I’m filing this as I wing my way back for the last few days of my official chip upgrade/vacation at the Sundance festival. I could see that I was needed in DC tonight for the the first post-partisan SOTU big read, and my work ethic chip required me to return to help out. But I still have tickets for more cutting edge movies made by a lot of Big Guy’s friends and supporters, so I’m flying back for the weekend. Don’t worry, I’m not going first class, that’s just for real important government employees, like EPA clerks. Sure, I’ll be tired, but sometimes serving your country requires sacrifice.
But let’s focus on the Washington circus. First, the big read: BO took the stage to explain why people are angry. I don’t know, if it were up to me I might have skipped that part because I’m pretty sure most people already know what they’re mad about. Either they don’t have jobs or are afraid of losing them; and/or they think they’re going to lose their current health care insurance in exchange for much higher taxes and much worse health care. And then a few of you out there, and you know who you are, are mad about our sloppy and stupid handling of terrorists who are trying to kill us in the name of their religion of peace. And you’re mad that we’re treating them like some punks who knocked off a party store.
Then BO went on to explain why none of the things people are mad about are his fault. It was either the Republicans fault, the Supreme Court’s fault, Wall Street’s fault or George W. Bush’s fault. He did take his share of the responsibility for not explaining more clearly to all you morons why his health care plan is best for you. That’s kind of like saying “ I don’t think you hear what I’m saying” when in fact you hear what he’s saying just fine, but don’t happen to agree with it. So if any of you morons out there have a better idea, let him know. Otherwise, just shut up, sit down and get out of the way.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg hangs her head in shame at Big Guy’s criticism of their decision on campaign financing.
Man! Being leader of the free world turns out to be really hard, especially if some of your sheep refuse to follow the shepherd. And it’s even harder to appear like you’re accepting responsibility for the mess, without taking the blame, unless you have a whole lot of other people to blame things on. I’m not sure about this, but I think if I were Timmy I’d start working on that resume.
Timmy as he realizes he’s in really big trouble
Now for our fashion review: BO wore his Candy Land tie: a symbolic act to indicate his solidarity with you in your pursuit of locating our missing Candy Land King.
The Candy Man
Lady M was in the chambers, seated next to a couple of officers of the law who Big Guy didn’t think act stupidly. They were among the first responders to the Fort Hood massacre, and as you can see, they are thrilled to be there.
Real people, not wax figures. Really.
For the occasion, MO chose a deep plum three quarter sleeved spandex unitard, wrapped with a coordinating deep plum taffeta bed skirt falling in loose box pleats. It’s an Isaac Mizrahi, doing his best to reintroduce classics.
Big Guy also did a couple of shout-outs to MO: one for her campaign to ban french fries and Little Debbies from school lunches, and again for her generous efforts in support of military families. I think she plans to send them all those banned french fries and Little Debbies.
Step away from the cupcakes. And just sit down.
Summary of the big read in a half dozen words or less: insincere, preachy, condescending, immature, petulant and smirky.
Geeze, if I’d wanted that I would have just stayed at the Sundance Film Festival.

Dear MOMOTUS (Michelle Obama's Mirror Of The United States):
I love you.
Sincerely,
Jana
The skirt is up around her rib cage without the boob belt no one else wears...is it kaput? I just don't understand it. And even though the wig bangs are pulled forward, I'm still seeing the shaved head in front.
He disses the Supremes and compliments fat ass for her war on obesity? Not too clever. I'm thinkin' they just might like to hear from those birthers after all.
The whole speech was recycled and plagerized from Hill and Bill (he feels our pain)...he even stole from McCain (spending freeze). Nothing embarrasses these poseurs.
Another great Toastmasters speech! Way to go POTUS!
Gotta love the Candy Land tie...sort of symbolic of the level of maturity.
MOTUS,
Gawd, I wish MOO would stop with the jaw dropping routine. I'm so tired of seeing her large, pink, well toned tongue.
I see the dissing of the supremes is not going over well, even with libtard commentators.
MEchelle Belle the First Lady Clown entertains with her costumes. The only accessory missing is the large red honking nose! Can she not see that other people dress differently?
I saw the back of the dress on another site; it's one piece and the waistline zipper is pulling apart. I find it hard to believe that any designer would allow his clients to wear his creations that were so ill-fitting.
My guess: this dress was off-the-rack and made for a shorter, smaller sized person. The dress is badly sewn, with puckers in the pleats at the waistline. The rear view makes her behind look enormous.
Designer? Knockoff?
Oh boy: yes, the backward view was NOT flattering. The color looks nice on her, but my gosh: wear something that fits, woman! Fat rolls in the back are never a good look.
FROM
firstthingsfirst.com:
"...And Michelle Obama is a study.
Tonight she just looked irritated to be mentioned.
The press has been trying to put her across
as some Jackie Kennedy type, but she’s really coming across more as Joan Crawford.
It’s all most disturbing.
The dress was a Mizrahi. Obviously a second, a sample or an overstock because I understand that's what that Chicago boutique MO buys from specializes in.
Re the rear view..Who knew bustles were back in style?
Wow, Big MO has packed on the poundage in the caboose, has she not?
Before going after fat kids, Mo needs to shrink her own big fat body. Are there no mirrors in the WH?
The First Hypocrite in plum.
Jackie No!
Well said, MOTUS, very perceptive interpretation of BG's address. While his speeches are not normally the focus of your blog, it's not surprising, you being the fine, highly technologically advanced reflective instrument that you are, that your call would be so spot on. So it's all good.
Can someone please direct me to that pic of MO from the back? Now I'm dying to see it.
Portia..

Cinderella -- thank you! Oh, the horror! From the back that dress makes her already large derriere look HUGE. The dress looks like it's made for someone at least two sizes smaller. A size 20 petite?
Breeze, I think that's a keenly biting and revealing commentary of BO. It's really mysterious the way he takes that travelling talk kit with him even to meetings. There's alot they're keeping from the public.
When I was a kid, there was a popular song: "It was a One-eyed, One-horned, Flying Purple People Eater".
Now I know what one looks like!
This person is verrry insecure re: her 'shape'; hence, the raised waistlines that attempt to cover her protruding midriff.
It's been a while since I needed a cocktail dress so could you younger ladies help me?
Do women really wear taffeta dresses today?
I've always associated taffeta with little girl's Holiday dresses and the unfortunate bridesmaid gowns. It's such a cheap and unforgiving fabric.
Good God! What a disaster! The #1 rule for pear shapes...NO PLEATS. She's trying to cover up the ginormous ass with box pleats! LOL! And to top it off she chooses a fabric that makes her look like she's wearing a box pleated tent...complete with puckers! Whenever WILL she get it? A-Line dresses with no belt, you cow (apologies to the bovines).
Her rehearsed tilted head and little girl hand gesture..."Oh, you silly! Me?" She followed by motioning her subjects in Congress to sit down. Manipulative and crass, Queenie. Then, in his best boyish attempt to be cutesy, Candy Cane Man says: "She gets embarrassed." No, Mr. Speech Recycler, WE are the ones embarrassed by the least socially astute couple in the history of the WH. Amateurs! Amateurs! Out of their element, over their heads, and clueless beyond belief.
Don't you love it when he thinks he's "made a funny" and turns himself inside out with his ear to ear smile? Sooooo proud of himself. So precious, practiced and manufactured. He duplicates this on a regular basis...inauthentic and always inappropriate. It's no laughing matter, you boob.
I look forward to seeing this moronic duo in costumes befitting their maturity: Little Boy Lost in a first grader's short pants, knee socks, cardigan and propeller beanie. Fat Ass in an organdy, lavender, full skirted dress (with crinolines)Peter Pan collar and very, very shiny Mary Janes. Lots of lace trim. Don't forget the Hula Hoop and oversize hair bow.
Yes, they continue to inspire. Nouveau riche trailer trash that they are. All I want to know is when does Big MO get a Black Lib tattoo on those Stevedore arms?
Me-shelle just needs some frilly ankle socks and shiny mary janes to complete the ensemble. I swear American Girl has a companion doll and mini-me dress. The purple eggplant suits her royal airs.
I'm thinking more about that tattoo...maybe a Black Liberation clenched fist with "WH 2009" in script under it. Arms or ass? I think arms. The ass tattoo needs something that won't get lost on that vast expanse. Perhaps we should have a contest.
Madame..
Oooo That's a tasty contest challenge. Anyone here have photoshop skills (except our darling MOTUS)they could put to use on this? I'm thinking this could be great fun.
Madame D: You are on Fire!
People..Go on over to Newsbird's site and check out the latest outfit. Bwahahaha.
Why thank you, Moright. You're not so bad yourself. Yes, lace trimmed socks complete the image.
srdem65 -- I don't know if taffeta is a good choice for anyone not in a wedding party. There are many lovely and more forgiving fabrics.
It wasnt quite Barney the Dinosaur purple, but it did make me think of big purple dinosaurs.
Madame DeFarge, I'm pear-shaped and short, so I understand the frustration of finding that the most sophisticated styles (sheath dresses, pencil skirts, narrow pants) don't work. The styles that suit a pear shape unfortunately often look overly youthful.
I disagree with you a little on "never wear pleats," because flat knife pleats actually work well on me. They add a bunch of vertical lines and disguise the bad parts without flaring out in a girly way.
........the dark side of the moon.
Ah, but Anon, you probably don't have as gigantic a back porch as Big MOBO. Luckily I have a proportioned 5'6" frame (although I need to lose the famous 10lbs) and I do find knife pleats can be fairly forgiving...depends too on what you wear on top. Needs to be balanced rather than Big MOBO's tight cardigans or painted on unitard.
I'd be surprised if any figure couldn't benefit from an empire waist, A-Line though, just below the knee. Certainly Big MOBO should cover hers. No one could tell that Audrey Hepburn, though thin, was a little pear shaped because she and Hubert Givenchy were expert in camouflage. Jackie also benefited from the empire A-Line. Big MOBO should be so lucky.
I saw the rear view of MO - was there someone else in the dress with her? Did they live to tell about it? No way was that just one body under that skirt.
Usually Mz. Mo comes off looking like lawn furniture. In that get up she looked like a futon from Dennis Rodman's beach house.
chiron, Dennis Rodman. Now there's as tacky a piece of trash as we've ever seen. Wonder if he would refer Big MoBo to his tat salon? Birds of a feather and all...
Women's Wear Daily reports that the Isaac Mizrahi dress cost $1850. "It was not known whether she paid retail or wholesale." It's described as "raisin colored with a knit top and silk ottoman skirt" and purchased through Ikram Goldman...guess that's her Chicago pal.
Does it matter? Unless he paid her to wear it, it was a gigantic ripoff.
Ottoman? It looks like the whole sofa.
Has to be wholesale sample, second or overstock.. I'm sure they all are, which would explain the poor fit of almost everything she wears. I wonder if that Goldman woman picks up Talbot's seconds and overstocks also. I can't imagine Mizrahi letting a high prifile client wear an ill fitting design. Would not be good for his reputation
Maybe he's a Republican? :)
Thanks to all for your (as usual) snarky comments. Breeze, especially enjoyed the "first things first" link. That Jon Stewart, he's a bad, bad boy.
