Rush Limbaugh criticizes First Lady Michelle Obama's weight, nutritional campaign
LA Times ^ | February 22, 2011

Posted on 02/26/2011 12:51:52 AM PST by South40

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.

Rush? “Svelte”???

Rush can be accused of many things, and in some cases justifiably so. But “svelte...?”

Mate, he ain’t no ballerina!

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...)

Dear God man, do you not understand?

Rush isn't lecturing America on what to eat.

Michelle IS lecturing America on what to eat.

My point is that he's not lecturing America about overweight issues -- he's lecturing us about Michelle Obama lecturing US!

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.

(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*

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 has the moral authority to lecture on most all things that ails America. But not the “overweight” issue. Not Rush.

Rush is not lecturing America about obesity. He is merely pointing out M.O.'s hypocrisy.

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.

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.

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.

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.
