Paula Deen vs. Moochelle"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH:  There\u2019s a food fight going on out there, ladies and gentlemen, a huge food fight.  It\u2019s between Paula Deen and Moochelle Obama.  You know who Paula Deen is?  Oh, come on, you know Paula Deen, Paula Deen\u2019s got this great southern cooking restaurant, Savannah.  She\u2019s on the cooking network, Food Network or some such thing?  Anyway, Moochelle is livid because Paula Deen called her out on what she eats.  Oh, yeah.  And it\u2019s a no greater a source than the National Enquirer. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;First lady [Moochelle] Obama fuming as Paula Deen dishes on her unhealthy eating habits despite new book &#8216;American  Grown\u2019 PR blitz! [Moochelle] Obama is now furious with Southern cooking queen Paula Deen for crowing that the first lady, a healthy eating advocate who\u00c2\u2019s waging a war against childhood obesity, pigs out on fattening foods. While plugging her new book, &#8216;Paula Deen\u00c2\u2019s Southern Cooking Bible,\u2019 the feisty TV chef took a pot shot at Michelle for gorging herself on greasy French fries, fatty hot chicken wings and sugary deep fried Snickers bars!&#8221;  Deep fried Snickers bars?  Have you ever had a deep fried Snickers bar?  You\u2019ve heard about it?  I have never had a deep fried Snickers bar.  I\u2019ve heard of a deep fried Twinkie.  Have you ever looked at the expiration date on a Twinkie?  They outlast cockroaches.  A Twinkie would outlast a nuclear blast.  You could have a Twinkie on the shelf for 35,000 years. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_55551\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/MichelleObamaPaulaDeen.jpg\"\/><BR\/>At any rate, I sidetrack myself.  &#8220;&#8216;Michelle\u00c2\u2019s spitting mad,\u2019 a source told The Enquirer. &#8216;She thinks Paula is trying to smear her and her family just as the 2012 presidential election race swings into gear.\u2019  The trouble first began before Barack Obama was even elected president in 2008, when Michelle made a guest appearance on Deen\u00c2\u2019s popular &#8216;Paula\u00c2\u2019s Party\u2019 show and revealed that fried shrimp was her family\u00c2\u2019s favorite meal.  Then in an interview af\u00c2\u00adter filming the program, Paula quipped that Michelle would be serving high-fat, greasy and sugary foods in the White House if Obama won the election! <\/line><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now Paula is rehashing those attacks on Michelle in an attempt to plug her latest cookbook and offset Michelle\u2019s new book about eating healthy, noted the source. &#8216;She\u00c2\u2019s no different than the rest of us,\u2019 Paula said about Michelle in a new interview. Paula added: &#8216;She probably ate more than any other guest I ever had on the show! She kept eating even during commercials. Know what (the Obamas\u00c2\u2019) favorite foods are? Hot wings. Y\u00c2\u2019know &#8211; those kinds of foods that aren\u00c2\u2019t necessarily top-of-the-list healthy foods.\u2019  &#8216;Michelle now deeply regrets ever being on Paula\u00c2\u2019s show,\u2019 added the source. &#8216;There are a lot of digs she would have been able to brush off, but portraying her as a high-calorie gorger during her crusade for healthy eating is crossing the line.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So there\u2019s a little food fight going on.  Now, I read all of this and nowhere do I see Moochelle getting around to denying what Paula Deen is saying.  All Moochelle\u2019s upset about is that Paula Deen is saying it.  But Moochelle\u2019s not denying liking all that food.  She\u2019s just mad that Paula Deen\u2019s saying so.  But of course with the Obamas telling the truth, that\u2019s crossing the line.  Remember what Maureen Dowd did when she talked about Obama\u2019s big ears.  That was a no-no. <\/p>\n<p>But let me get serious here for just a second.  By what measure or standard is Michelle Obama qualified on these subjects? (interruption) So?  So she\u2019s first lady.  That means she\u2019s qualified to tell everybody else how to eat, what to eat, when to eat, and where to eat?  And not just food advice.  Moochelle is now giving parenting advice.  What makes her think most parents in this country need lectures from her about parenting?  I mean the arrogance of these people, folks, it is just astounding.  And she\u2019s cheered for what she\u2019s doing.  She cares, it\u2019s just a wonderful project the first lady has.  She\u2019s got her garden and she\u2019s urging healthy eating.  Maybe she should talk to her husband about the poor example he\u2019s setting for children in this country by not taking responsibility for his own mistakes.  He\u2019s acting like a whimpering little child every time he goes someplace, (imitating Obama) &#8220;Bush did it, worse than I knew it was gonna be when I got here, predecessor did it.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Maybe she ought to be warning America\u2019s kids, &#8220;Hey, be careful of my husband, he lies repeatedly, he blames and makes up stories about other people, like Republicans.&#8221;  I think Moochelle Obama would be better off writing about the lavish lifestyle of Martha\u2019s Vineyard than she would be writing about healthy eating.  Now, that she\u2019s an expert in, or maybe culinary delights while on a five-day vacation in Spain, or maybe write a book how you take your own Air Force jet three hours before your husband flies Air Force One to go to the same place because you don\u2019t want to fly within that day for some reason.  Maybe you write a book on all the designer clothes that you are praised for setting new fashion standards by wearing.  She knows a great deal about that.  Okay, but we\u2019re supposed to take eating advice?  Why should we take eating advice from Bloomberg?  It\u2019s no different.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: There\u2019s a food fight going on out there, ladies and gentlemen, a huge food fight.
