Politics and the White House vegetable garden -- again

Sean Hannity of Fox News is complaining about the timing of an episode of The Biggest Loser in which the weight-loss contestants visit the White House vegetable garden -- on election night.

The contestants harvested some vegetables from the garden, alongside White House chef and vegetable garden overlord Sam Kass, and made a healthy dish on the episode.

Meanwhile, the Democrats and the Obama administration were losing a couple of governorships.

"You know, I think there could have been a more fitting night to air this episode, but I guess not," he writes.

Since the episode aired after the polls were closed, it isn't clear what has Hannity's shorts in a bunch.

What is clear is that not all the cabbage heads are in the garden.

Here are some pictures of The Biggest Losers at the White House.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
