And you wonder why no one besides serious conservatives or people looking for laughs actually listens to Fox News and their ilk.

From Media Matters.org

[quote name='MediaMatters']Following President Obama's May 5 visit to Ray's Hell Burger in Arlington, Virginia, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, and Rush Limbaugh Show guest host Mark Steyn criticized Obama as an elitist because he ordered a burger with "spicy mustard" or "Dijon mustard." Hannity claimed that Obama ordered a "fancy burger" with a "very special condiment," while Steyn asserted Obama is trying "to enlighten us" through his order. Ingraham asked of Obama: "What kind of man orders a cheeseburger without ketchup but Dijon mustard? ... The guy orders a cheeseburger without ketchup? What is that?" In their discussions of Obama's burger order, Hannity, Ingraham, and Steyn all referenced a Grey Poupon commercial featuring actors portraying wealthy British men expressing desire for the mustard.

...snip...

During the May 6 edition of her radio show, Ingraham said of Obama: "I don't even like the way the man orders a hamburger. ... What kind of man orders a cheeseburger without ketchup but Dijon mustard?" She later added of Obama: "See, he was trying to do this whole thing with Biden -- 'We're like the regular people, we're like every other guy, you know, with our -- on our lunch break, we're going to go grab a burger, two guys, two bros.' " Like Hannity, Ingraham played a clip from a Grey Poupon commercial in which an actor asked, "Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?" Ingraham then remarked: "That would have been more appropriate." [/quote]

Fair and balanced my Grey Poupon!

To be fair, MSNBC and CNN did spend a lot of time making fun of Sarah Palin and her infamous "Give an interview while a turkey is having it's blood drained in the background." Personally, I find that comical as Palin's staff didn't have the foresight to understand stagecraft and the potential hilarity that could ensue. Fox, meanwhile, tries to make President Obama look like an elitist (a title that has no sticking power besides although already so inclined) and questions his sexuality.

Keep it coming, Fox -- you really make my day when I need a laugh. :applause::applause::applause:
 
LOL Republicans really are finished. Seriously - all the crap that's going on and the worst they can sling at him is his choice of condiment? The
Republican party had a pretty good run but it's almost over, they should just step down and make way for a real challenge to the Democrats.
 
BTW I've been to that burger joint a few times, it may look like a hole in the wall but the burgers are made from prime cut, hand-ground beef right in front of you, and served with artisan cheeses, applewood smoked bacon, organic mushrooms, etc etc

Shhhh ;)

Hahaha, I thought the bit on Colbert about Hannity's liberty tree was better though.

The apple crate of socialism!!!

That dude is seriously messed up (and Glenn Beck, and everybody on "Fox & Friends" I'm sure they have a few decent people on the network though, they just don't get as much airtime...).
 
lol


now that i generally approve of what the fed govt is doing i don't care as much.. when i disagreed, i cared, media bias bothered the hell out of me.. but i no longer mind. it's just funny now. let em be biased, i don't mind.

i wonder if this is how bush supporters felt about us libs whining about his administration..

My gourmet steak recipe:

Ingredients:
Frozen Steak
Ketchup
Salt and Pepper (optional)

Directions: Heat steak until cooked. Top generously with ketchup, add salt and pepper to taste.

And that's why I have my own Food Network show.
 
Not to be confused with my current Food Network program, where I show people how to properly microwave Hormel "Compleats" without burning the edges.

I would like to say that that was the second most nonsensical thing I have ever seen on television. But it was just wrong on so many different levels (at least four by my county) that I don't think I can make that claim. That was quite possibly the most batshit fucking weird/stupid/insane thing I have ever seen on television. Glenn Beck? Hah. That time I woke up half way through ExistenZ? Nope! An' I don't think that that'll change unless/until the Time Cube guy gets his own show.

I loved how he had a root for both liberty and freedom. It's like, does he not know that they're synonyms? Or does he have some weird definition that he likes to use for himself? And aren't the apples supposed to fall off the tree? Isn't that how we get apples?

It already made my head hurt, but then the crate of socialism, man that was just the icing on the cake. Wow...just...wow. Was it an intentional joke? I mean really, sometimes I think they're supposed to be jokes, but I just can't tell or something....

Hannity is pretty batshit insane. I'm still fond of the phrase he coined last year - "America is the greatest best country God has ever given man on the face of this earth."

I am a registered Republican and I would like to say i'd like to see Fox News (stating that they report news is a fallacy), Oprah and Dr. Phil off the air. Once that trio is off the airwaves we can get back to programming that would make you think (somewhat).
 
Hey now. When the conservatives are right, they're right: ketchup is the condiment of choice for *real* Americans.

camoor, that sounds like a very elitist burger joint. Real 'mericans only eat McDonalds.

Fox News is great for laughs. My other favorite was when they criticized the Prez for not making his Prayer Day public. Isn't prayer supposed to be a private chat with God? Aren't we supposed to sit and relect and not have to worry about sound bites, polls, and the cratering economy? It's like they're just name-sake Christians that go to church because all conservatives have to go. They have no idea what's going on or why they do certain things but the spread afterwards is decent and there's a mean guitar solo after Come All Ye Faithful.
 
im not surprised to hear this stuff from those guys. but i am surprised to hear it from mark steyn, i thought he was a pretty sharp guy. edit, actually after reading steyns actual comments it sounds just hes just joking.
