Hit radio funnyman Rush Limbaugh noted on his program today that Kraft is creating a special new two-tiered Oreo made with both chocolate and vanilla frosting. Being the hit radio funnyman that he is, he immediately infused this latest unimpressive snack unveiling with comical racial politics:

If we as a nation were to answer the question, "What are your two biggest problems?" the response would be "We are fat and broke." Well, you can't have it all, America. But you can be broke and skinnier!
