I'm putting this in GD because well.. I hate the politics board and it's quite funny to me. Perhaps it should even go into nonsense.
Sean Hannity seems to take offense to Obama ordering mustard on his burger instead of ketchup.. add that it was a Dujon mustard and he's just a terrible person and can't believe that anyone that does that would be elected president.

Oh hi, everyone! Are we still doing that election year thing, where if a politician consumes anything other than box wine, Busch, and self-killed moose meat, it means they are elitist? Apparently, this is the case, and so, the national nightmare for arugula -- which would probably be better off if it were referred to as "rocket" like the Brits do -- continues.
As you know, President Obama and Vice President Biden made a historic trip to an Arlington, VA hamburger joint, to celebrate the "stress tests" or something, bringing the entire press corps in tow. Well, it took all of Sean Hannity's brain power to come up with a joke about it, but he finally decided to make fun of the fact that Obama wanted a "spicy" or "Dijon" mustard on his cheeseburger, just like the undead Nikita Khruschev prefers.
Of course, I could harp on the fact that Grey Poupon is actually a pretty inexpensive condiment, a bottle of which I have right now in my palatial 800-square-foot apartment manor, but that's really beside the point. If you really want to dig down into the elitism of the outing, consider this - as Washingtonian points out, at Ray's Hell Burgers, "You can order the patties simply grilled, with a chipotle-spiked 'diablo' marinade, blackened Cajun-style, or au poivre with a black-peppercorn crust." Fancy! And if Obama had really wanted to strut his elite tastes, he could have opted to add any number of artisanal cheeses, like Dutch mustard seed Gouda, Queen Anne Stilton, or a cave-aged Amish cheddar. See! If Hannity had done some research, he could have really unleashed an epic, idiot barrage over fancy foodstuffs.
Of course, the burgers start at $7, because restauranteur Michael Landrum seems to think that quality food should be made affordable. Enjoying the burgers are well within reach of multimillionaire infotainer toffs like Sean Hannity. Anyway, Dijon mustard: normal people eat it, you can get it at fracking Au Bon Pain, for Pete's sake, so, enough. Okay? Enough. And thus endeth Eat The Press' brief foray into Zagats' territory.
UPDATES:
Here's Mark Steyn, subbing for Rush Limbaugh, saying, "John Kerry couldn't get away with that stuff but he makes it seem like just like a regular thing to do." Awesome, Mark! A John Kerry joke! Wow. Tell us more about your exciting trip back in time to the magical world of 2004!

Hannity Attacks Obama For Putting Mustard On His Burger [UPDATED]
isn't the President Poupon heading brilliant? Who would have thought such subtle potty humor existed at Faux News.
In the link, Mark Steyn fills in for Limbaugh and wonders "what kind of man orders mustard on a burger and not ketchup"
The same for Laura Ingram.
Perhaps these people have never been to Chicago.. or they've never grown up. I don't eat ketchup on anything. I use mustard. Ketchup isn't bad, I just prefer mustard.
All I know is that Obama must be doing something right if the only thing the Right Wing Circus has to complain about is what condiments the man puts on a burger. What a sad day for conservatives and journalism in general.
