      I think it's official... the Republican Party has filed Intellectual Chapter 11. They lost Joe the Plumber today, too... how will they go on?

          I keep hoping that the Troglodytes will get so frustrated that they peel off and start their own party.

          What a joyous day that would be!

        Sadly even these idiots can have their collective intelligence raised by losing Joe the Effing Plumber.

      By the way... I don't put ketchup on my Cheeseburger either. I prefer Mayo.

      Is condiment choice really an indication of manhood? Really?

      Karl Rove must be busy... this talking sounds like it came from one of his interns.

        Why isn't she criticizing the restaurant for offering Dijon mustard?

        What I love about this stupidity is that maybe 50 years ago Dijon mustard might have been a sissy un-American elitist thing, but where has Ingraham been since then? Even their cliches are ancient.

      Really? Is this what it has come to. So what if he wants mustard only on his burger. Atleast President Obama dosen't have one on one conversations with God, like our last president. Now thats strange!

          Actually I like ketchup and mustard on a cheeseburger.

          Who cares? Personal taste is just that. Elvis loved fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches, and I've never seen anyone questioning what kind of man that made him.

          The answer, of course, would be "fat".

      I notice that when there's nothing else to say about someone most people resort to condiments. NOT. Let's see what kind of people use mustard on their hamburgers, oh yeah, all of freaking the state of Texas! It's a standard on all burgers served at Texas chain Whataburger. So, technically you've insulted the entire state of Texas. Nice job. Thank you. I can only wish this was enough to change the tides of Texas voters. One can dream.

      Ya I agree with this Ingraham girl, Obama's disrespecting American values, but I'm not surprised he disrespected the Irish, seeing as from reading a newspaper here, when he was given a bowl of shamrock on St. Patricks Day, guess what? His Secret Service supposedly got rid of the gift, what an outrage!, oh the Irish people are livid over that!

      In case you cant tell thats sarcasm :)

      Nice to see the American media have their priorities in check, and I'm including Ingraham, Hannity and fox news as well as the media that covered this "news" in the first place. I'd expect better to be honest.

      Did anyone see the footage of Obama and Biden getting their burgers? After watching I realized Obama has to be on his toes all the time because of this nonsense. The restaurant was going to pay for their burgers and Obama insisted he and Biden pay their own way and pointed to the assembled press and said something like "otherwise all these people will write how I freeloaded" or something similar
      And as an aside, I'm a little saddened that there is even footage of the Prez & VP getting burgers for cryin' out loud. I mean, this is news?

      Ketchup on a burger? My 10 year old nephew likes ketchup on his burger. I got gay and French dijon mustard on my subway sandwich today.

      Could it be they are really so out of touch they don't realize dijon mustard costs a buck fifty @ the local super wal-mart and it's not some strange thing? The whole thing is hilariously sad.

      What wussy burgers are you guys eating that require all of this nonsense? You can have your mustard, mayo, ketchup and all that other stuff. Lettuce, tomato, onion... are you kidding me?

      MEAT, CHEESE, AND BUN. BLOOD RARE! You want to throw some BACON on there, be my guest. From time to time I might throw on a large portabella mushroom cap, but that's it.

      Just a few blocks from here is a burger place that would put hair on anyone's chest. Beef? Kobe you say? For little old ladies at tea parties. We're talkin' buffalo here baby! Bear, ostrich, emu, alligator, wild boar, deer, moose, elk. It's a carnivore paradise.

      I'm so glad this is what exists to complain about regarding the current administration!

      - Dijon mustard!
      - arugula! (what do they have against food?)
      - $500 sneakers!
      - cinco de cuatro! get it? get it?

      Nice fluffy stuff. So much more fun compared to the last:

      - torture!
      - lies to get us into war!
      - behind the scenes puppetmaster!
      - warrantless wiretapping!
      - no bid billion dollar military contract cronyism!
      - Halliburton massacre!
      - KBR electrocuting soldiers!

      And that's just off the top of my head.

      It's spring. The worst they have to complain about is mustard. Things are good.
