Class vs Crass
Class vs. Crass: Michelle Obama and Jimmy Fallon Roughhouse and Play Tug of War Inside White House
Seriously.
This really happened. It’s not photoshopped or anything. Michelle Antoinette Obama really had a play date with TV star Jimmy Fallon, where the two of them treated the interior of the White House like a playground at recess, yanking on ropes, rolling around on the ground, and conducting themselves with absolutely no awareness of their surroundings.
This is the part where I normally take something off-putting, ridiculous, or terrible that Michelle Antoinette has done and compare it to the class other First Ladies have shown throughout our country’s history…but I can honestly say that every woman who’s served in this role before Michelle Antoinette has refrained from tugging on ropes and rolling around on the carpets like this inside the people’s house.
There’s a perfectly good (and immensely expensive) wooden jungle gym that the Obamas had installed at the White House (on your dime) for their daughters — which would have been the appropriate venue for this horseplay.
There’s also White House fitness facilities where shenanigans like this could occur.
If it’s something that regular people wouldn’t be screwing around with inside their homes, then Michelle Antoinette shouldn’t be doing it in the temporary, free public housing unit she’s occupying until next January.
In fairness to her, I think she looks absolutely fabulous in this picture — she’s wearing one of the really expensive wigs and it’s nicely combed, her outfit is appropriate for what she’s doing (even if the thing she’s doing is inappropriate in its venue), her clothes are the correct size and flatter her, and the colors she’s wearing complement her. If this tug of war had been done outdoors, it would have been a home-run, fun, photo op.

UPDATE: I’m reminded by readers it could have been much worse than tug of war — she could have been having another of her “dance parties”:
Michelle Obama Hosts Dance Party in Boston — I Swear This Is True and Is Not A Joke
Michelle Antoinette Obama is hosting a dance party in Boston to recruit youngsters to serve as ground troops for the Obama re-election campaign.
HillBuzz.org has obtained the exclusive footage above capturing, exactly, what this dance party will be like and what sort of music they will play.
“I’m ready for my close-up, Sir Mix-A-Lot”, is what anonymous sources in the East Wing claim Michelle Antoinette’s been giggling every time the dance party planning committee has met.
The dance party is being held on January 18th, 2012 at a Boston club called The Goodlife.
And a good life it is indeed for those who get to live so high and party so often on the taxpayers’ dime.
Michelle Obama’s Having a Dance Party — And YOU Are Invited!
When she’s not touring the country scolding Americans for giving their children all the fatty, sugary, fried foods that she herself loves to eat with her own family, high-profile hypocrite First Lady Michelle Antoinette Obama hosts a non-stop dance party that you are invited to. This is apparently what any given Thursday looks like in the East Wing.
Because so many in Washington love claiming to be “bipartisan”, it seems Meghan McCain has found room in her busy schedule (of making herself look foolish at every available opportunity) to dance with Michelle Antoinette at the Dance Party; I think that’s her in the clip above, with her shock of blonde hair bouncing around to the beats spun by Michelle Antoinette’s personal White House DJ. Whoever that blonde is, she sure behaves like the Meghan we’ve come to know since the 2008 election, anyway. Might as well be her.
Ellen Degeneres makes an appearance at Michelle Obama’s Dance Party too, because she’s just degeneres with her time like that. She’s not a very good dancer, though. Not as good as Meghan or Michelle Antoinette anyway.
How sad for our country that all of this is almost really happening…to a score by Sir Mix-A-Lot no less.
VIDEO: Michelle Antoinette Obama Dancing on iCarly
I’m not exactly sure what “iCarly” is, but I think it might be what former Senate candidate Fiorina is doing these days…or maybe it’s an ill-advised comeback vehicle for the woman who sang about Warren Beatty in the 70s walking into a party like he was walking onto a yacht…with one eye on the mirror…and clowns in his coffee, clowns in his coffee…oh, he was so vain (and he probably thought that song was about him).
Speaking of vain (and a clown without coffee), Michelle Antoinette Obama recently made a guest appearance on “iCarly”, where she had a dance party.
I have to say that I kind of love this…and wish Michelle Antoinette would devote all of her time to this endeavor. It certainly is much preferable to listening to her scold people for eating potato chips (in between bites she takes of brontosaurus-size ribs or pterodactyl-grade Buffalo wings). Her “Crusade Against Other People’s Obesity” is nowhere near as charming as seeing America’s current First Lady shake her ample derriere in ill-fitting stretch pants on a show called iCarly.
Ay Carumba! is more like it.
The jokes just kind of write themselves when our First Clown gets her groove on.
QUESTION: Do You Have a Link to White House Holiday Special that Supposedly Aired Last Night?
I need a link to a watchable archive of some White House holiday special that apparently aired, somewhere, last night.
I keep seeing references made to “an hour long show” that featured all of the extravagant Christmas decorations the Obamas’ splurged on this year — including flying in a staff of 100 “special helpers” from around the country to decorate the 37 trees the Obamas installed in the White House.
Does anyone have any idea what “one hour long show” this was, what network it aired on, and how I can get a link so that I can watch it (and screengrab from it) myself?
I’m working on something special that would make good use of any materials I’d find in this “one hour show”, I guarantee.
You can see the show referenced in this article here: but as is typical with the comments people leave on articles, the commenters talking about this “one hour show” don’t bother to identify it or give any indication of where someone can actually watch it.
Do you know what show people are talking about?
Michelle Obama to America: “Let them eat kale!”. Michelle Obama to the waitstaff: “Where’s my lobster? And gimme a side of chili fries with extra cheese!”
Megan Fox is a radio host — and a home-schooling mother of two in a suburb of Chicago — who has been paying great attention to the hectoring Michelle Antoinette Obama’s been giving parents in her “Let’s Move!” crusade against other people’s obesity while seemingly eating every fancy and expensive thing she can in her remaining time in the White House. Megan takes a look at some of our illustrious First Lady’s endless hippo-crasy for HillBuzz.org.
ACTION ITEM: Write Nancy Reagan a “We Appreciate You” message and tell her how much you miss her being our First Lady

Radio host and political writer Andrea Shea King came up with a great idea: to wish Nancy Reagan a “We Appreciate You!” and “Happy Birthday Ronald Reagan” message and tell her how much she is missed on the national scene, particularly in her role as First Lady.
Mrs. Reagan is going to be celebrating what would be President Ronald Reagan’s 100th birthday on February 6th.
Andrea Shea King has organized something special for Mrs. Reagan, to let her know how much Americans still love her.
Please participate in this effort and send Mrs. Reagan a kind message through Andrea at Radiopatriot@gmail.com
You have until 9pm EST to do this, so that Andrea can get all of these emails together into something special to give to Mrs. Reagan.
It’s a huge personal project Andrea is working on, and she wants to be FLOODED with responses.
While we’re thinking about Mrs. Reagan today (who will be 90 this year), please chime in with any favorite memories of her…and perhaps some ideas for future Class vs. Crass episodes contrasting her tenure as First Lady with the antics of Michelle Antoinette Obama.
Email for Thank You/Birthday Greeting: Radiopatriot@gmail.com
***************************
ACTION ITEMS involving writing anyone like this will be RED TEAM ACTION ITEMS on the new HillBuzz site, where we can keep track of these better and churn out more of them.
Sometimes they will be emails, but usually they will be postcard projects — since writing actual letters in the mail gets the best response and most attention from officials, but they use the anthrax scare excuse not to read letters in envelopes and I believe they just flat out ignore emails.
The postcards will get to their offices, though, and staff will be forced to read them.
So, if you like to write, the new HB site will have a lot of opportunities to do that.
