Media / Michelle Obama Breitbart Website Calls Michelle Obama Fat Political cartoon mocks anti-obesity campaign By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Feb 15, 2011 12:00 PM CST Copied First lady Michelle Obama takes part in Wal-Mart's announcement of a comprehensive effort to provide healthier and more affordable food choices to their customers, Jan. 20, 2011, in Washington. (AP Photo/Cliff Owen) Andrew Breitbart, fresh off the news of Shirley Sherrod's lawsuit against him, has gotten himself embroiled in another controversy. His Big Government website lashed out at Michelle Obama's anti-obesity campaign ... by basically calling her fat. A cartoon strip on the website shows an overweight Obama eating a huge pile of hamburgers while talking to her big-eared husband about the campaign, Salon reports. The punch line—"Shut up and pass the bacon!"—was originally "Shut up and pass the lard!" Media Matters notes. Click to see the cartoon. (More Michelle Obama stories.) Report an error
