Rush Limbaugh Responds To Colin Powell's Obama Endorsement- Laments Lack of Endorsement for "ineperienced, very liberal white candidates"

Well since we were already breaking the "NO posting on weekends" rule around here with our previous posts of the SNL skit where a moose bites the dust and putting up video of Colin Powell's endorsement of Barack Obama, I thought I would throw this out there for those of you who for some reason are reading and commenting on this blog on Sunday. Here is Rush Limbaugh's response to Colin Powell's Obama endorsement. From Politico.

"Secretary Powell says his endorsement is not about race," Limbaugh wrote in an e-mail. "OK, fine. I am now researching his past endorsements to see if I can find all the inexperienced, very liberal, white candidates he has endorsed. I'll let you know what I come up with." As for Powell's statement of concern this morning about the sort of Supreme Court justices a President McCain might appoint, Limbaugh wrote: "I was also unaware of his dislike for John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy and Antonin Scalia. I guess he also regrets Reagan and Bush making him a four-star [general] and secretary of state and appointing his son to head the FCC. Yes, let's hear it for transformational figures."Politico

Perhaps Michelle Should Have Ordered Chicken Fingers and a Box of Wine

I cross posted this over at Michelle Obama Watch So talk radio was all abuzz today because some employee at the Waldorf Astoria hotel claims that MIchelle Obama ordered two lobsters and a bottle of champagne.

While he was at a meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Michelle Obama called room service and ordered lobster hors d'oeuvres, two whole steamed lobsters, Iranian caviar and champagne, a tipster told Page Six.

I first saw this story over at Sandra Rose, my heart fell when I read the title: Obama Mocks Himself While Michelle Got Tipsy. But then I read the post and just had to shake my head.

I guess it’s safe to say the children weren’t with her while she got tipsy.Sandra Rose

Why Sandra WHY??? Sandra Rose wasn't alone. Rush Limbaugh got in on the action:

Obama wrote in that book what passages of Reverend Wright's sermon, Audacity to Hope, most inspired him, and this is one of them. "It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks' greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere…That's the world! On which hope sits!" And so while he's lamenting all the food that cruise ships throw overboard and all the apartheid that was out there, here's his wife ordering all this stuff. It's hypocrisy. Rush Limbaugh

First, I highly doubt that Michelle Obama personally picked up the phone to order room service personally. How do we know the order was for her. Second, even if she did order 2 lobsters and champagne, I doubt that the Waldorf Estoria has chicken fingers on the menu. I doubt that they run a lunch special. Third, I highly doubt she drank the whole bottle herself. Last but not least, the Obamas are not broke and occasionally I like to drop by Red Lobster and enjoy some rubbery lobster with coconut shrimp and that delightful pineapple dipping sauce. COME ON! It was a white tie event at the Waldorf Astoria not the La Quinta. If I get all dressed up to go out, I am not picking up an extra value meal. UPDATE: You can check out the menu at the Waldorf Astoria yourself. I was curious and looked it up. They offer a lobster burger. Why the heck would you do that to lobster? UPDATE: THE NY POST STORY IS NOW MISSING--DID THEY PRINT A RETRACTION?
