Let's say you're preparing dinner and you realize with dismay that you don't have any certified organic Tuscan kale. What to do?
Here's how Michelle Obama handled this very predicament Thursday afternoon:
The Secret Service and the D.C. police brought in three dozen vehicles and shut down H Street, Vermont Avenue, two lanes of I Street and an entrance to the McPherson Square Metro station. They swept the area, in front of the Department of Veterans Affairs, with bomb-sniffing dogs and installed magnetometers in the middle of the street, put up barricades to keep pedestrians out, and took positions with binoculars atop trucks. Though the produce stand was only a block or so from the White House, the first lady hopped into her armored limousine and pulled into the market amid the wail of sirens.

Egregious enough for even the Washington Post to report. You’d think she’d have the good sense to send a staffer. Shoot, they could even flash images of the stuff to her over a cell phone.
I think I am going to vomit.
How much did that cost???
Lordy.
Michelle descends upon a market in Washington and holds up traffic for several hours.
She makes Marie Antoinette look like a hard-nosed realist.
Sheesh!
When people who can’t find a job and are surviving off the food shelf watch this extravagantly privileged person lecturing them on how to eat, I think Pelosi is right. God forbid but we are going to see some extreme violent if the Obama agenda isn’t stopped.
What was she wearing?
The traffic had just better be advised that Her Highness will be out there every Thursday!
At least she keeps it a local affair, and so most of the country is spared Michelle-weariness. How much more gagulous would this circus be if it were televised and reported all over the country?
Noting unusual. Blue jeans and a lei of orange flowers. Pretty much what most people wear to the shops.
lulz the comment section on that story is 12 pages long already
The people who worship her and her empty suit of a husband don’t stop to think that huge gobs of taxpayer money are going into the security and transportation for them to just casually leave the White House like they are regular private citizens. Imagine if the first lady’s last name were Reagan or Bush. This would never be tolerated.
Gagulous, LOL.
I would also have accepted ‘Gagtastic’ and ‘Gagifacient’.
I have no words adequate to convey my contempt for this exercise in pseudo-aristocratic, delusional ostentation.
No Republican first spouse would ever be a celebrity in Washington.
(Things will get interesting if Sarah Palin makes it. First Gentleman Todd Palin will get mobbed as he visits the sporting goods stores in Virginia.)
I hate these people more and more every day.
Rummy, that is priceless
