Michelle Obama a slam dunk on 'The View'.
Edited on Wed Jun-18-08 01:09 PM by Drunken Irishman




http://weblogs.amny.com/entertainment/tv/blog/2008/06/quickie_review_michelle_o_on_t.html">Quickie Review: Michelle O on "The View"





The Presumptive Nominee is a happy man right about now. He's fist-bumping whoever he's coming into contact with. He's thinking, "maybe I should make MICHELLE the vice president - hey, Hill was veep to Bill during two terms..." He's thinking, "what did Whoopi just say...Oh, it doesn't matter." He's thinking, "man, that dress was expensive but it was worth every PENNY." He's thinking, "behind every successful man, there's a woman...No, I better NOT think that. That's sexist as all get out. Hill would take me to town on that one...doesn't matter, she's not running anymore. Or is she...?"


...

I'm no Freud, but her sub-conscious seems to match her conscious pretty nicely, if this outing was any indication. She was funny, smart, interesting and - most important - likeable. She even said nice and remarkably disarming stuff about Laura Bush. Michelle O - you don't mind if I call you "Michelle O," do you Michelle? - was seated in the middle of our kaffee klatch crew, and joked immediately (again, shrewdly) about the bump: "It's my signature bump," and Whoopi comes back with a good ice breaker (not that there was any ice to break) with, "you should be really happy it's not a chest bump."

...

Michelle O stepped up to the plate, squared away, and saw a big fat pitch come right down the middle - without ANY heat or motion - connected, and sent that sucker right into the parking lot:

"My answer, and people have asked me this before, is that the one thing that a nominee earns is a right to pick the vice president that they think will best reflect their vision for the country. And I'm just glad I will have nothing to do with it."

Oh, you're good, Michelle O. You're very good.

My local paper has it. I guess these people are unemployed and have nothing else to do.

12. The opening paragraph is a (pardon the pun) "tip-off" that this is really a veiled hit piece.
I'm kind of sorry I posted a good link.

14. It wasn't a hit piece.
The comments, however, are trash.

You just have to ignore 'em.

10. Did you check out the user comments at the bottom?
Edited on Wed Jun-18-08 01:30 PM by muffin1
Apparently, "Joe" doesn't like Michelle because she was once quoted as saying "I am ashamed of my country".
Well, first of all, who ISN'T sometimes (especially the last 7 years)? Secondly, SHE NEVER SAID THAT!
God, save us from idiots.

7. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but.....
I'm actually bummed about missing an episode of The View. Who knew THAT was possible? Damn you Michelle! :rofl:

MSNBC is taunting me by showing clips from this morning so now I have to go on a YouTube and google hunt.

16. What's with your sig line?
If it's supposed to be funny, it's not. It is really just a continuation of Obama hatred, disguised as an attack on McCain.

21. I'm sure she wouldn't think it was funny either
Disgusting to put that quote next to a "parity" of an Obama poster.

23. oh it's the parity poster you find distasteful....i thinks it's great
I'm sorry that you don't.

thanks for the un-lesson.

25. It's the combination of the two that is an attack on Obama
and you know it because you've done little more than that for months now. I was informing you rather than alerting. Next time I won't bother.

27. Yes, and her speaking to Hillary's glass ceiling comment was wonderful
The enthusiasm in her voice and face as she highlighted Hillary's comments was very refreshing
and the two appear to have connected, and are working well together.
