LT, in re Michelle's dress:

Perhaps Reggie is now in charge of wardrobe?

Not only are "those people" reputed to be highly creative and style-savvy, but there's always the off chance that Reggie considers Michelle a rival of sorts. The dear boy might not want her to look too good.

Say, my FRiends, WTF is GW, not to mention Laura, doing on this trip?

GW, questions:
(1) are preaching on Gay Marriage and Global Warming to rather uninterested Africans really the best use of your retirement time?
(2) Are you and Laura the "beards" for another Reggie-Barry hookup?
(3) Are you aware, GW, that this junket is budgeted at $100 Million?

Can we forget the salacious gossip now and concentrate on handing the Mombasa MF and Team OIbama a severe comeuppance in the elections of '14?
