PDS Alert: Us Weekly and friends are at it again
Photoshop: David Lunde
Left-wing bloggers have unearthed a new, Deep Important Issue to wield against Sarah Palin:
The personal tanning bed she installed at the governor’s mansion in Alaska.
She bought the used tanning bed from a health club with her own money.
So, what is the point?
Oh, wait, there is none.
But it’s a great opportunity for Palin-haters to mock her looks again and for Obama cultist publisher Jann Wenner to use Us Weekly to bash Palin again:
Some of the nutroots haters seriously argue that Palin’s tanning bed is a sign of “elitism” akin to John Edwards’ $400 haircuts.
Here’s the TPM Muckraker blog clucking its tongue:
“The news of Palin’s luxurious purchase — beds can cost as much as $35,000 — presents a sharp contrast to the blue-collar persona she projects on the campaign trail.”
Can they be more out of touch? Tanning beds have long been derided as “white trash” and “redneck.”
The “elitist” thing to do would have been for Sarah to have hired a personal umbrella carrier to shield her from the sun.
Next up: Us Weekly and company investigate the Sarah Palin’s eyebrow waxing appointments, Todd Palin’s beard grooming preferences, and the children’s dental hygiene habits.
America must know the truth!
***
Allahpundit points out the health benefits of tanning beds non-Alaskans have ignored. Having lived in Seattle for more than three years, I know exactly what light deprivation does!
***
On a related note, Us Weekly has now gone to Amazon.com for help in boosting its sagging circulation after its Palin-bashing debacle. (Guess the five-free issue offer from the rag’s customer service department flopped.)
A reader sends the e-mail notice he received yesterday from Amazon.com.

Does Obama use a tanning bed?
I recall a certain Mr. Obama found that shopping in Germany was a “better use of his time” than visiting wounded soldiers because he couldn’t make a photo op out of it.
“Rehearsed talking points?” LOL! I have heard several instances where Obama fell apart when his teleprompter stopped feeding him lines from Axelrod.
OK, but please spare us the bailouts and the NCLB and the kissing liberal tushy and the presicription cards and such …
That’s why Vice President Palin is such a breath of fresh air. She may actually take the legality of such things into consideration if she winds up in the White House.

I would bet any amount of money that Edwards gets tans. And when that becomes a top story over here… then, and only then will you have a point.
When we joked about Edwards getting a $400 haircut it really just went along with the rest of his persona. Trying to paint Palin as an elitist is an attempt to harm her image.
Conservatives laugh at Edwards getting a $400 haircut. Liberals use Gov. Palin having purchased a USED tanning bed with her OWN money as means to discredit her. See the difference?
On September 16th, 2008 at 10:34 am, MarcoPolo said:
My uncle owns a video rental-tanning bed business and he sells his used beds on Craigslist for about five-twelve hundred, depending on their logged hours of usage.
Also, I’ve never met or heard of anyone outside of some fear-monger report by the MSM, who claims to have been diagnosed with cancer from a tanning bed or booth.
I found it! Looks like Saracuda had the gumption to veto a bill that was made unconstitional by a court order nine days earlier. An outstanding legal mind there. Is she going to debate Barack Obama on strict constructionism?
I guess “lefties” make up 70%+ of our country.
It’s not that she supports cutting taxes for the rich. It’s that she thinks Bush didn’t.
That’s not fair, actually: She knows where Russia is, because she can see it from her house (which means she also has national security experience!). But yeah, you’re probably right on the rest.
I actually think that when David Brooks is questioning the candidacy of Republicans — and rarely does he do the Dems any favors — something must be amiss:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/16/opinion/16brooks.html?_r=3&ref=opinion&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
Gov. Palin is going on Hannity…I think tonight. Of course, she will be criticized for giving an interview to a right-winger who will go easy on her. On the other hand, most lefties are afraid to go on any FOX program for fear of being crucified. Whenever I see one of them on FOX, I am under the impression they have been treated very fairly. But the left says they were “grilled”. Perception! I thought O’Reilly did a good job on Obama and brought out how obviously socialist Obama really is!
Refer to the answer to Question D3 of the Battleground Poll.
The brain dead media in this country resides about 20 feet below whale excrement.
What I find completely hysterical (besides liberals in general) is the fact that they continue to espouse that she is an inexperienced idiot but also extols that we don’t know enough about her stances. Which one is it? Either you have all you need to know about her or you don’t know enough about her and are simply smearing this woman because she is Republican.
My, my, how things have changed. At first, liberals were so “happy” over the Palin selection… “this is great for my candidate” and all that jazz. Boy, have things changed.
I am very sure 70%+ of the nation does not think bush is satan.
Why should she? They’re doing a fine job of smearing and taking her out of context without her lying prostrate before them.
So who are you, Kreskin? Her 80% approval rating begs to differ with your presumptive judgment. It’s so tiresome when liberals try to denigrate as stupid any Republican with whom they disagree. They tried it with Ford, Reagan and the first President Bush and what did it prove? It’s old, and pointless.
Why? Because she’s a looks obsessed female, or because she’s a “pretty” girl?
Alaska has long periods of dark days. She might have the tanning bed as a means to provide the effects of sun light. The lack of sun light can cause depression for some people.
This is my favorite of the day. I do recognize that Obama going to Trinity for 20 years and being associated (albeit loosely) with a former terrorist makes him less than a perfect candidate, to put it nicely. I’m the first to admit that before it was between him and Hillary (and John Edwards), I was Mr. Barack-Obama-Give-Me-A-Break.
Y’all on the other hand are pretty much the textbook definition of water carrier. Think about the outrageous statements you make defending Mrs. Perfect!
Her husband was a member of a secessionist party for seven years, and all you can say is Todd Palin’s not running for VP?
Sarah Palin attended said party’s convention in 2002 as mayor and addressed it in 2006 as governor, and you buy her excuse that it was a “courtesy?” When was the last time the gov of your state addressed his opposing party’s convention?
Sarah Palin attended a Pat Buchanan rally wearing his button, before endorsing Steve Forbes, and you still buy the same “courtesy” excuse? Would your Republican mayor attend an Obama rally wearing his button?
She went to 5 colleges in 6 years, and you say all that means is she likes to travel!
Seriously, put down the water for just a second, do some critical thinking, and acknowledge this woman isn’t quite what she’s cracked up to be.
Then explain her global warming flip flop!
And here come the “Palin is dumb” smears. My god, its like a broken record….
Ah…… she clearly articulared the basic premise of the Bush Doctrine as it relates to an imminent threat in the EDITED version released by ABC.
So, then you really have no point at all.
Try going to the AIP website and READING it. Stop spreading lies.
And you have nothing that proves anything else so STOP SPREADING LIES
Barack will be debating McCain. I don’t blame you for being confused. I’m sure you all wish she were at the top of our ticket. Maybe you will get your wish in 2012.
How many of you actually pay taxes?
Amazing isn’t it how they are expending all this energy and lies on the VICE presidental candidate?
MSM, going all the way back to DEWEY/TRUMAN, have tried to pick their winner for the AMERICAN VOTER… It did not work than, and nor has it worked in subsequent elections… Unfortunately for MSM the AMERICAN VOTER isn’t quite as STUPID as they believe… Not then, not NOW…
Stop carrying water! They say they just want the right to vote on statehood. Right. They’re the Alaskan Independence Party. And their founder was interviewed and said: “The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government.” If he says that in interviews, imagine what he says in person!
Just like Obama thinks there’s 57 states!
Perhaps tanning beds are “white trash.” I can’t say that I’ve ever known an outspokenly liberal woman with a tan. Then again, outspokenly liberal women tend to shy away from soap, shampoo, wax, razors, and scissors as well.
RSS, I have read the website, clearly you have not.
talking to you is pointless since you clearly are not interested in the truth.
No problem It’s actually 4 colleges in 5 years. Via Wiki:
The reference goes to an AP article in the Anchorage paper which is inaccurately headlined “Palin education took her to five colleges.” That last stop is a RETURN to the University of Idaho. The term at Matanuska-Susitna College could very well have been a summer term. Many people who go to an out of town or out of state college pick up a couple of credits closer to home over the summer. I know it may be hard for liberal elites to understand, but a lot of people can’t afford to go four straight years to an out-of-state or private college. They may start at a community college and transfer, or do a semester or two close to home to reduce the expenses of going to school out of state. It is also common to take more than 4 years to complete a degree, especially if one is working during the school year.
For all you feminists = hypocrites: If not Vice President Palin…who? If not now…when? This is first REAL chance to elect a female to the highest office in the land, and the feminists hypocrites are trying to destroy it. It’s funny and sad all at the same time!
Here is a set of numbers that has a bit more relevance than Sarah Palin’s tanning bed purchase.
Look what Barack accomplished in three short years. And who were the primary promoters of opening up the subprime market by Fannie Mae?
See John McCain? No, he’s about 70th on the list.

Actually, with all due respect, every source I’ve seen online has shown her favorability ratings plummeting. See here (and note that this references both a poll conducted by a liberal site and a nonpartisan poll):
http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/09/palins-favorability-numbers-eroding.html
Good grief. I try really hard to keep up with popular culture, but I had never heard of this one. I’ve never used a tanning bed myself but only because I try to keep my natural, pure whiteness unblemished (that’s a joke, people!), so what I’m trying to understand is why would a “redneck” want a tanning bed? Wouldn’t there be the risk of turning all red as a result?
I’m just utterly and honestly confused regarding this. In any event, I can imagine an awful lot of “Us Weekly’s” readers using or wanting such beds.
http://www.akip.org/platform.html
Try actualy reading it.
Why would I possibly vote for a woman who opposes everything I believe in? Feminism doesn’t mean dumbly giving your vote to anyone with ovaries. That’s completely missing the point.
A tanning bed controversy!? That she paid for!?
I’m STILL voting for her tanned ass. Suck on that one, lib babies.
Y’all on the other hand are pretty much the textbook definition of water carrier. Think about the outrageous statements you make defending Mrs. Perfect!
Perhaps, I’ll try your tactic on you:
I do recognize that Todd Palin was a member of the secessionist party for seven years and being married to Palin makes her aless than a perfect candidate, to put it nicely.
Another “loose” association.
Loose association.
You tell us what you think we should say about this? In the meantime, can you ask Sen. Obama to release his school records from Columbia?
Right back at cha!
Explain all of Obama’s flip flops? Do you realize how ridiculous you sound?
Rightwing…you are correct, of course. There are plenty of things from the Bush Administration that we DON’T want to continue for four more years! But there are also many things he did right and I still think he is better than an Obama!!! While I do think Pres. Bush has lost his way on a number of things, he still did what he thought was right and I believe history will show him in a better light.
Palin put the fear ‘em and I am lovin’ it.
Obama is running for President against John McCain, not Gov. Palin. She won’t be debating Obama on anything. You and Obama seem to have forgotten just who he is running against. All this negative hoopla over a Vice Presidential candidate is unseemly.
I know. How terriable that she should use her own money to buy something
Ha! Trinity’s website is pretty innocuous too, but we all know who’s behind it and what it really stands for!

In response to my comment:The only people who think George Bush is satan are the lefties. Continuing some of his policies is a GOOD thing. Cutting taxes is something George Bush did and continuing that is necessary.
On September 16th, 2008 at 11:01 am,
Did you miss it when I said the word, “satan”? Most of the country disagrees with some of Bush’s decisions. But most of the country does not think he is “satan”. Only the liberals are that hateful.
Eugenics is an ugly thing, and they can call it pro choice all they want. But in the words of Barack Obama “you can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig”

Be serious. Although I think this “Conservative Women Are Hotter Than Liberal Women” ridiculousness that sometimes gets posted here is just silly, the fact that an awful lot of the women who are recognized as among the most beautiful in the world are actresses (who, btw, are overwhelmingly liberal) means this is an argument you really don’t want to have.

I agree. I don’t think it helps Obama to even acknowledge the Governor. Personally I am terrified that this woman who is so close to being President (since you-know-who isn’t getting any younger) is as dangerously unqualified as any I have ever seen.
Just my opinion, you have yours. It’s been fun, but I have other things to do (you wouldn’t know it

Yet she is far more qualified than your PRESIDENTAL nominee. Sad.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Which_7_presidents_did_not_graduate_college
While Palin did actually graduate from college, the fact that she received credits from other colleges is trivial. It took me 3 colleges to receive my Computer Science degree because I was in the Air Force during college, and ended up moving around a lot. Once again, your liberal argument doesn’t hold water, so maybe you’re the one that should stop carrying it around.
About three months ago US Weekly started showing up in my mail. I toss it out.
Now, I simply take the postcards (2 per magazine) asking me to purchase the subscription, write a note on the back about how I support Sarah Palin and drop them in the mail. I send in two postcards a week. Last week I went to the grocery store, picked up 5 magazines, shook them and mailed in 10 postcards.
This is my simple protest. Easy to do. Each postcard costs .42$ to mail, then it has to be processed.
Just my simple protest.
No muss, no fuss.
Looks like “Redstate” has left the building and NYK has taken over.
Regarding those genuine beauties known as Hollywood actresses…like Pamela Anderson who has told Sarah Palin to “suck it”…those actresses who use botox, liposuction, breast augmentation, gobs of make-up so they can appear more glamourous on the screen..oh and endless touchups on any magazine they appear in…is that the beauty you are referring to? Have you seen any of them without make-up? Yuck. And few of them possess the inner beauty that results from being a really nice, genuine, moral person.

I don’t know who this is about (whom??), but Palin is way more porked up than Obama.
The Chinese like Bush/McCain
Can’t blame the Obamamites for smearing Gov. Palin. It’s an old strategy – to misdirect your opponent and hide your weakness in defense, adopt the offensive mode, using everything at your disposal, including lies and innuendoes. Unfortunately, it’s not working for them, they’re hanging themselves with this gambit and I say, give the lefties all the rope to hang themselves with.
Back on topic…
My mom out of the blue was sent two issues of Us Magazine, including the Sarah Is Satan issue, for some “four issues free” offer. The offer in itself is a ripoff; they keep sending you the mags and bill you for them unless you proactively cancel the magazine. I helped my mom send an e-mail back saying, “Thanks but no thanks.” They are indeed getting desperate.
LGM give up, you lose!

I don’t think that’s true but for the sake of argument…that very point is one I’ve seen used here over and over (ad nauseum) as a means of refuting the validity of Obama supporters’ votes. So why the sudden support of identity politics in the case of Palin?
Yes. That would be the adverbial form of dumb. For more, see Webster’s Dictionary, here:

If feminism is to help ALL women, then how can feminists ignore the first chance to help elect our first woman Vice President and eventual President?
Feminists should leap for joy that at last one of their own sex is not JUST cracking the glass ceiling, but will send it crashing to the floor and will kick it to the curb come November 4th!
Isn’t that the aim of sexual equality, to have the sexes participating equally in high positions? Shouldn’t feminism’s first goal be to elect a woman to the office of VP-President, regardless of her political leanings, so as to ease Americans into the idea of a female President? Then, after the U.S. has accepted the concept of women in the presidency, move back to supporting females who tow their line (pro-abortion liberals) for president?
They just do not get it. She purchases something USED (You know…that whole recycling thing) and installs it herself, FAR CHEAPER than the $35,000 that they are claiming it costs to purchase and install a NEW one, and THIS is their big “Gotcha”? THIS is what they think disqualifies her from becoming the Vice President of the United States?
I would say maybe we could list a few things that The Golden Calf and Pluggie the WOnderboy have purchased and installed into their homes, but neither they nor the media have bothered to go that deep into the sewer and sold their souls in order the get such worthless, useless, BULLS**T.
If there is anyone that is still receiving this publication at this point, I sure would like to know what their justification is.
And anyone who does not send Amazon, or anywhere else that tries to send them this toilet paper, a refusal letter or to send these issues back with “Return to Sender…Unwanted Garbage” written in huge letters with Magic Marker all over the cover, I would sure like to know why and what their rationalization of obtaining and reading something so outrageously worthless is?
Yup. And they’re still a far cry from Ann Coulter or Laura Ingraham, the two women on whom this absurd idea seems to rest. My point is, if you’re going to go on absurd rants about how liberal women are unattractive and conservative women are great beauties (in itself a dumb, baseless and pointless argument to begin with) then you should probably consider that the women our society has deemed “most beautiful” are overwhelmingly liberal.
I didn’t realize you had so many close, personal relationships with Hollywood A-Listers to be able to make this claim with such authority.
This thread seems to have been taken over by trolls. I don’t have time for this! I mean, we discuss the issues with them in a clear logical way and they still don’t get it. So why waste our time? Liberals are the most pig-headed people on the planet. You could try putting lipstick on them but they are still pigs. Bye.
Actually…um, no, it isn’t. This is a complete and total warping of feminist ideology. What’s more, I thought you guys were against identity politics.
Feminism exists so ugly women can get jobs.
O.K. One more comment before I leave this thread for more productive activities. You have a point there…I don’t have any close personal relationships with Hollywood A-listers, nor would I ever want to. However, I do watch the news and read the papers. I see the drug abuse, divorce rate, suicides, drunk driving arrests, spouse stealing, etc. that goes on in Hollywood as a matter of course. It is obvious that the moral standards out there is not the same as regular, normal Americans. Sorry, it is just a fact. And don’t tell me that normal Americans also do those things. Yes,some do, but a majority of Hollywood actors have those kinds of morals as their normal lifestyle. Now, I really must go. Have fun.
The Governors Mansion in Illinois has a heated driveway. Gov. Hairspray does not even live there and his travel to/from Chicago are on the taxpayers. Which is worse? Oh, I forgot to mention, Rezko went to jail because of Gov. Bag-O-Chips.
Liberals can only complain – they don’t make things better.
A good example is to check the major liberal strong hold cities and see when the last time they had a Republican Mayor. Also check out the problems they are enmeshed in and it keeps getting worse – welfare; crime; bankrupcy, fraud, waste, and the list goes on.
If liberalism were the answer, these cities wouldn’t be rated as the worst.
Here’s a hint – check out Detroit.
“My point is, if you’re going to go on absurd rants about how liberal women are unattractive and conservative women are great beauties (in itself a dumb, baseless and pointless argument to begin with) then you should probably consider that the women our society has deemed “most beautiful” are overwhelmingly liberal.”
Nonsense. What evidence do you have to support such a statement?
1 of you libs out there, tell me what, if Gov. Palin is such a flack, self absorbed, arrogant, bible packing, gun clinging, over spending of the peoples taxes, redneck, backward, hayseed, are you so afraid of?
Gov. Palin has ‘em runnin’ scared and I love every step of their down fall.
I’ll bet she doesn’t even pay carbon offsets for the extra energy that bed uses!
Walk before you run, Feminists, or else you run the risk of forever staying in place. No one gets everything all at once.
Check out the insanity of Iamsaved:
Jeez lady – what are you saved from?
The greatest cities in America are liberal, that’s because they are wealthy, diverse, international and well educated.
What I don’t understand is why you guys are so hostile towards: wealthy, diverse, international, well educated types – all of these people are your brothers and sisters.
Red State Skeptic said, “Personally I am terrified that this woman who is so close to being President (since you-know-who isn’t getting any younger) is as dangerously unqualified as any I have ever seen.”
Funny how a patriotic, accomplished woman terrifies the crap out of liberals, but homegrown terrorists and criminal associations don’t faze them at all.
With Palin, we risk losing what we already have.
Mmmmm…I disagree on the wealthy part. But as for the rest of your list, I too find the hostility baffling.
Let me guess – the country you love is France?
Ilovemycountry said, “Jeez lady – what are you saved from?
The greatest cities in America are liberal, that’s because they are wealthy, diverse, international and well educated.”
San Diego’s not liberal. Our financial problems here were started by and enabled by liberal council members and unions. Aside from these clowns, we’re a decidedly Conservative city. There are many others. All as wealthy, diverse, international, and well educated as any other place.
“What I don’t understand is why you guys are so hostile towards: wealthy, diverse, international, well educated types – all of these people are your brothers and sisters.”
Class warfare and
penisenvy are part and parcel of the liberal mentality. “Tax the rich!” This mantra is yours, not ours. Own it.Where was all of this left wing whining about a VP’s experience when Silky was on the Dumocratic ticket with Kerry?
He did have better hair than Palin, though; I’ll give him that.
Speaking of sexist commentary on Palin’s appearance, our local paper, the Rocky Mountain News, had several articles about the candidate’s appearances here yesterday. The article on Palin described what she was wearing but the article on Obama didn’t. Since both articles were accompanied by pictures, what the heck does her clothing have to do with anything?
Tanning bed? You mean because Alaska can be really dark during the winter? Off to work in the dark, home from work in the dark, and no vitamin D in between? Yeah, this is a real scandal, and paid for with her own money.
Isn’t US down to Me at this point – Wenner and no subscribers?
Huh?
Part of your problem is the belief that we are “hostile towards wealthy, diverse, international, well educated types.” We, ourselves, make up those people. Nice try at the backhanded compliment, but no deal.
The other part of your problem results from your obvious need to wield your diverse, international credentials around as some sort of badge of honor. That’s sad. All the while looking down your nose on those less fortunate than yourself and claiming to help them. When all you do is keep them in poverty. But I digress.
It isn’t about hostility or any kind of “envy”.
It’s the tendency of the wealthy and so-called diverse people to think they know what’s best the country and the tendency of them to attempt to enforce their standards on the rest of us.
It’s elitist.
The wealthy and powerful on both sides of the aisle in congress are guilty of it.
My post in response to Ilovemycountry… won’t post. Argghhhh

What do the Obama supports say to this?
supports = supporters…
John Edwards – probably why the liberals believed he was qualified with zero experience to be VP versus Palin – better hair.
And probably smoother hands, too!
Ahhhh yes, the arrogance of the gosspip rag on display. I see they haven’t learned their lesson. Will US Weekly go after Obummer for his high-priced fundraisers that bely his whole he cares about the little people meme? Since US Weekly is now on the hypocrisy trail let’s at least focus some of that attention on Obummer, the biggest hypocrite of all.
How ’bout all those lobbyists that work for Obummer and bundle all that cash for him? Will we hear about that? Of course not, the elite media isn’t interested in truth just results.
Whatever…. nice way to get those lost subscribers back I must say.
Does anybody know if Gov. Palin plans to put Air Force 2 on ebay?
ILOVEMYCOUNTRY:Those rich, diverse (homosexual and tranvestite), international,well educated types, manage to live in enclaves like fortified cities protecting themselves from the prolatariat riff-raff where all the crime, welfare, fraud, waste and abuse go on. They take care of themselves while the rest of those so-called cities rot under liberal, Democratic rule. All the libs offer is rhetoric and never any action.
BTW, why don’t we ever see those rich, well-educated liberals helping in the food lines and disaster relief efforts when there is a need? They’re about as scarce as Muslim relief agencies.
We, ourselves, make up those people. Nice try at the backhanded compliment, but no deal.
The other half results from your obvious need to wield your diverse, international credentials around as some sort of badge of honor. That’s sad. All the while looking down your nose on those less fortunate than yourself and claiming to help them. When all you do is keep them in poverty. But I digress.
Part of your problem is the belief that we are “hostile towards wealthy, diverse, international, well educated types.” We, ourselves, make up those people. Nice try at the backhanded compliment, but no deal.

Proof that the Dems have put on the Cloak of Stupidity in preparation for loosing the election. It’s 4 colleges. And so what? I went to 5 colleges in 4 years. Summers to both fill out credits and try something different, and one at an exclusive institution, and one switch for financial reasons. Obama went to Occidental College in LA for two years. Why? Maybe he couldn’t get in to Columbia without upping his grades after being a high school druggie layabout. Maybe not. Whatever, people follow different paths. I notice Palin went first to Hawaii Pacific. Fun but can be expensive so she switched back home. Wow – big deal.

Barack Obama’s pal domestic terrorist William Ayers said for an interview published 9/10/08 in the New York Times that he wished he had done more than the deadly bombings he and his “Off the Pigs, kill your parents” pro-Manson counterparts in the Weather Underground carried out.
Imagine what Ayers
saidsays in person!So, let’s recap: The AIP’s “Hatred for the American government,” but no terrorism, no bombings vs. Ayers/Dohrn’s stated aim to overthrow the government, bombings of police property, bombing of the U.S. Capitol, and — oh yeah! — actual DEAD PEOPLE. In the words of Ayers, “Guilty as sin, free as a bird.”
Obama has murderous, radical friends who have a long-standing history of hating America, putting that hatred in deadly action, AND we have THEM on video.
Even if your nonsense was true, what exactly is it that you think America has to fear from Sarah Palin if she should become Vice President? Is she going to sign an executive order liberating Alaska? Wake up and smell the red herrings.
Going after Todd Palin as supposedly anti-American is a loser strategy because it opens up Obama’s wife for scrutiny. You don’t want that.
And ain’t it funny that Michelle’s trying to act like SHE’S “Mrs. Perfect” housewife all of a sudden? She couldn’t make it to Ground Zero on 9/11 because she had to register her daughters at school…right.
