The comparison you draw between Sarah Palin, (beautiful, loving, kind, brilliant, grounded, accomplished) and Michelle Obama, (hateful, ugly, arrogant, revengeful, greedy, stupid, entitled, mean) is apt.

The fact that the msm is gaga over MO and contemptuous of Sarah says it all about how perverted this country has become.

What still amazes me she attended that racist/anti-American church for 20 years, and the media still has not asked her about it (that I’ve heard).
One question would be “how could you bring your kids to that church”. It is a form of child abuse as far as I’m concerned. The audacity!

I saw that cover and remarked upon that very likeness to prayer in Oprah’s posture. And yes, that was the first time Oprah deigned to share her cover.

Every day the saga of The Emperor’s New Clothes keeps going on. Michelle is simply ugly, and all the “good” things she is doing and being said about her have the manufactured air of spin (I still can’t believe that guy on CNN who said he had a crush on her.)

I looked back at Sarah Palin and there was an attractive woman, yet all we heard about was how unintelligent she was, how the liberals were scared to death of her and how much her wardrobe cost.

Do we hear anything about Michelle’s stylist? How much her clothes cost? Her attitude? Nope, it’s all a non-stop symphony about how “Gorgeous and Gracious” is the most charming woman on the planet. Anything else must be a lie!

We truly have fallen through the looking glass, nothing the Obamas say or do will be held against them, our only hope seems to be if one of the two starts to go off script and ticks off the people who paid their way to the presidency.

The magazine “was absolutely in the right” to run their business as to what they felt would economically will benefit in revenue, without leftist control.
The magazine has to make money, via the designors who paid the magazine for publicity. Why let Michelobomi give publicity to her own designer, so she can get more free clothes of her own). Michelobomies Britney Spears fit, cost the magazine a fortune $ in delays, fitting, lighting, back-grounds, props, make-up artists, hairstylists, eyelash weaves, reapplying teeth make-up, staffing, delayed flights, other customers, cramming for deadline, overwriting the article to say pink. Pink is a tricky color to work with last minute. The magazine should send Michello a bill!!!

Reporter Darlene Superville must be AP’s pre-feminist Brittney Spears groupie.

“Laura Bush says she wished she’d realized earlier the power she had as first lady.”

How does Darlene compare Michele’s O’s fashion tea-partys with starletts as power compared to the

First Lady Laura Bush’s power and hard work for children’s education, women’s health issues and rights.

Michele focuses on fashion, the famous, educated wealthy children, she ignores the failure of the Obama’s administration in driving Afganistan back to hell.

Laura started started the U.S. Afgan-American Women’s Council.
Laura had girl-scouts sending school supplies to girls in Afganistan attending school for the 1st time in their lives. She continues her work with them though

The minute Obama was elected, all progess disappeared. 15 girls had acid thrown in their faces, after the new rule they could not attend school anymore, while Micheles invites children to volunteer and grow her garden instead of their own.

While Michele does fashion magazine shoots with her bareless arms

the women in Afganistan are back to wearing hoods with no eye-lets, and imprisoned in their homes.

Laura Bush fought for breast cancer, while Michele model’s clothing.

Laura Bush pushed for HIV/AIDS study and global aid, while
Michele decides which shoes go best with what dress, and which interview will write the biggest check to her live in mother.

Shame on AP’s neglecting real issues, stooping to what sells the best to idiots.

They didn’t want to cancel the shoot because an IRS audit would soon be on its merry way.

If everyone did what I do and just ignore the woman it would be a better world. I once encountered some Hollywood self-important moron in a gift shop here in Vermont, I can’t even recall his name now, who tried to cut in line at the checkout so I told him to get his butt to the back of the line. He pulled that “Do you know who I am?” BS on me. I replied no, I had no idea whom he was and boy did he throw a hissy fit. He couldn’t believe I didn’t have any idea who he was. I imagine Mrs. Oblah-blah would be the same. Too many people fawn over these idiots, tell them all to screw.

…..”She reminds me of a horse. Walks like one….”

But a horse is supposed to walk like that. Her walk reminds me of that of a hod carrier I used to know. But then, he was carrying a hod of mortar at the time.

Anyone catch the cover of Oprah’s magazine when she and MO were on it? O’s hands are clasped as if in prayer to MO. They can’t possibly be serious with this BS, can they? It also appeared to be more of a candid shot, as if they were in the middle of a conversation. I don’t recall any of O’s covers being anything other than posed. Actually, I don’t remember anyone other than O being on the cover of her own magazine though I can be mistaken.

You know, when I was a teen and learning how to “dress” a wise woman once told me….

“YOU can wear the dress or the DRESS can wear you!”

Appears no one ever told the Belle that.

All the stuff the Brits say about Camilla can go double for the Belle.
She reminds me of a horse. Walks like one.

She’s oaffish, not graceful and has no fashion sense. Sadly she doesn’t seem to realize it.

She was offered help by the fashion mags and refused it.

Reminds me of another piece of good advice. “If someone offers you a breath mint…TAKE IT!”

She should have taken their fashion advice!

I understood your point, Helena, and I agree with your basic premise about controling her own image. And I respect that inasmuch as I wouldn’t want someone making me into something I’m not. My gut feeling is that they weren’t going to do that at all. Rather they were going to work with what they had and were going to enhance what they had.

But, like her husband, she just KNOWS she’s smarter than everybody else. IMO she should pray feverishly for someone to soften her image. Beauty is an attribute that transcends physical appearances. For some reason “lipstick on a pig” keeps popping into my mind.

This guy was really funny. At first I thought this was some sort of satire, then I realized just how enamored he was of all things Obama. His verbal obeisance is a study in servility. You can almost hear the plea, “Oh how I wish I could be ‘them’, even if only for a day.” Is this Chris Matthews’ brother? It sounds like another quivering mass of protoplasm sprung from an identical gene pool..

JohnMG – Didn’t mean to imply you weren’t right. The magazine should have cancelled the whole shoot if, as you say, they had an ounce of courage. Why did they want her on their cover in the first place? The last I read about it, MO’s picture on the cover of any magazine (with the possible exception of Ebony) HURT sales more than it helped them. But that’s their choice. Perhaps they’ll learn to be a little more clear in their communications to “celebs” before the fact.
