Matt Philbin, the managing editor of the Media Research Center’s Culture & Media Institute, is unusually sleazy for a right-wing activist — you might remember him, for example, sliming Sandra Fluke as a “horizontal laborer” and a “Lincoln Tunnel Hitcher.”
Well, he’s at it again. In an Aug. 6 tweet, Philbin made a thinly veiled attack on both Michelle Obama’s looks and her healthy-eating efforts, writing, “Michelle’s gonna fight obesity thru hip-hop — a music who’s arguably most famous lyric is “I like big butts.”
We’d complain about how Philbin continues to hold a job at the MRC, but it appears being a jerk is a mandatory job function — after all, his boss has called President Obama a “skinny ghetto crackhead.”
