    2. Expressing or suggesting sadness; plaintive.

The plangent whimpers of summer will be here this weekend with a predicted high of 76 degrees. I fear that it will be followed promptly by brisk winds and perhaps snow, which they are seeing today in the rockies. Soon to be in NY.

Obama, the fanciful tan gent
Speaks with a voice clear and plangent
When the teleprompter dies
He’s reduced to his lies
And rhetoric, when off on a tangent

Her clothes are just plangently aweful!

How does the left so blatantly delude themselves that “she’s beautiful because everybody says she’s beautiful and so fashionable? “

Are they so blind that they cannot see?

The Plangents were the forerunners of the Tudors in Britain.

Angry, frumpy, and spoiled by AA is no way to go through life.

Gloomy and 78 here, with intermittent sprinkles-

Many of us knew all along
That Obamacare isn’t “free”
Now, Obama’s sacred unions
Are saying “oh no-not me”...

Their plangent howls just fall
On our gleefully listening ears-
As the emperor’s old sales pitch
No longer plays to Hoffa’s fears

They get no sympathy from most-
Just some schadenfreude instead-
They got just what they voted for-
Let them shut up and get in the bed

No fashion sense + clueless handlers with worse taste = a hot mess in ridiculous clothes...

She always looks like she got dressed in the middle of a Ross dress-for-less aisle in the dark...

That one looks like someone hired blind people to sew up various remnants into a dress.
