Jim Sensenbrenner sorry for 'big butt' quip
Politico ^ | 22 Dec 2012 | MACKENZIE WEINGER

Posted on 12/22/2011 10:44:49 AM PST by SkyPilot

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner sent a note of apology Thursday to Michelle Obama for referring to her “large posterior” and “big butt,” his spokesperson told POLITICO.

Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) was overheard talking about the first lady’s healthy food initiative — and her “large posterior” — on Wednesday in the Delta Crown lounge at Reagan National Airport, FishbowlDC reported. The representative was recounting a recent conversation he’d had at a Wisconsin Episcopal church and said loudly on the phone that Obama “lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself,” according to Fishbowl.

On Thursday, Sensenbrenner said in a statement, “I regret my inappropriate comment and I have sent a personal note to the first lady apologizing.”

"Everyone knows Moochelle is a HUGE liability."

At least she is BEHIND her husband.

I agree with you! Further in the story it goes on to say he did a charity thing with her and she stayed only as long as the photographers were there. What a witch and so phony!

I regret that he apologized - THAT was his mistake, NOT the fact that he told us the emperor has no clothes.

Why do Republicans ALWAYS play nice and apologize, ESPECIALLY when they were RIGHT?

I know!!! It's so galling!!
It would be so nice to have just one of them come out and say something,and stand by it,and be totally unapologetic!

By the way, Col.West-sure wish you'd run for POTUS!

He is speaking the truth. No need to apologize for that.

Methinks such quips are inappropriate. While certainly not skinny, and while a poor juxtaposition with her “Let’s Move” stuff, she’s not huge and not worthy of such particular crass insults. As the lead photos depict, many of those hurtling such criticism would do well to first consider their own considerable girth.

That said, there is plenty to criticize her for, beginning with her lack of adherence to dietary restrictions she seeks to impose on the rest of us.

Jim Sensenbrenner:

Michelle, I’m so sorry for saying you have a large butt. I should have said you had lots of junk in the trunk as that would be putting it in today’s vernacular...

BTW, Love that picture. Her posterior is larger than the widest part of that pencil necked geek she’s next to.

I think in a roundabout way this is the point that Sensenbrenner was trying to make.

Rereading the article, I realized that. I was responding more to the plethora of gratuitous insults. Sensenbrenner need not apologize, as he was noting a factual juxtaposition, not making a crass insult.
