President Bush and his 'Dijongate' recipe
By John Amato Saturday May 09, 2009 11:15am
The wingnuts were just wild over the fact that President Obama ordered Dijon mustard on his burger. Well, C&Ler David sent in this White House web page full of Independence Day recipes: What a hoot. Dear Instapundit, Jon Stewart never mentioned anything about mustard in his burger piece and wasn't that the point of your silliness? However, your Holy leader George Bush really loves his Dijon mustard too.
President and Laura Bush's Deviled Eggs Recipe
12 large eggs, boiled hard and peeled
1 Tbsp (plus) soft butter
1 Tbsp (plus) mayonnaise
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp Yucatan Sunshine Habanero sauce
Salt to tasteCut eggs in half and set aside. Put egg yolks in food processor and add all ingredients. Process for 20 seconds or until mixture has blended. Check for taste and increase mustard, salt or Habanero sauce if desired. Place mixture in piping bag with star tip and pipe into egg halves. Sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley. Chill for about an hour before serving.
I bet he loved his arugula too.

A real American should be using
French'sFreedom's Yellow Mustard!everyone knows that an intern in the First Lady's office prepared that
recipe from the Internet before putting it on her resume to land a similar job with Cindy McCain.
Ya, can't imagine the bushies knowing a recipe of any kind really. Too rich and elitist for recipes.
But George gobbled the eggs up at let out a satifying belch. Dang that Dijonate is something isn't it George?
Ya, republiscum use french's mustard. that tells you all you need to know about rethuglicans.
is the tic tacs Secy Rice gave him before he gave the German Chancellor a rub down.
GW doesn't believe in condiments.
He believes that abstinence is best.
Or didn't mommernall tell him where they come from.
Now, don't be giving them any ideas. Next thing you know they'll be comparing him to Bush, and everybody hates Bush, except for maybe a tenth of the population.
"It's good and normal when we do it, and complete utter treasonous evil when the other side does it."
Of course, their 11th commandment is "Don't get caught."
I think that Georgie Boy had his Yucatan Sunshine Habanero sauce confused with some of his best acid of the '70's. . . . Yellow Sunshine LSD.
Right up there with the best marijuana . . . Maui Wowie and Acapulco Gold.
I'm sure he has a recipe for Hash Brownies too.
Tell me where to find the damn "Yucatan Sunshine Habanero Sauce"????
The deviled eggs sound really "espe-cially...."...
But I must say....the "Yucatan Sunshine Habanero Sauce" seems much more bourgeoise than freakin' Dijon "Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon?" mustard.
Good Night! (Still East Coastin' it).
Link here. Evidently it comes out of Louisiana, but you'd never know it from the name!
Never heard of the stuff. I must be bourgeois.
Doesn't eat what he can't pronounce...so no arugula....
He may starve then? Prenunciatinen ain't his strongurst soot.
Now wingnuts can say 'Obama likes Dijon mustard, Bush likes Dijon mustard. Bush's policies (and remember, he was the only person who made them...the ONLY person...) hurt America, therefore Obama's policies will hurt America.'
Note: I can't believe your dragging this out
But, your egg salad argument makes you look more ridiculous then they do. It's an apples to oranges comparison.
Most people put ketchup on their burger so his Dijon only thing was a little odd compared to the norm. Every fast food burger joint in America puts ketchup on a burger unless you request it off.
Most people also put mustard in their egg salad so their is nothing weird about Bush recipe.
Not only that, it's not hypocritical of the right to say dijon only is weird on the hamburger and not in the egg salad.
It's absolutely retarded to make any kind of case out of it on the right, but it ain't hypocritical.
There is a difference on the right between being batshit insane and being hypocritical. Look up the definitions.
It's outside the norm to put only dijon on a hamburger. Not elitist, not weird, not wrong, but outside the norm.
I like fact based and reasoned arguments, not apples to oranges comparisons.
And by what facts and reason do you conclude that it is "outside the norm" not to put ketsup on a burger? Do you even know the diff b/w objective and subjective? Do you know what hypocritical means?
apples or oranges? And what makes a deviled egg a salad?
And by what facts and reason do you conclude that it is "outside the norm" not to put ketsup on a burger?
You all can bitch, moan, whine, lie, and crop what I said. But, it's the norm.
I also called people who called Obama out for it bat shit insane.
So those of you think that I'm some right wing jizz mopper are equally retarded.
Has the reading comprehension level on C&L degraded to below the third grade intellect?
Serious fucking idiots on this site.
And what exactly does egg salad have to do with anything unless you are calling them hypocrites?
IDIOTS!!!
oranges comparisons."
More fuzzy thinking from a ketchup drenched brain of a Reagan era vegetable eater.
We have alot of babeques around here during the summer, and lots of people use dijon mustard. Honey mustard too! Is that outside your norm? Is the norm limited to reel murkin' kinds of foods they sell at that all murkin' store - Wal Mart?
You make about as much sense as a wingnut.
because he is a GenXer.
I can't believe that people are actually talking about this kind of stupid shit.
It's absolutely retarded for the Republicans to bother with this.
But it's probably doubly retarded to even debate them on it.
How many people died in Iraq and Afghanistan today?
you like to insult daily?
dialog.
Note: I can't believe your dragging this out
So, to curtail this silliness, you come here and write an essay of your opinions. OK.
Most people put ketchup on their burger so his Dijon only thing was a little odd compared to the norm.
Really?!? You asked EVERYBODY? I hate fucking ketchup-- highly sweetened rotten tomatoes mashed to a puree. Gross.
your argument about condiment norms to be hypocritical. The post by Mr. Amato was about the suggestion by the right wing idiots that a preference for Dijon mustard indicated a substantial degree of elitism. (Hence the Grey Poupon ad references) It doesn't matter what you put it on or in. It is hypocritical to suggest that Obama is elitist for using Dijon mustard on a burger but it isn't so if the Bush tribe use it in deviled eggs. Personally I am an elitist and in my opinion the only justifiable use of ketchup is to mask any and all flavors of the food on which it is placed. It is perfectly fine for rancid meat when you are starving to death.
It wasn't just that it was dijon over regular.
I'm done debating it cause I do feel stupid having debated it at all.
But, when I see so called progressives lie and butcher what I said, then I think this place is dumber than a sack of rocks.
I remember a similar story concerning Hannity and John Kerry. Hannity was bitching about the elitist John Kerry having a PBJ with strawberry jelly while campaigning for President. According to Hannity, only real 'merican patriots like himself, use grape jelly. Just before Dubya left office he had Limbaugh at the White House for a lunch celebrating Limbaugh's birthday. Limbaugh was all over himself (no elitism there) about this luncheon. While describing the food, Limbaugh made a point to tell his audience what Bush had ordered. The down-to-earth folksy President had a PBJ sandwich with, wait for it, strawberry jelly.
Perhaps this is one of the many reasons why the republican party is going down the tubes. When condiments become the litmus test about who is more American or qualified to be a public servant they have totally lost it. When will someone on the right stand up to these pundits and call them on this lunacy?
When will someone on the right stand up to these pundits and call them on this lunacy?
As soon as they recognise that it is lunacy, which is never. They became republicans because republicans are lunatics.
Also during the '04 campaign when Kerry stopped in Philly, he was bitched at by right-wing pundits for having Swiss cheese on his cheesesteak.
and, not to put too fine a point on this, but the Prez ordered his burger with "mustard". Done. No other modifier. No "dijon". Just plain old mustard. Of course, that doesn't stop the wingnuts from trying to put a little spin on it by starting the meme that it was "dijon" mustard to make it sound all frenchy-effete....as if it would be wrong to ask for dijon mustard. Juvenile, snotty, snide, nasty.
baconnaise?
good!
He asked for mustard, then clarified he wanted "spicy mustard...like dijon."
Trust me, we have to monitor the crazy wingnut sites like Red State, where they were going nuts over dijon.
Personally, I like a little hot sauce on my hamburgers, like Tabasco. Don't tell the wingnuts though, they'll try to blame the swine flu on me.
I buy hot mango chutney, MADE IN PAKISTAN, so I guess I'm not only elite, but a terrorist lover too. *Sigh.
I feel sorry for you having to monitor such sites.
like W and Laura would need a Recipe to make deviled eggs....
But neither George or Laura strike me as the type who would like habanero anything.
average Texan, maybe?
How is hannity going to square the fact that his gang of villains insist on French's mustard in their burgers? Seriously. If they want to get into this thing, let them. They have their mustard talking points as screwed as the rest of their fringe political 'organization'.
Isn't that special! How fitting. They probably got the recipe from Satan himself.
Oh, and I can just picture Laura slaving away in the kitchen ... Not!
Deviled Eggs sound mighty elitist to me! The only ones I've seen deviled eggs recipes appear in are gourmet cooking. I've yet to see hamburgers with spicy mustard appear in my gourmet books tho! ;)
check and mate.
:D
Since I know you like jalapenos, try jalapeno mayonnaise. Cut 'em up (or use from jar) and let sit in mayo overnight. Then spread away. My gourmet chef friend showed me.
Will be another way to use them! :)
Like the Bushes have ever seen the inisde of a kitchen.
if a Republican does it. Deviled eggs are not Satanic if the president eats them. If the president is a Republican.
If Obama even looks at a jar of Grey Poupon (which is actually made in the USA), it's open-and-shut evidence of his Moslem/not born here/French/Socialist/Fascist/Antichrist nature.
Gee, a hot sauce from Mexico (apparent origin of the current swine flu) and a mustard from those Frenchies...gee those Bushes are un-American.
I checked my fridge and my dijon mustard is made in USA--maybe the problem is calling it Dijon instead of Dijon-style--like the way Champagne can only be from that region in France, but Champagne style or sparkling wines can be from anywhere.
Do the people reporting this have lives? Guess not, if they're Republicans. I would think that there are relevant news items that impact real lives they could be reporting since they are in Washington DC--but they're just too lazy.
From reading some comments at non-left sites I think I have figured out the racist purpose of 'Dijongate'.
If one assumes negros are inferior then they could not be sophisticated enough to appreciate any thing more than the most basic of condiments. Obama probably would have been happier to have been eating watermellon.
So Obama's mustard preference is just an example of him acting uppity and 'apeing' a sophistication that it is impossible for him to have. And what could be more pretentious than pretending French pretentiousness?
Dijon mustard? Oh, in other words real mustard.
