Rush Limbaugh says First Lady is no swimsuit model

[Jagermeister]

Radio host Rush Limbaugh poked fun at Michelle Obama's waistline Monday; the latest entry in a string of conservative attacks on the First Lady's anti-obesity campaign.

During his show yesterday, Limbaugh pounced on a report that the Obama family (minus the president) had dined on ribs while vacationing in Vail, Colo.:


The problem is -- and dare I say this -- it doesn't look like Michelle Obama follows her own nutritionary, dietary advice. And then we hear that she's out eating ribs at 1,500 calories a serving with 141 grams of fat per serving, yeah it does -- what do you mean, what do I mean?


What is it - no, I'm trying to say that our First Lady does not project the image of women that you might see on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, or of a woman [professional baseball player] Alex Rodriguez might date every six months or what have you. I mean, women are under constant pressure to look lithe, and Michelle My Belle is out there saying if you eat the roots and tree bark and the berries and all this cardboard stuff you will live longer, be healthier and you won't be obese. Okay, fine, show us.

Has tubby looked in a mirror lately!

Yet who would you rather see in a bikini, Limbaugh or the First Lady? People that look as if they have swallowed another human being have no right to comment on anyone else's eating habits.

Limbaugh has long struggled with his own weight and has publicly discussed his dieting efforts. He revealed in June 2009 that he had lost 58 pounds by restricting his caloric intake. Chest pains recently landed Limbaugh in the hospital, but tests showed he was not suffering from heart disease.

I think it's ok for fat people to call out other fat people fat. Just like it's ok for ni**ers to other ni**ers, ni**gers.

You need a heart to get heart disease.

LOL!!

The First Lady is not fat by any standard except maybe a fashion model's.

He needs to say shit like this to keep his name in the paper.......

[Seshmeister]

If she chose more modest outfits people wouldn't notice her waistline so much.

[sadaist]

Good. That bitch hypocrite wants to dictate to everyone else how to eat, she should look in a mirror first. That's as silly as Dr. Phils weight loss book.

How the fuck do you know what Michelle Obama eats?

I don't know what Mush eats (aside from large quantities of Viagra and Oxycontin) but judging strictly on appearance alone, I'd bet Mrs. Obama has a healthier diet. Despite the fact that Limpdick could easily afford to build a huge fucking greenhouse on his own Palm Beach estate and hire servants to grow himself a year round organic garden (since there's no way the lazy fuck would do the work himself)

Michelle Obama takes up childhood obesity as her cause, and she gets accused of dictating to others what they can and cannot eat. What "dictating" has she done, exactly?

Childhood obesity is an enormous (pun intended) problem in America. It is one reason why health care costs are increasing so rapidly, and why we should all be concerned about the future. I'm happy to have anyone, First Lady or not, working to address that issue.

Did Nancy Reagan get accused of the same thing during her "Just Say No" campaign?

Or what about the literacy campaigns from two first ladies who were ironically enough, the mother and wife of an illiterate Chimp?

Who the fuck do Babs and Pickles think they are, telling kids to read?

The one I hated was Nancy telling me to "Just Say No". I liked drugs back then. No way was I saying no.

I like ribs
