maybe we can get them trending before her speech ends

I especially like the last one. It's inoffensive and hits home for the large majority of 'mericans.

No way I would be able to sit through the bullsh-t she's going to deliver.

You know she's going to try to portray herself as just a regular mom, and portray the president as anti-women. The GOP is using her to try to project THEIR weakness on President Obama. They are going to try to claim it's the president who is waging a war on women.

So I'll skip the speech.

In fact, I'm not watching a single minute of the convention.

Why torture myself?

with some work done to be sure - but she's not truly ugly until she reveals her soul.

She only reinforces how out of touch Mitt is. They are both privileged, heartless liars.

which helped to seal in the mind of the people the excesses of Marie Antoinette, even though much of what was written/drawn was not true. Unfortunately for aromney, most of what's being flung in her teeth is true.

Well, good luck to her humanizing mittiot to a half empty stadium because many delagates had to leave to go tend to homes which may not be standing in tact by the end of the week and large swaths of the country that will be without power, most of which are red states. If the suffering of many good and charitable people weren't inevitable by the end of the week, it would amost be ironic that this is happening to such a deserving pair.

I was actually predisposed toward being sympathetic toward her, mainly because all I knew about her was that she'd been diagnosed with MS.

But CRIMINY!!! She starts opening her mouth and reduces herself down to a smug, arrogant, imperious, and downright nasty little weasel-ette. Who raised five big healthy strapping sons NONE of whom seemed moved by patriotic duty or noblesse oblige to serve his country. Who married a guy whose weird-ass cult wouldn't even permit her own parents to be present for the ceremony. They had to wait outside til it was over. Who presumes to dictate to the rest of us "you people" types that they're not going to be releasing their tax returns - WAAAAAH!!! WAAAAAHHH!!! Because we might pick on them!!!! WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! Oh, heaven forbid we peasants find something to criticize about your ladyship and your ladyship's animatronic escort.

Man, she makes Leona Helmsley look gentle-hearted.

on edit -

BTW, napkinz, THANK YOU for posting these! This is a FANTASTIC thread. Man, look how she's being parodied. OUCH! More imperious than "queen nancy reagan." And she was a real "let 'em eat cake" type. "I'd never wear a crown! It messes up your hair!!!" (Actual quote from her, very early-on in ronnie's first term. May have been the little red braided "crown-like" head piece she wore to the inauguration.) She didn't think she came off that way, but that's how it was, and that's what a LOT of people thought. That's the impression she gave to many Americans. All through those long, nauseating eight years of her damn husband's "let 'em eat cake, trickle-down, millionaires on parade" reign of horror. She was the Enabler-in-Chief.

as just a regular stay-at-home mom , and then go on to blast President Obama as being anti-stay-at-home moms. Is there a word that combines irony and hypocrisy, because there should be.

There's no way I'm watching her tonight. I don't want to make myself sick.

Sent this link to mom and was such a picker upper , I'll have to print this off now. Not sure if following what following Marie's real life story would do to ANN, in cartoon but I'm sure South Park could do it..
