NEWS FLASH: The President likes Dijon mustard on his cheeseburgers! News at 11!
How does this piece of insignificant trivia become the centerpiece of the evening news? It even has a name: Dijongate. Conservative pundits are frothing at the mouth. The president likes spicy mustard! He's not fit to be president! It's like O'Reilly and Hannity and Limbaugh and the rest of them are all throwing up their hands and saying "That's all we've got." If this is the worst thing Obama's critics have to complain about, then America is in pretty good shape.
