Quote of the day

“Seeing as how Michelle is the greatest First Lady we’ve ever known, not to take anything away from the other First Ladies, but I think its so fantastic that she’s tonight’s guest and leads the pack of influentials,” Winfrey told the Daily News.
“I think that we see that Michelle is someone of multi-dimensions, and that you don’t have to be just one thing, you can be many things,” said Diane Sawyer. “In many ways were just getting to know all that she can and will do.”

Sweet! I usually don’t do this, but…I hope your cutting remark leaves a scar. An emotional one, lifelong in nature.

Still chucklin over that one.

Yet another +eleventy!
bikermailman on May 6, 2009 at 11:13 PM
Uh oh. Looks like someone has a crush on Ann Coulter. Whilst typical, I was hoping you’d have a bit more originality.
dcwvu on May 6, 2009 at 11:04 PM
I suppose I could have equated Michelle with a rice cake; sadly that comedy gem had already been coined by someone else.
Bishop on May 6, 2009 at 11:13 PM
Appear? You’re far too kind. Future bagger at the local grocers is far more accurate.
jdkchem on May 6, 2009 at 11:13 PM
So Oprah loves Barack and Michelle. Big whoop. Like someone else said so eloquently today, the day Dick Cheney starts sucking up is the day I crawl in a hole and pull the hole in after me.
Marcus on May 6, 2009 at 11:14 PM
I wonder:
Are these beyond-sycophantic toadies in the media always referring to the Obamas in histrionic superlatives…
… just to show how NOT racist they are???
Overcompensating for something?
rockbend on May 6, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Let’s talk vaguely!
Yes, lets!
She’s just, she’s got it!
Oh I know. She’s just someone of multi-dimensions–
–Yes! And, you know, it shows you can be more than just one thing.
Indeed, and you can be that.
And she definitely is that thing in which you can be a lot of different things. I want to be that.
blatantblue on May 6, 2009 at 11:14 PM
I’m thinking your requirement for being “a real woman in the Democratic Party” and “the greatest first lady ever” is to be Black. Am I right? Black and/or ‘gay’ and that abortion makes her happy? Am I right?
Lourdes on May 6, 2009 at 11:14 PM
You’re welcome. Now if you could just email me some of that banana pudding. You’ve gotten me salivating uncontrollably here!
Loxodonta on May 6, 2009 at 11:15 PM
Yes, I’m emotionally wrecked after having an anonymous middle aged man try and fail at comedy in a desperate bid for his peers’ attention. Devastated, I say.
dcwvu on May 6, 2009 at 11:15 PM
Yeah what K-Head said.

“Seeing as how Michelle is the greatest First Lady we’ve ever known … I think its so fantastic that she’s tonight’s guest and leads the pack of influentials,” Winfrey told the Daily News.
By the looks of her, I would have guessed Oprah’s favorite was Dolly Madison.
Terry_Dyne on May 6, 2009 at 11:15 PM
Michelle Obama is physically unattractive BECAUSE she is psychologically and spiritually unattractive.
Character is the off-putting factor where Michelle Obama is concerned. It also, then, affects how people recoil from her, and thus, how she “looks” which isn’t attractive, at all.
Lourdes on May 6, 2009 at 11:16 PM
Seriously though when Hillary tried to actually “do something” you guys whined about it endlessly.
crr6 on May 6, 2009 at 11:03 PM
In all fairness, having an abomination like ‘Hillary Care’ foisted upon the nation would have the tendency to make people whine.
Bishop on May 6, 2009 at 11:16 PM
Well then at least I know I’ll have a familiar face with you as my trusty associate manager.
dcwvu on May 6, 2009 at 11:16 PM
Been said many times, many ways, by many people: The left are the bigoted racist crowd. To look at people and not see individuals, but groups, is as bigoted as you can get.
bikermailman on May 6, 2009 at 11:17 PM
It’s okay for us to read posts not addressed to us?
Good grief! Now it’s going to take me forever to read these threads.

I hear she traded recipes with Betty Ford

Your continual quest to prove your immaturity has been successful.
Jamson64 on May 6, 2009 at 11:17 PM
Too bad.
If I went around playing with Elmo, Big Bird, and Oscar the Grouch and some little kids, I’d be called a molester.
No media love be there for me.

Well then, like Dubya, I proclaim “Mission Accomplished” — sans the fake fighter pilot costume.

OK, I’ll see your Foxx and raise you a Mikulski. Or a Feinstein. Or a Napolitano. Or…
ddrintn on May 6, 2009 at 11:19 PM
Ahhh…but rightly so. Hillary tried to “do something” really stupid.
soundingboard on May 6, 2009 at 11:19 PM

You feel sort of stupid for saying that while referencing my posts for the fifth time, don’t you?
Bishop on May 6, 2009 at 11:20 PM
Oh yeah, and Betty Friedan. And those beauts in the Clinton Cabinet.
ddrintn on May 6, 2009 at 11:21 PM
It’s numb to the feeling. Has it all the time

of course “young” is relative I guess…

Hah, once we are done tearing up Zero she won’t want to run.
Actually we may want to kick her around a bit as well. Once
zero leaves the office in shame – they won’t be welcome. Anywhere….

bikermailman on May 6, 2009 at 11:23 PM
You’re giving it far too much credit. Recognizing its own stupidity requires at the vary least some measure of intellect.
jdkchem on May 6, 2009 at 11:23 PM
I hear Ogabe came up with a solution for that, in case Chrissy ever loses that tingle
sven10077 on May 6, 2009 at 11:24 PM
The bestest First Lady ever!
Really. Lets review.
Everybody is missing the equation!
———————————-
Michelle OMama Obama is the bestest ever 1St Lady,
because,in the Obama World,and the Liberal World,
its only been,
100 days,so OMama Obama would be the bestest 1St
lady,in that perspective!
Remember,Obama History started when Hopey lifted his
hand off the bible,wait a tic,make that when he did
his redo the second time!(Snark).
canopfor on May 6, 2009 at 11:24 PM
I read that she was handing out food to the needy for the duration of the photo-snapping and her entire appearance there ‘with the needy’ lasted the whopping, laborious time of 38 minutes. Then she and her $540 sneakers returned to her Michelle Land of O and O.
Lourdes on May 6, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Actually, he was a fighter pilot…and the flight suit was real…next.
AUINSC on May 6, 2009 at 11:24 PM
I’d love to share your optimism, but anyone remember FDR? The guy who a lot of oldtimers, and everyone’s history books tell us was the Bestest President Evah? (til now of course)
bikermailman on May 6, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Ironic you say that as you’re referencing me. I guess when you’re over 40, irony takes a back seat to staying up past 9, though. So points for you dude — and I mean that.
dcwvu on May 6, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Good thing I ordered a braille keyboard before I clicked on the link!
jdkchem on May 6, 2009 at 11:25 PM
I’m betting they never had a garden in Chicago. I mean, they had that vacant Rezko lot right next door and all. I’m sure Tony wouldn’t have minded since it was just a worthless piece of ground purchased by Rezko to help subsidize Obama’s mansion deal.
.
Oh, I get it, you actually have to work in the garden. Unless you’re in the WH, of course.
MarkABinVA on May 6, 2009 at 11:26 PM
LOL

blatantblue on May 6, 2009 at 11:26 PM
Can’t argue with that.

jdkchem on May 6, 2009 at 11:25 PM
She looked dumpier, and more angry than she does now! Maybe that’s how she has that, er…look of today.
bikermailman on May 6, 2009 at 11:27 PM
I’m still trying to figure out why they don’t actually have to do something before greatness is bestowed upon them. Of course she did walk her door and plant a veggie garden. Extraordinary – yet, the quiet dignity and grace of Laura Bush matters not.
marnes on May 6, 2009 at 11:27 PM
Well then, like Dubya, I proclaim “Mission Accomplished” — sans the fake fighter pilot costume.
dcwvu on May 6, 2009 at 11:19 PM
That was actually a fake surveillance plane pilot costume, as in the S-3B Viking that Dubya flew onto the carrier.
If you are going to get hysterical, please take care on the facts.
Bishop on May 6, 2009 at 11:27 PM
I’m pretty sure she was just angry her first 110 years to that point had been spent trying to look “good for the camera”….
sven10077 on May 6, 2009 at 11:29 PM
that of course was walk her dog – but with them who knows – maybe door walking is the new cool.
marnes on May 6, 2009 at 11:30 PM
marnes on May 6, 2009 at 11:27 PM
That, and the horrible agenda of helping people to read…as opposed to shutting disadvantaged kids in the Nation’s Capitol out of the chance to rise from the squallor.
bikermailman on May 6, 2009 at 11:30 PM
Ironic you say that as you’re referencing me. I guess when you’re over 40, irony takes a back seat to staying up past 9, though. So points for you dude — and I mean that.
dcwvu on May 6, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Ooof, that was a painfully inept retort. But I’m willing to give you another chance only because you’re good with the rice cake jokes.
Bishop on May 6, 2009 at 11:31 PM
You’ve proven beyond any doubt that you are that stupid.
Perhaps you should actually know the meaning of “irony” before you use it.
jdkchem on May 6, 2009 at 11:31 PM
Right. MO stands on the shoulders of these women, and others like them, and thinks she’s 12 feet tall.
soundingboard on May 6, 2009 at 11:31 PM
If that’s her ‘good for the camera’ look…oh, I can’t finish this one…. {shudder}
bikermailman on May 6, 2009 at 11:31 PM
Again how old are you? You are like the energizer rabbit with your continual childish rants and illogical points.
You get destroyed over and over and yet come back for more.
Later …hang in there one day you will be an adult.
Jamson64 on May 6, 2009 at 11:32 PM
Restoring Honor and Dignity to the White House doesn’t do anything for you?
benny shakar on May 6, 2009 at 11:33 PM
There’s a secret service agent who managed to get meritoriously volunteered to walk the dog. This of course being after “excuse me ma’am but the collar goes around the dog’s neck.”
jdkchem on May 6, 2009 at 11:34 PM
I read that she was handing out food to the needy for the duration of the photo-snapping and her entire appearance there ‘with the needy’ lasted the whopping, laborious time of 38 minutes.
Those were a seriously caring 38 minutes though, and they were also Michelle Ogabe minutes which are worth twice the minutes of an average person.
Bishop on May 6, 2009 at 11:34 PM
I don’t know about Honor and Dignity, but apparently Shelly does something for you…
Upstater85 on May 6, 2009 at 11:35 PM
I wouldn’t say that at all about you.
I’d compliment you for acting age appropriate.
Loxodonta on May 6, 2009 at 11:36 PM
Bishop made the point that it’s MO’s supporters who seem to
be judging her on the criteria mentioned.
That point burst the bubble of the point you were attempting to make. And it blew up in your face. And you acted like you were oblivious to it.
That’s what I found funny.
And it did seem to hit a nerve, your denial notwithstanding.
soundingboard on May 6, 2009 at 11:38 PM
You mean like bending over and kissing Saudi ass? Right that was dear leader!
Wouldn’t she have to have honor and dignity first?
jdkchem on May 6, 2009 at 11:38 PM
This is pretty telling. I’m just at 40 and don’t have a problem staying up late at all. More importantly, I remember when I was 20. Seems like yesterday, really. You’ll be here (40) before you know it comrade, so, I wouldn’t spit in the wind if I were you.
MarkABinVA on May 6, 2009 at 11:39 PM
Right. MO stands on the shoulders of these women, and others like them, and thinks she’s 12 feet tall.
soundingboard on May 6, 2009 at 11:31 PM
As with her pompous spouse, Mrs. Oflyby believes that American history began the day Baracky was sworn in as POTUS.
I hear these two fools talk and my ears start to burn with their condescending line of bull, as if the long line of American inventors, scientists, soldiers and heroes should abdicate their worth to make room for two self-centered blowhards who conned their way into the White House.
Bishop on May 6, 2009 at 11:40 PM
*snort*
Upstater85 on May 6, 2009 at 11:40 PM

I recently finished a book by that title that involved a plague that nearly wiped out humanity. Pretty spot on!
bikermailman on May 6, 2009 at 11:44 PM
This blatant and misdirected infatuation will never stop. The media found their perfect poster children for the liberal cause and they will never let go. On Inauguration Day 2013, there will be ten cameras in D.C and 700 cameras in Chicago watching the Obamas lug their suitcases up the stairs of their Hyde Park home.

ddrintn on May 6, 2009 at 11:45 PM
That galls me, not just about her, but all the beautiful people of the political-entertainment-academic-journalistic complex.
In all my non-political volunteer work, I’ve never met a beautiful person, but have met hundreds of average people, common people who don’t need photo ops to care, lend a hand, and give of themselves. It’s these people who are the ones who really make a positive difference in this world.
No photo op, no credit necessary, just the act of giving.
Loxodonta on May 6, 2009 at 11:45 PM

“CANT TOUCH THIS“on the derrier.

No, it won’t stop because I suspect they feel that people really aren’t buying it. If the Obamas were such demigods we wouldn’t have to be reminded daily.
ddrintn on May 6, 2009 at 11:48 PM

common people who don’t need photo ops to care, lend a hand, and give of themselves. It’s these people who are the ones who really make a positive difference in this world.
I can’t see the likes of Harriet Tubman saying “Check out my greatness, everyone” as Michelle does.
The Ogabe’s need the spotlight, when it finally fades they are quickly going to become bitter hacks, constantly trying to inject themselves into everything in hopes of gaining a last bit of attention.
Bishop on May 6, 2009 at 11:51 PM
Next, Oprah is going to tell us that Sotomayor is a real beaut.

Uh… isn’t that the Carters that you are describing?
Upstater85 on May 6, 2009 at 11:51 PM
Approval, sir, in my opinion, demands the attainment of perfection. And in that sense, you rather overrate the charms of your first lady. I’faith, for one thing, she does seem monstrous ill-dressed for any lady, even a new one.
PercyB on May 6, 2009 at 11:52 PM
I’m done. I wish I could send you some. Out of the birthday girl’s favorites I picked that one to make because I’m not crazy about it so I will not partake. It sure was good to hear from Hawkdriver. The time difference makes it unlikely that I will ever get to post directly to him.

At least Roslyn hasn’t felt it necessary to chase down the nearest camera crew and demand some air time.
Jimmy…well…Jimmy dropped a hammer on his own head a few years ago while building a Habitat House and now believes he is still talking to Arafat on a daily basis.

for some reason Texas oil fields come to mind!!
Hehe:)
canopfor on May 7, 2009 at 12:04 AM
I suggest you have this metaphor wrong.
It’s images of Carrie Prejean that produce much drooling and panting among male conservatives on the prowl in Hot Air threads.
Images of Obama and his entourage produce much swooning, like teenage girls, among liberals in the MSM. I don’t quite understand why it has that effect on both female and male liberals, but it does.
[Glad to see you are still posting. And hope all is well with you.]
Loxodonta on May 7, 2009 at 12:04 AM
Sink me, then her tailors have certainly betrayed her. So much for American fashion as well as American politics.
