Also known as “junk in the trunk”.

Love Mrs. S’s coat! Mrs. O once again looks like she is wearing the couch. Even bow-legged women can stand with their ankles together.

That’s not the Bitter One. He was responding to a post about Venus Williams...

You are correct sir. I have the decency not to mention the First Lady's colossal junk in the trunk, but since Chris brought it up, I do have a few observations to share: Michelle's handlers and an obediant press corps are so focused on always putting Michelle in the best light, that they have gone out of the way to make sure she is never photographed from behind. She is also kept away from embarassing photo ops (or the cameras are kept away from her). The only time she has been photographed wearing slacks as FLOTUS was the time she built the vegetabale garden with the school kids. There are no photos of her bending over a shovle. And where as she at the beach when we got to see all of those cheesecake photos of her husband, the candidate? The kids were there.

To be honest, I really don't care what the First Lady looks like. If the President is doing his job, she could look like Hillary Clinton, for all I care. But as long is the press keeps trying distract us from all the mistakes her husband keeps making by fawing over the "New Jackie Kennedy," I have no choice but to call them like I see them. Personally, I don't think Jackie Kennedy was ever all that attractive. But Jackie Kennedy came from money. She was brought up and schooled in how to be ladylike, how to have taste. Michelle Obama can never hope to match that. Just like someone who moved to the United States at her age could never hope to master a perfect American speaking accent. Plus, Michelle Obama says herself that she loves to eat, and she hates to work out. That's OK, but that doesn't jibe with the goddess persona in our culture. She is what she is, and I'm OK with that. I think she is too. It bothers me when liberals start telling me she is what she's not. Remember when Chelsea Clinton was the "New JFK Jr.?"

Perfect case of the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes.

Exactly how I translated that comment.

I'm kind of thinking Michelle was out of her league.

I totally agree!
