Is 'Barack n Bones' Obama thin as a rail because he's skipping too many meals to run the country?
This is a British paper.

2. This could be good for John McCain
I mean, by being so thin and healthy it might show Obama to be "out of touch" with those critical working class white voters.

Because working class white people are just the salt of the Earth who should be worshiped and catered to in all things.

4. Jeebus, this is proof that the U.K. is just as fucked up as the U.S.
when it comes to weight and perception of health! Only in nations like this could someone at an ideal weight be attacked for looking "sickly"!

6. Typical British bullshit
Brits would scrape dogshit off a discarded candy wrapper to have something to read with their tea. Must be nice to be a newspaper publisher in Britain; Lewis Carroll proved long ago that you don't even have to make sense to catch the attention of readers there:

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
