Why is the media obsessed with the First Lady's Donkey?

 

So the national media is all in a tizzy because Rogersville, Alabama football coach/teacher Bob Grisham said on tape what they say behind closed doors about Michelle Obama and homosexuals. In other words, they aren't mad at him for WHAT he said, they are mad because it was caught on tape, proof we are who they think we are here in Sweet Home Alabama.

The latest public rant against Michelle Obama’s effort to promote low-calorie school lunches was recently caught on tape in Alabama — the usual protest against the federal government meddling in local business. And then it quickly found its way around to the first lady’s posterior.
“Fat butt Michelle Obama,” said Bob Grisham, a high school football coach who was surreptitiously recorded by one of his students. “Look at her. She looks like she weighs 185 or 190. She’s overweight.”

God forbid the First Lady promotes healthy eating habits so we can live longer.  But I digress

If this incident hadn't been caught on tape, it would be just another example of it's OK if you are republican to bash the President, the First Lady, or the  LBGT' community.   For the record, I don't agree with WHAT Bob Grisham said, but I defend his RIGHT to express his opinion.  He was suspended without pay for 10 days, that is "punishment" enough.  He shouldn't be fired also.  We do have this little thingy called Freedom of Speech.  Well, some of us do, but again, I digress.

With all the problems in the world, our country, and especially the problems here in Sweet Home Alabama why is the media obsessed with the First Lady's Donkey??

I mean, really?
