I should like Michelle Obama, but I don't

I know I should like Michelle Obama. But . . . I just don’t.

I can’t! Because, every time I try, I’m snake-charmed back by the pearlised nail varnish and Mars Attacks! hair of the one, the only, the ultimate power cheerleader: Cindy McCain.

It all came to a head the other week when the putative First Fembot bowled through London on her way back to America from Vietnam. (Clearly, heiresses don’t worry about their carbon footprint — just as long as it’s a diamond-studded, snake-skin-heeled stiletto mega-stomp.)

With an Air Force One blow-dry and coral-pink lipstick, the former junior rodeo queen was clearly on a charm offensive. “Oh garsh,” she fluttered when asked about the 71-year-old pepaw — far from being over the hill, he actually “wore her out”, and if campaigning ever got too arduous, she sweetly contented herself with the fact that that she had “a ringside seat on American history”. The general impression was that Mrs McCain, in the style of Laura Bush and Nancy Reagan, doesn’t really want to be First Lady at all, and is, instead, rather looking forward to getting back to her diamonds and the delights of the Dallas Crystal Charity Ball once her husband has got this highfalutin political jiggery-pokery out of his system.

John McCain embarrassed by aide's terror gaffe The more John McCain is right on Iraq, the more he loses How much more reassuring than Michelle Obama, who comes from the “I’ve got a leather skirt, I’ve got a leather Birkin bag, I’ve got a PhD in whupass” school of political wifery. We’ve only just got rid of Chony and Billary, for pity’s sake, and here we are again with yet another twinkly-eyed charisma merchant whose gobby wife can barely stop herself from grabbing the microphone.

McCain and the C word is right up there with Bush and massive cocaine use in the unproven gospel of the Left. Anonymous sources in a McCain hit piece book do not equal credibility.

Thinking conservatives who have been paying attention are aware of this, they aren’t out spreading the Big Lie. Why are you doing so?

Please see post #79 I posted earlier.

Being polite gets you far in life, as the poster saw who answered me politely.

And how do you get I was spreading anything? I was quoting the article that was posted.

Mz. Long seems to be a singularly unpleasant person. Of course she adores Michelle Obama, that Princeton/Harvard chip on her shoulder is stunning.

I can assure you, women called Camilla who write for the “Style” section of the Times are not proletarian, by any stretch of the imagination.

Vapid, elitist and completely pointless, yes, but never proletarian.

ah!

The proper term for the counterattack you will get when ‘unfairly’ criticizing (i.e., pointing out things that are true and damaging) BO and MO:

blacklash

I think Michele is,like most black people,a true chameleon.In other words,she culturally adapts to her environment.
When in the church chopping it up with the sisters after a rollicking Wright speech and then being oh so proper at one of Mayor Daley’s official city receptions filled with white muckety mucks.
I think she is just another round the way girl who lucked out with a good education and an ambitious husband and she is going to ride that gravy train to the fullest!
