Once again, Sarah Palin tried to make a funny, couldn’t keep the FLOTUS’ name out of her mouth, and wound up looking like a dummy.
Sarah Palin took a shot at First Lady Michelle Obama about breastfeeding Thursday – and wound up looking like a boob.
Riffing on Obama’s recent recommendation that moms breastfeed their babies, the self-styled Mama Grizzly cracked, “It’s no wonder Michelle Obama is telling everybody you need to breast feed your babies … the price of milk is so high!”
Problem is that babies aren’t supposed to drink cow milk.
Most pediatricians recommend formula – or breast milk – for infants.
Palin, a mother of five, made the crack during an appearance at a Long Island country club.
It came on the heels of another broadside against Obama fired by another Tea Party darling, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R- Minn).
Bachmann accused Obama of meddling with American moms for her quips about the benefits of breastfeeding.
The apparent source of their ire was a remark Obama made during a roundtable talk with reporters last week during which she stated, among other things, “Kids who are breastfed longer have a lower tendency to be obese.”
It’s not the first time Palin has gotten into a food fight with the First Lady.
Last month, an Obama speech about the health virtues of cutting back on sugary desserts got under Palin’s skin.
During an episode of her TLC reality Show, “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” Palin growled, “Where are the s’mores ingredients?”
“This is in honor of Michelle Obama, who said the other day we should not have dessert,” Palin said mockingly as she rummaged through her kitchen cupboards for graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate.
What’s sad is that, yes, these are campaign tactics; and yes, they’re going to win her some votes.
