Restaurants First it was arugula. Now it's Dijon mustard!
Posted by Cliff Bostock @cliffbostock on Sat, May 9, 2009 at 2:01 PM
It's hard to believe how desperate media dimwits have become to attack President Obama. Having gone nuts over his mention of arugula during the election campaign, they are now apoplectic over his ordering a hamburger without ketchup, requesting spicy mustard instead. Dijon! You know, like that fancy-schmancy Grey Poupon.
Above, Sean Hannity, a man who probably uses ketchup for a sexual lubricant, discourses on the "scandal." But Hannity was calm compared to Laura Ingraham, who ranted about the mustard in the context of a bromance between the president and his vice-bro, Joe Biden.
Meanwhile, Salon.com's Alex Koppelman has a brief piece on the brouhaha and refers to a fascinating read in the New Yorker by Malcolm Gladwell. It demonstrates that, given a choice, the great majority of people prefer Grey Poupon over America's harsher yellow mustards.
UPDATE: Michelle gets into the act.

Mustard ROCKS! Glad to know he's a mustard man. Wonder if he's ever had it mixed up with grits and a boiled egg? Now that's a tasty breakfast!
. The Left is just keeping this 'Mustard story' alive, the Right had a chuckle and moved on. There are many much more important things to criticize this administration about. The Left doesn't want people focusing on the big stuff, because that's where it's most dangerous to them. The Truth will bring them down, God willing. . absurd thought - God of the Universe says deify your dear leaders they are supernatural with magical qualities . absurd thought - God of the Universe says don't protest tax increases or support states' rights YOU RIGHT-WING EXTREMIST .
