Uhhh, yeah…nice bow-legs there Pecos Pete. As we used to say on the farm: ‘couldn’t stop a boar in an alley’.
And don’t forget those muscles developed through years of bat’leth practice. That had to cost a few thousand darseks.
Funniest part of this, she doesn’t even have the slightest clue that is the case.
Of course, it’s Romney who is out of touch.
Pigeon toed and bow legged,how the hell does she walk.
jamed, she manages to avoid Euler buckling of her leg bones via a synchronized gyration of her ass/belly-balanced pelvis which causes her humorous, tibia and fibula to rotate 180 out of phase while delivering the massive compressive load of her bulk to her precariously balanced feet.
She waddles.
Obviously, I meant “femur” although what I said was an attempt at being humerus.
…and not a brain cell anywhere-PRICELESS
@Pendog – BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
I’m all for pointing out hypocrisy on the left, but lets at least get it correct. Research the dress and it comes in at under $500, which is pricy but no where near the 4 grand claimed. No clue on the earrings but it seems the shoes came from J Crew. So really, there are plenty of ways to attack which are legitimate that we do not need to dilute our arsenal with fabrications.
Gary,
I think the 35 million dollar …yes, that’s 35 MILLION dollar …mansion they’re buying in Hawaii makes that a mute point.
Son of Bob,
Have to disagree. If you want to put up the house as an example of how the One is loaded, than do so. Putting forth an argument such as the one above with fabricated numbers is sloppy and undermines the the position. Bill Murray may be able to say the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor but in any situation outside of Animal House anything you said after that would be disregarded.
Erm…Gary…lets at least get it correct, research the movie…and you’ll find that it was John Belushi, in Animal House, who inveighed about Germans bombing Pearh Harbor.
So really, there are plenty of ways to attack which are legitimate that we do not need to dilute our arsenal with fabrications.
HA! Victim of my own ideals!
Michele and Joe the gifts that just keep on giving.
Gary do you really think the First Lady went to Target to get that dress? Of course you can find it on line for $500.00. You can find all sorts of things online for cheap but that doesn’t mean the Washington elite are going to buy it there. After all the lavish vacations and the out of control spending this group has done do you honestly think $4,000 for a dress is an impediment to them? Really?
Michele is the Marie Antoinette of the United States only with her it’s “let them eat arugula.”
The dress, the house, all these things are *gifts* from anonymous
campaign donorswell wishers so they don’t count. Right?seanmahair,
My point is simply that there are enough legitimate criticisms of the Obama’s that there is no need to fabricate any. Who cares if a $4,000 dollar dress is an impediment or not, it isn’t the point. As Bunkerhillbilly astutely highlighted, being incorrect in your facts can make you look like an ass. I would argue that I made an honest mistake, but that doesn’t prevent me from being taken to task for getting facts wrong when presenting my argument. This makes the image and pulled-from-thin-air $4,000 dollar figure even worse. It was not an honest mistake. It is pure bunk. So, by all means please demonstrate to the world that the Obama’s are hypocrites but do it with real figures and real items.
Take for example the hypothetical situation where a conservative posts the above image on facebook. Any of their progressive friends can Google Michelle’s outfit for that evening and see that it was carefully selected to present an everywoman middle class ensemble. They will learn right away that the figures attached to the image are fantasy. So, instead of making a point about the Obama’s extravagance, our hypothetical facebook conservative has only succeeded in making themselves look like a partisan hack unconcerned with the truth.
Gary – Personally, I *am* a partisan hack, unconcerned with the truth. At least when it comes to funny pictures.
This image isn’t criticism. It’s malicious mockery. And it exaggerates to make a point – which is that Michelle DOES live fancy while demonizing others for doing likewise.
This isn’t a news site, it’s a political humor blog. Hyperbole is our stock in trade. We’re looking to entertain, not inform.
If you want precise numerical figures, read a physics textbook.
And that’s putting it mildly!
Oooh. Oooh. Physics textbook? Great idea! I love physics textbooks.
Speaking of physics (or is it physiques?), I also like my first lady’s appearance to match her personality. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. This time, I actually like that dress on her for a change. But it doesn’t match her personality which is as phony as a nine dollar bill.
I never once could say that about Laura or Barbara Bush.
Harvey,
I appreciate your posts on this site as much as the next guy and I’m probably going to be flamed for saying this, but I disagree with you on your classification of that image. The prices attached are well within the realm of possibility so as to present a credible juxtaposition. A person does not look at this and think “hyperbole” because it is not an obviously gross exaggeration. Though I will agree that it does entertain.
Regardless, my position is simple. There is a freaking war going on between the ideological camps of red and blue and everyone is out for blood. The candidate with the best chance of beating Obama has an incredible case of foot-in-mouth disease and every one is picking nits (including me apparently) to debunk and fact-check every statement under the sun. I just hate to see legitimate criticisms dismissed because they are presented with unsubstantiated arguments. This image has been floating around and simply adds fuel to the fire because it does exactly that.
OK, that said I believe I have soaked up waaaay to much of the comment section with non-humor. Please let me know how much bacon to send as penance.

A hearty rasher of bacon and a pint (or four) of Guinness besides to Harvey for #19.
partisan hack….malicious mockery… classic.
Poor Gary…such a gentle welcome to Chuck Bednarik-era, NFL-grade blogging. Do hope he wore his one-bar helmet and horsehair-padded cup.
Bunkerhillbilly, I believe this was my first comment on this site aside from a singularly un-noteworthy entry to a straight line of the day. I’m not a quivering mass lying on the floor yet, but that could be partially due to the fact I have yet to attempt getting out of my chair.
Bunkerhillbilly, I believe this was my first comment on this site
Er…Gary…perhaps you are a product of public schooling wherein you were exposed to new math….I count six posts up to this point in this thread.
Or, continuing the Bednarik theme, you’re doing a Frank Gifford redux?
I’m not a quivering mass lying on the floor yet, but that could be partially due to the fact I have yet to attempt getting out of my chair.
Inertia? Paraplegia? Constipation?
What? Do I look like Benny Hinn?
Gary – All right, I’ll concede that using inaccurate numbers opens an easy line of attack for liberals that they shouldn’t be allowed to have, and that people who wish to be taken seriously shouldn’t make that error. That’s a fair point.
Having said that, I’ll also say that I, personally, have no wish to be taken seriously in 95% of the posts I make at IMAO, including this one 🙂
Bah, meant my first comment as in the first time I have partaken in a posts comment section. You seem to be hell bent on holding me to my call for accuracy. Well, bacon to you good sir.
Though, I was educated in Alabama so make of that what you will. It is in the Bible belt so perhaps my counting was a reflection that prior posts were not an evolution of thought but rather placed there by design. I dunno.
And no, none of the maladies you mention are the reason. It is merely a case of deskjobanosis. I’ve heard Obama is working on a cure.
Harvey,
🙂
Though, you still haven’t told me how much bacon to send. I’m assuming the price of a concession to a point is at least a slab of thick cut hickory smoke, but I’m not sure on the exchange rates as all I have currently on hand is that lean crap my wife buys after a particularly bad experience at the gym.
Gary, I’ll take the bacon…set it over there next to the rest of it on the silver tray next to my pint glass.
Also, concerning any cures offered by Obama… he’s a faith-healing charlatan too.
