No, not a joke (at least in the traditional sense).

Via The Independent:

Last week: film. This week: fashion. Doubling down on a strategy which incites critics as much as it seems to excite supporters, Barack Obama will devote part of yet another busy week to soliciting endorsements and campaign dollars from Americas A-list.

The President will attend a series of high-profile fundraisers with key figures from the fashion industry, led by Anna Wintour, the British-born editor of Vogue magazine, who yesterday was tipped as a possible future candidate for US Ambassador to London.

Speculative reports suggest that Wintour, 62, is a candidate to succeed Louis Susman, America’s representative in the UK, who is set to retire later this year. The formidable editor, who inspired The Devil Wears Prada, has been named a “top bundler” for Obama, having raised more than half a million dollars for his “Victory Fund.”

There has been something going around conservative talk that this book “The Amatuer” author Klein or someone said that Obama’s ‘talks’ with imaginary persons made up by him is like Norman Bates talking to his mother.

I have been unable to find the quote or who said it?

Great, A dual loyalty foreigner. Then again, perhaps the perfect Ambassador for an administration that celebrates America’s decline.

Given that she was the model for “The Devil Wears Prada”, I think she would be proud to have the new title, “Her Excellency, the Ambassador to Hell”.

No freaking way she should ever make it through the Senate confirmation process.

By the time she unpacks her Prada cargo trunks, she’ll be packing them back up.

In a sane world this thread title would be the punchline of some sick joke.

I think he should name someone from Guns and Ammo or Cycle magazine.

Almost as bad as FDR sending over Joe Kennedy. On second thought, this is worse.

Give her a real job; Ambassador to Afghanistan or Pakistan. That would put the crown jewel on the Obama regime.

That's the point of this. She was the actual model, and then Streep portrayed her as Hillary. So now, in Liberal-Association-Land, Obama doing this with Wintour is Obama fronting Hillary and all Hillary-wannabees out there.

I wish I was joking. But if you study that explanation carefully, you'll understand how liberal women actually "think" - and why trying to discuss anything with them is an utter waste of time.

Oh and one more thing - Bill recently said he wanted Streep to portray Hillary in a movie. So you see, with that, the meme instruction circle is complete, and liberal women are at peace with their instructions.
