Hannity Attacks Obama For Putting Mustard On His Burger

[Julius Civitatus]

No joke. This is not coming from The Onion.

Obama is an "elitist" for putting mustard in his burger instead of ketchup.

This is too much!

1. So what am I, then?

I like mustard, catsup, a dab of mayo, and a pickle. And that will do for a veggie burger, a chicken burger or a turkey burger, too!

[Mz Pip]

4. A double elitist!

I wonder what John McCain puts on his burger.

Actually, I don't wonder. I don't really care. :shrug:

[MADem]

20. Burger? Didn't he serve the press chicken and ribs and whatnot?

Why yes, he sure did!!! Now that's some elite eatin'!!

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/03/mccain.bbq/

SEDONA, Arizona (CNN) -- Instead of appealing for votes on the campaign trail, Sen. John McCain spent the weekend playing host at his rustic Arizona home -- and on Sunday members of the traveling press corps were his guests.

It was a news-free zone, and a charm offensive to be sure -- but also a window into the private setting and self-described oasis of the man who may be days away from mathematically clinching the GOP nomination, months after being left for political dead.

McCain greeted reporters as he tended to the grill -- tongs in hand -- on the deck of his ranch house. Clad in a green Maine Maritime Academy baseball hat, white sweat shirt with a photograph of his family on it, faded Levis jeans and New Balance sneakers, the presidential candidate stood over two large, sizzling barbecues, preparing baby back ribs and grilled chicken.

[Crunchy Frog]

37. He wore jeans? Better not tell George Will.

:crazy:

[Lilyeye]

47. That's exactly how I love my burgers. Except I like to add fried onions as well.

Hannity needs to shut the fuck up.

[MADem]

50. Actually, if I have my druthers, I'll throw a slice of raw onion and even tomato and lettuce on

that baby as well. And maybe even finish the cooking of the thing with a slice of elitist swiss cheese slightly melted on top!

[comtec]

51. MMMM I love turkey burgers

but getting ground turkey here is a trick.
it exists, but hard to find and spendy!

Random Q, does burger king still offer chicken patties in place of burger on their whoppers?

[MADem]

55. I'm lucky, I guess.

I have no trouble getting ground chicken, ground turkey, or even premade turkey all white meat turkey burgers. Same deal with turkey and chicken sausage, in assorted spicy flavors. And it's reasonably priced, too.

I haven't been to a BK in eons, to eat, anyway. I may have gotten a beverage there more recently....so I don't know. I do know that in UK at the BK you used to be able to get either Garden Burgers or Veggie Burgers at BK (one was vegetables and mushroom, breaded, and the other was a soyburger).

[comtec]

56. I'v ehad the odd soy or veggie burger

and let me say.. D R Y!
Mohave dessert!
LOTS of katchup needed for those things! LOL

but I'm glad they were always an option. there's no reason to exclude the veggies or the kosher from a nice sandwich!

Here.. um... yeah just do it at home...

there is pork in EVERYTHING here!!!

The hamburgers are half n half most of the time - and don't ask what's in the frikandel (hint it has hooves)

Oh well *raises a croket (REALLY don't ask) to the queen, drinks a heinikin* to the crown!
hee hee i've been well inbuggered =]

[MADem]

57. About the only thing you could do is get a grinder and do your own!

Get a turkey, debone the thing, and run it through the grinder and then freeze it. A bit o' work, but at least you'd have the goods! Same deal with a chicken.

OTOH, if you have a good butcher nearby, you could work a deal with him or her to do the very same thing for ya. It might give 'em ideas--say, people might actually want to BUY this meat, ground!

[comtec]

61. yah probably gonna do that

several good slagers (butchers) so I'll probably end up having to settle with chicken (kip) ground tho:)

[BattyDem]

2. It's elitist to put mustard on hamburgers?

Hmmm ... is it also elitist to put ketchup on hot dogs? :shrug:

Damn! It's getting so hard to keep up with condiment etiquette! :crazy:

[Cha]

10. It's CODE!

For President Obama is going to take over the airwaves and hannity won't have a bullyhorn to spout his stupid shit.

[Sanity Claws]

3. Dijon mustard - that's even worse!

I remember watching the video and thinking to myself, I wonder what the righties are going to say about Obama asking for spicy mustard on his hamburger.
Sure enough, the righties did seize on it. It shows how hard it is find anything seriously wrong with Obama.

[Mz Pip]

6. It's French!

Obama hates America. He uses French mustard.

[hvn_nbr_2]

19. From now on, it's Freedom Mustard!

No more glorification of surrender monkeys who eat cheese that smells like people's feet.

[Arugula Latte]

23. He should use French's brand mustard, 'cuz that's 'Murikin.

:crazy:

[Hieronymus]

18. Me too, as soon as he uttered "spicey mustard" or "Dijon", I knew

he was in trouble. Surprisingly, nothing was said about Biden asking for Swiss cheese.

[ginnyinWI]

49. Candy Crowley thought green tea was elitist.

She had to comment when Kerry asked for it at a restaurant. Green tea. wow.

[louis-t]

5. First time I had Dijon mustard was in

France. OH NOES!11!11!1
:wow:

[Renew Deal]

7. Doen't Wendy's put mustard on Burgers? So does Five Guys

:shrug:

[Lilyeye]

48. They sure do. Sometimes McDonald's puts mustard on them too.

[msanthrope]

63. So does Chili's. I put mustard on/in everything. I guess I'm

a tree-hugging, crystal clutchin', Birkenstock-wearing elitest from the Northeast...

[kestrel91316]

8. I guess that makes me an elitist, too. I put mustard on my burgers AND

my hot dogs. Ketchup belongs on french fries.

Somebody needs to waterboard Hannity RIGHT NOW.

[11 Bravo]

[CBR]

12. I like jalapenos on my burgers - preferably from Five Guys!!

What does this say about me?

[NatBurner]

26. it says you're a Chavez appeasing, porous border supporting hippie

LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT MOONBAT!!!

[Zech Marquis The 2nd]

58. to channel one of the local freepers

Your love of Five Guys makes you one evil ass. 'murikan hating bastard :evilgrin:

And to add insult to injury, I;m going to have lunch at Five Guys today myself :evilgrin: Love those big helping of fries they serve!

[Happyhippychick]

13. ZOMG! He is a communist arugula eating latte drinking Muslin!!!

[TommyO]

14. I guess that makes McDonalds elitist

because they put both mustard and ketchup on their burgers.

[agentS]

62. I was thinking the same thing when this story broke.

Why are they bitching about mustard? I seem to recall the Arch Deluxe having mustard.

[flvegan]

15. IMPEACH HIM NOW!!

:eyes:

[cwcwmack]

16. lol...

it's the whole GREY POUPONNE thing...

I love the stuff.

[polichick]

17. LOL - that's all he's got.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

21. What about mayo AND mustard?

I do mayo, mustard, cheese and lettuce only.

Hannity can go suck an egg.

[KansDem]

22. Fuck you, Hannity! Ketchup at a hamburger joint contains high-fructose corn syrup!

I don't consume HFCS, so I use mustard.

Fuck you, Sean, for insisting the POTUS and I eat HFCS!!! :grr:

[Hieronymus]

29. BTW, have you seen TV commercials promoting high fructose corn syrup?

[KansDem]

33. No, I don't have teevee

I consider it "the other" high-fructose corn syrup.

[MurrayDelph]

24. Hey, I put mayonnaise on my bacon cheeseburgers

When I do this during Passover it's considered 3.5 sins.

[Zen Democrat]

31. I'm born and raised in Texas and mustard is the default condiment on hamburgers.

You have ask to substitute mayonnaise (pronouned MAN-naise) and actually it's Miracle Whip or a similar salad dressing. The only place I hear the term "mayo" used is in a deli.

In Texas an "all the way" hamburger is close to what the Prez ordered, meat, mustard, cheese, lettuce & tomatoes, with the addition of pickles and onions. You have to ask to have what you don't want taken off. The hamburger joint I go to -- and it's a joint -- puts French's mustard on the table and you can request a spicy mustard (because spicy "everything" is popular in Texas), or MAN-naise.

Ketchup? The only people in Texas I know who eat ketchup on a hamburger are little kids. Seriously. Ketchup on a hot dog? You've got to be kidding!

[starroute]

36. Yeah, that's what I found when I googled

http://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/new_york_city/entry/hamburger_with_mustard_and_without_ketchup_cowboy_burger_texas_burger/

Texans traditionally eat hamburgers with mustard or with mayonnaise (or with both), but without ketchup. This is simply called a “hamburger” in Texas, but is sometimes called a “Cowboy Burger” or a “Texas Burger” outside of Texas.

A hamburger with ketchup is sometimes called a “Yankee Burger.” A hamburger with mayonnaise is sometimes called a “Sissy Burger.”

Dirty Martin’s (in Austin since 1926) serves hamburgers with mustard, pickles, onions, and tomatoes, but it is not known when this combination began.

[izzybeans]

32. Hannity would get has a$$ kicked in chicago for such blasphemy.

It'd love to see it.

Dweeb: "Ketchup is for real Americans! I'm a wealy-weal American."

Chicago Dog Vendor: "F U Douchebag." :punch: :whine: :punch: :cry: :punch: :collective laughter "he said ketchup, ha ha ha":

[gkhouston]

34. Somebody wake me when Obama starts putting mustard on his pie.

That would be unusual. Mustard on a burger is nothing to write home about.

[BklynChick]

35. this speaks volumes about the state of the GOP

:rofl:

[Peacetrain]

38. Oh for the love of Mike..this is what they have sunk to..

[ShortnFiery]

39. OMG! Could this scandal get worse? Was the offending dijon mustard ...

"Grey Poupon Parisian?" :wow: :rofl:

The jokes write themselves.

Vive France! ... silly wingnuts.

43. Ahhh -- good find.

However, apparently these transgressions don't count if committed by Republicans. Only Democrats feel the wrath of Hannity's faux outrage.

45. Hey Sean! I just had a burger with MUSTARD on it!!!!!!!!

Suck on that, why don't you?

Fucking asshole.

46. Fast forward: Hannity found dead with needle in arm in gutter with crack whore

52. Ketchup on Cottage Cheese was Nixon's favorite food?

crooks like ketchup!

[SamCooke]

53. Where can I get a burger like that in LA?

[Hepburn]

54. I like 1000 Dressing...

...what the hell does that make me? :shrug:

[eridani]

59. How about putting mayonnaise on french fries?

Dunno if it's elitist or not, but it's really yucky IMO.

[MurrayDelph]

64. I know they do it that way in Europe

tried it once, and as much as I like Mayonnaise, I could not get behind it.

No, french fries need cheddar cheese sauce, sour cream, or ranch dressing.

[Ranting_Wacko]

60. Most fast food joints in Texas have a Texas Cheeseburger...

You know what a Texas Cheeseburger is? A cheeseburger with mustard. Depending on the joint, it may be spicy mustard.

So... is Hannity calling Texas burgers unAmerican?

[Nydari]

65. Now I really want Scotty P's for dinner

Very good burger joint in Dallas. Note that mustard is the default on every burger:
