Fat Chance

I was perusing the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation this morning and came upon this op-ed by Leonard Pitts.

Perhaps someone will be good enough to tell me how fat you are allowed to be before your opinions no longer matter. Surely conservative radio host Laura Ingraham had a specific weight in mind when she attacked Sen. John McCain's daughter, Meghan McCain, essentially dismissing her for being, in Ingraham's eyes, overweight.

Well Leonard, maybe you should ask some of your friends on the left this question. These are the people who refuse to debate Rush Limbaugh on his beliefs. They prefer referring to him as "drug addled" and "fat". So, if you're gonna take on Laura Ingraham for calling Meghan McCain fat what do you have to say about Al Franken writing a book called, Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot? So how fat does a talk show host have to be before his "opinions no longer matter"? Hmmmmmm?

And exactly what did Laura Ingraham say that got your panties in a wad?

Speaking as Meghan McCain, she added: "OK, I was really hoping that I was going to get that role in the Real World, but then I realized that, well, they don't like plus-sized models."

Plus-sized models. OK. I guess that means fat. Maybe she should have said "full figured". That's what fat girls use on the dating sites.

McCain responded succinctly on ABC's The View: "Kiss my fat ass."

Are you sure that wasn't Joy Behar? It would have been more appropriate.

Leonard Pitts wrote an entire column on Laura Ingraham calling Meghan McCain "plus-sized". What a waste of newsprint. No wonder newspapers are losing money.

By the way Meghan, I have to agree with Laura. You are "plus-sized". But then I'm a sexist pig, as well as being about 25 pounds overweight myself.

Leonard Pitts, on the other hand, is a double standard hypocrite. Get back to me, Leonard, when you take your left wing buddies to task for dismissing Rush Limbaugh as "drug addled" and "fat".

Projection. There's a lot of it on the left.

Too bad we still don't have dunking stools in this country-Joy (What a laugh THAT name is for her...) would be one of the 1st ones to go in it, being the common scold that she is...

The fat on the left is all in their heads. Their big fat ass heads.

Looks pretty damn good to me...

If we all stopped listening to someone when that person was deemed 'fat', then Oprah would have been off the air years ago...then back on...then back off...then back on...then back off...etc., etc., etc....

But I will say this, Meghan McCain doesn't get taken seriously for 2 reasons. 1) Her dad and 2) she has managed (along with most young folks in this country) to butcher the laws of the English language like the entire cast of 'The Hills.' - Horrible.

frankly, i liked the sequel to al franken's book, "al franken is a buck toothed moron" much better

I liked Rush until his drug problems. Too hypocritical for me.

Posted by: snafu on March 25, 2009 04:03 PM

As a "plus sized babe," I've had my share of put downs over the years. I usually respond with, "And you don't look like Cary Grant, either."

Have you ever noticed how many of the babes on the back of Harley-Davidsons are "plus sized?" I'd like to see Leonard Pitts use the words "fat" and "drug addled" in the middle of that crowd...

I'm with hammer. Pretty damn good for sure...

Posted by: CharlieDelta on March 25, 2009 05:34 PM

Meghan, Sarah, or Laura...I'd gladly choose any or all of them over the Sasquatch or the Hildebeeste.

Posted by: Rurik on March 25, 2009 05:39 PM

I am a "firm plus-sized" sexy babe and I must be smart because I listen to Rush and read you!!!!

Just because Meghan isn't emaciated like the sickly looking girls on "Friends" or "Desperate Housewives" doesn't make her fat. If you would see Meghan in person, you would see that she is on the average side for her weight. I would guess she is a size 8.

If you look at the first episodes of "Friends" you will see the gradual emaciation of the actresses on that show. We now see every woman on tv is a size "0" so we thing that is "normal". Way back when Marilyn Monroe was alive she was "normal" -- guess what size she was? 12

I think Meghan is a beautiful woman, even though I don't agree with her watered down beliefs, just to be "cool" with the liberals.

Ingraham was not calling Meghan fat, she was doing a parody, and commenting on Meghan's admitted struggle with her weight. (Just wait, Meghan, until you have kids, then you'll know what a real struggle with weight is.)

This was just another attack from the left to demonize someone -- seems that's the only thing their good at. i.e. Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bobby Jindahl, and now Laura Ingraham.

I'm sure this ass that wrote this opp-ed called out Obama on making fun of Special Olympics athletes, right??? Why do I doubt that ...

But the real question is ...

How does Denny know that fat girls on dating websites call themselves full-figured?

Sorry, I couldn't let that one slide.

ewisconsin - That was a great question to Denny... I'm having a good laugh here! One of my young, plus-sized cousin put "nicely rounded" on a dating website.

Have to add mikey moore to the list. The unwashed, fat mockumentary maker.

Posted by: Tanzfleck on March 25, 2009 07:56 PM

Well, I'm a full figured fella, so there. I'd never date a fat girl simply because....
Seriously, Many men prefer women like Megan,and some guys would call her too skinny. One kid I know has a wife that out weighs me by close to a hundred pounds.
Some contend that as we age, we accumulate knowledge. When our brains run out of room they store it elsewhere, places like the butt and belly.
As far as the namby pambys on the left, who seriously expects adult behavior from them anyway?

Posted by: Jeremy on March 25, 2009 07:57 PM

Pitts is and always has been a racist POS. Got thin skin to from the answer I got from him a couple years back.

I doubt if there is a do-gooder (dumb ass democrat) in the country that hasn't had a drug problem or who doesn't have a family member who currently has one. What a Dr gives you is one thing, even if he hooks you for a while. The democrats who keep the Mexican drug lords in business is another. Every democrat is not a druggie but every street druggie I've ever seen was a democrat. Don't like it, kiss my fat ass.

Posted by: Scrapiron on March 26, 2009 12:28 AM


Surprise surprise...more garbage that prevents us from actually addressing problems. Imaging- a world where democrats and republicans actually solve problems instead of giving us long-winded bloviating...

Limbaugh "debating" someone? I'd love to see a fairly moderated debate with him. His show is about anything BUT debate. No thinking. Just long winded diatribes.

Double standards exist on all sides. It's called being human.

I thought you all would appreciate this as well (especially the so-called "Randians" on this blog.)

Leonard Pitts sounds like a real fathead.

Rush's show isn't supposed to be a debate. It is what it is, a tool for getting his viewpoint out to the people. I think Rush would do well in a debate with a lefty simply because most of their arguments are not based on logic, but on emotion. "Those poor downtrodden people who need the government to save them, over and over and over."
Meanwhile, there are plenty of chubby chasers out there who love the candy coated women. I'm not one of them, but I certainly don't hate the chubbies or think that excess weight makes them stupid. How stupid would that be?

Posted by: Schmidty on March 26, 2009 09:46 AM

Schmidty, as many of your post usually do, you hit the nail on the head. The reasons Dims/Liberals/Socialists suck at debating (unless of course, questions are planted and planned in advance as all the major political debates are done) is because they have no clue as to facts and common sense. Everything they say/do is based on how they feel, or how they should feel, or how others might feel. Just about every time a well spoken or articulate person tries to debate the likes of Rush or Boortz, they get their head handed to them on a platter because when called out on this "feeling" approach to life, they can't support their decisions with facts. They (libs/socialists/dims) have also proven themselves to be one of the largest groups of Hippocrates that ever walked the earth. But the press and their dumbed down constituency give them a pass each and every time.

wtf - Limbaugh has offered to debate Jug Hussein Ears. Think he'll take him up on it?

Posted by: Denny on March 26, 2009 12:50 PM

Well, Milady is 5' 2" and weighs around 133 or so, has for years. Had 5 kids and a 70th birthday, and to me she's beautiful. Emaciated women just don't look healthy to me. 'Course, when Milady & I first me, we both had teeth, and 20/20 vision, and flat bellies, and limber spines . . . and she weighed around 108, which was absogoddamtively perfect, just as 133 is posifrigginlutely perfect today.

And I thought Marie Osmond was still one helluva good-lookin woman even BEFORE she lost that 40 pounds she keeps natterin on and on about.

"Limbaugh has offered to debate Jug Hussein Ears. Think he'll take him up on it?"

If not, maybe BO's TelePrompTer will.

Posted by: thatjerryguy on March 26, 2009 01:30 PM

hammer - right there with you.
ET - I'll fight you for the attention of that mormon.

Snafu - you are dead on about Rush. I recall him giving that stupid line "I wish I could disclose more about this drug accusation. I'd love to talk all about it, but there is litigation and I cannot."

when litigation was over he said dam little. He is smart, he is articulate, but he is full of hubris. He is an entertainer and not my style.

Posted by: patrick on March 26, 2009 01:35 PM

Meghan's not so bad. I'd do her.

Leonard Pitts is a slimy smarmy moron. And that's the edited version.

Posted by: Passionate Conservative on March 27, 2009 08:34 PM

Wondering......

El Rushbo makes one large mistake , pays the price,takes the cure......... then goes on about his business for entertainment & information. A goodly number condemn him who should in my opinion know better.

The Messiah fuck`s up daily , has yet to get anything right & still is the subject of adoration of the welfare class , the over-leisured, socialists & the Media.

What is wrong with this & when will people get their heads out of their asses?????
