I should like Michelle Obama, but I don't
TimesOnline.co.uk ^ | 7/6/08 | Camilla Long

I know I should like Michelle Obama. But . . . I just don’t.

I can’t! Because, every time I try, I’m snake-charmed back by the pearlised nail varnish and Mars Attacks! hair of the one, the only, the ultimate power cheerleader: Cindy McCain.

It all came to a head the other week when the putative First Fembot bowled through London on her way back to America from Vietnam. (Clearly, heiresses don’t worry about their carbon footprint — just as long as it’s a diamond-studded, snake-skin-heeled stiletto mega-stomp.)

With an Air Force One blow-dry and coral-pink lipstick, the former junior rodeo queen was clearly on a charm offensive. “Oh garsh,” she fluttered when asked about the 71-year-old pepaw — far from being over the hill, he actually “wore her out”, and if campaigning ever got too arduous, she sweetly contented herself with the fact that that she had “a ringside seat on American history”. The general impression was that Mrs McCain, in the style of Laura Bush and Nancy Reagan, doesn’t really want to be First Lady at all, and is, instead, rather looking forward to getting back to her diamonds and the delights of the Dallas Crystal Charity Ball once her husband has got this highfalutin political jiggery-pokery out of his system.

John McCain embarrassed by aide's terror gaffe The more John McCain is right on Iraq, the more he loses How much more reassuring than Michelle Obama, who comes from the “I’ve got a leather skirt, I’ve got a leather Birkin bag, I’ve got a PhD in whupass” school of political wifery. We’ve only just got rid of Chony and Billary, for pity’s sake, and here we are again with yet another twinkly-eyed charisma merchant whose gobby wife can barely stop herself from grabbing the microphone.

"Mike" Obama hopes to be President someday. She's the Black Hillary, without the charm & pantsuit...

That’s my thought about both of them. They’re Bubba and Hillary without the messed-up marriage. Oh, yeah, and Bubba, damn him, actually brought more experience to the table than Barry does.

I once saw the contest a few months ago summed up this way.

One candidate is a laywer, whose wife is a bitch, and a lawyer.

The other candidate is lawyer, and a bitch, whose husband is a lawyer.

The third is a war hero, whose wife owns a beer distributorship.

Any questions?

I see this article repeats the 1992 “McCain Unprintable Insult” rumor, yet again. Of all things that could possibly be relevant, an off-hand remark from 16 years ago that almost certainly never occured is on this idiot’s top ten of things to report.

Try as I might, I could not divine this author’s point. I think she was just filling space to meet a contractual obligation, because I could not make sense of the thing.

But one thing that I do know is that Michelle Obama makes me long for the good ol’ days of Hillary.

Poor Michelle....
Even with all the Affirmative Action “education” and unearned taxpayer’s money in her back account — she still doesn’t amount to a blackhead on a real lady’s ass.

This is a very easy decision. I do not want a first lady in the Whitehouse who is not very, very, sure sh is proud of our great nation!!!!!!!!!!!!
This want-to-be first lady leaves much to be desired, in fact she leaves everything to be desired!!!!!!!
Why would anyone want her in the Whitehouse. Except for being black neither her or her husband nave any qualifications for presidential or first lady duties.

There wasn't one. It was just mindless drivel.

“I know I should like Michelle Obama.”

Why “should” you, Camilla?

Is it because you are a self-hating white liberal, normally intimidated by MObama’s typically black, in-your-face, pereptual-chip-on-shoulder stance.

At least the author didn’t mention the Cindy’s drug habit and the pain meds she stole from the charity boxes.

Michele is one angry black woman. She probably beats Obama up at the end of the day. Throwing lamps is nothing compared to what this angry woman is capable of.

I can't say I'm impressed with this writer:

Last paragraph excerpt from link:

Nor could you make up this report in the New York Review of Books: “In 1992, after Cindy McCain teased her husband about his thinning hair, McCain snapped at her, in front of the reporters and two staffers: ‘At least I don’t plaster on the make-up like a trollop, you c***.’ ” Now that’s what I call showbusiness. For ugly people.

Shane Watson is away

I'm actually surprised the author doesn't like Michele.

BTW, take a look at the grammar:

“For ugly people”. Not even a complete thought. In the old days we called this a fragment. Also "showbusiness" is incorrectly written. It should be show business or show-business. The word "make-up" is correctly written makeup. Using a spell checker would stop these spelling errors. In the old days we didn't highlight foul language either. What passes for journalism today is atrocious. I'm not a journalist and even I NOTICE these grammatical errors.

Naw, Michelle is just as tiresome as the Hildabeast. The problem is her “worldview” doesn’t get much beyond Trinity UCC where she is a Queen Bee.

The only difference between the two is Michelle doesn’t have any problem wearing a skirt and makeup, but otherwise, neither of them would hesitate cutting my throat in a New York minute.

Wow. It takes a lot of practice and anger to develop a frown and brow furrows as fearsome as Michelle’s, esp. at her young age. She’s scary, even if the “Whitey tape” never comes to light.
