Diversity for Thee, But Not for We

A tip of the hat to Legal Insurrection for pointing out this article by Michelle Malkin.

Host Chris Matthews and his guests on MSNBC were bashing Sarah Palin and her "all-white" followers. The left loves to play the race card.

By the way, have you ever noticed that on MSNBC, all the talking heads and over 90% of the guests are .... white?

Just sort of makes a tingle run up and down your leg, doesn't it?

Obama: Jessica Simpson is Fat

Apparently, President Barack Obama thought that Jessica Simpson's weight was something he needed to make fun of during his pre-Super Bowl interview with Matt Lauer on NBC Sunday. Seriously. Obama called Jessica Simpson a fatty on national TV.

Lauer displayed for the audience the cover of a recent issue of the tabloid entertainment magazine US Weekly that featured the President's wife and daughters and also had an insert photo pushing a story about singer Simpson.

As he viewed the cover, Obama decided to smack the singer down for "in a weight battle."

MSNBC Transcript

Lauer: Yeah, well -- let -- let me show you. This is the -- the current issue of -- of Us Weekly.

Obama: Right.

Lauer: And here’s a great picture

Obama: Oh, it’s beautiful.

Lauer: -- of -- of you and -- and Michelle and -- and your daughters. Now, the -- the reason I bring this up I think is funny. It’s a great picture.

Obama: Yeah.

Lauer: But I wanna show you the cover. Look what they did. They -- they took you off the cover.

Obama: Yeah.

Lauer: They took you out of it.

Obama: It -- it’s -- it’s a little hurtful.

Lauer: You got replaced by Jessica Simpson.

Obama: Yeah, who’s in a weight battle apparently. (LAUGHTER) Yeah. Oh, well.

Now, let's think about this incident a bit, shall we?

It seems a bit low of the President of the United States to so offhandedly slam a mere entertainer, doesn't it? Is this something that a good politician would do? What did Simpson ever do to Obama?

Lastly, let us imagine the hue and cry that would have been raised if George W. Bush had on national TV slammed a singer for being fat? Would the moonbats of the left have ignored that? Wouldn't the rest of the media have gone nuts reporting the story if it should have been Bush instead of Obama that called someone like Jessica Simpson fat?
