Is this DU or the online Tiger Beat magazine forum?
I log on this morning and what do I see? "Isn't Michelle Obama just spectacular!" "Can you IMAGINE the inaugural ball?? It will be to DIE for!!" "I've got a beautiful picture of her. No wait, I've got an even MORE beautiful picture of her!!"

Its like we've been overtaken by teenagers. I guess if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Where can I go to get a big poster of her to put on my wall?

1. If you were here in the 2004 primaries
You would have seen such threads. They're entertaining for supporters, nobody else.

Hide the threads you don't want to see and have a beer, you'll feel better :beer:

9. I think it's just natural gushing
compensatory over-reaction.
It allows people all kinds of secondary gains.

But you are right - the gushing is amusing. I remeber being amazed at how the r/w gushed over Laura Bush in much the same way.

It allowed them to trash Teresa Kerry without even mentioning her name.

I think she seems like a fine person. but these people better keep up the gushing because this is going to be a scalding election season and the real ugliness has yet to begin.

13. Well, Junior hates socializing and has had precious few State Dinners which are actually important
Edited on Wed Apr-16-08 08:06 AM by cryingshame
in the context of creating an open environment where political players can exchange ideas and form relationships.

And there is nothing demeaning or sophomoric in commenting on someone's appearance when they're in the pubic eye.

Politics, as opposed to governing, is theater and a great deal of that involves costuming.

15. speaking as one of the founding members of the du Fashionista`s
we have made it our burden to post pictures and comments on laura bush`s choices of drapery,sofa,and other incredibly awful fabrics and designs of her clothes. i won`t bore you with other gory details but it is safe to say the michelle will bring a much needed breath of fresh air into the whitehouse...

Michelle will once again bring glamor and beauty to the white house....

16. People are just excited
about their candidate. No real harm in that, and they're not breaking any rules when they post stuff like that.
