EXCERPTS
During a news break, we got but a glimpse of Obama, radiant and sophisticated, touring the Alhambra palace in Granada with youngest daughter, Sasha. Then it was back to our regularly scheduled programmed descent to the bottom of the cultural barrel.

Meanwhile, the real first lady is out charming the world, an ambassador of goodwill wherever she goes. Nothing but love and respect for her during recent visits to Mexico, Russia, Haiti and Spain.
That has to be at least part of the reason perceptions of U.S. leadership worldwide have improved so much since the Obamas moved into the White House -- up from 34 percent in 2008, under the Bush administration, to 51 percent in 2009, according to the U.S. Global Leadership Project.

I’d say Courtland Milloy had the hots for Michelle but this column makes him sound more like a worshipful gay BFF.
Don’t know if “Courtland” is a boy or a girl but I’d bet a dollar that the author is black and if not a woman they gay.
OOPS! Shoulda gone to the link. Sorry ladies.

Radiant & sophisticated Bump
The Princess looked absolutely stunning in a simple yet exquisite sheath with knock down gorgeous shoes. She was the epitome style and grace. I was very impressed with this young woman’s sense of style and decorum.
I saw it too! Must see TV!
These people give us new definitions to everything, including in this case “sofistication”. Which apparently is being pathetic without noticing it.
I'm not Maggie, but here are a few of my favorites of the oh so radiant and sophisticated First Frump.
I only feel safe posting these when the OP has put a barf alert in the thread title. LOL.
Jeepers creepers! Could it be a thong?
Just to help soothe your now-burning retinas, here's a picture of Condi meeting with the King of Spain. Now this is radiant and sophisticated.
See my previous post. I found the clip on youtube.
