DRUDGE SIRENS: Matt Drudge Thinks Michelle Obama Broke Election Law!

by Jack Stuef  7:05 pm October 14, 2010

Tell it to the judge, missy!“First lady Michelle Obama appears to have violated Illinois law — when she engaged in political discussion at a polling place!” Wha? Oh no! Exclamation point, for sure! After Michelle Obama finished turning in her early-voting ballot today (DRUDGE SIRENS! Update your residency, miss! You live in D.C.!), some voters asked if they could take a photo with her. She obliged but ended up telling one of them “how important it was to vote to keep her husband’s agenda going.” DRUDGE SIRENS! That shit’s illegal!

According to a pool reporter from the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES at the scene, the conversation took place IN the voting center not far from the booths.

Illinois state law — Sec. 17-29 (a) — states: “No judge of election, pollwatcher, or other person shall, at any primary or election, do any electioneering or soliciting of votes or engage in any political discussion within any polling place, within 100 feet of any polling place.”

A top Ilinois State Board of Elections official tells the DRUDGE REPORT how Mrs. Obama may have simply been ignorant of the law and thus violated it unintentionally.

DRUDGE SIRENS! You’ll lock her up 4 LIFE if you aren’t just a bunch of commie Obama cronies, Chicago police.

THAT LADY SHOULD BE SITTING IN MAXIMUM SECURITY CELL RIGHT NOW, EATING HER GRUEL, THINKING ABOUT HOW SHE RUINED DEMOCRACY FOREVER. [Drudge Report via Daily Intel]

Matt Drudge is a slightly less exophthalmic Michelle Malkin. With a fedora. And bigger tits.

LionelHutzEsq October 14, 2010 at 7:35 pm

Rumor is he gives better blow jobs too.

chicken_thief October 14, 2010 at 7:49 pm

But Ann Colter gives the bestest!!! The backside of that Adam's apple… oh, god….

At least drudge isn't an anchor baby like malkin is.

elfgoldsackring October 14, 2010 at 8:32 pm

Are you trying to make people's eyes pop out with your fancy words? Nice work.

Smaller penis though. Even with the Asianess.

JadedDissonance October 15, 2010 at 9:47 am

Adding that to the list of things never to google again.

ghostsouls October 15, 2010 at 3:18 pm

just what is it that you people do NOT understand about Matt Drudge??? HE DOES NOT MAKE THE NEWS, HE DOES NOT REPORT THE NEWS. All he does is have a website and puts links to news stories on his website. If YOU have a problem with what is on his website, either 1. don't read it, hide your head in the sand, and ignore what is going on. or 2. Click on the LINK to the story, and take issue with the REAL PERSON who wrote the article!!! For heavens sake, use your brains for something other than a hat rack. Matt Drudge is NOT a NEWS REPORTER!!! He just links stories!!! AND why don't YOU people go make an ANTI-DRUDGE website and put links on there of all the lying democrat/liberal stories, on there ?

PsycWench October 14, 2010 at 7:14 pm

Pay attention people; our nation's prisons are full of people who mentioned their favorite candidate within sight of a voting booth.

weejee October 14, 2010 at 7:17 pm

That's certainly much more dangerous than those filling our prisons for a "dime bag" of weed.

[note to self: weejee, you're dating yourself with that expression]

PsycWench October 14, 2010 at 7:19 pm

Man, I can't remember the last time I heard a reference to a "dime bag" of weed. Today that would be microscopic. Not that I would refuse it as a gift or anything.

weejee October 14, 2010 at 7:27 pm

Yeah, today a tenner would only get you about 3 seeds. That said, back in the day the Tejas Police cut-off the pocket of the flannel shirt of a black activist, found 3 seeds, and da Judge gave him 11 years a seed.

LionelHutzEsq October 14, 2010 at 7:37 pm

You all live in the wrong place. Move out West where weed is plentiful, good and cheap.

Do you mean a "lid"?

Jukesgrrl October 14, 2010 at 8:23 pm

I have lived all over this nation from Washington, DC, to Washington State. And I've never voted anyplace where I didn't call the Election Board to complain about someone electioneering at the polls — or even INSIDE the polling place … yeah, I'm talking about you, Pittsburgh. (Not just answering questions, mind you, but yelling info about their candidate and pushing papers in my face.) To every complaint, I've received the same reply: Meh.

Crank_Tango October 14, 2010 at 8:34 pm

yeah, but in this case it's a black lady. that's a horse of a different color…

Crank_Tango October 14, 2010 at 8:42 pm

i heard that was just a myth

But in Michelle's case, they were actual cats.

elviouslyqueer October 14, 2010 at 7:15 pm

Meh. Wake me when the Drudge Sirens herald the news that Drudge is a cocksucking nimrod. Oh, wait.

OCKerouac October 14, 2010 at 7:17 pm

I apologize if I'm as ignorant as the First Lady, but does that law apply to turning in one's absentee ballot when it's not election day? If so, MY poling place is City Hall, so I'm a bit concerned if no one is EVER allowed to 'engage in any political discussion' in the building.

Then again, that would explain why it's taken the city of Irvine over 10 years to build a park…

weejee October 14, 2010 at 7:23 pm

Orange County Bircheritis might be another.

OCKerouac October 14, 2010 at 7:28 pm

Hey! We're a bastion of liberalism. We have a Democrat mayor!

weejee October 14, 2010 at 7:45 pm

We has the C'Addle process here. So even being awash in libtards, progress takes forever since the most important this is that everyone, and truly it is everyfuckingone, gets to put in their 2¢. Folks keep working on ways to get more fiber in the C'Addle debate process so something will eventually get passed.

V572625694 October 14, 2010 at 7:30 pm

You mean "The Great Park" of El Toro? You're lucky it's not all condos.

OCKerouac October 14, 2010 at 7:38 pm

That's the one. There's a lovely balloon you can take a 'ride' in to overlook the giant empty field that will allegedly be a park some day.

chicken_thief October 14, 2010 at 7:44 pm

Hey, back in the mid-70's I was stationed at Treasure Island with the guy that is spearheading the development (or lack of) of that park… what a small world…

Delicious_2 October 14, 2010 at 7:18 pm

The other Drudge FLOTUS alert on his page now is about how she ate a cheeseburger and fries on Wednesday.

She's probably already smoking crack in the West Wing.

Redhead October 14, 2010 at 7:51 pm

How dare she eat! All first ladies should be anorexic, like Nancy Reagan.

elfgoldsackring October 14, 2010 at 8:33 pm

Lemme guess: he also seen Beyonce at Burger King.

HistoriCat October 15, 2010 at 10:29 am

So Sludge is reporting on the cheeseburger and fries because she's promoting healthy food? Wait till he finds out that Republicans argue for balanced budgets but don't want to actually cut spending or raise ta — hah hah hah! No, can't say it with a straight face.

PocketsTheClown October 14, 2010 at 7:20 pm

Hey can Drudge ascertain if is it illegal to shoot people in the face in Chicago? There‘s some confusion among his readership about the issue.

JMPEsq October 14, 2010 at 7:23 pm

This is even worse than the New Black Panthers standing near a polling place, while being all black and shit. Doesn't Michelle know that she has the power to compel pants-shitting racist white folks to vote as she wants them, by virtue of her existence, which scares those people?

PsycWench October 14, 2010 at 7:24 pm

Right now I wish our FLOTUS would use those celebrated well-toned arms to put Matt Drudge in a headlock.

Geminisunmars October 14, 2010 at 7:25 pm

That does it! I've put up with a lot from those two (the Obamers). What affrontery! (effrontery? afro nuttery?) Can you believe it? And you can bet she did it intentionally, too. Just to rub our noses in it that she can get away with this kind of aff — stuff.

Amo_of_Bogio October 14, 2010 at 7:25 pm

From the "Drudge" "site"

under the sub-head "WHITE HOUSE DEFENDS ELECTIONEERING"
…When questioned about the brazen nature of Mrs. Obama's campaigning…

Brazen: Marked by flagrant and insolent audacity – some dictionary or other

I think the only reasonable response to this hateful word salad is: Fuck you Mr Drudge and the double dutch rudder you rode in on.

SarcasticNymph October 14, 2010 at 7:34 pm

Needs more "uppity".

PsycWench October 14, 2010 at 7:53 pm

That same dictionary might have a picture of Drudge next to the word "Projection". Also words such as "uninformed" and "jerk" .

Tundra Grifter October 15, 2010 at 8:45 am

"Brazen" is only used when immediately followed by "hussey."

It's the law.

Qatarded October 14, 2010 at 7:26 pm

By any means necessary.

Tengu October 14, 2010 at 7:32 pm

How can a man with such a freakishly oversized head have such a tiny brain?
(P.S. Drudge, the fedora isn't helping, really it's the size of a watermelon.)

Hydrocephalic. Untreated.
Either that or repeated trauma from his forehead hitting the headboard every time Breitbart thrusts.

"No judge of election, pollwatcher, or other person"

Well, there ya go: she's only 3/5 of a person, so she's OK.

DoktorZoom October 14, 2010 at 7:35 pm

Can't you morans see that the Obamas intend to start hovering over voting booths everywhere? Using a combination of mind control and Kenyan VOODOO, the Obamas and their proxies (SEIU thugs, ACORNistas, and an army of brainwashed elementary school students taught to sing the praises of the "Dear Leader") will soon have personal approval over every single vote that is cast.

The only solution is to let corporations spend as much money as they can on election ads, and to hope that, somehow, the marginalized voice of freedom-loving plutocrats can get through.

May God have mercy on America.

Weigel was right: ”This would be a vastly better world to live in if Matt Drudge decided to handle his emotional problems more responsibly, and set himself on fire.”

ghostsouls October 15, 2010 at 3:27 pm

Why the hell do you people persist in blaming Matt Drudge for other people's news stories, lmfao Once again people, he does not write all those stories , he just puts links to them. If they offend you, you don't believe them, or don't think they are accurate, don't go to his website. But obviously you go there because you can't get real news links from any other reputable source, because they won't report anything bad about obama, his administration, his wife, or any democrat, until they can no longer avoid it. So, just don't go there. Or if you have the balls, make your own anti-Drudge site and link your own happy little stories, that prove that the stories Matt drudge links, are lies??? It doesn't take a rocket scientist now to make a website, his site, just has links and sources listed, no frills, I am sure one of you brainiacs can do that much. then all you happy obama people can go bury your head in the sand on that website instead, and leave the rest of us to read the links to the REAL news that the obama media won't show you.

Lucidamente1 October 15, 2010 at 4:06 pm

I guess Drudge is not the only one with emotional problems.

Gainsbourg69 October 15, 2010 at 4:17 pm

Needs moar leftist media bias.

And what do balls have to do with creating a website? I thought it wasn't rocket science.

Bluestatelibel October 14, 2010 at 7:39 pm

Dick Cheney shoots a man in the face = no big deal. Michele O'bama says a few innocent words at a polling place = two consecutive life sentences.

LionelHutzEsq October 14, 2010 at 7:52 pm

Now, I'm sure that Drudge has a siren going right now about how Vice President Cheney still hasn't been prosecuted for shooting a guy in the face. I mean, if he has time to waste with something meaningless like this, he must be covering real news too, right?

Hello ! October 15, 2010 at 12:27 pm

Gopherit October 14, 2010 at 8:03 pm

Michelle, that was a pretty stupid thing to do, considering most polling places have signs all over the place. Did you influence anyone's vote during your photo op that had been approved by the elections commission? No? Then i guess that's over. Lesson learned.

It's so sad to see a closeted queen like Drudge get his panties in a bunch over nothing.

MISTAHCOUGHDROP October 14, 2010 at 8:05 pm

hey, it's no problem.

a) flotus's speech is protected under the first amendment to the u.s. constitution, if she has paid the customary millions to the proper recipients.

b) the law says, "or other person," and flotus is clearly of the "three-fifths of a person" category, i can tell just by looking.

jesus fucking christ, i cannot fucking believe i just said that, that is not funny. somebody grab a stick and give me a sound thrashing. now!

imissopus October 14, 2010 at 8:12 pm

Because of the alleged distribution of labor in updating Drudge's site, it's entirely possible this siren was actually posted by Andrew Breitbart, who I have heard still has a hand in running the Drudge Report. If he hasn't already, he'll soon post links to whatever bullshit his crazy contributors are posting on Big Government. And thus the circle of life shall continue.

Not that it mitigates it to me if Drudge posted the item, since they are both lower than the underside of a pile of elephant shit.

x111e7thst October 14, 2010 at 8:46 pm

So Breitbart has his hand up Drudge's ass while Drudge presumably returns the favor? You may well be right, but the picture you paint is not at all a pretty one.

imissopus October 14, 2010 at 9:27 pm

Oh, Breitbart and Drudge have been fisting each other since the late 90s, it's how Breitbart got his start.

Zvi_Bleindmeis October 14, 2010 at 10:22 pm

Andrew Breitbart is a slightly more stubbly Matt Drudge, but with bigger tits.

metamarcisf October 14, 2010 at 8:14 pm

You can say anything you want about our most powerful first lady, including sending her to Joliet for name-dropping within 100 feet of the polls. Just don't threaten to set Matt Drudge on fire anymore. You might accidently win the WaPo pundit contest.

She was probably creating a diversion so CPS could snatch someone's baby.

JoshuaNorton October 14, 2010 at 8:52 pm

Don't know how to break it to Drudge and his little Drudge-ites, but no law was broken unless they asked Michelle to stop and she refused. Then they could legally ask her to leave or have her escorted out and arrested.

See how stupid you look when all you know is the Cliff Notes version of life?

finallyhappy October 14, 2010 at 9:04 pm

I frequently find comments I would like to steal. I am planning to steal your last line. Of course, I may find that the people I address it to are too dumb to even know what Cliff Notes are.

What the hell? In a one-word-response question, apparently, "would you endorse making English the official language?" Angle said "Yes" and Reid said it was already the official language. Lordy.

klg1956 October 15, 2010 at 4:05 am

Reid is WRONG! English is not our official language. America does not hold English as their official language. If Angle said yes, she would make it the official language, then she is the only one who answered that question correctly!

H Curve October 15, 2010 at 9:07 am

Whoa there! Calm down. Have a drink or three and relax. Shhhh. It'll be OK…

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:16 pm

Harry Reid flails on a rightie internet question about why he & Obama didn't focus on jobs over healthcare reform in light of a new report saying healthcare was going to cost $100 million more for Nevada than currently. Fortunately, Angle is endorsing Medicare Advantage, the giveaway to middlemen.
Reid retorts that Angle is wrong factually and that she's against all kinds of coverage.

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:20 pm

Sharron Angle just said she taught autistic children. This sounds like negligence, pure and simple.
Moderator restates the question: Is there anything that should be mandated to be covered?
Angle favors some sort of irrational invisible hand philosophy — your sickness will be covered by the free market somehow.
Reid seems like he's getting into this — he's starting to work from specifics, finally.
Angle says Obamacare is destroying the country. Already?

Radiotherapy October 14, 2010 at 9:33 pm

Snatchin,s those artistic kids

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:23 pm

Question for Reid — at what point will you stop blaming Bush for the economy and start laying blame on Obama's policies?
Reid — my pressure on BOA has stopped foreclosures here, but we have to do more. We passed Wall Street reform.
Followup question: Does Obama deserve as much blame as Bush?
Reid: We lost 8 million jobs during the Bush years, we've created 3 million now. He's getting into this.
Angle's retort: the housing bubble was created by things Reid refused to deal with — we need an audit of the Federal Reserve. Freddy and fannie. She has no idea what that means, but is betting that neither does her audience. We have to investigate the problem, even though I just said I know what happened.

OverhandRight October 14, 2010 at 9:24 pm

So THIS is where self-marginalizing fringe-wacko bed-wetting liberals go to hang out and feed off each others' derangement.

Fascinating!

You libs feign condescension (which must be a stretch for virtual dunces) and put on the ostentatious tongue-clucking charade — but most of you HAVE to "get it."

Drudge knows exactly what he's doing: OF COURSE nobody expects the "polling police" to come careening around the corner like the Keystone Kops to shake an admonitory finger at ol' Marie Antoinette; but this headline reinforces the all-too-accurate perception of the Obamas as the elitist, self-fixated, rules-don't-apply "pseudo-aristocracy" they are.

YOU know what's going on. Roll your eyes all you want, the Obama's are turning out to be among you liberals' worst nightmares.

Mwuhahahahahahaah

PS, what exactly is a "Druge" siren? Is it anything like a "Drudge siren"?

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:26 pm

Question for Angle: You said about employment that people can get more out of a job than working. Do you think the unemployed are spoiled?
Angle: I don't think they're spoiled, and that's Reid's mischaracterization. Private industry would do somehting but they're afraid they'll be taxed or something — uncertainty is frightening to business.
Moderator cuts her off: That'll be a no.

stew1 October 14, 2010 at 9:27 pm

Listening to the Ried/Angle debate, I now know why people only go to Nevada to gamble away the rent money and cheat on their wives.

Or break into hotel rooms with guns to steal their own stolen property back.

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:29 pm

Ha ha — Name a SC Justice you like and one you disagree with.
Reid names Scalia as the one he dislikes —
Angle? Clarence Thomas — that's a definite leadership pick there. She doesn't like Kagan or Sotomayor because they said they would vote against our second amendment rights. Uh, really?

Radiotherapy October 14, 2010 at 9:38 pm

She must like pubes on coke cans too. And lots of guns, Neilist?

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:33 pm

Gay marriage — I have no idea what Sharron Angle just said — I didn't know she was capable of circumspection, but she was dancing around it like David Vitter on prostitution.
Reid on DODT — first do no harm. Not to the gays, though.
Angle wants a review — like on that tricky issue about smoking causing cancer.

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:37 pm

Angle is repeating these John McCain talking points on Social Security — does she have one of his advisors as a debate coach? Or is it just the John Birch Society newsletter?

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:38 pm

Angle says SS is full of IOUs (in some file cabinet in West Virginia) — she's been raiding Ronald Reagan's Reader's Digest clippings.

Radiotherapy October 14, 2010 at 9:43 pm

Secret SS IOU's in WV?? Haha, they don't even have cell phone coverage.

LibrulEleet October 14, 2010 at 11:32 pm

At least Byrd got the roads paved. Now that he's gone, there will be no further progress in WV for 50 years.

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:41 pm

Yucca Mountain — Reid's against it. It seems like it would've been a good idea, actually — where the hell are we gonna put this stuff? Anyway, Reid says Nevada can't be the place for it.
Angle wants it both ways — pro-nuclear but against Yucca. We should have reactors like in nuke subs that cool using liquid metal. Great — we'll fuel America 100 people at a time with a zillion gallons of mercury. Much safer.

Radiotherapy October 14, 2010 at 9:44 pm

We could put those Secret SS IOU's in there though.

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:47 pm

On Iraq — Reid said the war was lost and the surge wouldn't work.
Reid — the war couldn't be won militarily but also economically and socially, and I've supported VA benefits, troop pay etc.
Angle — you've demoralized our troops and you need to apologize.
Reid — Angle wants to privatize the VA. I'm glad I passed the GI bill of rights.

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:48 pm

Question — Angle, you've accused Reid of buying favors. If you did that, should you drop out of the race?
Angle — I want to talk about the VA — my father pays $800 a month in prescription drugs. We need to do better.
Reid — I could help your dad. Sellout!

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:51 pm

The Dubya tax cuts are expiring. We might have to go back to late Clinton-era tax rates! That's orrible! (Cockney song and dance follows).
Reid — middle class won't suffer terrible usury of getting their taxes raised a minimal amount. Also Angle gets to pick her insurance.
Angle — could you repeat the question? Christ, I'm drunker and higher than she is,

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:53 pm

Angle flails. She'd like to know how Harry Reid became "so wealthy on a government payroll?" Blew the question.
Reid gets indignant — he was a lawyer, that's how he got his money. We have a deficit problem as well and she's not doing anything about it.

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:55 pm

Angle is terrified that some 82-year old Reno lawyer will die and his employees will be sold to Simon Legree, and therefore we shouldn't have an inheritance tax. Why does Harry Reid want to enslave paralegals?
Reid says his friend Dubya blew the surplus. Hope the surplus enjoyed it.

Radiotherapy October 14, 2010 at 9:59 pm

Wait, there was no surplus. It was all smoke and mirrors and IOU's in WV, at least that's the new spew from Hannity, et.al.

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 10:49 pm

This must be a thing now, 'cause Angle mentioned that earlier. But it's an old thing, not a new thing — this "there was never a surplus" nonsense came up in 2000 and 2004. Of course it's a conflation of surplus (on a yearly basis) vs. the national debt, which is the accumulated deficit. It's a terrible gimmick, though, and I wonder why they've brought it up again. Whatever you call the damn numbers, the Republicans have still been much worse on them than the Democrats. At which point the Republican say that's ancient history and then bring up Chappaquiddick.

Troubledog October 14, 2010 at 9:55 pm

Sharron Angle is the craziest person I ever saw with clothes on. I keep expecting her to grab a zipper on the back of her neck, unzip her Men In Black humanoid costume, and start eating people she pulls to her with her long sticky tongue.

SayItWithWookies October 14, 2010 at 9:57 pm

Final remarks — Reid says Angle loves BP, insurance companies. Reid is for the middle class. Create renewable energy jobs that Angle disdains. I will fight. Good on them wiry folks.
Angle — why do I smile so much? idiocy and botox. Ronald Reagan, God, cut spending, repeal Obamacare, Bill of Rights, lower taxes, stop the spending I'm Sharron Angle. If you want a bumper sticker, Nevada, she's your girl.

elviouslyqueer October 14, 2010 at 11:25 pm

Thanks, Wookies, for the play-by-play. So would you say that the takeaway from Angle is this: "I'm not a total reactionary batshit crazypants who wants to make sweet sweet love to the corpse of Ronald Reagan by the light of a simmering radioactive waste dump. I'm YOU"? Close?

SayItWithWookies October 15, 2010 at 2:12 am

I think she was trying to pass herself off as more moderate than she is; yet Harry Reid, by being as conservative as he is anyway and being as unused to debating as he must be, didn't extract the crazy out of her that was necessary. As close as this race is, he should've really tried to knock her out and he didn't do that. He knocked her on her facts, but I'm not sure that'll convince the undecided voters.

transfatz October 15, 2010 at 3:27 am

From "sweet love" to "waste dump". Commenting genius.

transfatz October 15, 2010 at 1:45 am

Jeez Wookies, I never thought of that. She probably would stick to my bumper. I guess that's out.

deanbooth October 15, 2010 at 12:36 pm

Thanks, Wookies. I enjoyed your play-by-play.

johnnyzhivago October 14, 2010 at 10:10 pm

Let me tell you what total bullshit this is…

As I have mentioned I was a Republican local elected official – in this part of Jersey only Republicans are elected – and most of the people involved in trying to stop development – like me – became Republicans in order to get elected…

Anyway – I beat a jackass in the primary – but he decided to run as a "write-in" in the General Election. The stupid old shmuck was so desperate that he planted himself IN THE POLLING PLACE ON ELECTION DAY begging people to vote for him. When I heard of this I called the county election commissioner – who was also the GOP Vice Chairwoman. She said "oh – xxxx – is just a nice old man, don't make trouble for him".

I said, you stupid bitch, he's breaking the law. She REFUSED to do anything or to take a complaint.

And of course he lost. Badly.

lulzmonger October 14, 2010 at 10:24 pm

Hahahahahaha … "Matt Drudge THINKS" ,,, hee hee hee hee hee hee! Har! Heh.

Prime comedy like that is what keeps me coming back here. Thanks for brightening my day with such absurd hilarity!

mrblifil October 14, 2010 at 10:38 pm

NPR employees ordered not to go to John Stewart Bake Sale/Patchouli Festival. And if, around the water cooler, they happen to laugh about some "joke" Stewart or Colbert ever told, they will be immediately shipped over to C-SPAN 3 and locked in a broom closet to think about what they've done.

SecretMuslin October 14, 2010 at 11:06 pm

Is this real? Not the CSPAN3 thing of course, but NPR staffers not being allowed to go to Jon Stewart's laugh-in?!? How is that OK? No more $$ from me you NPR assholes!!

mrblifil October 15, 2010 at 9:03 am

Yeah totally real.

Heq October 14, 2010 at 10:54 pm

Maybe it's just me, coming from a socialist country and all (Canada), but I kind of agree that this is all sorts of wrong.

She may not have known the law, but c'mon, does anyone want Dick Cheney in an election centre glaring at people who are about to vote? No? Then she should be cited.

JustPixelz October 14, 2010 at 10:55 pm

She's loving and supportive wife in a one-man/one-woman marriage. You'd think the Repubicans would be happy about that.

HistoriCat October 15, 2010 at 10:46 am

Don't you know that slaves can't really get married – wait, we can't do that any more, huh? Well then he's part white so it's miscegenation which is illegal – not any more? You sure about that? Damn, what's this world coming to? Well, they're probably not really married and she's just his baby-mama. See? Completely logical and not at all racist.

SecretMuslin October 14, 2010 at 10:56 pm

Over at the WaPo comments section they are arguing that this proves Michelle Obama is dumber than Christine O'Donnell. I suppose it follows that Joe Biden is dumber than Trig…

Christine/Trig 2056!

glamourdammerung October 14, 2010 at 11:08 pm

So much impotent rage.

tribbzthesquidz October 14, 2010 at 11:31 pm

Take that Meshell Obamrar. You just got Scoop'd by the Drudg'd.

Urban_Achiever October 14, 2010 at 11:56 pm

Drudge,

Girlfriend please!! When I voted in the 2007 Aldermanic election in the 46th Ward, someone was placing campaign signs for the incumbent IN THE POLLING PLACE while people were in line to vote!! This is how we do it in Chicago!!

MiniMencken October 15, 2010 at 1:10 am

Wow, all these thoughts we good white Christian voters have had about the Obamas, well, they're all true! Now, let me explain it to you, Oh, America: Game over! Done! This is a country in decline. It will NEVER get better, no matter how many billionaires you excuse from paying an income tax. Tilt! The forests have been felled, the mines have been depleted of ore. It's over. There are no free resources to exploit. The planet is poisoned and depleted. Game over!

transfatz October 15, 2010 at 1:39 am

She can "break my laws" anytime she wants to. I think she's dreamy. * sigh *

zhubajie October 15, 2010 at 6:36 am

If O. is really the Chicago thug Rep(tilians) say he is, why haven't Drudge, Limbaugh, and the whole Fox (in the hen house) News time been droned? Or renditioned to Bagram? It might raise his standing in the polls, a lot, too. Authoritarian Rep types would appreciate that kind of behavior.

HistoriCat October 15, 2010 at 10:47 am

Hey – Guantanamo is still open!

spooked911 October 15, 2010 at 6:57 am

don't forget the acorns!

Illinois state law — Sec. 17-29 (a)

Jack Stuef is correct: how dare silly things like laws apply to our political betters.

Just ask Charlie Rangel.

bandit2010 October 15, 2010 at 8:48 am

As always Mrs. Obama is too ignorant and low class to abide by both the law and any standard of behavior. Big surprise.

Tundra Grifter October 15, 2010 at 8:49 am

If Mrs. Obama broke the law, throw the book at her!

Oh – wait – that deranged author just did that to her husband.

Never mind…

NorthStarSpanx October 15, 2010 at 9:42 am

Thank god Michelle left her bat at home that day.

WigFlipper October 15, 2010 at 10:14 am

Can we impeach the FLOTUS? Maybe we can annul the First Marriage? Which Republican will lead the House Subcommittee on Family and Electoral Law?

ReturnToMetal October 16, 2010 at 5:49 am

Drudge is to journalism as Carl Paladino is to gay rights (as Christine O'Donnell is to sexual freedom.)

weejee October 14, 2010 at 7:40 pm

C'Addle is pretty far west, but ah don't do that no mo.

doxastic October 14, 2010 at 7:44 pm

I can't even handle this conversation. Last week someone broke into my house, left all our fancy computers and such but took our weed and PS3. It's been a long and shitty week.

Crank_Tango October 14, 2010 at 8:36 pm

I swear to god, my entire neighborhood smells like skunks. There is weed either growing or drying EVERYWHERE. Not that I am complaining.

GOPCrusher October 15, 2010 at 2:50 pm

I heard that in Humboldt County, people were going to vote against the measure for marijuana legalization because it would cause prices to fall. And I thought, WTF? In 75, we dreamed of the day that marijuana would be made legal.

PsycWench October 14, 2010 at 7:55 pm

And insurance NEVER covers the weed. If marijuana were legal, would insurance cover weed theft?

Crank_Tango October 14, 2010 at 8:36 pm

maybe we could have a telethon for you or something…

Lucidamente1 October 14, 2010 at 8:05 pm

With Obamacare, you'll be forced to buy your weed from death panels.

bagofmice October 14, 2010 at 8:22 pm

Or buy your death from weed panels.

NorthStarSpanx October 15, 2010 at 9:46 am

I don't know, those dead stink bugs sure smell skunky. With the outbreak of stink bugs and bed bugs coinciding with the Tea Party movement, perhaps they are achieving the desiring of the ushering in of the second coming?
