Then-first lady Michelle Obama serving a steak to a soldier at an airbase in Ramstein, Germany on Nov. 11, 2010.


: “Lobstergate” only proved that not one of the on-air geniuses, nor any of their writers or producers, knows a thing about military life.

All the smug fury was based on a news item — from noted military journalism site TMZ! — about the Defense Department spending $22 million on lobster and ribeye steak in a single month.

If they’d bothered to check the (transparently idiotic!) assumption that all the eats were for the top brass, they’d have learned that a “surf & turf” fete is a longstanding military tradition, a treat for troops headed to a deployment or stuck on an extended tour, with all the gastrointestinal joy that a diet of MREs can deliver.
