Michael Phelps, American Glutton, One-Man Global Warming Machine

Quote:

And he is looked upon here as a great inspiration, a source of great American pride. The world is dazzled by this man. But that's not the Michael Phelps that truly exists. Michael Phelps is the epitome, ladies and gentlemen, of The Ugly American. I found out today what he eats on a daily basis. I know he swims five hours a day and needs a lot of energy. Big producers do.
He's produced a lot of medals, a lot of records. Big producers do need a lot of energy. But according to Obama and many on the left, Michael Phelps is just a glutton who cares not for the rest of the world. Twelve thousand calories a day Michael Phelps eats! Can I describe a typical day's diet for Michael Phelps? His breakfast starts with three fried egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions, and mayonnaise. He follows that up, still at breakfast, with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar, and three chocolate chip pancakes. At lunch, this glutton, who cares not for how much of the world's resources he is using as a single American... Look, folks, you've seen the little ChiCom gymnasts. What do they weigh, 38 pounds? A couple of rice cakes, and they're winning medals, too, and they're not destroying.

They're not making a big carbon footprint with their rice cakes! They are behaving responsibly, according to Obama, the Lord Messiah. They're still winning. They don't have these big people out there. You know, the ChiComs in terms of stature, they're small. They don't require much, just a little rice and rice cakes, and that's it. Look at what our guy is doing. No wonder we're hated. And I just described breakfast. Let's go to lunch. At lunch, Michael Phelps "gobbles up a pound of pasta, two large ham-and-cheese sandwiches slathered with mayonnaise on white bread." I mean not only is this stealing from the rest of the world, it's not even healthy, correct? He should be eating whole wheat bread and low-fat mayonnaise. But no, no, no, no! He's going hog wild.

I find it quite humerous.

Under a Zerobama Presidency ... We should probably redistribute food and tax those who eat more than 1000 calories a day

I don't know if I should laugh or cry after reading that. I wonder if the author is aware that 12k calories/day is not all that outlandish for any athlete. I know I ate at least that much in highschool. Our grocery bill was regularly over $150/week many years ago and I don't eat vegitables, that was all real food.

The author is Rush Limbaugh and its his brand of sarcasm.

yeah...funny, but he touches on a point. There is a lot of truth behind the satire.

JeffXD · 08-22-2008, 10:12 PM

I just wanted to show the original author was not sincere in his statements. Rather he was using his satirical approach to show the nuttiness of the leftist whackos. That's all.

I knew it was a joke, but I was wondering if I should cry because someone out there will probably take it seriously and start a petition to ban trainng for the Olympics. Yes, some people are that bad.

I know where you are coming from. Some people need to find more productive hobbies than protesting and petition starting.
