Michelle Obama's Clothing Has Sean Hannity All Out Of Sorts

Seriously, y'all? What is Michelle Obama thinking, going on this important overseas visit to meet the Queen of England and other world leaders dressed as if she wanted to make some sort of good impression? Surely she should have swaddled herself in Council Flat gladrags or the sort of tunics preferred by the ancient Picts kept at bay behind Hadrian's Wall or something? That's Sean Hannity's argument, anyway! He's just all burnt up with THE POPULIST RAGE that Michelle Obama could dare dress her best "in the midst of an economic slowdown."

What did "hope" mean to Michelle Obama? Hannity says it was the "hope" that "get all these great designer clothes and that everyone will report on it and call me, you know, Jackie Kennedy." And, hey, maybe that's true! It's still preferable to "getting all these great designer clothes" and having "everyone report on it" that all $180,000 worth ended up stuffed in trashbags at the RNC.

Well Sean, there you go again! Have you been snooping around HP and Twitter to get ideas for your show? Since so many people are talking about Michelle's outfits and style all over the net; I guess you thought you'd spout off about it. YAWN! No matter what you say about MO's clothes, it just won't cover up the fact that the RNC tried to buy Sarah Palin some class with high dollar clothing. Some things can't be bought and the new first lady is doing A-OK by wearing American and shopping at (Gasp!) J Crew!

Sean Hannity represents the feelings of many Americans (check out his ratings) - you just don't hear about it in the liberal media who would give birth to Obama babies if possible! It was OK to attack Sarah Palin, her family, dog, parakeet, and her dead great great great grandmother - but it's not OK to be critical of Michelle Obama's fashion nonsense. Most middle Americans don't give a damn what she wears because we're too concerned about our grandparents who just lost their life savings ...not to speak of our own life savings for our children.
We are the same "Sean Hannidy" crowd that doesn't like the cozy repartee the Obamas are cultivating with the gang that wants to blow us up! Has this become the United States of Looney Tunes or what?
Elegance isn't about what you wear but rather about who you are. How can you trust a woman who says "This is the first time I've ever been proud to be an American." That was not a "fashionable" thing to say.
She wouldn't curtsy to the aged Queen of England but her husband, the American President, couldn't bow or grovel low enough to the Saudi King...whose relationship with terrorists is questionable to say the least. Such unseemly behavior does not bode well with the many listeners and admirers of Sean Hannity - of which I am one.
I've always been proud to be an American but I no longer recognize my country.

Attila, Honey,

One serving of tripe will do.

And about those Saudi royals: Aren't they also known as "Bush Buddies"?

I don't care about fashion either, including all the fashionable Repugnican nonsense dittoheads parrot. At least the foolish among the Democraps have real senses of humor.

so what you're saying is that you're not proud now because your candidate Sarah Palin lost. Such a hypocrite you are. Boo bucking hoo.

I can only assume, from Hannity's catty and mean spirited comments, that he is a cross
dresser, who was offended by Michele's sense of style.

Now that the GOP has lost the last two elections and shows no promise of winning being a competitive "major party" nationally, Hannity, Limbaugh, Ingraham, Beck, O'Reilly, Dobbs, Palin, Steele and Coleman have just one assignment, to distract us from bringing the usurpers Bush, Cheney, and their cronies to justice. Vote for the truth.

Dude (Hannity)... How can you possibly know what Michelle Obama is thinking?

[pxgabriel]

10:06 PM on 04/05/2009

I thought she wore J crew, what is designer about that. But remember his audience only listens to him and other conservative talk, so they don't know any better.

So Sean is now worried about FL Obama's wardrobe? He has too much time on his hands, maybe he should "start" watching porn. What a SHMUK!

After the Queen shook Michelle's hand she asked Michelle if she wanted to put those hands to good use on her foot bunions.

Sean has not been the same since Rush outbid him for those Naughty Monkey pumps.

Sean clearly has nothing important to talk about; maybe he's waiting for his talking points from Mark Levin and Rush.

He still cannot accept the fact that his First Lady is a Black educated woman who can run circles around him. Unlike his listener who believe his trash.

and where was this same outrage when Palin spent all that money on her over the top wardrobe for herself and her family? THAT, according to Hannity, was a necessary business expense. But the president's wife? why should she have nice clothes to meet dignitaries and heads of state?

[bbrecht]

09:06 PM on 04/05/2009

Ummm.... Because she's the President's wife????!!!!

The man is a piece of work we can all agree. It will crush him even more if he finds that she paid for her own clothing out her own pocket.
