Slog - Comments on "I Like to Be Pretty" http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/06/i_like_to_be_pretty Via Wonkette, we have a clip of Michelle Obama on The View. This is the longest sustained viewing of The View that I've ever endured. Holy. Fucking. Shit. When did Talking About Pantyhose With Barbara Walters become one of the biggest shows on morning t.v.? I used to feel bad for politicians for having to endure the gauntlet of stupid television news shows. Now I feel worse for their wives for having to put up with this shit....

"i have to say, i'm really glad to see you, because... ...anytime you see black folks on the news, particularly women, they have no teeth, and the teeth that they have have gold around them and they can't put a sentence together, and perhaps now we can-- this is-- you're helping to change a perception."

WT freakin F?

Props to Michelle for keeping a straight face through the "panty hose" discussion. I couldn't say "panty" on national television without busting up.

It works.

We're not the target audience.

Swing voters are.

Will, one of the reasons you fail as a propagandist for the Democrats is the utter contempt you have for everyone's intelligence.

Luckily this is part 2 of 3 of the Michelle Obama segment, and they spent a lot of time talking about the kids, her parents, the VP spot blah blah blah. I'm with Will. This is how you get the soccer moms.

And we're definitely not the target audience.

Unlike you, I never thought I was a propagandist for the Dems.

Why do you hate America so, elenchos?
