God O Mighty! Is this the way that our first lady should act? No class.... Just as$...
They are both low class. They are termites in the WH.
I’ve nver considered poetry to be a fun-filled event.. hey. maybe it’s just me.
I love poetry, but these people were invited for political reasons and not for their work.
Billy Collins is actually a good poet; however, he is a raving leftist who also spent some time writing screeds against George Bush (even though he was named Poet Laureate by Bush, IIRC), and is utterly devoted to Bambi. Rita Dove is, frankly, lousy and if she weren’t a politically correct black academic who writes poems about her private parts would never have been noticed in the world (or been named Poet Laureate by Clinton). Most of the other “poets” seem to have been people who are professionally black; that is, they have made a profession out of the color of their skin.
Calling that poetry is like calling bird poop on a car a hood ornament.
” I once thought that Michele My Belle was smart”
One key clue to me that she wasn’t was during the nomination process when she never recognized her mother , even though she was in the audience.
No common decency
Told me a lot about it’s all about her, and what she can get, or what she wants - she wants - and no one should stand in the way.
