MOTUS v. Dr. Laura Ingraham: The Battle is On

Ok, I was only half serious before about Dr. Laura Ingra-ham cheesing in on my federal jurisdiction to make up stories about the O’s under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, but this… well, this was just the last straw:

She has apparently paid both Big Guy and Lady M off to hawk her dumb book! I can’t blame them, they’re just underpaid public servants sacrificing for their country and trying to scrape enough money together to fill the Wee Wons’ college fund. But that Dr. Laura! Why, she’s shameless.

And she’s not even satisfied with the book – now she’s blogging daily about the O’s! (or at least until she’s done with the book tour)

I’m still waiting to hear back from Ricky about the status of my Supremacy Clause violation case.

I’m a little concerned because of the directive Ricky issued at the DOJ instructing attorneys in the civil rights division to ignore cases that involve black defendants and white victims.

I’m beginning to think there might be some confusion concerning my racial DNA: since I’m a mirror, I reflect whatever ethnicity is standing in front of me. If they still have my Bush administration reflection on file, they probably have me classified as “Caucasian” which of course is not technically correct anymore.

Anyway, I think - given Justice’s directive and this whole racial confusion business - I better seek additional legal assistance from the private sector. I’m assuming Professor William A. Jacobson is on vacation, since I haven’t heard back from him yet. I think I’ll get a hold of Fox News because they seem to have a lot of lawyers over there and most of them are hot. Of course my first choice would be Megyn Kelley. I’m sure we all enjoyed her smack-down of Kirsten Powers the other day:

 

That’s more or less the sort of representation I’m  interested in. But I would also be pleased to be represented by Greta Van Susteren or even Lis Wiehl, although I’d like her to take a few b**ch-slapping lessons from Megyn before I sign her up. I had Judge Andrew Napolitano in my tweet-queue, but now that he’s calling for the indictment of GWB and the real Dick Cheney, I think I’m going to have to wave him off until he comes to his senses.

So, there you have it. I still believe that I have federal jurisdiction and have a sound case under the Supremacy Clause for getting Dr. Laura Ingra-ham’s book pulled from the shelves and all royalties recalled. (That Motion of Preliminary Injunction sure would come in handy.)

Unfortunately Toes has not authorized my emergency request for the complete legal course work and Bar Exam Review, so I’m relying on Legalzoom.com until such time as I hear back from one of my legal beagles.

If any of you out there are Constitution lawyers, give me a tweet.

  1. The mole described in the book is wearing 'tennis shoes'....that wouldn't be a reference to G Beck who is known to wear that kind of footwear on his TV show, or could it?
    As for the constitution, my Gramma used to tell us that herbal tea is good for the constitution, but that's not what you're asking for, I guess.

    I went and read some of her stuff. It's not funny.

    It takes skill to write this kind of pastiche/satire/whatever. Laura does not have the ability to do it.

    MOTUS does have the ability to produce such prose.

    Let this be a warning to people who try to write political satire. Not many can do it well, and when you fail in your attempt, you look pathetic.

  3. I haven't read the book but that won't stop me from agreeing with you. The few times I've heard Laura I wasn't impressed. MOTUS has a gift. A real gift not like the Won's gift. We are very lucky to have her/him/it.

  4. To me, the book is a compilation of 'back stairs gossip' coming out of the WH disguised as a satire/fictional account of the O's and their behaviour.   The 'small' people can only take so much abuse and then turn on the 'big, important' people.
    One of MO's assistants, a secretary in the West Wing, a Secret Service agent, a cook or chef or anyone who has been close enough to the O's to get disgusted.
    We all know how thinskinned BO is about negative comments, whew! now MO is getting the same kind of treatment and all of the spin and deceit is being published.

  5. MOTUS, I'm outraged, Laura's daily blogging about the O's definitely takes the cake!
    Speaking of Megyn's feistiness, Laura is no shrinking violet either.  Did you see her on Bill O?  She took off on MO's garden of all things.  Not that we have any doubt that you can take her on!
    But legally (considering the challenge your racial ambiguity places on the DOJ) your best bet would be to have the O's take her on.  I hate to break it to you, but I  think Laura may have tricked us all into believing those pictures of MO and BO posing with her book are real.  Remember how the O's had the 'Weatherproof' jacket billboard ad taken down?  In that case BO was at least wearing their jacket; they just didn't have the right to use it in their ads.  So, getting her book off the shelves would be no problem for the O's (with all the practice they've had muzzling the media).  Then they can move forward in suing her for slander, libel and whatever else they can tack on. 
    All wrongs will then be righted in your Supremacy Clause Violation case.  And your place as the most original, creative and snarkiest mirror will assured for all eternity.  My only fear is once they are done with Laura I, the O's might come after you.

  6. MOTUS-
    To get your mind off this whole matter, a couple of questions.  Did the O's already leave for Maine ?( and MO's dessert island) and how are the preparations for the White House Broadway production coming along?  Oh, and did you get to go along, or do you get some peace and quiet at the Big White without them?

    arabella -- that disproves my theory that our dear MOTUS might've had anything to do with it. Of course, that still leaves open the theory about Desiree. She was quoted recently as saying, "I don't have anything to do with them anymore." Hmmmm

    <span>I'm sure Laura (and maybe MOTUS too) would be thrilled to have a public fracas and snarkfest with Baby and Mama Doc.  It might even make them into gazillionaires.  Those books would fly off the shelves and be into the 4th printing before you could say First Fat Ass and FLINO.</span>

    Stay tuned.

  10. They've arrived in Maine. BO will adopt a Down East accent while there. eh yup. You see  some of his relatives are Mainiacs.

  11. Thanks Granny J.  I knew quite a few Mainiacs when I used to live in CT.  They are very down to earth and laid back and have a self deprecating sense of humor.

  12. Can't you just see little Mo with his little tennis shoes.  Kind of like this guy, except much cuter:

  13. Is that a snake coiled around MO's upper back? Or what?

  14. Newsbird has some close-ups of it in her blog.  It is supposed to be some sort of 'embellishment' on her top!

  15. MOTUS-
    Don't we all know about all their (especially MO's) 'sacrifices'!  As for the Wee Wons future college expenses, I wouldn't worry about it.  What affirmative action and name recognition don't cover, their hefty trust funds certainly will!

    Did I read correctly? They're staying at a Holiday Inn?

    What a Farce! The Obamas: they're just like us!!!! NOT!!!

    You just know Barry is setting up that in-room coffeemaker all by himself!

  17. Watch this video of the O's...and note MO at 00"11..it looks as if those tight pants are unfastened and half-way unzipped.  Yikes!
