Not to put too fine a point on it, but Rush Limbaugh is talking smack about First Lady Michelle Obama's weight? Rush Limbaugh? And Michelle "you-can-cut-glass-with-my-chiseled-biceps" Obama?
As you well know, Michelle Obama has been taking plenty of criticism from the right for her nutritional campaign to encourage kids to move more and eat healthier fare. Joining her in the campaign is retail giant Wal-Mart, which recently announced it would begin reducing the sodium and fat in many of its prepared foods.

Biden: Nice trade, Mr. President.
This is a picture of a fat cow who tells us how and what we can eat. Before she does all her commands from the throne, she needs to lose about 50 pounds and start eating better.

Imagine what the media would say if Sarah Palin had the “buff physique†of Michell Obama and then lectured us of diet, exercise and weight control.
Saturday Night Live and the late talk shows, would have have a years worth of satire and venom to spew.
Ummmm... *Limbaugh* is saying this, ay. Limbaugh.
He ain’t no pencil-neck, and neither is he cut like an athlete. “Those who live in glass houses &tc...”
The first lardass tells America to eat carrot sticks.
"don'tcha hate it when it sounds so good in your head ,but ya flux it up with gorilla fingers"
Once again, media nitwits completely miss the point. Rush couldn’t care less about Michelle Obama’s weight. The issue is the Liberal Nanny State, telling everyone what to eat and what not to eat. It’s the intrusive sanctimony of these creeps that Rush was inveighing against.
Rush has never tried to mess with my restaurant meals or my children’s meals.
But Limbaugh isn’t lecturing America on what it should eat, while scarfing down 200-dollar lobsters and weighing the same as a Buick.
> while scarfing down 200-dollar lobsters and weighing the same as a Buick.
No, you are probably right. Limbaugh more likely scarfs down $7.50 triple-cheeseburgers-extra-mayo and weighs the same as a Cadillac.
Rush has the moral authority to lecture on most all things that ails America. But not the “overweight” issue. Not Rush.
Have you seen Rush lately? He is quite svelte.
He lost a lot of weight several years ago and has kept it off. Rush now keeps to a pretty healthy diet. He does enjoy his gourmet meals from time to time, but it is the exception not the rule.
You should check your facts before popping off.
He's not lecturing America -- Michelle Obama is. And that's what he's on about.
Rush? “Svelte”???
Rush can be accused of many things, and in some cases justifiably so. But “svelte...?”
Mate, he ain’t no ballerina!
Diehard, you have third shift left-wing bashing duties tonight?
She put herself in the position with her campaign against fat so this is valid. When the left were making for of Barabra Bush’s fat a$$, they did not have the same right because she was never advocating health.
> He’s not lecturing America
Crikey mate! Rush *lectures* America for a living, every day, on the radio, about all sorts of subjects. And he makes a king’s ransom doing so.
The man pontificates over the wireless for his occupation.
*Overweight* issues is not one of those subject matters that he can lecture on with any personal Credibility. Just sayin’...
(Pop him onto a scale, then pop the First Yeti onto a scale. Weigh them both...)
Rush lecturing America on what to eat.
Michelle lecturing America on what to eat.
Do you listen to his show? Perhaps you shouldn't offer any opinions if you don't know what you're talking about.
He does enjoy his gourmet meals from time to time, but it is the exception not the rule.
You should check your facts before popping off.
Quite frankly that is funny that you tell this poster to check facts when you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what Rush eats or if gourmet meals are the exception not the rule. Hypocrite!!! Really that is amazing that you even wrote your post seriously.
> Diehard, you have third shift left-wing bashing duties tonight?
(GRIN!) Remember we’re a day ahead and a few hours behind you Yanks, here in NZ. I’m on First Watch 20h00 to 00h00, about to go off duty in just over an hour...
*DieHard*
If you are in NZ, then what the hell does this have to do with you?
Have you seen him lately? Yeah, he has a big frame, but he is pretty fit in it.
You are operating from outdated information. Yes, he was oversized, but that was years ago.
And your argument is a non sequiteur anyway. Rush isn't the overeating fat person demanding that the nanny Government take food from the mouths of people. That would be shelly fat-ass obama. Even if Rush was 400 lbs his point would be proper.
Rush is not lecturing America about obesity. He is merely pointing out M.O.'s hypocrisy.
Regards,
>>Really that is amazing that you even wrote your post seriously.<<
You are wrong on so many points. You should be posting on your regular sites of Daily KOS and DU.
Keep your trolling consistent. It never works to post stupidity on the intelligent sites.
>>ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what Rush eats or if gourmet meals are the exception not the rule. Hypocrite!!! Really that is amazing that you even wrote your post seriously.<<
I listen to his show regularly. It comes up often enough to give me an idea of his eating habits.
I gather you, like the rest of your liberal friends, do NOT listen to his show and thus are talking out of your ass.
I can tell you that I eat steak everyday. That does not make it true. People exaggerate all the time. You sure the heck do.
I see that I’m not the only one here who smells the scent of a troll.
Yes, he is lecturing Mooch-elle who is lecturing America.
Michelle has no expertise in nutrition.
>>Yes, he is lecturing Mooch-elle who is lecturing America.<<
As should we all. A big old overeating fat-ass woman with no official role in the government is a hypocrite, period.
Anyone and everyone is and should castigate her, no matter his/her weight or eating pattern. We ain’t the ones wagging our finger.
>>. People exaggerate all the time. You sure the heck do.<<
Good thing you just make it clear you are a freaking idiot. It saves time for everyone.
Being the chubby chaser that I am, the derrière is the only thing I like about her even a little bit. But her superior, liberal know-it-all Nurse Ratched manner is what really gets me p.o.’d.
Michelle “you-can-cut-glass-with-my-chiseled-biceps” Obama?
Bwahahahahahahaha Lard butt
> If you are in NZ, then what the hell does this have to do with you?
Good question: when America sneezes, we all catch cold. When your First Yeti barks about nutrition, our do-gooders bark in unison and start passing nutrition laws for our kids. And when Rush pontificates, our conservative talk-show hosts all weigh in: some pro-, some anti-.
Such intelligence you have. You can call me an idiot but I call you a cold blooded liar on so many level that it makes you pathetic.
> I see that I’m not the only one here who smells the scent of a troll.
I wouldn’t have thought you would be as ill-mannered as that, Scanian. The mere fact that I do not worship at the Temple of Rush does not make me a Troll.
And if he says silly things, it is OK to call him on that. Calling people “fat” is a lazy argument, best reserved for willowy folk — which Rush ain’t.
Conservatives have much, much better things to criticize liberals for.
‘Tis true, Rush Limbaugh has lost weight: and it is good to see. I bet he will live longer, and that can only be a good thing.
However, I bet he still has 50 lbs+ on Michelle Obama, and I bet he’d still tip the medical scales as “Obese” if not “Morbidly Obese” — even from this photo that much is plain: he has a way to go yet. (So do I)
It is not a non-sequitir to point out that “those who live in glass houses &tc.”
There’s not alot of point Rush using the “fatty-fatty-two-by-four” argument if it can be fired straight back at him, because it is self-defeating. That’s a lesson we all ought to have learned in kindergarten.
There are many better ways of defeating Michelle Obama’s homilies on weight control than that.
Here is the deal from my perspective: in the last 6 months or so, I’ve noticed a real decline in the level of “civility”(yes, that insipid liberal word) on this site. FReepers are ripping into other Freepers like never before. And certain conservative public figures who used to command respect around here are considered fair game. They don’t pass a series of litmus tests for purity, apparently.
How can anybody tee off so lustily on Limbaugh when he probably has done more than any single individual to keep the spirit of conservatism alive since Reagan left office?
If the aggressive-minded on this site feel such a need to draw blood, why not go over to DU and blast that crowd for a while? At least they truly deserve it!
All the nit-picking, worry about ideological purity, and criticism of other conservatives will not come in handy during the 2012 election cycle. If we keep ripping one another apart, we will be a soft target for the Obamaoids, as bad as they are.
And please don’t overlook the fact that plenty of them lurk and even post here. Why attack our conservative friends and give the lefties ammo?
Michelle is lecturing America on nutrition while eating like 14 Maria Antoinettes and a Basking Shark.
Please think of a pithier, more effective way of ‘defeating Michelle Obama’s homilies on weight control’ than simply pointing out what Rush has pointed out.
And when you have thought of one, please post it here.
And Sarah Palin has run a marathon in under 4 hours....quite an accomplishment.
You might be surprised how much a tall woman of average weight weighs. I had a friend who was 6 feet tall; wasn’t fat and wasn’t thin. She weighed almost 180 lbs. So mechelle being tall and rather expansive in her middle is surely well into the 200 lb range.
(As an aside, in response to nothing anyone has said: It is tyranny, BTW, to force us to eat certain things, and to control our diets.)
