“Every mother works hard, and every woman deserves to be respected.”
Adding........another perfectly legitimate perspective from Kathy Kattenburg:
Let's get one thing straight. Ann Romney knows ZERO about the economic struggles of American women. Raising five boys is hard work, no kidding. Raising ONE child, boy OR girl, is hard work. But if Ann Romney had raised 14 children, all of them hell-raisers and trouble-makers, she would know ZERO about the economic struggles of American women. Nor would she know what kind of hard work it is to raise even one child, much less five, when you're a single mom working in a bar at nights to feed your kids. Or if your husband has been unemployed for a year or more and there's no work to be found. Or if you and your husband are both trying to make ends meet and still can't do it when you're both working two or three or more jobs. Hey, Ann Romney: Try raising five children on $40,000 a year. Now try raising five children when one of them has a serious chronic medical condition, like Rick and Karen Santorum's daughter, but without any of Rick and Karen Santorum's resources. Or your husband's. Or yours. Try raising two or three or four or five children with no health insurance.

“I cannot wait to go get my fried butter on a stick, and fried cheesecake on a stick and...Twinkies, especially in honor of those who would rather just be forced to eat our peas. ”
Um, gah……my stomach is churning.
Adding.......yes, I know that Palin's remark was aimed at the First Lady. Palin is a weakass moron to resort to such utterly pathetic insults.

cousin avi responds, and obliterates the dumbstupid Limbaugh in an awesome manner, as well as describing Michelle Obama to a T. Enjoy:
What strikes me, though, is the rather obvious core motive for it. Michelle Obama is a beautiful, strong mother of two, exudes class, makes dress designers look talented, and holds a JD from Harvard Law School. She's not only obviously healthy, profoundly charming, and stone cold competent, she's the First Lady of the United States.
Rush, Viagra/Oxycontin/Dominican Sex Tours notwithstanding, is a fat dropout currently married to the fourth woman who could hold down her gag reflex long enough to sign a pre-nup to get close to all that money.
The bitterness...it stings. And no amount of money or Haitian child prostitutes can make the pain stop.
Adding…. another commenter on Cesca’s site pointed out that FLOTUS wasn’t exactly eating a bunch of high cal ribs like most of us do when we eat ribs, she was having a much lower calorie, healthier, and more elegant treat at Kelly Liken:
- pickled pumpkin salad with arugula
- braised ancho-chile short rib with hominy wild mushrooms
- sautéed kale
Bite us, Limbaugh.

The perceived dig is quite a turnaround from the position Palin had as governor of Alaska, when she declared October 2007 "Breastfeeding Awareness Month" and issued a proclamation that said, "government and community organizations have a vested interest in protecting and promoting breastfeeding as a means of preventing infant malnutrition, morbidity, and mortality."
Too bad that a consequence of McCain’s folly has been to force the rest of us to endure the shrewish harridans sillyass harangues on a regular basis. gah.

Palin quote, via Geoffrey Dunn:
Gagging....
Mr. Dunn goes on to point out Palin's insensitivity to the Tillman family, and her use of hyperbole, as well as the lack of substance in her speech. Nothing new there, but 2012 is still ahead. Dunn:
Not only was it a nasty elbow at the First Lady, but Palin's remarks were thoroughly insensitive to the memory of Tillman and to his parents, who have been strongly critical of the U.S. military in the aftermath of his death.
The remainder of Palin's 40-minute speech before an adoring, albeit less-than capacity audience at the San Jose Center for Performing Arts, was equally long on hyperbole and short on substance. Palin spent far more time talking about Dancing with the Stars than she did about foreign policy. Her digs were mostly directed at Democratic Party leaders (Palin continues to call it the "Democrat Party"), the "lamestream media" and President Obama--with whom she has been singularly obsessed since her failed vice-presidential bid in 2008 and who she blames for political attacks against her in Alaska.
Frankly, at this point, I am just praying to the Sky Fairy that Palin runs in 2012. It will be purely blissful to kick her whining ass to the curb for once and for all.

I wish it weren’t true, but The Huffington Post, a liberal refuge, has jumped the freaking shark again, and not only did they hire Ingraham, their moderators are deleting many of the negative comments on the post. I couldn’t manage to get anything substantial posted at all.
The title of Nasty Laura Ingraham’s first essay on Huffpost is “Diary of First Lady Michelle Obama: July 12, 2010”. It goes downhill from there. And, oh, by the way, it’s posted in the comedy section. I had no idea that Ingraham was a comedian, nor did I find it to be the slightest bit funny. Tell me what you think.
Gulf Coast!?! To think I had to waste an afternoon (cut my workout short and everything) to make those Tea Baggers along the Gulf Coast think we give a damn. It's one thing to go down to Diddy's or Kanye's house on Star Island in Miami, but Panama City is a disaster. This place is known for one thing: endless strip malls. Do I look like I shop at Payless Shoes? This is supposed to be our vacation time and I'm blowing half my day in a hell hole like Panama City!!
But what could I do? Axe, Rahm and the rest of the gang told me if we wanted to vacation in Maine this week, one of us had to go placate the oiled up yahoos down South. I'm still mad that Barack had to interrupt our Memorial Day weekend in Chicago to sympathetically stroke some greasy pelicans! But I suppose I must do my part. But I needed this trip like Hillary needs an extra fifteen pounds of thigh fat. [......]
I’d like to smear that racist witch with some animal fat and throw her in to a shark-infested area of the Gulf. Grrrr…….
