9. You know with all due respect...

Actually no - how about no respect.

She is the second single biggest piece of human waste breathing air at this very moment.
I would NEVER, EVER, hit a woman but I'd like to shake that stupid fucking dim-witted smile off of her vodka drinking, chain smoking mug.

SHE is the WORST FIRST LADY EVER.
SHE has accomplished NOTHING.
SHE stands for NOTHING.
SHE has done NOTHING.
SHE will leave a legacy behind her of NOTHING, she is NOTHING.
Just like her stupid monkey husband.

And the fact that she opens her legs for that fucking monster makes her as evil as he is.

And speaking of evil, look at the top of the stairs.
Is that who I think it is?
