Dijongate

[tiado]

I was flipping through headlines earlier today and came upon this article: www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5jYxI7q_KtbSrZliHuWjPINWfyEQg (I hope the link works)

It seems that the Republicans, Fox News, and most prominently, Sean Hannity, have gone off the deep end over President Obama's choice of condiment for his hamburger. Apparently the severe recession, the seemingly unending war on two fronts, and the devestation caused by the H1N1 virus pale in comparison to the most scandalous trangression that has been perpetrated by the President: Obama uses dijon mustard. Oh NOES!

No, this is not an article from The Onion, I really wish it was though. This just goes to show how off-the-deep-end the right wing has gone in regards to President Obama, and are grasping at any and all possible straws in order to demonize him. Apparently enjoying a lunch with a spicier condiment is now un-American, then again, I guess Obama is nothing more than a secret moostard loovin' mooslim who will bring down the country with a hamburger topping.

I also find it funny that the only real articles I could find on this have been from the Canadian Press, just sayin'.

...Wow.

Just... wow.

Next thing you know, liking spaghetti is going to mean he's in league with the mafia to destroy American values.

Just wait when he orders a falafel.

No, even worse. He's going to order sushi, and it'll be taken as a symbol of him selling the country to Japan in exchange for a PS3 (since the price is otherwise unaffordable).

On the drive down, we stopped at a TGI Friday's and I ordered a cheeseburger. When the waitress brought the food I asked her if she had any Dijon mustard. Dan [legislative aide Dan Shomon] shook his head.

"He doesn't want Dijon," he insisted, waving the waitress off. "Here"—he shoved a yellow bottle of French's mustard in my direction—"here's some mustard right here."

The waitress looked confused. "We got Dijon if you want it," she said to me.

I smiled. "That would be great, thanks." As the waitress walked away, I leaned over to Dan and whispered that I didn't think there were any photographers around.

I'll eat other mustards too.
It's just that Dijon is the only kind they serve at the restaurant I work at.

That's just... hilarious. He should have washed it down with a bottle of Evian or Perrier.
