Michelle, you gotta big mouth! :-)

I still can’t understand why she gets so much money from a hospital for doing so little. That jump in pay had to be related to a government ‘earmark’ Barry funneled to that hospital. This really should be investigated.

She works in Chicago. Obama is well connected to the Chicago political machine. The jump in salary is similar to Hillary's killing in cattle futures.

It will never be investigated because the man who should be looking in to this has been far too busy putting Republicans in jail. Our federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald (he of the Valerie Plame game) has no time for this sort of thing.

Mark is hilarious, like a sober PJ O’Rourke, if you can imagine that.

They really have had her on a short leash as of late.

Like Mrs. Clinton in 1992 after she made her comments about "Two for the price of one" and "I wasn't going to sit around and bake cookies".

Why .. I .. don't know what you're talking about. I was just sitting here .. having lunch with .. Jim Ro .. Mark Ste .. MICHELLE MALKIN! That's right. I was having lunch with the beautiful Michelllle Malkin.

If all Obama was being a feel-good guy, he would win by a landslide. But given what we know now, in view of what his wife has said and the other people in his life, it raises questions not just about the value of therapeutic healing in politics but ultimately, about his allegiance to America.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Do you remember Eddie Murphy's album Raw? Do you remember the part about his uncle's new wife: "She's a goonie goo goo. I know he shaves her down and passes her off. But, I know she's a goonie goo goo."

Then, he talks about how the uncle takes the wife fishing and she sticks her head in the water to catch the fish like a bear would.

Gotta ping the parody:

Fortunately, none of that seems to mean anything in real English, though it has the makings of a totalitarian therapeutic rewrite of “Put on a Happy Face”:

Gray skies are gonna push off
Move out your comfort zone
Barack will work your tush off
Move out your comfort zone
Give up your gloomy lives so uninvolved
It’s not allowed
Barack requires every one involved
So join the crowd . .

That woman is butt-ass ugly! Steyn needs his eyes examined if ol’ Bessie is attractive to him.

I never thought that I would see a spouse of a presidential candidate who was more of a radical, narcissistic, arrogant, hubristic, self-entitled, and maddening solipsist than Hilary Clinton. To the nation’s dismay, I think we have found her in Michelle Obama. She is the loose cannon Benito Mussolini face of liberal fascism that Barack Hussein Obama is so careful to hide. Barack Obama is more practiced at keeping the mask up. But in the liberal Hyde Park ghetto that she lives in Chicago, attending cocktail parties with her coterie of liberal U of C academics, Black South Side DemonRat pols, public sector sinecures, NGO flacks and liberal Sun Times columnists, EVERBODY she knows thinks and feels this way.

Michelle LaVaughn Robinson Obama’s resentments toward her country and its citizens were undoubtedly nourished by the effect that her set-aside affirmative action appointment to Princeton had on her. It would appear that she was unable to reconcile her black cultural nationalist/separatist philosophy with her tenure at Princeton, a place for which she was wholly unsuited by dint of preparation and talent, if her poorly written senior thesis is any indication. Rather than appreciating the AA slack cut her by the lib profs, she chose to lash out at what she saw as condescension and maybe some pity from them. She felt that she didn’t belong and she probably didn’t, but her racial sensitivity antenna read racism and bigotry rather that contemptuous pity. Her artificially inflated ego couldn’t stand that and she has mutated an enormous shoulder chip ever since.

Now we can only hope that the Barack He who must not be middle named Obama campaign does not muzzle her and deprive the GOP of a priceless asset. Bur from what I hear that is a dangerous proposition for any worker in that campaign. She appears to be as unmanageable and ornery as the Hildabeast.

If “DIVERSITY” truly were diverse, there would be some white corporate people in charge of Diversity at their companies. There would also be a majority of white NBA coaches since Blacks are, after all, a minority, not a majority.

That's a great article you linked to. I loved this paragraph (emphasis mine):

But she did not leave corporate America. She did leave the corporate law firm that hired her out of Harvard Law School, but there is no reason to believe that idealism drove that decision. The major law firms make partners out of a fifth of their new hires, who slave for years for the opportunity. Michelle Obama was not partner material for a top firm. She took more than a year to pass the Illinois Bar Examination, a substandard result, and - as her thesis makes clear - lacked the command of written English required for legal success. Her skills were better suited to the hospital position she eventually filled. Not only did she sell out, but she sold out for mediocre results.

You'll only hear that from the Asia Times.
