Bitter half alert: Michelle Obama’s makeover and View debut; Update: “It’s fun to look pretty!;” Pantyhose or no pantyhose?; “Empathetic,” not “pathetic”
*Video highlights, lowlights, and suck-uplights at Hot Air.*
She’s baaaaaaack. On the front page of the NYTimes. On The View at 11:00am Eastern with Barbara Walter’s gabbling gals.
But don’t you dare breathe a negative word about anything she says, you hear?
You racists! You mean, wife-beating conservative Thuglicans!
Not that we need to watch The View to predict the softball questions they’ll ask. Here, I will save you the time:
Whoopi (furrowed brow, concerned tone): How do you deal with all the negativity?
Michelle: It’s hard. It’s hard. But I’m so proud. Proud of how I–we, Barack and I, and our children–have handled the stress. We’ve made sacrifices. But this is not about me–us. This is about the souls of America. I am a patriot. I love this country.
Joy: But how do you balance the work and the family? How do you balance it all?
Michelle: It’s hard. It’s hard. But I’m so proud of how we’ve managed to balance and sacrifice. Sacrifice.
Entire View table: Mmmmm.
Sherri: Ok. Tough question now: Where did you get those pearls?
***
Ok. I’m tuning in. She’s just done the fist bump with all the yammerers. Walters is reading from the NYTimes and asking about the attacks on her.
So I got the questioner wrong, but I got the question right. And the answer: Michelle says she is patriotic and that she takes the attacks in stride:
“I am proud of my country, without a doubt.”
Walters perpetuates the Michelle Obama-as-GOP victim meme. Of course.
Blah-blah. Diversity pabulum. Obama: “People aren’t used to strong women.”
Who is she talking about?
Whoopi is so excited she knocked her coffee mug over and spilled on herself.
At least she’s not ogling or weeping yet.
11:17am. Back from a break. Did I call it again or what?
Sherri gushes over Michelle’s sleeveless dress and toned arms. Sherri: “You look gorgeous!”
Michelle: “It’s fun to look pretty!”
Whoopi claims TV only shows ugly black woman and she thanks Michelle for being a pretty black woman.
I’m not kidding.
Walters grills Michelle about…pantyhose.
Michelle’s against pantyhose.
Whoopi slavers over Barack’s Father’s Day speech.
Walters: Did you want Barack to be president?
No. “Politics is mean…Obama was sweet, “empathetic.”
Sherri: “Did you say pathetic?” Tittering.
Yeah, I was tittering, too.
Ding. I called it again: Michelle talking about her “sacrifices.”
Barack doesn’t take out the garbage anymore.
Boo-hoo.
Back after a break. Matthew Broderick comes on. His son is an Obama fan. “He really follows the election and he really takes to your husband.”
Michelle: “You know, kids are drawn to Barack. I think it’s because his name is easy to say.”
I can’t really take much more of this.
11:45am Eastern. Discussion is about Las Vegas. Michelle Obama’s mom has won $17,000 playing slots.
God damn America!

As much as I hate to agree with Nyk. Think she’s right.
aj
dakine probably has a headache and can’t see very well … just got hit in the eye from the sparklies coming off of a too tight Victoria’s Secret thong …
Obama’s Volume 104 is the least cited volume of the Harvard Law Review in the past 20 years. Wonder why?
http://blog.vdare.com/archives/2008/02/12/how-good-was-obama-at-running-the-harvard-law-review/
That’s the differece. Mo and B.Ho are two people that feel that they were entitled to it and more…and then complain about having to pay for dancing lessons.
Good post and nice to see you. In law school I did a paper on Thomas, and was not shocked to find out about how affirmative action aided him in education.
I also think that his quota swap to SCOTUS was was one of the most laughably pandering moves I’ve seen in politics. Affimative Action can indeed fail miserably sometimes:)).
Well said.
Because JOHN is so hard to say?! LOL
Oh, maybe she meant the OBAMA part. Yeah, that’s so much easier than MCCAIN. *rolling eyes*
What we truly need is a LightWorker for these dark times…funny MO didn’t mention that on the View…
And here comes my lunch back!
Sort of says something about Republican SCOTUS nominees when their affirmative action beneficiaries are intellectually superior to the Democrat’s mainline nominees (Breyer, Ginsburg).
I bet the kids that survived failed abortions just love the man. He will save their bitter, life clinging, little souls.
“It’s fun to look pretty” She can dress the way she wants but still comes off as bitter and spiteful. Just on big ass-kiss fest for Michell Obama. If you watched Matthew as Joy talked, all he did was stare at her boobs. What a loser. Can “The View” be more one-sided and stupid?
She was referring to herself, right? I can think of a lot of pretty black woman, and sorry, Michelle Obama is NOT one of them. Maybe Whoopie has been hanging with a certain “white” female talk show host lately, as was hitting on Michelle…wink, wink, nudge, nudge?
Or…was Whoopie calling Winfrey, ugly? No, matter. Whoopie is a liberal, and will never be held to task for her insinuation that dopey Opey was an ugly black woman…but if the conservative white woman on that show had said it? Heh!
Yeah, okay. An extreme lefty website as a real reference. Must be true.
Well tell big mouth Michelle Obama. You can’t criticize what you don’t say.
Talk to the lefty chicks on the View. Especially that “ugly” Whoopie pie.
No.
mistress just-ice said:
Yeh take a look at yourself. You should be serving burgers at Wendy’s.
Again, I wouldn’t consider graduating cum laude as honors, especially in Obama’s major that he took at Harvard. But, I guess I’m a white elitist.
Always nice to see you here, mistress!
Hmmm…I’d be curious to know how you arrived there. It’s pretty hard to fully assess the legal insight and intellectual prowess of Thomas, since he’s the only justice who doesn’t ask questions — in fact, he didn’t even make a peep for two full years — from the bench. And his written opinions have been the source of some controversy (although, that sort of thing is highly subjective). If your issue with say, Bader-Ginsburg, is how she votes, that’s one thing. But that’s not really proof that she’s dumber than one of her (mostly silent) peers.
Dakine as an Obama supporter, I’m starting to love these MO threads. I prefer the right to goofily bash on Michelle Obama than to remind moderates that Barack wants to give D.L.s to illegals.
One of my right leaning co-workers offered this gem the other day:
“You know, my wife can be a crazy, big-mouthed bi@$% someetimes too, but it doesn’t affect how well I do my job. I’m worried about Barack’s readiness and policies, and I’m fu@!#%%$ tired of hearing about his wife.”
Priceless.
Michelle Malkin, please keep these coming.
I can tell you that the blogoshere is down right mean in 2008, but for the first time in my adult life, I’m really proud to be a part of MichelleMalkin.com.
Keepemcoming girlfriend.
Dang, Oprah! Whoopie just called you and Tyra UGLY!!
And she knows ugly.
That’s gotta hurt.
Well, academic institutions do consider it graduating with honors, which is why they note the distinction in the first place. In fact, the direct translation of laude is honors (hence the use of the phrase “Latin honors”), while the preceding Latin word indicates the exact level of achievement.
Michelle, notice how the left gravitates to your ‘lowest’ blog threads and have nothing to say on the more serious and intelligent ones. This is a ruse for sure. BO has to be the weakest candidate in the history of the Presidency and all they can do is accuse you of attacking MO; who is a racist herself anyway you look at it. Ask the the leftist scum on this thread like MJ, Nyk and that RINO dakine if they ever read MO thesis paper from Princeton. A true work of art. It’s funny how the paper tigers on this thread do nothing but growl.
True Nyk , however it’s the lowest honors title you can receive. You know after magna cum laude and summa cum laude. But let’s not split hairs.
I don’t care how you know if this person quoted was ‘right-leaning’or not, but no nice man would ever say anything like that about his wife.
Did Elizabeth Hasselback get to ask any questions?, or did they tie her up in the back like they spoofed on SNL
Is MO proud of me, too? Gosh, I hope so. Or is she just proud of the half of America that isn’t skeptical of her and her husband?
He’s nice enough. John McCain is “right-leaning” and a very nice man, and didn’t he drop a Call Us Next Tuesday on his wife Cindy?
I’m not judging, I’m just saying.
Nyk;
Based on the searches I did, the future Mr. President Barack Hussein Obama graduated Magna Cum Laude from Harvard Law school in addition to being president of Law Review. Not to shabby at all.
Unlike Bush, our next president will be a fine example of academic achievement.
Of course you would think he’s ‘nice’. I’m sure you agree with someone who would say such a thing about the woman he is married to in front of others.
That’s right, and like I said, I think John McCain is nice too.
Plus, u don’t know my friend’s wife. He was being lenient.
This is silly.
mistressjustice said:
Looks like I got inside the burger flipper’s head. Then again, everyone who believes in communism gets an A.
Right burger flipper?
Silly? Not in the least.
The next time she appears on The View she needs to wear a blouse made from a US Flag, because she wears her patriotism on her sleave.
Oh — just looked it up, and you’re right. Whoops. My mistake. Thanks for the correction!
I bet his National Security Advisor did too. In Community Outreach I believe it was.
BREAKING NEWS:
Does Magna Cum Laude make you a racist?
I agree that MO shoves her foot in her mouth all too often, but MJ makes a solid point earlier.
His wife is a shrill piece of crap.
People are not focusing on the real prize…her socialist, racist, unamerican, arugula eating moron of a husband.
Just saying.
It has, unfortunately, been my experience in dealing with ALMOST ALL liberals, that they are condescending and patronizing to anyone who doesn’t happen to have a string of initials after their name. Michelle Obama Hussein (whatever her name is…) has exactly the same kind of attitude. Two minutes and I’m gagging. And Elizabeth is supposed to be the token Republican–what a laugh. No more View.
McCain entered the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. There, he was a friend and leader for many of his classmates,and sometimes stood up for people who were being bullied. He also became a lightweight boxer. McCain had conflicts with higher-ups, and he was disinclined to obey every rule, which contributed to a low class rank (894/899) that he did not aim to improve.
If you say so mistress idiot. I don’t think McCain cared about academics too much though.
Academic achievement means nothing anymore. Academia is full of marxists, self loathers, Christian bashers, and anti white bigots who only reward those with good grades when they can parrot their hatred for anyone whos opinion differs from their own.
Our country would be better off if we dropped all of academia into the Pacific Ocean.
But littering like that would be unfair to the environment /sarc.
Barack Obama is the classic ivory tower book smart moron. You can clearly see how stupid he is as soon you get him off speech.
Meanwhile Bush has been busy doing the heavy lifting, that Clinton failed to do.
How many times was the US attacked under Clinton vs. Bush?
How many times will the US be attacked if the terrorist appeaser Obama becomes president?
It was a test.

I’ve never seen proof of either of these statements (affirmative action or bitterness). Do you have any?
It has been a busy day today and I finally had a chance to read this. Just reading your report Michelle is enough gag me enough to make me almost throw up in my mouth. My God! The media and entertainment industry really are in the tank for the Obamasiah and his America hating wife.
Heh if Barry O did get Magna Cum Laude, great for him; you can’t take that away from him. I just hope you know that’s about all the leftys have to float their candidate.
I think I saw where Elizabeth will be on H & C tonight. Should be interesting to see what she has to say.
Most libs are educated beyond their intelligence.
sambo said:
Yeh, look at Bush.
In “My Grandfather’s Son,” the memoir Thomas released about a year ago, he dedicated plenty of pages to discussing the role of affirmative action in his admission to Yale and his lingering bitterness about it.
You mean that guy who has not allowed an attack on the U.S. in almost 7 years?
If your gonning to keep making the same point you can at least address my earlier point about his view vs. the Obama (pbuh) family view.
Sambo seriously, you’re right but explain to me why the conservative movement melted down and we now have whackos like MJ and octogenarian lesbians dancing in the streets.
Well, McCain himself said last week: “I’ll admit to you that it’s tough, it’s tough in some respects” to be proud of this country.
Guess he hates America, too. And he hasn’t even bothered to clarify.
I have no idea what the “Obama (pubh) family view” is or what “his view” refers to and yet, I’m sure it’s a point that isn’t worth arguing with you.
Sambo:
Explain to me why the Fed regulations on market speculators have been thrown out the window and are now allowed to jack our gas prices through the roof.
Is a moron like Obama going to fix it? Sure he will, he’ll put a cap on the price of gas. Lol.
Nyk, iron my shirt baby.
Sambo:
If Bush isn’t a liberal why did he bestow the Presidesntal Medal of Freedom upon a bunch of left wing snails? Bush is about conservative like I am Sweeny Todd.
Thanks for reminding me why I don’t watch that show.
Now, could you review Army Wives in a couple weeks. I might forget their big cliffhanger was turning a U.S. soldier into a suicide bomber in a U.S. bar thus wounding and killing innocent civilians.
Is there anything worth watching on TV?
ROFL!!!
Appropriate that atheling would be a fan of the pocket protector wearing dweeb seige.
This reminds me of the old Chris Rock riff about wanting credit for something you should already be accomplishing in the first place.
Here’s hoping the Bush doesn’t allow any terrorist attacks throughout the rest of his term. He may be ranked up there with Lincoln and Roosevelt.
Here’s a pretty good legacy:
1. Gas prices more than double.
2. Go to war on faulty, incorrect, bogus intelligence information.(not saying he lied)
3. Economy is in shambles
4. Only ONE terrorist attack which killed over 3000 people.
This is my favorite lowering of the bar low lying fruit picking statement on W ever.
Yeah, thanks for not getting us nuked, giving away territories, or turning the White House into a crackhouse also, bub.
dakine said:
Hardy har clerk.
If all of you B. Hussein Obama supporters are so filled with confidence and assurance of his becoming #44, then why do you feel the need to come to a conservative site and defend him?
Believe me, you are converting no one – those of us here who will vote this November, will do so for President McCain.
I bet your size is 24-34-56.
I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn’t me tonight.
I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It’s alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I’m real.
See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I’m loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!
Actually a good number are going to vote Constitution Party or write in their own conservative candidate. Tuesday in November will be crazy fun, and there will be a party at MJ’s crib.
Drinkin’ 40’s and smokin’ blunts? You betta give me a table dance girl.
MistressJustice, you’re a petty, small minded liberal who isn’t happy with her life. I am sorry for that. This is a great country, sorry you don’t get it.
Terrig;
Thank you.
The leftists repeat that tired useless mantra only to convince themselves. No one even hears them anymore, when they begin that diatribe.
It is just marketing.
They think if they repeat something long enough it will make it true. It doesn’t. Which only serves to frustrate them more than they already are.
Marketing is all democrats have. They have no new ideas or solutions to any problems. Largely because it is they who created the problems in the first place.
What an utter piece of sugar fluff nonsense. Was Michelle Obummer for being bitter against her own country before she was against it?
I saw some snippets of this moment and I really wanted to gag. Morning television is really a bore. This interview, co-hosting was just an attempt to remake this woman’s image. Yeah, I know understatement of the year!
Will Cindy McCain be treated likewise? Or will she be castigated for stealing a cookie recipe? Oh, the horror!
If anybody even felt that The View was going to give us a realistic portrayal of this woman… think again.
And once again seige shows his bigoted and misogynist colors.

Hey boy. I’ll get you a brand new H2, an AK47, and the full series DVD set of Walker Texas Ranger, if you can find any MJ quotes where I’ve expressed sorrow about my life, or said anything about this not being a great country.
Run along now little punk and get to work. I’ll have your goodies waiting for you.
On the other hand I was looking forward to the Michelle O makeover.
Sort of like Malibu Stacy with a new hat.
Halle Berry, Beyoncé, Brandy, Gabrielle Union, Dana Davis, Whitney Houston, Nichelle Nichols…
Oh yeah, the only black women TV has ever shown have been hideous… I wish I were as hideous as Halle Berry.
mistressjustice says:
I’m glad that nothing happened before 2000–you know, like Clinton’s vetoing drilling in ANWR and attacks on the WTC, USS Cole, etc.–that could have possibly led–or contributed–to these four events taking place between 2000 and now. *eyeroll*
mistress just-ice
It’s a great country and I doubt MJ is having a bad time. Where else can you get straight D’s in school and become a lawyer defending dead beats and drunks because the government forces you to make the minority quota. MJ is laughing her 56 inch hips all the way to the bank. Toke a blunt to MJ; she deserves it.
PS: Can you email me your school paper defending the KKK? I need some entertainment.
Senator Barack Hussein Obama and mamaHussein Obama were a couple of political hacks early on. You get to be a ‘community organizer’ when the Ward Captain says you can. What did he write? Chicago’s version of Das Kapital? “Burn Baby Burn”, new lyrics?
Just asking
It’s not about defending Clinton Jelibean. You’ll have to look elsewhere for that debate. My post was a response to the amazing line about Bush keeping us safe from a terroist attack for 7 whole years(golf clap, clap,..). I think you missed the point.
jellibean said:
Screw it. Let’s go back to Carter and how that snake charming sack of sh*t set the Middle East up for a nuclear showdown. Democrats have set this place up for a big fall so you might as well relax and enjoy a sweet melody. It’s precisely why the Democrat party needs to be purged. If Obama gets elected this country will know an economic and social maliase that will make the Carter years look like peanuts.
You takin’ notes MJ? While you’re at it get me a beer.
What are you talking about? I’ve seen you reference Goldwater Knight by the name “seige” a couple of times. Care to explain?
I didn’t watch the show and never will, preferring to keep my brain cells intact; but I again saw the MO quote “It’s fun to look pretty.” Two comments:
1. As an educated female, I honestly cannot think of any situation, let alone a public one, in which I would utter those words. They’re so high school.
2. MO’s quote reminds me of the much-excoriated talking-Barbie quote “Math class is tough.”
Question: Was MO’s makeover a lobotomy??
emjem24:
Ignore the little gadfly. Notice it never posts any original thought? It can only react to other’s comments.
That’s libtard programming for ya.
.
Now we’re going to play the academic “sticks and stones” game, MJ? Wow, for someone who’s whining about Michelle Malkin being petty about Michelle Obummer, you’re sure one to speak.
And you got to put in an insult just to show what a clever, little Dembot you are too, right? It actually takes a little bit more tact and class than you seem to possess to not pick from the “low-lying” fruit (like the typical Pres. Bush insults).
Yet, that humdinger of a Dem candidate Kerry didn’t fare much better in his Ivy League career. Your insinuation that Pres. Bush isn’t so bright is demeaning. He’s got both a BA and a Master’s degree, which says a lot because many Americans don’t. He doesn’t crow about it either.
I may have problems with Pres. Bush… but your comments really reveal how pathetically petty you, and many in the black community are and continue to be. It doesn’t say much for many blacks when they decide that the best they can do is vote DEMOCRAT because, gosh, gee, they’re the party who gives me my freebies.
Yeah…that’s the ticket.
Hey Michelle:
In a display of bipartisan and multi-cultural unity, why don’t you and Michelle Obama have a playdate for your respective children on The View.
A Michelle on Michelle fist bump would be the grooviest photo op of the whole campaign season. Please make it happen sistah. LOLOLOLOL
In the spirit of “sisterhood” why don’t you actually address some of the issues that Obummer is supposed to greatly improve. Instead of being his zombie cheerleader, why don’t you participate in actual, “civic” discourse that you’ve been trumpeting as MM not having on this blog?
If not, then such comments are pointless and irrelevant, pretty much like this political season and your Dem candidate.
Oh, BTW, your comment about how Pres. Bush hasn’t been protecting the country for the past 7 years is the MOST ignorant I’ve heard a liberal say on here. Please, be sure to thank the military members like my husband and Terrig’s husband for defending your right to blather.
Now, carry on…I’m sure you have so much more insight to share with us all.
Emjem hearts Akon:
Why don’t you write President Bush a letter, and tell him how you valiantly defended him and put me to shame.
Emjem24 back with her unrelated, hysterically, obsessive Black people comments. It wouldn’t be Emjem without the race-card coming into play.
Do you allow you children, or grandchildren to play with Black kids?
How pissed do you get when Black folk move into your neighborhood? You’re funny.
Take a shot whenever Emjem vents about her frustration with Black people. You’ll be drunk off your a$$, and rolling over in laughter at this goofy broad.
Blackityblackblackblack and good night.
She musta had a few tokes off a 40. MJ baby send me a few pics of you in a thong, I got that MJ fyre.
You’re dumb too. My comment was about President Bush not being deserving of credit for going 7 years without getting us attacked. He has helped protect us, and that is his MAIN FREAKING JOB, not something to trumpet. Please learn to read.
I guess you gotta give Carter credit too for not getting us attacked in his four years in office. It’s asinine.
If I were your or Terrig’s husband, I’d fight as many tours as possible to escape you shrill, illiterate, hens.
Night you affirmative action hick.
Now I know you’re dipping your blunts in formaldehyde. 444 days mean anything to your wet brain?
Ha.
I’m off to see an awesome band. Thanks for fighting the good fight, mistress.

Hanging out with the drugged perverts I assume, drive safely.
You get that band, girl. Don’t let nobody talk you out of it.
Is this the Messiah thing again? Her hubby’s election is about the “souls” of America?
“The View” is brilliant to have Hasselbeck as the token conservative on the show. She does not speak with any authority in her voice and lacks the assertiveness and conciseness to speak up against the other women’s views. She makes conservatives look weak, whiny, and uninformed. They saw the girl from “Survivor”/”The Look for Less,” and offered her a chair on “The View,” promoting her as the intelligent, conservative voice of the show. All I can say is “smart.”
Do you have any pictures of her in pants with her leg up on a chair?
I mean, just asking…
Keep up emjem and atheling. Goldwater Knight = seige. He’s a pocket protector wearing, bigoted, misogynist dweeb from New York. You got nothin’ for me seige.
