dijon-gate hysteria
By American Girl in Italy on May 8, 2009 at 4:45 PM in Barack Obama, MSNBC, Sara in Italy
Which scenario is more ridiculous:
Conservative pundits mock, laugh and poke fun at the Dijon Mustard Gate story…
The Liberal left is in an uproar because the Right poked fun at the Dijon-Gate…
Media Matters: Dijon Derangement Syndrome: Conservative media attack Obama for burger order
Huffington Post: Hannity Attacks Obama For Putting Mustard On His Burger
Crooks and Liars: Latest right-wing-lunatic smear about Obama: Dijongate
Or that the media REPORTED this in the first place???
Riveting reporting brought to you by Andrea Mitchell. (I wonder if she will win the excellence in media award that Couric won this year?)

“Just ordinary diners?” Does Matt mean the peasants? The commoners?
It’s got that “real guy” quality to it? Why, because Obama isn’t a real guy?
MSNBC was inside the burger joint, with cameras rolling, before Biden and Obama walked in. It was a *Breaking news story* on msnbc. I don’t know about you, but in my opinion, it deserved a little mocking.
Judging by the reaction of HuffPo, Media Matters, and others, it is apparent indeed, *Thou Shall Not Mock Obama’s Mustard*.
Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion (reportedly the first to cover this) wrote about the burger joint appearance, as a joke, and pointed out how msnbc originally left off the part where Obama ordered Dijon.
He was attacked by Obots. And was then surprised at the viciousness. (where’s he been?)
Perhaps that is why late night comedians are hesitant to poke fun at Obama?
It’s not that there isn’t plenty of material….
UPDATE: After writing this, I saw this from the Daily Show. Glad to see someone pointing out the silliness.
