FOX Offers Advice To Michelle Obama On Her Convention Style
FOX News has proven to be a consistently dubious source of support for Michelle Obama. Today's exploration of how Michelle Obama can help her husband at the Democratic Convention this week on America's Election HQ was filled with those little hints and nudges meant to reinforce the notion that the Michelle Obama is somehow subversive.

Jane Hampton Cook worked for George W Bush and wrote a book Faith of America's First Ladies . After Colby mentioned that Michelle Obama made some statements about "America and Americans that were controversial", she asked Cook for advice for Michelle, as if she doesn't really know the proper way to behave. Cook curiously chose a Jewish proverb about the wifely role to guide MO before she speaks at the convention, "Do good, not harm". .

Then they discussed the right color for MO to wear. Cook suggested that the choices would certainly only be red, white, blue or maybe pink which was a reminder that MO likes to mix it up with black, brown or purple.

Colby wanted to know if it was "appropriate" for Michelle Obama to speak noting that Cindy McCain had not decided. Cook assured her that Barbara Bush did it so it would be quite all right.
What a relief!

2. Well how thoughtful
Did they offer any help in making sure Michelle did not appear too elitist?

3. Yes, they did ...
They suggested that if asked how many houses she owns, she come up with the correct number.

4. Well, I can just imagine their reactions.
They probably have a spreadsheet of colors worn and the way they'd respond.

Red...communist, or bloods as in gang
White...oreo
Black...terrorist, black panther
Pink...pinko, or wishing her skin color was pink
Green...tree hugger
Brown...multicultural, scary
Blue...blue blood, or crips as in gang.

I recommend Gingham, their brains will explode.

5. Mystery solved. Is it any wonder why all of the right wingers are
a bunch of perverts? This woman sounds absolutely possessed.

10. Michelle has more style in her little finger than
Faux' Barbie dolls have in their combined imbecilic bodies. She's smart, beautiful and will be a First Lady that combines Jackie Kennedy's style with Eleanor Roosevelt's substance. Wish I'd have met her when we were in law school together. I'd have another brush with greatness on my pathetically slim resume.

11. Of all the bizarre and perverse
nonsense, and you KNOW these pukebags are going to throw out whatever disingenious nonsense they can, the way Faux and the media in general go after Michele Obama is just more than I can tolerate.

She IS the american dream - someone who was raised genuinely middle class, who worked her way through school to "do better" than her family, is a dedicated and faithful wife and mother.

A spineless D FINALLY brought this up yesterday, Paul Begala, that if all the crape from Cindy McCain's background was brought up like all the contrived stuff about Michele, things would be different. But, in the bizarre world that is the american corporate media, Michele is actively painted in the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of what she is, and Cindy McCain is given sacred cow treatment.

GOD IT PISSES ME OFF WHEN THEY GO AFTER MICHELE.

12. AS IF Michelle needs style tips from those morons?
No, I don't think so. She's so classy and stylish, just as she is.
