Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot
Al Franken said it back in the 90’s, and it’s just as true today, w/respect to his comments on Michelle Obama: LIMBAUGH: I’m sure you’re aware that nutritionist-at-large Michelle Obama is urging, demanding, advocating, requiring what everybody can and can’t eat.

Her 60 meter time – 29.86 seconds – was a new world record for her age class: 95-and-up. Ida Keeling is 4-6 and 83 pounds, and does her running on size 51/2 feet.
