Look! It's Obama eating a dog!

And there in the background is Michelle, wondering "Dayum, I wonder how he learned to do that?"

Look, all candidates, Dem and 'Pug, at all levels go out on the campaign trail and eat all kinds of weird food. Weird looking, weird tasting, weird sounding food. It's been that way for decades, if not centuries. It is as ubiquitous as politicians kissing babies.

The don't necessarily like it, but feel obligated to do it. And yes, every single politician out there has embarrassing pics of them eating certain kinds of food.

Grow up, get over it, and move on. Rather than cutting a pol down on what they're eating, try cutting them down on their policies and record.

But please, the Iowa State Fair ended Saturday, and this juvenile giggling over a corn dog is getting old. Grow up, move on.

1. Well at least that's not as gross as

Bush eating pussy

[DJ13]

6. Eeek!

:spank:

[pintobean]

37. There's more'n one way to skin a cat.

[dipsydoodle]

50. Years ago on the Banjo- L discussion site ,

no I didn't just make that up http://zeppmusic.com/banjo/ , every now and again some plank would start a thread on the merits of using cat's skins as banjo heads instead of calf skin. They always made me scream. I know that's not what you but it reminded me of something I'd forgotten.

:hi:

[pintobean]

53. Sorry about that.

That sucks. No, you're right, I had no idea.
Thanks for sharing (I think).
:hi:

2. K/R

:yourock: We appear to be in the minority.

3. K&R. Bagnewsnotes often comments on these issues.

4. But the bun is there

That's makes if look less dicky.

[FrenchieCat]

5. Not remotely gross.......

In fact, looks pretty normal to me.
but what do I know? :shrug:

[MadHound]

7. As normal as anybody eating a hot dog,

And Bachman's photo is as normal as anybody eating a corndog.

I just want people to grow up and move on to more important things rather than acting like middle schoolers.

[Adsos Letter]

9. Agreed. The camera can catch anyone in an awkward looking instant.

Anyone.

[FrenchieCat]

15. I think that the pic of Bachman struck me much more subliminally sexual.....

But perhaps that's because I'm just normal! :shrug:

[MadHound]

20. Normal?

As in having a normal middle school sense of humor:shrug:

[FrenchieCat]

22. You can label it as you wish......

doesn't stop the mind from going there
when it is given so much to work with!
I call it normal......for those who are healthy sexual beings,
that is.

[MadHound]

23. It isn't abnormal for the mind to go there,

But most grown-ups have a chuckle and then move on. Here we are, three days out, still posting the same old juvenile crap over and over again. That's not normal.

[FarLeftFist]

26. Maybe you should write an article in her defense.

But as free people we are allowed to post juvenile crap all we want. It's not as if the same poster is doing it over and over again.

[FrenchieCat]

27. This is the first thread on the subject of corn dogs that I have commented in.......

:shrug:

[pennylane100]

28. Sorry, call me abnormal

but every time I look at the Bchmanns eating corn dogs, its still funny.

[jakeXT]

32. 2 out of 3 news girls minds go there

[dtexdem]

21. Bachmann doing anything is not as normal as ...

anyone else doing that same thing.

[immoderate]

24. Except Bachman looks like she's about to "you know," and Obama doesn't.

He looks like a guy eating a hot dog.


--imm

[Warren DeMontague]

44. No, most people who eat hot dogs or corn dogs don't look like they're blowing them

and gagging in the process.

Maybe the issue here is that she was forcing herself to eat something she didn't really want to eat, but the fact remains that she is running as the standard bearer for the whackjob-jesus anti-sex prude faction of the Republican Party. If you honestly expect people to see pictures like this:






and NOT make jokes;

well, I'm sorry you're forced to live on the planet with us low-brows.

[Broderick]

47. That is a pretty LARGE

corn dog.

[Warren DeMontague]

54. I'm telling you, man

you can't put it in the strike zone like that, and expect people not to swing.

I appreciate the monk-like purity of some of the self-appointed stern-faced elders around here- no, really, I do- but me? I'm nowhere NEAR that saintly. :rofl:

[lpbk2713]

8. I expected this to be another pit bull thread.

:eyes:

[nc4bo]

10. Funny bone doesn't tingle with that pic, not even a slight tic. nt

[MadHound]

12. It's not supposed to,

That's the whole point.

11. Bob Dylan

“Now, the man on the stand he wants my vote,
He's a-runnin' for office on the ballot note.
He's out there preachin' in front of the steeple,
Tellin' me he loves all kinds-a people.
(He's eatin' bagels
He's eatin' pizza
He's eatin' chitlins
He's eatin' bullshit!)”

Bob Dylan

[MineralMan]

13. There's one of Hillary, too.

Pretty much every candidate has eaten a hot dog on camera. It's something you have to do at the fair or on the 4th. So, there are plenty of those photos.

[dipsydoodle]

17. Biting off more than she can chew by the look of it

[lunatica]

14. That's funny

Michelle's look is funny too. That photo begs for a caption.

[JohnnyRingo]

16. At least he doesn't look like someone should have a hand pushing on the back of his head.

I can still be juvenile.

[RZM]

18. On a related note . . .

It seems that it's not unusual to hold your arm out straight in front of you while speaking in front of a crowd either:









Perry and Bachmann do more than enough to make themselves look bad just by holding the positions they do. Time spent making fun of how they eat or hold their arms is time not spent on showing regular people how their policies would hurt the country.

[Adsos Letter]

34. True. And the camera frame freezes what is, in fact, often one split-second

of a longer movement, sending a false impression as in the photos you posted. I'm not communicating my meaning well, but I agree with the point you're making. :)

Edit: well, the edit didn't really help clarify anything... :dunce:

[dtexdem]

19. Oh, no -- not Bo!

Oh, OK then.

[jberryhill]

25. Eating PORK in the DAYTIME during RAMADAN!

How can this be?

I'm amused that he's wearing a fair admission bracelet.

As if someone from the fair would kick him out for not having paid admission.

[GKirk]

31. Good catch...

...on the bracelet, he and Michelle must have wanted to take advantage of the unlimited carnival rides. :)

[jberryhill]

33. Yeah....

Given the reliability of fair equipment in the midwest this year, I tend to doubt that the Secret Service would be happy with them getting onto a piece of machinery assembled and operated by stoned teenagers making less than minimum wage.

[WinkyDink]

36. Not if it's a Nathan's. :-)

[jberryhill]

38. Not in Iowa

[Motown_Johnny]

45. could be all beef, or a chicken/turkey dog

not that it matters

[Rex]

29. OMG!!! TEE HEE GIGGLES!

Looks like MO is praying that the picture goes over well in the GP.

35. What is WITH these people trying to INHALE hot-dogs, corn-dogs, etc.?

It isn't rocket surgery.

[Warren DeMontague]

43. Remember, the last president nearly felled himself with a bag of pretzels

:shrug:

[Warren DeMontague]

39. Wait. Is this another poutrage thread about the pics of Michelle Bachmann blowing a corndog

Well, one difference is, she actually looks like she's trying to blow the thing, and she's fighting her gag reflex to do it.

Also, Michelle Bachmann probably supports criminalizing assorted forms of oral sex between consenting adults, so that makes it extra funny, as does her whackjob anti-sex right wing fundamentalism (not to be confused with the whackjob anti-sex fundamentalism displayed in a few rarefied corners of 'the left')

Plus, Okay, fine, then Obama's blowing one too.

Thanks, though, for keeping this importantly ridiculous story right up at the front.

[Broderick]

48. She seems to be really enjoying the blowing

errr, the eating of that massive member; I mean corn dog. Most self proclaimed saints, are generally deprived sexual dynamos in my humble experienced opinion.

[Bluebear]

40. The bun makes the difference. That is all.

:)

[Warren DeMontague]

42. And the teeth.

[Bluebear]

41. .

:)

[Motown_Johnny]

46. The First Lady doesn't look happy about it

[southernyankeebelle]

49. Can you hear the republicans say he copied them. LOL

[pacalo]

51. Bachman's highly-suggestive foot-long corndog photo op showed bad judgment

& could hardly be compared to a hotdog. I showed Bachman's picture to my husband & he immediately got it. Showing Obama's hotdog picture to him would have him asking me what the big deal is.

[MrScorpio]

52. Looks like he put mustard on that dog

He's a REAL American!
