No surprise. Liberalism had infected the mainstream cooking magazines even before the Obamas came to town.

At least she’s on Nigella’s show…shes HOTTTTTT

I cannot wait to hear how to prepare vegetables with lead.

Well that’s one ICA show I’ll skip.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I turn to the Food Network to GET AWAY FROM THEM!

Warn me when Barry plans to show up on the Weather Channel.

She should just get her own full-time show. What could we call it? Ace of Fakes?
NebCon on November 5, 2009 at 3:13 PM
Sh will probably show off her man arms.
Firebird on November 5, 2009 at 3:13 PM
Reality TV might be a good idea for the obamas. I’d like to see them on Til Debt Do Us Part. Barry needs to have his wild spending ways cut down and his credit cards cut up. They need to learn how to balance a budget.

He’s hosting the Global Warming special.

I for one am glad the Michelle is doing this. Bush really hurt relations with the Iron Chef community in this country. Is there anything the Obama family can’t do?
…other than the things they proposed during the campaign, of course.

Laura bush was on Leno last night…
Norvell on November 5, 2009 at 3:14 PM
Good God ENOUGH ALREADY!!!
This is how libs operate – they love him so they think everyone loves him. After all, they don’t know anyone who voted for that old guy (kind of like how they didn’t know anyone who voted for Bush, so his two elections had to have been stolen!!!111!!eleven!!1!1!). Therefore, they’re quite content to shove these two down the country’s collective throats at every chance – simply because they’re black.
Libs honestly believe that everyone is a lib. They live in a bubble.

In 2013, he’ll replace Al Roker.

So long as Alton Brown doesn’t brown nose her…

We know how that would have gone with jealous Michelle O.
Joe Caps on November 5, 2009 at 3:14 PM
Watch the Country Music Channel. It’s kryptonite to the Obamas.
nyx on November 5, 2009 at 3:14 PM
SO OBAMA.
How bout them millions of jobs your wonderful legislation has created this year, huh?
It’s a good thing you’ve got all this time on your hands to do photo ops and talk shows, considering the wonderful job you’ve done presiding of the loss of millions of jobs while wasting a trillion in taxpayer money with nothing to show for it.
Keep up the great work, Barry. You really aren’t doing ENOUGH to overexpose yourself, you know. You need to go on more vapid talk shows. The American people aren’t getting your whole hopenchange “thing.”
Good Lt on November 5, 2009 at 3:15 PM
She’ll win, too. None of the chefs are RAAAACIST!

How to prepare $100/lb Kobi beef for that special cocktail party.

I’m sure the Secret Ingredient for this episode will be Arugula.

How to find, buy, and cook arugula!

Joe Caps on November 5, 2009 at 3:18 PM
That show features a lot of strange creatures.
LibTired on November 5, 2009 at 3:18 PM
You know, AllahPundit has been predicting/dreading this moment for about a year now. Seriously, anytime Obama is in full on media press he says something on Twitter to the effect of “I’m surprised The One’s not on Food Network talking to Emeril about the deficit”
Number 2 on November 5, 2009 at 3:19 PM
If O wants to overexpose himself so badly, he can appear on Jeopardy. The categories are Afghanistan, Constititional History, Totalitarian Dictators and Bo. He can actually achieve money to pay for the zillion dollar debt he ‘inherited’.
nyx on November 5, 2009 at 3:20 PM
Emeril isn’t even on Food Network anymore. He’s on that stupid Planet Green channel or something.
I always thought Emeril was more popular than that.
MobileVideoEngineer on November 5, 2009 at 3:20 PM
Michelle Obama was on Leno recently. Her husband got a full hour on Letterman.
What’s your point?
JammieWearingFool on November 5, 2009 at 3:21 PM
So, in a way, this is Bush’s fault?
bighead4 on November 5, 2009 at 3:22 PM
Holy crap, there’s a real garden? I thought “white house vegetable garden” was just the Secret Service code for the VP’s office…
Sideout on November 5, 2009 at 3:23 PM
It’s not a unique situation.
Norvell on November 5, 2009 at 3:23 PM
It’s probably slipped your notice. Bush isn’t president.
Regardless, in the last year how many times has Michelle been on TV compared to Laura?
MarkTheGreat on November 5, 2009 at 3:23 PM
For once, Lindsey is ahead of the curve.
Terry_Dyne on November 5, 2009 at 3:24 PM
What a downgrade. Ugh. What a disgrace.
cubachi on November 5, 2009 at 3:24 PM
Cripes, what would she be appearing for?
As long as she doesn’t appear on Paula Deen (yes, Paula) or Ina Garten’s show, I’m OK.
The means to escape them are running out (tv-wise). Thank goodness USA/TNT/TBS don’t have reality shows.
Dubn8tr on November 5, 2009 at 3:24 PM
So where were the endless magazine covers of Laura Bush while her husband was president?
At least she loves America.
JammieWearingFool on November 5, 2009 at 3:26 PM
His point was that because a Republican did it (which he and his Obamacrat friends would have and often did criticize on the rare instances in which such things happened during the Bush years), that we’re now “not allowed” to point out that President Teleprompter appears more interested in which TV talk shows he’s going to be on than fixing the economy or even making a genuine good-faith attempt at it (he’s making an attempt at SOMETHING, but any student who passed econ 101 can see that whatever it is he thinks he’s doing, it certainly can’t be called “fixing the economy”).
Good Lt on November 5, 2009 at 3:26 PM
She should do a guest spot on Fear Factor next…and appear naked in front of the contestants. I know I couldn’t handle it.
bighead4 on November 5, 2009 at 3:26 PM
And Obama isn’t creating any jobs.
So what?
Good Lt on November 5, 2009 at 3:27 PM
I am pretty sure a zany entrepreneur might invent a Otilfiltrator which would filter out the Os one of these days. Until then, food weeps.
nyx on November 5, 2009 at 3:28 PM
Healthy eating? Have they even watched the show? How many gallons of oil are used in cooking the food? How much butter and cream are used in their recipes?
And this show is hardly ‘carbon neutral’. Everything is on fire! CO2 spewing natural gas fuels the stovetops and ovens.
And what about waste? This show wastes enough food cooking for three people to feed 30.
And there is a winner! Hardly in keeping with the liberal ideology of everyone’s a winner even if their not.
Has the EPA tested her vegetables for heavy metal contamination before this show? It would not do to poison the guests. Of course they would just blame Bush anyway since the dirt was there before the Obama’s…
This is hardly a ‘Lefty Friendly’ show. I’m surprised MO is doing it.
catmman on November 5, 2009 at 3:28 PM
Nigella has an incredible set of…..recipes.

I thought they’d be on “Little People, Big World” by now.

Would rather they be guests on Dexter.

More like “Little Accomplishments, Big Deficits.” Am I right, or am I right?
bighead4 on November 5, 2009 at 3:33 PM
Mostly cloudy, chilly, with no chance of rainstorms to wash away the damage O is doing. Strong storms are approaching from the Midwest. These storms will fan out to the Northeast and to the Southern tip of the nation of California. Visibility will be less than 1/4 mile with O at the helm. To the North, we will see breaking clouds with periods of sunshine ala New Jersey and Virginia. In Washington DC, we see the NancyTsunami in full view, with house and senate leaders running for cover in the face of her coming poo-nami.
More at 2010.
Key West Reader on November 5, 2009 at 3:34 PM
NBC does own the Weather Channel now so it would not be a surprise at all.

LincolntheHun on November 5, 2009 at 3:37 PM
…because all the others had way more class.
The Obamas are everywhere and, therefore, are big Nothings.
Both are power/camera/adulation-hungry and really classless rubes, who don’t realize what the office and the house mean.
Obama is not confident/competent to be president, but pretends to be more than that, kind of a world emperor. In reality they are both empty narcissists.
Our country is diminished. The world is laughing. The electorate is just waiting for the next Novembers.
Schadenfreude on November 5, 2009 at 3:38 PM
I am shocked that you even know such a term..and slightly intrigued
LincolntheHun on November 5, 2009 at 3:38 PM
At this rate they should show up in Wayne’s basement sometime next summer.

Well that explains the Global
coolingwarmingclimate change cultism there. I always thought that was fishy. You would think that the people who have trouble telling what the weather is next week would be skeptical of models predicting weather decades into the future.Joe Caps on November 5, 2009 at 3:42 PM
Oh come on… It’s great publicity for the Food Network and I don’t fault them in the least for this. I do, however, fault the Obamas for once again demeaning the office of the President with this silliness. First it was the guy skateboarding in the East Room, now it’s the White House Executive Chef competing in “Kitchen Stadium”. What’s next? Will Joe Biden appear on Dancing With The Stars?
Outlander on November 5, 2009 at 3:42 PM
… whatever that is.
I guess you’re trying to say that Nigella has “everything in all the right places.” I would definitely agree, she is one smoking hot Brit.
Her show kind of grosses me out sometimes though, with the close-ups of her putting her hands into the food, like raw eggs & stuff. And she has been known to make some pretty funky stuff. It’s almost like food porn, but not in a good way.
Now, if she was smearing strawberry jelly all over her body, I guess I wouldn’t have a problem with that.

Our hatred and/or distrust of the Obamas is warranted but now it’s getting obsessive.
First ladies make appearances. That’s what they do. From Hillary, to Laura Bush to Nancy reagan appearing on Diff’rent Strokes.
It’s what they do. We need to take a chill pill.
Pcoop on November 5, 2009 at 4:10 PM
Michelle doesn’t bother me as much as Barry. This is a trivial thing that will easily be forgotten and should be treated as such.

As long as the Obamas aren’t booked for any shows on HGTV, we don’t have to go to Code Red. Lisa LaPorta and Clive don’t need any pointers from the gang that screwed up Freddie and Fannie…
