Lincoln Bedroom: “Buy It Now” Priced On Ebay

Well, it looks like the Lincoln bedroom is going back into the nightly pool.

lincoln-bedroomI know Lady M said we weren’t going to rent it out any more, but we’re all grownups here, and harsh economic times (thanks, George W. Bush) call for harsh measures.

So: Desiree is out and Julianna is in. We all adored Desiree, but here’s the deal - the Republicans aren’t going to let us mop the floor with them next time around. We have a tough election coming up and we need someone planning our parties who knows more than how to hype a designer. We need someone who can run the “people’s house” like a 24/7 cash register, like –can I say this? –like the Clinton’s did. We need the right kind of people coming through the turnstyle. Let’s face it, Big Guy has ticked off just about everyone with real money except George Soros, and he’s already told  us he’s moving on to buy the European elections and he can’t afford another round here. So we have to re-capitalize ourselves and that’s where Julianna comes in. With her fundraising background she’ll know how to effectively Ebay the Lincoln bedroom. And Desiree, well, with all due respect, she couldn’t even balance her checkbook.

But Julia: she’s all about the money –  who to get it from and how to get the maximum from them. So, no flashy social butterfly secretary from now on. And there is an added bonus: not only will Julia raise a ton of money for us to buy  spend on the next election by inviting only the right (filthy rich liberals) kind of people to the Big White parties, but she will definitely not step on Lady M’s sartorial tails in the process. She went to Smith for goodness sake. They still think pearls and a little black dress is appropriate for just about anything.

I mean, look at her, she looks like she could work in the Office of the Inspector General.

I know it’s surprising that she’s neither an African American nor a Chicago crony. But when the going gets tough, the tough get going.

You go girl! Or what ever you white girls say.

  1. Whoa! This changes everything; no more A.A. children's glee clubs, now it's the 'Country Club' set. No more parties and dinners with the Chicago set, it's time for the 'moneyed set'. Parties with people who were born knowing how to act, dress appropriately, have never spun a Hula Hoop or dropped their jaw open so far you can see their molars.
    MOTUS, it's Red Alert time!

    Am I being too 'picky' in thinking this is a
    bit 'strange':

    "...On behalf of the American people,

    Michelle and I

    send our deepest condolences to the Chilean people. The United States stands ready to assist in the rescue and recovery efforts, and we have resources that are positioned to deploy should the Chilean government ask for our help..."

    That comment seemed strange when I heard it, too, but I couldn't really say what was off about it. They never say anything without a hidden meaning, so I question all of their strange wordings.
    BTW, on a blog called lamecherry.blogspot.com, it was reported that the Washington Post filed to get the tax returns of Valerie Jarrett. It turns out that for some reason she was not required to put her holdings in a blind trust as everyone else does, so maybe Desiree was thrown out to take the spotlight off of Valerie. With this WH anything is possible.

  4. My guess as to the move to Smoot is that Soros realizes that Obama has out lived his usefulness. In spite of a fawning press, Obama continues to slide. Therefore, I think Soros wants to pit a winner against Palin-should she decide to run. I expect Hillary to be the dem candidate in 2012.

  5. Photo of J. Smoot. Interesting context here as poster child for "bundler":

  6. Chubby white girl replaces skinny black girl. What could it mean? LOL

    MOTUS,
    We need to have a contest to give the new social secretary a "handle" for your "Who Are You Talking About" list.

  7. The comment to Chile from BO gave you pause because, once again, it was about BO and MO.
    They insinuate themselves into every situation.
    Properly, he should have just said "The American people..yadda, yadda.

  8. That's an Obama poster behind her. And we've seen those eyes before. On Leni Riefenstahl.

  9. Two gals in Big White wearing pearls?
    I bet the white one wouldn't last long. Either she would give up her pearls, or she will be out. Soon.

  10. Ladies,
    Check out Newsbird's site. MO is wearing an ill-fitting red knit dress with brown thigh high boots. http://newsbird.wordpress.com/2010/02/28/red-dress-short-sleeves-tall-boots-at-the-white-house/#comment-3338 Bwahahahaha...

    OMG..Look..I see white kids. They're Brazilian, but still they're white.

  11. MOTUS,
    Re my suggestion for a
    "nic" naming contest, I've come up with the following:
    Smootie
    The Smootster
    Rooty Toot Smoot
    And finally in honor of the Chicago mob and her fabled fund raising skills:
    Julie the Bag(of cash)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Cinderella; my vote is "Smootie".

    ReplyDelete
  13. It might make Big (Racist) MO feel better about those big pearls if we refer to her as the Bag Lady. Could also serve as a constant reminder to B(R)MO as to just why Bag Lady has been given the position...it's for the cash, MOdummie. Fortunately, I doubt there's any amount of $$$ that could save their sorry asses at this point...and that's a good thing.

  14. Does anyone actually believe that Desiree is going to hang around for a month, during the transition?
    What could she "teach" Smootie? Where to buy the world's ugliest dress?

  15. HT Cinderella.

    Motus, please put up that shot of First Fatty's
    thigh.

    D.I.S.G.R.A.C.E.F.U.L.

    Bad enough for any middleaged woman, let alone
    the US POTUS!!!

    I'm no prude and I always believed (when I was
    young), if you got it, FLAUNT IT! But SHE does
    NOT 'got it' and it's revolting!

    "Just when you think it can’t get worse, it does..Don’t mean to be cranky, but again, somebody send this woman a SLIP for god’s sake!
    She looks like a mddle aged dominatrix in those boots..Reminds me of my grandmother’s observation of gauche women “mutton dressed as lamb, is still mutton”

    ReplyDelete
  16. Oh, this red dress!
    I AM floored. Completely.
    So many cultural references all in one dress. Dominatrix; Sharon Stone; culture of the 1960-es with super mini dresses and high boots; Project Runway (I am a fan) with Micheal Kors going like - You took all the worst, sluttiest cliches there are and put them all in one dress; the list goes on.

    About those boots - is there snow now inside Big White?

    Overall - stylist and desigher, step forward , please!

  17. If I were Ms. Smoot, I wouldn't unpack my bags.

    As for MO's latest faux pas, I'm afraid to even look. That sounds scary bad.

    Portia,
    in an nutshell: she's sitting with her legs
    crossed and one of her upper thighs is showing.
    I kept hoping that my eyesight was failing but,
    NO, it was not the chairseat I was seeing.

    Of course, she's not wearing any hose.

    Somebody tell me where this new fad came from.
    Why would anybody wear no stockings in the middle of winter. All these women don't seem
    to realize how nasty they look. Common sense
    should tell them that hose will hide a multi-
    tude of sins and I don't think anybody is
    perfect.

  19. srdem,
    I know. We're all quaking in our boots, and I'm busy doing a nation wide search for an etiquette expert that's willing to be on call 24/7. No luck so far.

    Breeze,
    Actually, the comment sounded familiar. Oh, yes: That's exactly what GWB said in '07 while the Louisianna pols were fighting over who was in charge down there.

    The entire Obama administration is one blind trust.

    Mrs. P
    I'll watch for Smoots at next year's Sundance fest.

    vereT
    I think you're right; there will be a battle of the pearls. But even the professional odds makers won't touch this one.

    Cinder,
    The brown suede Jimmy Choo ensem was from last January. We tried to restrict photos from the waist down, but that Newsbird is a real bird dog! I tried to put the best spin on it at the time:
    get your red guard on


    I like the contest idea, but then again, I'm pretty happy with "Smootie" if no one objects.

    Madame,
    but then...bag lady seems so right too. Sigh. So many options.

    Breeze,

    Against my better judgment, I'll do it. Remember, this was your idea.

  20. Let's all watch and see if Ms. Smoot
    stops wearing pearls!


    LOL
