Alabama high school football coach caught on tapeusing slurs against “fat butt Michelle Obama",

“Fat butt Michelle Obama,” Grisham says. “Look at her. She looks like she weighs 185 or 190. She’s overweight.”

“Big fat gorilla,” a male voice agrees.

“I’m serious,” Grisham continues. “Y’all, our country is, is, is going in the wrong direction.”

“It’s going straight to hell,” another person on the tape adds.

“Things won’t get better until there’s a change in some areas and stuff. And you know what [President Barack Obama's] platform was? Change,” the high school coach points out. “Y’all can get pissed off at me or not. You can go tell the principal, you can call the superintendent and tell her.”

“I don’t believe in queers, I don’t like queers,” he continues. “I don’t hate them as a person but what they do is wrong, it’s an abomination against God. I don’t like being around queers.”

I understand about bigoted rednecks who loathe themselves but... does this guy have ADD too? Where did that unrelated crap about "queers" come from, is that just how football coaches in Alabama end every conversation?

something a leprous Norwegian bridge-troll vomited up. And he could only dream of being with someone as gorgeous, classy, and intelligent as the FLOTUS.

10-1 he's hooked up with some in-bred, dentally challenged, stringy-haired, sub-moronic trailer-park princess...

Or how one feels about gays and lesbians? Seriously, I don't get these people. There is ignorance, and then there is shit faced stupidity and incoherence. Anyway, he does not belong in a public high school teaching young men.

Ok I finally got the link to work and I see that the "link" to Michelle was he was blaming her for the "600 calorie lunches." So he apparently thinks that Michelle has something to do with the content of school lunches. Okay. Well there is no accounting for ignorance I guess.
