Thursday, Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis) sent a note of apology to Michelle Obama for referring to her “large posterior” and “big butt,” his spokesperson told Politico.
On Wednesday, Sensenbrenner was overheard talking about the First Lady’s healthy food initiative and her “large posterior” in the Delta Crown lounge at Reagan National Airport, FishbowlDC reported. The representative was overheard speaking loudly on the phone about his recent conversation at a Wisconsin Episcopal church, where he had said of Obama, “lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself.”
Sensenbrenner had made his initial comment about the First Lady at St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church in Hartford, Wis. on Dec. 10. Ann Marsh-Meigs, a 72-year old member of the church, said the congressman sat with her and several other parishioners for some small talk during the church’s Christmas bazaar. In an interview Marsh-Meigs said in an interview, “ He implied that Michelle Obama being interested in childhood obesity was not serious, he sort of made fun of it and then he made fun of her. He said something like, look at her big butt.” — Politico.
This follows Rush Limbaugh’s comments February: “The problem is, and dare I say this, it doesn’t look like Michelle Obama follows her own nutritionary [sic], dietary advice … I’m trying to say that our first Lady does not project the image of women that you might see on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue or of a woman Alex Rodriguez might date every six months or what have you.” Huffington Post.
When you consider the obvious ample, rotund forms of Sensenbrenner and Limbaugh, I would suggest that they have their heads up their own oversized and, in their cases, misshaped butts.
