WASHINGTON –  Squirrels are living high on the hog thanks to the government stalemate – feasting on tomatoes from the First Lady’s beloved White House garden while federal gardeners remain idle.

With the shutdown entering its third week, the Park Service gardeners who normally tend the mushrooms, peppers, squash and other tasty items have only been permitted to water the plants.

Under the peculiar rules in effect, they are not allowed to rake or weed or even mow the grass.

Even the shutdown has affected Michelle Obama's garden. The squirrels are eating the garden.

Heaven forbid the First Lady take care of "her" garden.  Why is watering exempt?  How did watering the White House vegetable garden become an essential duty?

If it's "Her" garden, why doesn't she get off her fat, pampered ass and do the work herself?
