Limburgh choses to misunderstand The first Lady to make news. She is not stopping anybody from eating anything, she is merely asking everybody to empower themselves with knowledge and think carefully about their health when they eat. Limbugh did not even get the calorie content of the First Lady’s meal correct! Are you blind Mr. Limnbugh? look at the woman’s body build and explain yourself when you say she is not fit to talk about preventing obesity? Could you run like she does? You appear to have a weight problem Sir, you will do well to,listen.,
Michelle Obama may be the presidents wife,she may be fit but, she is not beautiful. Not by a long shot.She has droopy hound dog eyes.She has a weird mouth when speaking. Eloquent yes. not beautiful.
Do you prefer the cross-eyed Laura Bush?
C’mon, man, don’t stoop to patra’s level. Beauty is in they eye of the beholder, and I think Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Obama are both lovely, poised, well-mannered, intelligent women. And frankly, I’m much more interested in their brains than their faces (or their waistlines).
All of the first wives were not Elle McPherson. Let’s be honest here. Jackie Kennedy was close to it.
What does her beauty have to do with anything? Why so shallow?
here here!
You are hateful. What a nasty thing to say. Why on earth would you care enough to post more than once about her looks– in particular to define beauty for all of us? Find something else to do.
I completely agree with Rush. I also want to say that Laura Bush wrote the stupidest children’s book in history and thus was completely incompetent to promote literacy.
Good one. If Michelle Obama came out for literacy, the dittoheads would scream that the government is trying to make everyone read books, which of course are full of liberal ideas. Down with books, they’d shout. You KNOW it’s true.
You agree with Rush how? Seriously, I’m curious. I’d like to see a defense of Rush’s obviously ridiculous assertion given that he’s bloated and unhealthy. It’s okay to eat things that are bad for you, in moderation.
Laura shoulda promoted something she knew a lot about – smoking pot.
What is wrong with Republicans that they are so anti things that make children healthy? No exercise for children, no healthy foods! I think they want kids to keep eating crap and being unhealthy so that they will be brainless morons who will vote
Republican. Does anyone besides high school dropouts take anything the bloated Limbaugh says seriously?
Probably corn syrup is a very lucrative lobby.
tad, you are so correct.
Uh I’m not picking sides here but the phrase “…eating right is about moderation, not deprivation, which means it’s okay to splurge” is false. Splurge and moderation are definitely opposites.
I think the point here is that eating ribs for dinner isn’t unhealthy (or splurging). Eating too many of them is.
Oz;
Good point; moderation and splurge are oxymorons, similar to Rush and intelligent thought. Good to see someone was paying attention; thanks.
She is very fit, and she looks it. She just does not fit his ideal of what he considers good looking so he attacks her. Not all fit people have tiny bootys, he’s a big ass.
Prunella, I agree with you, that is so true.
Hes and idiot women on sports illustrated are mostly underweight and when did all of us have to look like si women shes not posing for the mag. Shes out with her family! I would take her body over 99 percent of us americans. She is very healthy looking go to google and put in pics of michelle obama in swimsuit in hawaii. Pull up the first link! Shes a knockout and her body is amazing may not make it on sports illustrated but shed make it on jet magazine or king or a car magazine or essence modeling swimwear. I get sick of overweight men talking about women that are healthy. Look in the mirror!
EW…..stick to reporting entertainment. Seriously.
Rush Limbaugh is in talk radio, which is considered a popular entertainment medium, last time I checked. Why is it when anyone espouses a view a person doesn’t agree with, the person thinks they should “just stay out of it”? And, while we’re at it, why do right-wingers never think Republican actors-turned-politicians like Ronald Reagan, Charlton Heston and Arnold Schwarzenegger should just “shut up and go back to making movies?”
Oxycontin is a hell of a drug.
i’m rush limbaugh, b!tch! lol
WHy is this pain killer addict who lost his hearing still on the air? Because networks have learned that spewing hatred gets people to tune in. Folks, don’t tune in, tune out. Soon he will be out of a job and reversing his tune. Unless he dies from obesity first. Michelle Obama is a tall, fit person. She works out with a personal trainer and has the most toned arms I have seen on most 47 year old women with kids. Just because she is not a size 2 model does not mean she is not fit! Rush, take your neandarthal macho pig with a little weenie thinking and F&#$ OFF!
I am politically conservative but I think Limbaugh is the biggest hypercritical idiot of all time. I have no idea why people even give an ounce of respect for his opinion. He’s a fat pig whose been married 4 times, a racist, drug abuser liar who needs to be quite. I am no fan of the Obama’s politics but I think Michelle looks fine and have no problem with her spearheading a heathy eating initiative
Bless you.
Who cares who is the role model! the high calories food will get you kill sooner no matter who inform the kids, if Michelle or God. What matter is that food like that should be minimized for kids, not grown people. Who cares Limbaugh, and for the record, it is like you know how many sh.t you informed that already know the opposite argument! waste of your mind-Radical Aficionado RP.
RIGHT ON RUSH! I’m alot skinnier than she is & no government agency has a right to tell us what to eat or how. Rush isn’t racist, but Ms. Obama certainly is. I’m the same race as her husband.
What gov’t agency is telling you what to eat or how?
It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. The Dittoheads are paranoid cowards. They don’t live in reality.
Oh, so you have personal experience of Michelle Obama standing in your kitchen and watching every bite you take?
You will NEVER find a photo of Michelle Obama in a swimsuit w/out a cover up on!
Meanwhile, pictures of Rush in a swimsuit are prohibited by the Geneva Convention.
Seriously. Each of his greasy manboobs probably weighs more than Michelle does.
They used to show pictures of Rush in a bathing suit to prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder this almost sounds like a racist comment si women dont usually have big booties. He sounds not only sexist but a real racist! Patra u have no rite to call her not beautiful her husbands think so so if she wasnt the presidents wife and such a nice person she would say kiss my ass! I will do it for you Mrs. Obama! Hi Five! Her husband apparently think so u havent seen him in tabloids with underweight barely legal girls. We love you Go Michelle Obama!
I am so glad you said it, I think so too.
Dear Sharon, I certainly have every right to voice my opinion that the presidents wife is not beautiful.hAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT FREE SPEECH? When,pray tell did our president tell YOU that he thinks his wife is beautiful? You must be so proud that he confided this to you. What a lucky woman you are. So priviledged.
Today on Birds of the Hinterland, we’re privileged to hear the cry of the Boorish Rightwinger when called out for behaving like a total prat with no sense of decency in a public forum. Let’s listen …
“FREESPEECH! FREESPEECH!”
he says it to the world u idiot
Its a free world we say what we think but lets be honest most women on sports illustrated are caucasian. Google it!
