Screw that marxist pig, and the husband she rode in on.

The dress is stunning, but not on her. Too long in the front, too.

The second photo’s revealing. The prez walks in front—by three paces?

Rush Limbaugh said that this dinner was being held outside in a tent. Is that it?

Your right. While the country starves, she puts on designer dresses. Piss on her- and the train she rode in on.
