Wonkette
Ergh, Thursday was filled with grim sorrow. Here is something “cute” to, uh, make up for it all. Because it’s our fault, about the world being full of gloom and America being full of fail. At least we’ve got these nice new people in the White House being not-terrible! And maybe the economy is looking a little better, and a bunch more American kids have health care again, and a bunch of evil-ass Bush/Cheney policies have been quickly dismantled, so cheer up, lamers! Here’s Michelle Obama talking about her dog, “Ted Kennedy.” [YouTube/CNN]
What a change from Ms. Buzz Kill Laura Bush. This First Lady actually looks at ease and comfortable.
It’s those ugly gold chairs again! What the hell? I mean, I know we’re in a recession/depression but can’t they get something less tacky in there? C’mon, now.
I didn’t hear one question about cap-and-trade. Where’d they get these faggo-commie ACORN brats?
(I had to snark about something, because the rest of this was just too cute.)
Offtopic fun: plz add comments here: Conservative Express re: waterboarding Hannity. Don’t click on the TruckNutz username, ok?
dammit
Edward Bernays eat your heart out.
Just in case anyone was wondering if I would do Randi Kaye, the answer is yes, I would do her on my folding Ikea sofa. Maybe put some euro techno on, to enhance the mood.
(Yes, I’m a pig. But I’m a pig with fairly specific tastes.)
Kev-O-Tron: The inventor of Bearnaise sauce?
Has anyone noticed that for the first time in many years, we have a First Lady who actually looks like she might have had sex?
How am I supposed to cheer up when you, Ken Layne, have REFUSED TO POST A WINNER FROM THE LAST CAPTION CONTEST?! I’m beginning to sympathize with the Bitters, being myself a veteran, when I come home and find few jobs and zero positive blog reinforcement. I’m just sitting here, refreshing Wonkette and polishing my Beretta service pistol, Ken.
Let this be a lesson to all with home offices: your kids totally get gypped on “take your kid to work” day. Sasha and Malia had to trot themselves off to school while a bunch of strange kids got to come by and play in their house. LAME!
I love Michelle Obama. But the clothes! Dear God, one of these hideous sweaters would be enough but she has TWO (the other is turquoise). And the belts and the bows. No, no, no. Can’t the RNC take her to Neimans?? Pretty, please, before I go blind. Just because I’m a socialist doesn’t mean I can’t be shallow and demanding.
“Where do I sleep? In my room! (you smart-assed little…)”
Michelle’s an honorary Wonktard! Give ‘em snark!
chascates: It’s easy to look at ease and comfortable when you’re not married to the Village Idiot.
These kids have been drinking the Koolaid. I didn’t see a single flag, cross or teabag in that room. Someone should remind these kids of all the soldiers who died violently fighting for their freedom to laugh.
Turd Way: And another thing: if you weren’t going to have a real caption contest, then call it a “caption exercise,” or something. This is another in a series of recent broken promises in my life, Ken. When I signed up for Iraq, the Army promised me career training. But it turns out that KILLING PEOPLE isn’t an actual civilian job skill, even in law enforcement. Or do you not believe in winners, because you want to “spread the [comedic] wealth around?” Or maybe you just don’t want to share the limelight, from your lofty SoCal low-desert perch. Well, I live in the Mojave too, and I’m done polishing my Beretta and have moved on to my AR-15.
Did Mrs. O. have a stare-down with Politico’s Jon Martin’s progeny?
Turd Way: Turd Way, please let us know before you decide to go “full Bickle” on Ken “Palantine” Layne.
All good Wonketteers already know Layne is a prophet, and a pusher… partly truth and partly fiction… a walking contradiction.
Just field-stripped my Yugo M59/66 SKS, FWIW…and I don’t live in the Mojave.
Lascauxcaveman: Give yourself some credit. You may be a caveman, but you can do far better than Randi Kaye. Almost half of her face is forehead. And where I come from we call that an ‘8head,’ not a 5head. Just sayin’. First time I saw 5head here I thought hmm…must be a somewhat large-ish forehead, leaving room for 6head, 7head & 8head. But no. Anyway, move on from RK, aim higher. I believe in you.
trondant: Done and done.
hobospacejunkie:Yoaur welcome
These must be democrat kids because not a one asked the important questions america needs to know about such as where is the birth certificate and what constitutes a bow to a Saudi king.
Also, they were promoting lesbian sleepovers.
chascates: Michelle clearly hates the pharmaceutical industry. If she was a real american she would be worried about the shareholder value associated with the drop off in anti-anxiety and other such pills and be far more medicated, like Laura
hobospacejunkie: Dear me, yet another wacko seems to have commented there. He seems to have not appreciated your contribution.
Hah this was cute until they were identified as “the sons and daughters of White House staff.”
Turd Way: Word
I was rather hoping she was going to talk about her pussy.
Bruno: As long as they don’t let Levi Johnston sleep over.
Uncle Glenny: Oh dear. I have a suspicion that this blogger is a not very intelligent teenager. Regardless, said blogger is in for a surprise this morning. This must surpass the cumulative total of comments the blog has received previously.
How big a shame is it that nice piece of manmeat Anderson Cooper is gay while Newt Gingrich is hetero?
Seventh Avenue is applauding the first lady who manages to wear Junya Watanabe, Azzedine Alaia and Moschino all in one outfit. BUY ‘MURICAN!!
MAYBBE THEY SHOULD CALL THE DOG ‘BOW’ OBAMA !!1!! WAKEE WAKEE LIBEEES!
fap fap fap fap fap.
Ha you know Republicans want to make hay that in her answer about a world emergency she’s wake Obama up and then go to sleep AND NOT PRAY! This is definitely the “let’s satisfy the crazies” vs. “this is the X number of times we’re going low the majority of the country will be mad at us” debate that consumes 90% of the day (the other 10% = gay orgies).
Geez, I like Michelle, but what message is she trying to send by wearing a Cheney torture belt around her mid-section?
Texan Bulldoggette: ALLEGEDLY hetero
hobospacejunkie: Amazing. They killed two comments, but left up the links in the usernames. More tellingly, the cut-n-pasted from freirepublik is still there. Whoeverthis fifteen year-old is, I feel sorry for it.
Wait a minute, I don’t. Not one fucking bit.
OMG! (my first time ever writing OMG) “make life easy on your parents” I luv luv luv luv luv her so much i will forgive the unfortunate belt and cease imagining her sweet pussy for a few minutes. ooops, ooops, ooops…gosh this is harder (more difficult) than i imagined.
OMG!!!!!111!!!!!!1111!!!111!! (second time ever writing OMG) just saw “two girls one cup”. i have long taken pride (and shame) in my perversity but this…….speechless, feeling urpy, gotta go.
MrsNateSilver: i’d be relieved if theywent over the chairs with a can of silver spray paint.
In eight years, Michelle Obama will be the next U.S. Secretary of State when Rahm Emanuel is elected as the next Democratic President to succeed President Obama. And Hillary Clinton will be the new Interior Secretary or Homeland Security Secretary. Just watch!
Texan Bulldoggette: Heh.
That video was so goddamned cute it made me tear up, so I can’t be sure - am I the only one who saw Michelle’s boner as she walked away from the lectern?
hobospacejunkie: Almost half of her face is forehead. And where I come from we call that an ‘8head,’ not a 5head.
Hey, to each his own. My dear beloved wifey is a 5head, and yet I keep telling her “More head, please!”
engulfedinflames: I googled the title - saw the word “scat” - so I did. Once you see it you can’t unsee it.
Lascauxcaveman: Cute.
I’ve always thought that brown people have the best foreheads. My little 1/2 indian (dot, not feather)1/2 black neices and nephews are blessed with the most gorgeous foreheads.
michelle for president & hopey for first lady! that’s all.
engulfedinflames: Dude, you can’t say I didn’t warn you.
But now that you’re here I can stop looking for my lighter.
trondant: Oh shit. Whoops. Army Pacifer or what ever will cause me some trouble.
102415: when our daughter was little we used to say “don’t look at the camera” to get a good photo. your warning provided the same impetus to me. you needed to warn me in the way custerwolf did. i cannot scrub the images from what’s left of my brain, and will have to wend my way through all those fucking stages of grief once again, just when i thought i was getting better.
