In a world... An homage to the late Don LaFontaine ?

While Sarah Palin was speaking to the Republican National Convention Wednesday night, Michelle Obama was hitting two Hollywood fundraisers, giving subtly different messages to different audiences.
Patrick Range McDonald of LA Weekly, who covered the events as the designated pool reporter. Here's his description of the first stop of the night:
Dressed in a purple tank top with a purple floral skirt and black high heels, Obama first addressed a largely gay and lesbian audience at the home of Bryan Lourd, managing partner of Creative Artists Agency (CAA), and Bruce Bozzi, Lourd's companion. The event was described by the Obama campaign as an "LGBT Reception." Approximately 300 donors attended the fund raiser, which took place in the wealthy, Los Angeles neighborhood of Holmby Hills. Minimum contribution for a guest was $1,000 to get through the door. Supporters who raised $25,000 were given access to a VIP room, where Obama met with them and briefly spoke. All money went to the Obama Victory Fund.
Speaking at the fundraiser, Mrs. Obama insinuated that she doesn't think Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is very bright:
Obama then moved on to politics, where she first brought up her husband's vice-presidential choice. "I think it was a really good pick--Senator Joe Biden," she said, and later added, "People say they have amazing chemistry, and it's true." Obama continued with talk about Biden when she said, "What you learn about Barack from his choice is that he's not afraid of smart people." The crowd softly chuckled.
Later, she spoke about gay rights:
Mindful of the audience in front of her, she then touched up gay and lesbian issues. "In a world as it should be," Obama said, "we repeal laws like DOMA (the Defense of Marriage Act) and 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.'" She also said an Obama Administration would "recognize" gay adoption rights. Both lines received loud applause. Later that evening she spoke at a fundraiser at the home of Samuel L. Jackson:
Located in the gated community of Beverly Park Estates South in the city of Beverly Hills, approximately 300 people attended the event. Minimum contribution for a guest was $2,300, with VIP access for supporters who raised $25,000. All money went to the Obama Victory Fund. Another star-studded crowd was on hand. Among the celebrities were actor Denzel Washington, actress and singer Barbra Streisand, actor and Streisand's husband, James Brolin, former Lakers star Magic Johnson, actress Scarlett Johansson, actor Ryan Reynolds, and former California governor Gray Davis. Guests gathered poolside in the backyard of Jackson's home and drank red and white wine. Golden shallot pancakes with brie and fig preserves and grilled vegetable torte bites with roasted pepper sauce were served. Bread & Butter Catering provided the food at both fund raisers.
Even in front of a presumably gay-friendly, left-wing Hollywood audience, part of her earlier remarks were omitted from the second appearance:
Obama did not mention anything about gay issues, but much of the rest of the speech was the same.
She is a black supremacist, marxist, racist, socialist scum covered pus bag! I'd tell you how I really feel but...

sammy is dead to me... forever.

You got that right.
I’d still be hungry and have to go by the drive-through on the way home.
There’s a song there somewhere.......Bertha
My daughter keeps a list of the film stars, singers, entertainers who are liberal and conservative.
We love to go to movies together, but before we do, she carefully checks her list, and if any of the liberal stars are on it, we just don’t go.
We don’t even watch them on t.v., when they come on.
And we tell others. Doing our bit for humanity....
Contrast that to a Palin fundraiser: Guest tailgated outside the hockey rink and drank Labatt's and pale ale. Moose and caribou were shot, grilled, and served.
I have a very strong suspicion that Sarah Palin has never even tasted brie...
There's that phrase again. These two are really full of themselves, aren't they? They'd be laughable if their Marxist vision for this nation "as it should be" weren't so chilling.
Michelle's implication that Sarah's not bright--in contrast to Biden, who (*choke*) is--is a huge mistake if she and her husband actually believe it. And I think I think they do. Remember, Barack said McCain doesn't know who he's dealing with. Oh yes he does.
The Hubris Twins are not going to know what hit them in November.

Whew! For a second there, I thought this was about Michelle Malikin. I was worried we’d lost that raven-haired goddess to the dark side.
Yeah. We can't let these little people stop us from being fat smelly kings! /sarc
Good grief the woman is to old and chunky to be dressing like that. I think Mickey always dresses like a trollop.
So sorry to see Denzel Washington on that list. Thought he was fantastic in the film "Glory," but now he's on my "no see, no pay" list.
“Just so you know, it hurts when coffee comes out one’s nose.”
decaf or he-man?
And dont tell me you were drinking one of those mocha chip frappachinos.

Oh, wow, another state that is meaningless in this election...
