America's leading conservatives are shocked and appalled over Obama's lust for fancy, elitist condiments, among other things

There's just so much all-around nuttiness going on with the right wing today, it's almost mind-boggling. Let's review...

-Just about every conservative "thinker" under the sun is bloviating all over the place over the fact that Obama ordered a cheeseburger and asked them to hold the ketchup and add dijon mustard to it. No, seriously. Apparently "Real Americans" slather ketchup on their burgers and hold the mustard. For the record, I prefer neither. I'm a mayo man you see! Does that make me a commie too? Anyway, Jason Linkins at HuffPo has a nice roundup of video and audio clips from the usual suspects expressing outrage. This is what it's come to.

-My old buddy Joe the Plumber announced today in Time Magazine that he's leaving the Republican party to join the Aryan Nation or something. Who knows?

-And just when you thought they couldn't embarrass themselves even more, the Republicans in the Senate released this new promotional video today to scare every Bubba under the sun into believing that Obama's closing of Guantanomo Bay will result in terrorists blowing up the nation's local VFW halls...

I think we ought to slather Joe The Plumber with ketchup,shove a fuse up his ass,and drop him on Texas.

You know,I have a neighbor,a life-long Republican,in his 70's,who is just sick and frigging tired of the GOP's-and I quote-"bullshit fear mongering."He also describes today's average Republican as "dipshits who shouldn't be allowed to breed,too stupid to realize greed isn't fiscal responsibility,and scared shitless of anybody darker than vanilla ice cream".

Dude, if you're from Chicago it's a crime to use ketchup. When I was 8 I wanted to order ketchup on my hotdog and my dad, Chicago born and raised, told me I was embarrassing him. He was kidding but I never put it on hotdog after that.

It's weird, I don't know how it started or got so widespread. Last time I was at Wrigley Field some obnoxious drunk was ahead of me in line for a hotdog. When it was my turn the vendor said to me, "That guy was such a jerk. And he put KETCHUP on his dog." It's like the ultimate sign of being a tourist. Well, that and not knowing the "s" at the end of Illinois is silent.

So what now all you media elites? You got a problem with some good ol' fashion hometown traditions? Sorry if Chicago isn't real america enough for you, Hannity.

Holy fucking shit!?!?!? Is that what the right has be reduced to? Mocking Obama for wanting mustard on a burger? Wow. That is pathetic beyond belief. And to think, I used to align myself with the GOP. Hell, back in high school, in the late 80s, I wanted to be Alex P. Keaton when I grew up. It's truly sad watching the these once proud men and women flap around like fish out of water. But at the same time, I must admit, I quite enjoy it. What does that say about me? Ah, fuck it, they deserve it. Flap bitches, flap.

I'm surprised they didn't say Obama wanted a cheeseburger with poop on it. (for me to poupon!)

Don't they have better things to do?

If the United States was a huge, uncircumscised penis, the GOP would be the smegma.

Grey Poupon....he's clearly a commie. I hate to have to agree with Hannity, but come on, everyone knows that America's greatest cuisine is better with 'Leamington insulin'.

Word of the day: Smegma. I have lived a sheltered life.

Also,PPT, thanks for the Chicago info. I have yet to see a game in Wrigley but it's on my bucket list. Now I'll know what not to order.
