And how did those dirty White House Party Crashers get by Michelle Obama’s robot-assassin droid? Here is the actual White House Flickr caption: “An aide to the First Lady, wearing a radio on the back of her dress, watches as President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his wife, Mrs Gursharan Kaur, greet guests in the Blue Room of the White House at the State Dinner, Nov. 24, 2009.” So, basically, this robot gal could’ve zapped the interlopers with her radio-laser weapon, but didn’t, because she’s a righteous bodhisattva.

It’s Bush’s secret transponder from that Kerry debate.
She is the Mark I model of the Borg, still in beta.
[re=468599]Nigel[/re]: Dang! You beat me to it – that was my first thought (remember how the libural New York Times spiked that story?).
Well played!
Jesus that looks uncomfortable. I gave up wearing high heels and backpack radios to work 15 years ago.
And it monitors the device wearer’s blood pressure and pulse because…
Actually, that’s an Orgamzotronix Vibrolux 4.0™. I’m surprised she’s even standing up.
Tune in Tokyo! No, seriously!
If she has that much of a “concealed” transceiver setup protruding from her evening gown, why not give her a less concealed radio in a more comfortable place, or maybe Maxwell Smart’s shoe-phone?
That radio is *so* old I bet it can’t even get Rush Limbaugh.
Jebus. That looks uncomfortable.
now self-employed,
concerned (but powerless),
an empowered and informed member of society
(pragmatism not idealism)
Thank you, Ken.
Nothing sexier than a lady with 20 pounds of electronics jammed in her dress. Oooh baby
I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
Seriously, she could rock an a2dp headset and slip her iphone into a place a little more comfortable.
Why does she have a door bell on her right arm?
Radio? What radio?
That is one nice back!
[re=468608]Aflac Shrugged[/re]: She may well have other electronics concealed in “more comfortable places,” but the photographer, unfortunately, took the shot he could get.
Party like it’s 1989.
Formal gowns are hella uncomfortable on their own. I can’t imagine jamming electronics and a gun into one as well. They should be allowed to wear tuxes. Like the one’s Jodie Foster is always rockin’ at awards shows. Or is that too gay?
[re=468626]Fly Over Girl[/re]: That’s her transmitter, so she can be “discreet” by talking into her sleeve instead of hauling up the walkie-talkie every time she has to tell the wait staff to send out more curry puffs.
I’m thinking she’s watched “In the Line of Fire” a few too many times.
Holy moley, does the White House buy their electronics gear at Radio Shack? That is one honkin big walkie-talkie.
This robot really should have been able to stop the Gucci little piggy and her husband.
On the bright side, that’s one bad-ass looking lady-in-waiting.
I think she has her dress on backwards.
The real question is: Where does she keep her gun?
[re=468616]depraved indifference engine[/re]: nca(t…?? Your acrostic sucks.
Fembots!
Please, that’s the decoy “radio”. The real one is a thought-activated cloud of nanites in her inner ear.
I would not hit that.
Damn that’s big. Can’t they just use an iPhone?
Party up front; business in the back. That dress is reverse mullet.
LEAVE SALMA HAYEK ALONE!!1
[re=468601]memzilla[/re]: Actually, her name is Landbot, and she’s the illegitimate daughter of Lando and Lobot.
(Don’t ask…)
Is it wrong of me to find this really really sexy?
[re=469208]desertwind[/re]: If it’s wrong, I don’t want to be right. YUM YUM.
[re=468693]Flanders[/re]: Hey, you!
Blame Ken and Thom Yorke. Not my fault. You try making an acrostic out of that damned song!
[re=468661]AxmxZ[/re]: I know, right?
[re=469208]desertwind[/re]: It’d be wrong if you didn’t.
