If that's all they've got, Obama's doing great.
2
I'm so glad it's your job to wade through all that crazy stuff, and not mine.
3
What a douchenozzle.

Yellow mustard is for hotdogs. Anyone who has a palate would want a spicy mustard for ground beef. Note that Biden had ketchup with his, which is also a perfectly reasonable choice, especially for the elderly.
5
note that his choices, in order of preference, were:

1. "spicy" mustard (guldens, which is amurkin)
2. dijon (and he didn't request grey poupon).

are there still americans who think that dijon is effete?

6
I am willing to say that I am apparently a tad slow, and need someone to explain to me why dijon mustard is bad? Umm cause I for one like dijon mustard and am confused. Is this like that freedom fires crap? I dont get it...
7
Burger with no ketchup is a little weird, but I'll grant the guy his gustatory idiosyncrasies. Jesus, these people are grasping at straws made of nothing.
8
OMG he's a socialistforrealz111!!!!!1111!!! dijon is a french word!!!!
9
Sigh. I am appparently more then a "tad slow" I ment Freedom Fries, as opposed to freedom fires which I would imagine are a part of a totally different revolution type activity... sorry.
10
The vendors outside Safeco offer spicy mustard on their hot dogs. It hasn't been a snobby thing since the '80s.
11
Uh, spicy mustard isn't some sort of delicacy. We have it sitting in our fridge at the coffee shop I work at. And we only offer two kinds of sandwiches. So, uh, whatever Sean Hannity. You can probably even buy it at whatever fancy grocery store you shop at.
12
what DID he put on his amurkin fries ?...prolly mayonnaise..
13
Please, you can get Grey Poupon on a ballpark hot dog. They package it in little plastic packets, just like any other common condiment.
14
I BET HE READ HIS ORDER OFF A TELEPROMPTER!!!11!11!! Seriously, do these conservative losers only eat white bread and Kraft Singles, or something? I bet Michelle Malkin's kids are all suffering from malnutrition.
15
See I always had a feeling that I wasn't a real American for enjoying dijon mustard.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions, fox news.

Time to embrace my fake-Americanism and possible get that burger with avacoda on it too.
16
He did crank down the window of his rolls royce and use his white-gloved librul fascist hand to hand his own jar of grey poupon to the cashier at the window to be applied to his burger, right? JERK.
17
Amen! LOL
18
Putting mustard of any kind on a hamburger is tantamount to treason. Mustard belongs on hot dogs, ketchup on hamburgers. But the wingnuts are apparently treating this as a case of latent Frenchism, since it's Dijon mustard. That is a new low for them.
19
wow, avocado*

Maybe I AM American after all.
20
@18 if people start putting mustard on hamburgers, whats to keep us from allowing MAN ON DOG SECKS?!?
21
Batshit. INSANE.
22
I think it's a little odd to put spicy mustard/Dijon on a burger. But it's even more odd that Hannity thinks there's something wrong with Dijon in general. Because behind closed doors, Hannity probably appreciates good food and almost certainly has Dijon in his own fridge. I mean, the guy's rich. It's a given that he knows his way around the finer things in the culinary world, eats out at fancy restaurants, etc.

But he's such an opportunistic, lying, douchebag hypocrite culture warrior shithead that he pretends to be some kind of beer-drinkin' good 'ole boy who don't know the first danged thing about that there fancy mustard. He has no integrity or scruples, he's just a gaseous lump of human waste.
23
BTW, mayonnaise is a french word, too.
24
I put thousand island on a turkey sandwich last night. FUCK YOU, WORLD.
25
@19 - i like the way you spelled it the first time better ... you can hear the (true american) drawl in your spelling. avacoda. awva-cawda. hear it? i like it.
26
Are the Republicans aware that Obama breathes oxygen? If not someone should tell them so they can all stop breathing.
27
Medium well !?!?!? What the fuck is wrong with Obama?
28
It comes in squeeze bottles. Once it comes in squeeze bottles, you can no longer frame it as any kind of elite condiment. Does Hannity only eat macaroni-and-(american)cheese every night?

Any chance we can get reports on where/what Hannity is eating? Cause the second he touches something with hollandaise, it's over.
29
The real controversy here is Obama's conflation of spicy and Dijon mustards. As if they are equally desirable. Pshh. Everyone knows spicy brown is the superior mustard.

For this outrage, I shall be casting my vote for Nader in 2012.
30
I didn't believe the link was true (it read too much like an Onion-style parody) but clicking around the rest of the site, the whole thing is definitely ultra-conservative (I read the article on Joe the Plumber for proof).

This whole thing makes me sad. Is this why the Republican party is becoming irrelevant? Because they focus on things that are completely irrelevant?
31
@20, that's how bad it's gotten in this country. Man on dog is EVERYWHERE now. I'm drilling the schnauzer as I type this!
32
Teleprompters. Birth certificates. Middle names. Mustard choices.

Wow... how the once mighty have fallen.
33
French > French's
34
Spicy = "manly" in the minds of most idiots. Why not here?
35
They wanted the guy who has seven houses in office, but they go batshit when Obama orders "fancy mustard."

You could cut the hypocrisy with a knife.

On a side note, he did order it like he was stumbling through a difficult debate question, which made me say, "does he always talk like that?"
36
Ok so a plain cheeseburger with mustard- hold the ketchup- is "fancy"? What kind of public school cheeseboardburgers is this asshole used to? What, is everyone supposed to have the palate of a 3rd grade stu-, uh, I mean, a republican?
37
@24: I love you.
38
Let's not underestimate the mustard's possible symbolic wry wink at the humiliating French defeat at Puebla, cinco de Mayo, 1862. It may well be a sly chortle and nod from Obama to our neighbor to the south -- a neighbor who could use a little laugh right now.
39
thank god he didn't order relish. RELISH!!!
40
@18 - Fnarf, I tire of your strict constructionist condimentism. Surely there is room in this world for the occasional dollop of mustard on a well-dressed hamburger. But yeah, I'm kind of skeeved out that he didn't use any ketchup.
41
At least he didn't order a hot dog with ketchup. Now that's REALLY fucked up.
42
ohhh mfg. If this is all he's got to bitch about, I should feel better, but the very fact that this is something to mock makes me both sad for Hannity and gives me a burning desire for *headdesk*.

Dude, it's fucking Dijon in a squeezy bottle. You guys stopped knocking "latte liberals" after you all realized that the coffee stands you stopped to order your caramel-white-chocolate-with-whip mochas came from the latte liberals you mocked so desperately. Mocking Dijon makes it sound like it's the early 80s or something.
43
Thanks for that, Sean .. you non-contributing zero!!
44
Why do the America-hating Talibangelists hate our spicy mustard so?

Were they dropped on their heads as children?
45
@27 Actually, raw meat in any form is a threat to national security...i'm sure Obama would choose otherwise if he could
46
@41. He's from Chicago... if he ever orders a hot dog with ketchup, he wouldn't be able to show his face there again. Chicagoans don't mess around with their hot dog condiments.
47
Shit, spicy (AKA "brown") mustard has been a staple at Amerkin ballparks for decades - ala Cleveland's Bertman's, or Guilden's, which I've seen at Shea and Anaheim, and probably a couple others, although I can't recall exactly.

And anyone who thinks it's really THAT spicy needs to slather a little of this shit on their next hunk of grilled beast.

48
These comments from a town who falls over itself to line up at the frequently-shut-down-by-the-health-department bourgeois roach coach to the stars, Skillet, to enjoy the following on their 'burger': cambazola, arugula, bacon jam, on GD brioche!

That might make poor Hannity's head explode, if he wasn't eating the same shit at the Continental Airlines lounge every time he boards a flight to hell.
49
I think the larger issue is being missed. He's eating a HAMBURGER. I say if you want to eat like you're in Hamburg, go back to Germany, eurotrash! Between the German sandwich and the French mustard, it's obvious the guy is drafting papers for our membership in the EU.
50
Why is Barack Obama giving aid and comfort to our enemies by supporting un-American condiments?
51
I'm surprised the wingnuts aren't pissed about his choice of cheese. It should've been American. Cheddar is Al Qaeda's favorite.
52
Hannity seems to be trying very hard to out-crazy Glenn Beck these days. How long before he starts crying on cue I wonder?
53
@49 - sometimes, when you want a hamburger, you eat a hamburger. Deal with it.
54
Obama should eat baloney on wonder bread.
55
The right is so ridiculous! I can't get over it. They've made fun of him for being black and now they're making fun of him because he's too white. I just don't get it.
56
@Max Solomon - but baconaise is 100% AMERICAN!
57
@56 And it's a Seattle institution. My roommate's company makes the labels.
58

*Bacon (not with guacamole)
*Lettuce (leaf, diced, chopped, etc.)
*Tomato (sliced)
*Pickle (sweet or dill, slices or rounds)

59
Well, clearly Mr. Hannity only ever eats, raw, ungarnished haunches of beef.

You think this is bad, you should've seen his "Al Gore has to have his mamby-pamby salt or he doesn't know what to do! Hope you enjoyed your fancy 'hard boiled egg' there, you bourgeois windsurfer!" back in 2000.
60
STOPZ eatin tEH Korpzez!!!!111!!
61
@48:

Speaking as someone who has eaten at real, honest-to-goodness, on-set craft services roach coaches, I have to say Skillet, despite whatever Health Dept. issues they may or may not have experienced, still dishes up damned tasty fare that would compare favorably with anything that's served "to the stars".

And really, if you can't handle a bug or two in your tortilla and bean soup, you really shouldn't be eating in any sort of public establishment, just sayin'.

Mmmmmm, baaaaaacon-jaaaaaaam...!
62
In all fairness, Hannity uses ketchup exclusively when he sucks ass.
63
Personally, I think the wingnuts would only be happy if he was eating fried chicken and grits and watermelon. Their Deep-South base of mouthbreathers never eat those foods, right?

Every criticism from these nutbags is just them desperately grasping at anything because they can't call him the one name they so badly want to use. Even the knuckledraggers can't get away with it anymore. You can call a gay person a queer or a woman a bitch, but *that* word is off-limits even to the likes of a Mikey Weiner.
64
I just assume that all soft, gooey, and eager to surrender (to my palate) food is French in origin.
65
...and mustard of course, only mustard, when he eats shit.
66
TOTALLY NOT VEGAN!!!
67
Are Mahlit and I really the only ones who are outraged by the fact that he ordered the burger cooked wrong? Never mind the condiments, if he can't eat a burger medium rare or bloodier, He's not MY President.
68
@67 - Totally agree! It will be a sad day if there is ever a video of him ordering a steak cooked beyond medium-rare. I might cry if he ordered a steak mid-well and put steak sauce on it.

Please wait...
