Have you ever seen Michelle Obama and Aunt Esther in the same room together?

I think Michelle might be related to BigFoot

Michelle is a woman? That has to be an urban legend. That could not have been born female.

To all the swooning liberal’s that’s not a “baby bump” it’s all that special $100 an oz. steak that Michelle has been chowing down on since Obama took office.

Did you mean the picture where she looks a good 5 inches taller than Barack (theoretically she’s 5’11 to his 6’2″), or are you talking about her blubbery little beer gut that swooning liberals have been calling a “baby bump” since January?

Yes, but if he bashes and apologizes for the Constitution over dinner with his man-wife each night, doesn’t that count.

Incidentally, if you reference the photo on Drudge today or most of the other recent photos, the one who calls himself “Michelle” seems to keep growing larger and larger.

Too bad Snopes doesn’t debunk all the Sarah Palin bunk/junk the way they debunk O-bah-muhh newsish fakery.

I wish Obama was only an urban legend.

The Snopes entry for the photo has been updated; it now attributes the photo to the IMAO web site.

So, Harvey wrote a fake news piece that seemed real and got people wondering about the fake information being correct? How is this different than today’s journalistic standards, exactly? Good job, Harvey, by the way.

Nice job, Harvey.
Fixed. Sheesh.

Nice job, Harver? Will you soon be revealing to us that all this news we keep reading about the election of Obama and the destruction of the economy by Obama was all Newsish Fakery, and that Obama is a mere urban legend?

It is an urban legend only because nobody can prove it as of now. Just wait for the video tape to come out.

I posted the link to my facebook page, and managed to fool one of my friends. I enjoyed his confusion for about a minute, then burst his bubble.

Basil – thanks

Everyone else – I dropped another note to Snopes requesting (politely) to give IMAO credit for the Obama phone pic. Feel free to pile on (politely) if you’re so inclined:

Snopes generally does good work and they just did IMAO a kindness, so please be nice.

Good comedy always has a slab of truth,
pounded with a satirical mallet,
rolled in the cracker crumbs of mirth,
and fried in the hot oil of trendiness.

And now served with the gravy of
congratulations via Snopes.com.
Way to go.
