And he’s probably still smoking on the sly, too, which gives me some hope for the future.

It is an awful dress, color wise, and I’ve decided she’s not overweight, she just has big hips, which the dress accentuates. But, frankly, I prefer the so-called first ladies to be a bit frumpy. The office of president is a bit of a joke, anyway, except for the red-button business. The founders could not have imagined the degree of pomp and ceremony that has come to be afforded to these characters, all the white ones and the black one. Hopefully Barry’s tendency to tell rude jokes and shoot the bird when he’s angry (despite all the media nonsense about his great cool) will help bring us back to reality.

Mark, but this post was not about what comes out of her mind or mouth. Trust me, I can say a lot on that subject, too.

Chaz had posts discussing Sarah Palin’s shoes or the way she dresses – without getting into what comes out of her mouth. Why, then, you consider it low-class to to treat our 1st Lady-Elect differently? She’s not even protected by an authority of an office – she’s just a private citizen who happens to be sleeping with an elected official.
Why the double standard?

Well, we know what General Zod thinks about the election.

I… dunno. My readers know I hold no brief for BHO or his termagent wife. But I suspect Lady O’s facing a problem of middle age that catches us all by surprise — no matter how well-prepared we think ourselves. Our bodies change. She may BE dumpy. I think it’s low-class to task her with it. Far more apposite to oppose her on the basis of what’s come out of her mind and her mouth.

Zigzag – YOU might want to welcome her, as your name suggest. Once again – if we are discussing – objectively – the woman on a podium, we have no obligation of welcoming anybody; the word is just inappropriate. Unless you want to let your politics influence your aesthetic sense. Or your sense of self-preservation.
I disagree about the camera, lens, lighting etc – I think the photographer did a stellar job of revealing the essence of the subject.
Red flames on a black background can highly be called “dumpy”. Tasteless – yes. Glaringly low-class – yes. Overall impression of a circus monkey – oh yes

And Chaz show know better.

My turn yet ? I think it is a unflattering photo because of that particular dress construction, AND the harsh lighting which gives a hard edge to her legs and feet, AND the angle of the shot, (from BELOW THE KNEES), AND the LENS of the camera which is distorting the scene. Not because the subject is unattractive or badly dressed. We are getting OVERHEATED here.
Don’t forget, Washington is the POLAR opposite of Hollywood, we do ‘dumpy’ not glamour. So, she is cozying-up in the MOST APPROPRIATE manner possible to her new role — let’s take the high road and WELCOME her.

If I were giving her advice, I say use a seamstress instead of famous and yet-haphazardly made “designer” garments. All women look better in fitted clothes with proper linings.

And Charles knows best.

I wonder how long it will take for the MSM to proclaim that she’s the new Jackie O!! Condi Rice was a babe, Michele is better than pumpin’ my own nads, but not by much.

And buttocks, not bottoks. Although there is a joke here somewhere, about hitting the bottom.
But I’ll let it slide.

Fun, not fan. Pardon me, English is not my native language.
On the other hand, it’s not Indonesian, either.

Don’t see any connection to the uglie on the picture with neither of the two meanings – unless you’re talking politics. And you took pains (oops, double entendre-double fan) to pretend you didn’t – just wanted to admire the dress! No bottoks-kissing here, no sir.

Continue digging, Ch.

Mac, n. usu cap. 1. Apple Macintosh, as distinguished from Windows PCs in entirely too many ads. 2. John McCain, 2008 GOP Presidential candidate. Double your entendre, double your fun.

Mac? Who’s Mac? And what does he has to do with an example of a bow-legged ugly cow in flattened shoes – the topic of this post? Oh, excuse me, the stunning beauty, subject of newly-fashionable adoration of imbecilic half of the populace? Don’t tell me you’d even think of posting the picture of this inkstain if it was just some community-organizer-nobody’s wife.

Unless the topic was something else.

There’s a Mac joke in there somewhere, but I think I’ll just let it slide.

Mrs O’Bummer is not looking at you, Chaz – yet.
Wait until January.

Really, Chas? Comment #1 is a perfect lip-smacking swooning example.
Sorry you’re too PC to notice.

She’s about as hot (I prefer English) as a snake from the swamps – with a face and hair of Medusa Gorgona.

Maybe I missed something here, but I don’t see any buttock-smooching going on in this thread.

There’s plenty of it elsewhere, of course, but I am disinclined to participate myself.

I am not convinced that she’s overweight; I’ve seen too many pictures of her in more flattering gear. The shoes, though, are highly arguable, though I like the height. (She’s five-eleven or so; she doesn’t need much of a boost.)

And for me, hawtness trumps politics. Always has, always will.

She IS bow-legged, as well as overweight. And her feet look too wide for the shoes. How inspirational. ;-) (Aren’t I catty.)

But I doubt the media will ever pick her or their girls apart. They are Dems, after all! They spent the whole campaign fawning over Barry and trashing his opponents, including Mac’s wife and Sarah’s husband. Can’t see them turning snotty now.
