During a panel discussion Roland Martin had this exchange with a comedian, J. Anthony Brown, about me and my criticism of the First Lady, Moochelle Obama.<\/p>\n<p>MARTIN: Rush Limbaugh has been highly critical of First Lady Michelle Obama for eating ribs. <\/p>\n<p>BROWN: (groans)<\/p>\n<p>MARTIN: Is, Rush, really, Kym, really the best person to talk about eating? <\/p>\n<p>BROWN: What did he say? What did he actually say? <\/p>\n<p>MARTIN: He said that she\u2019s telling us to eat tofu and all this food with no taste &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>BROWN: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>MARTIN: But at some event she was eating ribs, and it was 1500 calories. <\/p>\n<p>BROWN: No disrespect, but he\u2019s kinda partially right about that. Now, you can\u2019t have us eatin\u2019 tofu &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>MARTIN: (laughing)<\/p>\n<p>BROWN: &#8212; and then you at a rib shack. It just don\u2019t sound right. <\/p>\n<p>RUSH: &#8216;[H]e\u2019s kind of partially right about that. You can\u2019t have us eating tofu and you eat at a rib shack. It just don\u2019t sound right.\u2019 So even the brothers are kind of throwing a curve there to our old buddy Roland Martin. But then it continued. The other guests on this show were Kym Whitley, a comedian; and Buddy Lewis, and they all then got in on it.<\/p>\n<p>BROWN: No disrespect, it\u2019s just &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>WHITLEY: Well, wait a minute! I think &#8212; No, but I think she said in moderation. She never said change completely.<\/p>\n<p>BROWN: Yeah, but I saw her plate, and it didn\u2019t look really moderate.<\/p>\n<p>ALL: (burst out laughing)<\/p>\n<p>LEWIS: It was liberal, not conservative? <\/p>\n<p>ALL: (burst out laughing)<\/p>\n<p>LEWIS: You can\u2019t be mad at the first lady or having ribs?<\/p>\n<p>BROWN: Seriously. <\/p>\n<p>WHITLEY: And she really needs&#8230; He cannot talk!<\/p>\n<p>LEWIS: Well, see, that\u2019s the thing about it. People always tell fat people that they can\u2019t do fat jokes. Who better to do a fat joke than a fat person?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So the waves, the repercussions here for my pointing out the hypocrisy and the irony of Michelle Obama chowing down on the big time &#8212; what was it? What kind of ribs were they? Not baby back. Short ribs! Anyway, it\u2019s still reverberating out there, ladies and gentlemen, and support for your host surfacing in some unsuspected quarters. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Speaking of tomorrow being Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday (if Michelle Obama hasn\u2019t outlawed it), yesterday on TV One\u2019s Washington Watch with our old buddy Roland Martin.
