun of Lyndon Johnson's love of Fresca? Can you imagine William F. Buckley Jr. taking time to mock Carter for his choice of ties or Clinton for his jogging shorts?
I keep thinking the Republicans have hit rock bottom... and I'm always wrong.
I don't get it. What's wrong with spicy mustard on a burger??? Is it some American thing we Europeans don't understand?
ReplyDeleteOf course there is nothing wrong with it. But these pundits are so desparate that they will make fun of Obama no matter what he does.
ReplyDeleteMmm that's what I thought already. Says a lot about the people making fun of the spicy mustard, a bit like the old 5 year old "Jeff is wearing a green shirt, he is soooo stupid!".
