MIchelle Obama and ribs

[valarltd]

So, we were treated to the auditory spectacle of Rush Limbaugh going off on the First Lady for having a plate of ribs.

This.... flames on the sides of my face...

1) Anything can be worked into a balanced diet.
2) An occasional treat is fine. It's when the treats become a regular thing.
3) Some nasty dogwhistles in the part about show us how to live on twigs and berries and roots. Black=nature dwelling primitive without the art of fire apparently, even when one is the First Lady of the United States.
4) Clearly, no woman is immune to body shaming. Also the "black=ugly" got laid on with the subtextual trowel.
5) Rush can go choke on a Viagra.

I think the most annoying part of his rant was him calling her "Michelle ma belle". How obnoxiously condescending.
