Unless they changed the law, she isn’t allowed to accept such gifts. The democrats came down on Nancy Reagan for accepting apparel gifts, so the law was extended to the White House.

= . __Earlier in the day, the first family served lunch at So Others Might Eat in Washington. The soup kitchen opened in the 1970s and now serves more than 1,000 men, women and children each day. Mrs. O kept her look casual, sporting cropped pants, a blue cardigan and her purple Converse as she served lunch.t\THEY ARE HIPOCRATES

Really? Then I guess it would be good to find out ‘how’ she got the outfit. Hmm. Didn’t sound like the designer was surprised.

You know, to really be a snob, you have to have something to be snobbish about. He’s a con-snob!

Every dog I’ve ever owned has had more class than our current First Lady. As a kid in Nogales, I once caught a gila monster that was better attired in its natural skin than she is in her $700 shoes and thousands of dollars outfits. She’s the class of third world backwater dictatorship wives.

$2700? I saw better looking stuff at Good Will last weekend (where I was volunteering a few hrs). Seriously, I could go there tomorrow and pick up something that looked better for maybe $10.

Well, just goes to show that recessions, unemployment, belt-tightening, and sacrifices are for "the little people." Nice to see our elitist leaders are taking it in stride.

She is such a greedy little bee-itch.

Not only that, but she really doesn't have much fashion sense whatsoever. When she went to the G8 last year in Rome, she dressed so badly she looked like the hired help, or like some rube just in from the sticks:

The best expression is that of Mara Carfagna, on the right as you look at the image, who seems utterly incredulous that someone would have brought the nanny to such a first-order photo-op. Filippa Reinfeldt, in the centre, is doing a pretty decent job of putting on that self-effacing sense of Scandinavian tact, but she still looks as if she's covertly trying to figure out who "dealt it." The most poised, of course, is Margarita Zavala, the wife of the Mexican President; considering that she has to put up with effing ugly Yankees - usually of the worst liberal sort - all the time at home, I'm not surprised that she was able to retain her composure so well - protocol violations like the one Michelle is wearing just have to be par for the course if you're from Mexico or Canada.

You’re absolutely right. You can’t buy class.

Designers have SERIOUSLY run out of ideas. Moschino has just copied Chanel......and added length. Nothing new.
