Condiment Outrages Conservatives
The Best In Brief
Condiment Outrages Conservatives
Another sign that President Obama is an elitist Muslim terrorist: The President ordered a cheeseburger with Dijon mustard. "What kind of man orders a cheeseburger without ketchup but Dijon mustard?” asked Laura Ingraham after the president’s visit to an Arlington, Virginia burger joint with Vice President Joe Biden. Sean Hannity played a Grey Poupon commercial and said "I hope you enjoyed that fancy burger, Mr. President." Mark Steyn, filling in for Rush Limbaugh, said Obama was trying "to enlighten us" through his order. The blog Gateway Pundit wrote “They're just two ordinary metrosexual guys going out for a burger.” Sean Hannity prefers his burgers completely raw, wrapped in steak instead of a bun, and with cow blood as the only condiment.

They are salesmen baby, politics is a brand you sell to whoever pays the most. If the democrats paid the most they would be so far left it would make your hair stand on end

;) maybe it was really just ketchup, and they knew it. Maybe that's why they consider ketchup so American!
Not when Kerry was running, of course, then Heinz was the elitist condiment, but still...

I guess they didn't find anything that has substance to criticize, so they went for this.

No, we like our humor subtle and actually funny. Going for the cheap shot is, well, tacky.

The left doesn't get humor????? Let's see... what are the names of the right wing Stewarts, Colberts, Lettermans, Lenos, etc? I could go on with the list of lefties who don't understand humor and I will admit to thinking that some righties... Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, Beck... are absolutely ridiculous but not in a haha kind of way.
rpopstar
this gets things backwards...the gop and the right can't do humor....remember [hopefully you don't] the faux news "1/2 hour news hour?"
i'm from cleveland..where mustard rules...as long as it's "stadium mustard." it goes with everything...

a- jefferson, franklin, adams, lincoln all loved french mustard.
b- isn't a brand of mustard called French's ?
c-the difference between the 2 is one uses tumeric, one wine. do you know which?
d- does the right want to impede my right to keep and smear mustard?
e-hannity may use "samba french kiss men's cologne.
f- is that all they got? they fail the course in Goebbels 101

That would be "turmeric" you culinary bumpkin.

As someone who loves Indian cooking, I have noticed that a lot of people make that same mistake about the spelling/pronouciation of turmeric. And they are not "bumpkins."

The Right wouldn't know a joke if it shot them in the face...

Gee, I wonder if Hannity, Ingraham, et al, order "call brands" when at a bar or cocktail party. My bet is that none of them say "scotch on the rocks" or "gin and tonic" without specifying the brand of alcohol they want. It's high time that someone else in the media report on this, so that we can out them as the elitists that they probably are. Imagine choosing what you eat and ordering what you want at a restaurant!!!!!
What's more disturbing is that these people pass themselves off as reporters.....and if they did THAT job and knew the FACTS--which is a basic skill of reporters----they would know that the particular establishment where Biden and Obama ate has all sorts of condiments that one can specify when ordering a burger, and that's what they're known for.
All their nonsensical carping says is that these bloviating right wing lunatics are vapid, idiotic entertainers who have no more interest in spending time dealing with the real and serious issues facing the country, let alone proposing serious policy alternatives, than their hero, George Bush, had in telling the truth.

I am so ashamed. I worked for over a year to get this man elected. Dijon mustard? Our country has sunk to this.

Democrat responding. Dijon on a burger? And he ordered in medium-well, as if there is such a thing. There's rare, and there's inedible. And yet it's enough for me that he ordered meat. He looks like the find of guy who would order a tofu burger. In spite of that sissy metrosexual order, he'll now have to placate the food freaks who want him to turn the entire White House lawn into a pretentious organic vegetable garden.

Medium well?
Yuck.

Weren't you paying attention? See above.

Why didn't Obama really mess up the warped brains of the RW nutjobs plus all those factory farmers who are more interested in their own profits than human health, and order a veggie burger?

I'm 84, a WW-ll vet and all my life I've had the feeling that people were snickering behind my back, shunning me, unable to maintain friends, three divorces, if only someone had the courage to tell me, to my face, to stop using mustard on my burgers my life could have been changed.

Le taureau étendu a sacrifié sa vie pour notre plaisir. Le mineur que nous pourrions faire est de la manger avec le poupon gris. Ce serait une insulte autrement.
Kirbonicus
Exactly!
Oui, oui. Voulez-vous cocher avec moi? Ce soir?
jackbutler5555
I might consider it, if your name was kirbonica.
Kirbonicus
LOL... good one.
It was the only French I knew... besides 'menage a trois'. Do you see a pettern to my thinking? My wife says she does...

Fromage américain ? C'est une insulte à une vache française. Le ketchup, la mayonnaise, la moutarde, les vaches américaines etc. peuvent ne pas avoir la saveur extraordinaire en tant que ceux de France.
