Getting to the Bottom of the Mustard Debacle

So as you may know, Barack Obama was criticized by the great Sean Hannity for requesting Dijon mustard on his burger. Obama and Biden went out to get burgers about a week ago.



Let us get the facts straight. Thanks to David Frum of NewMajority.com, we are told that "Texans traditionally eat hamburgers with mustard or with mayonnaise (or with both), but without ketchup."

and "a 2000 survey of members of Congress by the National Hot Dog Council found that 73% of Republican lawmakers preferred mustard to ketchup, as opposed to 47% of Democratic lawmakers."

And lastly, and perhaps most importantly, "Grey Poupon is owned and manufactured by Kraft Foods. It is the processed cheese of mustards. It is the fucking Velveeta of faux-French products. Can we all shut the fuck up?" Thanks for that

Arianna Huffington has called this "the lamest political food fight since freedom fries." Agreed.

Do I feel bad for spending so much time writing about this? Yes.
