What’s on pages 4 & 5 of Us Weekly’s Palin-bashing issue? (“Michelle’s Campaign Style")
MichelleMalkin.com ^ | 9/8/2008 | Michelle Malkin

I scanned the pages of Us Weekly magazine over the weekend.

As if there were any doubt about how much of an Obama propagandist vehicle Us has become, behold: “Michelle’s Campaign Style.” We learn that “Michelle’s style can best be described as ‘timeless’ and that she prefers ‘festive jewel-toned dresses.’” We learn that she “possesses a natural and unpretentious sophistication” and that she “has the grace and beauty of a dancer” whether she’s wearing her “silk faille Moschino jacket,” or the “teal silk Narcisco Rodriguez dress.” On August 23, Us Weekly informs its millions of readers, “Michelle rocked a printed cotton poplin Moschino wrap dress.” And “on the night Barack, 47, accepted that nomination for the presidency,” we are told, “Michelle glowed in a silk radzimir kimono dress from Thakoon:

Michelle Obama = Beautiful gazelle in simple and chic designer fabrics!

Sarah Palin = Scary, right-wing scandal-plagued caribou killer!

Nope, no bias here. Perhaps Us Weekly’s editors will argue, as MSNBC execs have argued, that they aren’t left-leaning political hacks in Hollyweird gossip rag clothing. They just have “passion and point of view.”

Michelle can afford it with her $300,000 hospital managerial salary, which doubled after hubby was elected Senator. To the victor the spoils, it seems.

I keep covering up US at the newsstand/checkout by picking a Palin-friendly mag cover and “accidentally” replacing it over that trash.

Next to the graceless, scornful, America-hating sourpuss Michelle Obama, Sarah Palin is a breath of fresh air, and a mynx besides.

And it has nothing to do with skin color.

This would still be true if Michelle Obama were white and Sarah Palin were black, green, purple, any color.

wasnt it the libs who were bashing Cindy for her $300,000 dress for the convention? How come they havent asked Obama how much her dresses cost? They are probably donated which would make them campaign contributions. no?

she “has the grace and beauty of a dancer”

Gimme a break. Michelle O is round-shouldered, slouching and ungainly. She looks like a female version of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Honestly.

LOL. It might be better to put some really boring mag in front of it, Foreign Affairs Monthly or the like.

And “on the night Barack, 47, accepted that nomination for the presidency,” we are told, “Michelle glowed in a silk radzimir kimono dress from Thakoon:

Is that another term for wearing a "dress" that made her look like a cheap hooker? Absolutely no modesty, while her husband is giving the most important speech of his life.

LOL! Silk - I’m surprised PETA isn’t enraged and championing the lowly worm (I mean the silk worm, not her husband).

Come on now! How do you expect them to remake her into the black Jackie Kennedy if you keep blabbing that “truth” stuff?

festive jewel-toned dresses...GAG

What style? That little black and white sundress she wore on the view was worn by 6 coeds in my niece's graduating class. Also, seen on numerous teen and 20 somethings around Boston.

She's trying to copy Jackie O's style... bulletin... Jackie O would have worn a weskit jacket with that number.
