Her impeccable dress sense has been praised throughout the world.

So it was no surprise that Michelle Obama managed to be stylish and show respect to her Muslim hosts when she visited a mosque on her tour of Indonesia.

The First Lady covered her hair with a beige animal-print scarf as she toured Jakarta's Istiqlal Mosque, the largest in southeast Asia.

If it were me, I would refused to even go.

BTW, was there ever really an Office of Protocol, like the Goldie Hawn movie? She sure could use it!

Please. You have to include a "barf alert" when you post these stories. I had to reach for the trash can after I read the first sentence.

This is the kind of nonsense people in the SRM have to churn out if the papers they work for are to have any hope of getting interviews with left-wing leaders like Obama.

Republicans don't enforce that kind of arbitrary control of access, and we all know the result.

Yeah it's brutal, yeah it's nasty. But it works.

It’s that jihadi look that’s so in fashion these days.
She left her other fashion accessories in the limo (AK47) and ammo belt belt.
