Not lovin' it . . .

I know this story is a few days old, but I wanted to comment on it:

JAY LENO, HOST: You trained your whole life, you win. How did you celebrate? What did you do?
GABBY DOUGLAS: We didn't have time to celebrate. It was team finals and had to turn the page all-around finals and event finals after that. But, after the competition, I splurged on an Egg McMuffin at McDonald’s.
LENO: Egg McMuffin.
[Laughter]
"I could eat you whole . . ."
MICHELLE OBAMA: Yeah, Gabby, we don't, don't encourage him. [Laughter] I'm sure it was on…
DOUGLAS: A salad.
OBAMA: a whole wheat McMuffin.
LENO: It was on a whole wheat bun.
OBAMA: Yeah.
LENO: So an Egg McMuffin. Very good.
[Light laughter]
OBAMA: You're setting me back, Gabby.
DOUGLAS: Sorry.
OBAMA: It's so hard.
Okay . . .

Michelle, shut up.  She splurged on an Egg McMuffin.  After countless hours of training and winning fricking gold medals.  How often do you splurge - especially on your frequent vacations?

The Egg McMuffin is not available with a whole wheat English muffin.  If you had any contact with everyday people, you would know that.  

And Gabby Douglas is not setting you back.  Stop personalizing it.  You want "back?"  Because sister, you got it:


I hate these nanny types, especially when they are such hypocrites.  A gourmet meal prepared by a trained chef is not "unhealthy" but someone who is a trained athlete gets schooled on public TV for having a splurge.

You know what?  That's just rude.  Instead of the segment being about Gabby and her great accomplishment, Michelle Obama turns it into a spotlight for her personal agenda.

And I'm guessing Gabby doesn't get to eat meals like that very often. Geez louise!

This kid does a hundred sit ups a day. She could eat the whole menu and burn it up in practice. Michelle is such a rude cow.
