Missing The Forest For The Mustard Plants

Wingers are just dumb.

MSNBC, Obama's favorite network, reported on Obama's trip with Joe Biden to get a burger. Just two wild and crazy guys out for some red meat. Andrea Mitchell (does she have nothing else to do?) reported that Obama ordered a burger and mustard. Sounds like it had that "real guy kind of quality."

Mitchell even noted that Obama left a $5 tip in the tip jar. But she didn't mention one arugula-like fact, and you couldn't hear it on the MSNBC video because Andrea and her correspondent Kelly O'Donnel (they needed two people to cover this story) were talking so much.

NBC's regular news reported Obama's order as follows: ""I'm going to have a basic cheddar cheese burger, medium well, with mustard," Obama said. "Do you have spicy mustard? I'll take that."

Actually, the quote was "you got a spicy mustard or something like that, or a Dijon mustard, something like that" (at 0.55 of the unedited video below without Mitchell's talkover).

Obama ordered his burger with DIJON MUSTARD! Bet he had to seek John Kerry's counsel on that.

This blogger, William A. Jacobson, has a law degree. He is a tenured law professor. He is blogging about Obama wanting dijon mustard on his hamburger, and how MSNBC is trying to cover up this fact as some sort of proof that the media is in the tank for him, and this is a scandal of some sort. He feels the need to do this as a service to the country by mocking the President's choice of burger condiments as unacceptably metrosexually elitist or something.

Wingers. Are. Stupid.

Also, Zandardad likes dijon mustard too.
