MSNBC Not Only Gushingly Covers Obama's *Lunch Order* (He's So Human! He Eats Hamburgers!), but They Cover Up His Order of Dijon Mustard Jeebus. If you're going to cover Obama's burger-run, cover it. At least do the stupid task you've lowered yourself to performing. Do not attempt to revise the idiotic story by omitting his mention of "Dijon mustard" just because that would conflict with the narrative that he's a Regular Joe, only super-brilliant and with pecs carved from malachite. Incidentally, the media's condescension is on display here; I'm pretty sure Dijon mustard ...

The Sundries Shack —
... be released by the transparent Obama White House. Not really classified as in “top secret” classified. But classified as in those are going in the file cabinet. I don’t know about the rest of you, but we paid close to 400 grand for those photographs. I want them. You know, in case some Congressman or someone important like that comes to visit. Speaking of transparency, isn’t it nice to have a press corps that automatically airbrushes away such embarrassing stuff as our President trying to get some Dijon Mustard for his greasy-spoon cheeseburger . Oh yeah. He’s a man of the ...

The comments, though, are the best part. For instance, comparing feminists to abortion clinic bombers. Or comparing waterboarding to colonoscopy prep.
And now, number three.
William Jacobson, who joins Ann Althouse as one of the most inexplicably tenured people in America, attacks Obama because he got dijon mustard on his burger yesterday. The idiot brigade is right there ...

Dijongate?
Hot Air » Top Picks —
... about Barack Obama’s burger run, some people apparently discovered a media conspiracy to cover up a scandal that occurs at the lunch counter. Did Obama get a freebie? No, he insists on paying for his lunch. Did he cut in line? That’s inconclusive. However, MS-NBC cut one critical moment from its coverage: MSNBC, Obama’s favorite network, reported on Obama’s trip with Joe Biden to get a burger. Just two wild and crazy guys out for some red meat. Andrea Mitchell (does she have nothing else to do?) reported that Obama ordered a burger and mustard. Sounds like it had that ...

Post-wingnut?
Balloon Juice —
While some see John’s peak wingnut theory as having been totally discredited by the events of the last few months, I tend to believe that something really has changed in wingnuttia. I’m referring specifically to the fact that I am no longer able to understand many wingnut posts. The one from the law professor at Cornell that John linked to earlier (via Tbogg) is a very good example. The increasingly complicated, incoherent updates are something that seems new to me:

I actually don’t really care what the President puts on his burger, but this Legal Insurrection post about the reaction to his post about the condimenting in question is still pretty interesting:
My post the other day, MSNBC Hides Obama’s Dijon Mustard (aka Dijongate), has hit a nerve unlike anything else I have written.

Like most of my posts, Dijongate could have and probably should have fallen into the black hole of internet punditry, never to be seen or heard of again. But the reaction from the nutroots was ...

No More Mister Nice Blog — DEAR WILIAM JACOBSON Don't flatter yourself. You haven't "hit a nerve" with your obsessive harping on Dijon mustard. What you are is a lunatic who's spectacularly wrong at the top of your lungs and who takes nourishment from ridicule. In other words, you're the Fred Phelps of condiments. "GOD HATES SPICY MUSTARD" is what it says on your sign. Or maybe "REAGAN HATES SPICY MUSTARD." And no, I don't care about your many, many clarifications, in which you say you weren't really mocking Obama for liking spicy mustard, you ...

The affirmative action that dare not speak its name
Balloon Juice —
... I doubt that law is as male-dominated as math is. And I suspect that the proportion of wingnuts in law is similar to the proportion in math (though I could be wrong, I’ve never met a reputable math professor anything like Dijontard). So whatever affirmative action there is for women in the federal judiciary must surely be surpassed by the amount of affirmative action for wingnuts. ...
Far Left Outraged That Hannity Mocked Dear Leader's Mustard

Dijongate lives... On Wednesday night Sean Hannity poked fun of Obama's mustard selection at Ray's Hell Burgers. Hannity mentioned Gateway Pundit during this special mustard segment: This didn't go over well with the Far Left. Mocking Dear Leader's mustard is apparently off limits. The Huffington Post was outraged that Obama's mustard selection be questioned. Funny, this is the same website that regularly slimed George ...

When they stopped at a T.G.I. Friday’s, Obama ordered a cheeseburger, and when the waitress brought his food, he asked for Dijon mustard to go with it. “He doesn’t want Dijon,” the aide insisted, waving the waitress away, and shoving a ...
