To the hater: First Lady Obama is bringing elegance back (Laff Riot)
The Madison Times ^ | March 2, 2011 | Gail Moore

It shouldn’t surprise me the new levels of hatred that conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh finds each week for his radio show or that there is an audience out here who actually finds him credible.

Like a bully last week, Limbaugh took aim at America’s First Lady Michelle Obama. The former-fat guy criticized the First Lady’s efforts to curb childhood obesity by pointing out her diet and criticized her “Lets Move” campaign which encourages youths to eat more fruit and vegetables and to include exercise in their daily lifestyles. How pathetic, Rush.

Like many, I admire the First Lady and believe she’s an inspiration for women around the world. The First Lady has brought elegance and style back to the White House, a combination that’s been missing for decades. She is counted among the 10 best-dressed women in the world and she’s been compared to former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy due to her sense of style. While Michelle Obama does have access to designer clothes, she’s shown ordinary women that they can shop stylishly from off the rack. The First Lady has brought color and vibrancy to the White House.

The former-fat guy then pointed to the White House Super Bowl party menu as ammunition. Stop! Rush.

If you live in America there’ are basically two very large feasting days — Thanksgiving Day and Super Bowl Sunday — and you tell yourself you’ll control your eating through both. Indulging in either of these events doesn’t contradict the First Lady’s message on fitness, because she’s advocating a lifestyle change — the Super Bowl is a makeup day.

I’m a midwesterner, as is the First Lady, and Super Bowl Sunday parties here in Wisconsin include food, beer, chips and friends getting together having fun. Let me tell you, if you’re invited to a Super Bowl party with wings, burgers, pizza, and bratwurst on the menu, it’s a step up.

Stumbling further into his hater attack, Limbaugh said the First Lady doesn’t project the image of a “Sports Illustrated swimsuit model.” Let me see, the basic requirements for being a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model are that you must be really young, super-thin, be able to pout and stick your butt out for cheeky pictures, and be able to wear a skimpy swimming suit.

The First Lady is a mother of two young children and wife to one of the most powerful men in the world. At age 46, Michelle Obama is fit and she bears her sculpted arms as proof she’s energetic and that she operates on a much higher intellectual level than Limbaugh. A college dropout who flunked all of his classes, Limbaugh is proof that a minimally functioning brain operates on a scary level.

So to the haters: First Lady Michelle Obama is a Princeton University alumni and a Harvard Law School graduate .... try to obtain it if you can. She’s brought style and elegance back to the White House. Women strive to be her and she’s become an inspiration for millions of women of color around the world who share sisterhood in her ebony beauty. Believe it.

In today’s society where women are often the feeder for bad jokes, conservative talk-show insults, and degrading rap lyrics, young girls have a new role model …. one who’s setting standards across the board.

Now roll with it.

Remember, they’ll always be former-fat guy haters and conservative talk show fanatics out there who hate any progress made by women, but to your comfort, just remember they’re operating on a minimally functioning brain level.

In her last paying job, Mrs. Obama made about $300,000 a year shunting uninsured patients to other hospitals.

Last "paying" job or last "bought-and-paid-for" job? Had hubby not been elected to the senate, she certainly wouldn't have been pulling down 300K.

Her job was so important that, when she left, the position wasn't filled.

Our modern princess with “over-the-top” vacations is obliviousness to the economic disaster and middle class suffering her husband has orchestrated in our nation.

Spot on!

Pies and Holidays for me but not for thee
--Michelle Scrooge Obama

Michelle says: Put that meat back in the case. Uh-uh... no soda allowed, put that back, too. Grab some arugula and collards and no more than one turnip... STOP! Put that milk and cheese back, you ain't allowed to eat that! Now, get in your electric mini-car and go home... and remember to watch your thermostat... you know Barack don't want you bein' too hot or too cold and if you don't set it right we'll set it for you from the White Hut. Now, turn off the lights and go to sleep. We'll let you know what to do in the morning.

Jeez, one big socialistic village.

Mooshell is hoping she can have 4 more years of publicly paid multi-million dollar vacations, designer wardrobes, private celebrity entertainment and gormet food.

. She made sure she was never photographed in pants that were so tight her underwear lines shined through. If I recall correctly, she also never sported a camel toe.

I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

The Harvard Crimson recently had a funny article making fun of American journalists who keep trying to make people think she’s a fashion icon like Jackie...

“At age 46, Michelle Obama is fit”

LOL! Fit for what?

OK, it may just be me, but the words “elegance and style” somehow just don’t fit Michelle Obama. My dog wears his coat better than Michelle dresses. (Wait! Did I just insult my dog?! Sorry, Scoobs!)

Note this masterpiece of writing is from the "Madison Times".....penned by a liberal airhead writer working for a liberal rag in a town where the university is one of the top institutions of higher left-learning in the entire nation....a city blessed with a corrupt liberal mayor, over 40,000 student skulls-full-of-mush taught by liberal union teachers backed up by liberal union thugs and a local socialist media.

I have no doubt that this Spatula City reporterette will win a Phewlitzer Prize in the near future for her well-toned, sculptured columns.

Let’s see...

Rush is a bully, a retarded drop out, former fatty, a hater, who somehow with his minimal brain function is scarily getting people to listen to him.

Meanwhile, Michelle is lovely and just a goddess comparable to Jackie Kennedy.

And BTW, don’t forget that conservatives are mean, rotten evil types who call people names. Yep.
