‘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.

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.

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.

“Obese” by the BMI charts does not necessarily equal fat at all! I am obese according to the BMI charts, they don’t allow for differences in build or muscularity. I have a very large frame, relatively short legs and a long torso and long arms, call me apelike if you want to but most people consider me anything but fat. In fact someone this week referred to me as, “Tall, big and slim”. Most guess my weight at forty pounds or so below what I actually weigh. In fact if I dropped down to the MAX weight I am allowed by the charts people would be worried about my health and might start wondering if I had aids or something.
