When the liberal media heard the Pentagon had spent $22 million on lobster, all heck broke loose.
Until they realized that Maine’s favorite dish was actually for the troops and not for military brass.
The New York Post editorialized Thursday about the idiot late-night TV comedians who accused Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth of treating himself and his commander cohorts to a multi-million dollar crustaceous extravaganza.
As it turns out the seafood dinners were actually for troops leaving on deployment.
“Late-night “comedians” Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert and Seth Myers, along with Paul Begala and other CNN blowhards, went big for a pseudo-story Wednesday, raging about Hegseth and other Pentagon bigs supposedly eating high on the hog,” the NY Post editorial board wrote.
“Lobstergate,” the board wrote, “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 fake-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,” the board said, “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.”
