LOL ~ I also read someone bitching that Michelle should have found or commissioned a gown by a Chinese designer ~ seems like a lot of hard work to find negatives in everything ~ Sooz

THE RIGHT HAS FASHION POLICE, TOO?.... This week, some conservative outlets ran pieces connecting Michelle Obama's anti-obesity efforts to pedestrian traffic deaths. As it turns out, it wasn't the only ridiculous push the right was making with regards to the First Lady.

It's crazy, but it's true. Drudge said Michelle Obama's dress was "China Red." A writer at Malkin's site told reader she "appropriately enough wore a red dress." Jim Hoft -- the one who saw secret White House messages in the Tucson memorial service's Jumbotron -- blasted the "Commie Red China" dress and the "fit of the gown."

Seriously, is there something in the water driving these folks to madness?

Please, conservatives, grow up. Let there be a part of you that says, "If I'm writing about the color of the First Lady's clothing, maybe my hatred of the White House has reached an irrational level."

I thought it was pretty.

Memo to the Water Carriers....

Campaign strategy 101.  Make sure to imply that everything D is bad; down to the most trivial thing like wardrobing and hairstyle.  Tie in the words Marxist, communist, socialist in every column you write.  Soon we will throw in words like elitist and reinforce the "uppity" theme. 

OP

That would be nice but I believe many of the righties have reached the pathological level of hatred for the black man and his wife.  We can only hope those people have not reproduced.( the haters- not the President and his wife)

"We can only hope those people have not reproduced."

They're datin' their cuzzins so we'll know if they've reproduced. There'll be a rash of flapper babies born.

Oddly enough, those comments most likely come from RED states.
