You're right...I definitely don't get the whole "let's be bitchy about Michelle's clothes" thing. I don't have a clue why that would make any conservative feel good about their self, especially since they would have bemoaned leftists saying the same things about Mrs. Bush. I just don't understand the hypocrisy, pettiness or vindictiveness. And I don't see how it's supposed to help the conservative cause.
I totally understand though how anyone that read one of these kinds of threads on FR might think "Wow those Freepers, what a bunch of pissy, bitchy, small-minded, whiners."
