What Is Drudge Trying To Say About Michelle Obama, Exactly?

poll
» 41 comments


A number of people have emailed today about the photo of Michelle Obama Drudge has been running on his site all morning. As you can see above it’s a picture (certainly not the best one taken last night, but let’s leave that aside) of the First Lady dressed up for last night’s state dinner with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, accompanied by the caption ‘Sex in the City.’

What conclusions are we supposed to draw from this? I thought I’d put it to a poll.

    She looks smoking hot. Reminds me of all of those beautiful women that walk on International Blvd, by the airport on Friday night. Never could figure out where all those women were going, but they are going there every week-end. Must be some place fun.

  • Richard Riker

    Now that’s a K Street whore. Al Grayson would be proud.

  • stoogedudes

    You stay classy, Richard Riker…

  • hkyplayer

    I see now when Obama talks about putting lipstick on a pig who he is referring too.

  • td7456

    “Sludge” is just being his racist self!

  • badr

    There is a similarity there with her and Sarah Jessica Parker, if you know what I mean.

  • badr

    I think it’s vulgar for Michelle to show off all of that fat, shame on her.

  • Glynnis MacNicol

    Just a heads up to everyone in this comments section: keep it respectable or you will find your self banned from commenting on the site in general. Thanks in advance.

  • tiredofbs

    Who dresses this woman?
    Seriously, is she herself blind?
    every time i see a photo of her, i have to giggle.
    That getup, is a page right out of the SHNOOKY JERSEY SHORE CLOSET
    For God’s sake lady, get some style

  • tiredofbs

    Just compare the picture of Mexican First Lady side by side;
    One looks like a lady, the other like a Goddess wannabe/Queen of the world …wannabe
    or in drag…

  • tiredofbs

    ‘ust a heads up to everyone in this comments section: keep it respectable or you will find your self banned from commenting on the site in general. ”

    —————————–
    Does this mean we, like your Site have to use compliments &
    accolades for anything Left/White House?

  • Liberty – Not Redistribution

    She does look fairly nasty. Of course she does regardless of how many thousands of dollars she spends on dresses and shoes.

    Mean while, foreclosures are up, unemployment numbers for this week went up, the stock markets close to dipping below 10K, and we have American warriors in Afghanistan. These politicians, regardless of party, should be thrown in jail.

    Yes, please continue the fine tradition of respect that the mediate commenters show on a daily basis…..

    Good grief….

  • BMP

    good grief, it looks like a cheap, flashy prom dress. The woman has absolutely no class and is a national embarrassment.

  • aimlowjoe

    Drudge is a racist. And Michelle could kick his ass!

  • sweetwalter

    the face of a bulldog, the ass of a water buffalo and walks like a trucker but a nice personality….reminds me of my first and only blind date.

  • Vivienne2010

    OMG! Couldn’t someone ….. anyone have told her the “pitty titty” is never an appropriate look for a state dinner?

    The gig is up on these two uncouth poseurs. Calderon and his wife were much more appropriate, showing tasteful restraint – especially in these difficult economic times

    That Matt Drudge and crew were going after Mrs. Obama is not a newsworthy item,
    as it is expected from them because it translates into $$$.

    My interpretation of the message The Drudge Report was trying to convey was that
    Michelle Obama, wife to The President of The United States and the current holder
    of the title ‘First Lady of The United States’-looks extremely tacky and not at all like a
    lady should appear at a function which represents The United States of America.

    After viewing the images of President Obama and his wife Michelle, I was under the
    impression that this was another ‘Date Night’ they proudly experience at least once
    a week. The expressions of President Obama, when glancing upon Mrs. Obama, are
    ones of a happy, ‘gonna get some later tonight, ‘DAMN!!!’ male response.

    The problems I have with these images of The First Lady is that:
    -the type of dress she was wearing, combined with the way she was wearing her hair
    and along with the makeup and the high heels….I should not be gazing upon this
    woman in the same manner as her husband-she is a political figure and should
    present herself in accordance with American and International tradition.
    -Now, I know nothing about fashion(especially that of a woman), but isn’t the upper
    portion of her dress way too tight? It just looks so damn uncomfortable. Isn’t her hair
    styled in a manner that screams out to the world ‘I’m in control-Look at me!’. The
    lipstick-I’m having difficulty determining which glow-in-the-dark shade that is…..

    Michelle Obama is a powerful woman, and President Obama would not be in
    elected office if it were not for his wife, but after viewing these images I am led to
    believe that if President Obama had the Cojones to object to the way his wife appeared,
    her response was probably:
    ‘WHAT!!?? I got you this far and I will wear what I want and look the way I want-and if
    you don’t like it Mr. President, I will kick your ass…….again!’

  • Sue

    It is very simple, everyone that goes to Drudge will click, as I did, on her photo. I believe
    that she is a beautiful woman but what she needs, and has needed since January
    of 2009, is a good fitter…someone who knows how a dress is supposed to fit the body
    of the wearer. The dress is great, her hair is great, but the underarm section does not
    fit well. I have to say, that it almost represents her husband’s administration: it may
    look great, but it doesn’t fit the body well. And, I am not an Obama supporter in
    anything, never have been and never will be, but I am not blind, deaf and dumb.

  • notsofast

    She is a ‘ho!

    Ok I didn’t see the whole dress. She looks O K. A little tacky, but at least shes not dressed like an Ewok….

    ————————————-
    ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE FOR THAT TYPE NAME CALLING.
    __________________
    As one can see I’m not a fan of Mrs Obama..
    Calling her a h* is just Trolling- that type comment does not
    come from honest opinion, just trolls(?) trying to make the opposition
    look bad? Or just plain childish.

    One a positive note, this card carrying (R) will admit that Michelle DID LOOK GOOD,
    very good, at the school function where they manipulated that little girl to “out”
    her mom as an illegal….
    Unfortunately, 95% of the”style looks” I’ve seen of her,
    have been poor taste or inappropriate for the occasion.
    Paris & that skirt w/the stick on flowers in weird colors come to mind…

  • sarainitaly

    i think this dress is one of the best ones i have seen her wear. it was pretty, just a terrible fit. they should have altered it to fit her on top. the color is nice on her, and her skin looks very nice.

    if i were her, i would call stacy and clinton for some advice on fit.

    i think drudge was saying she looked like someone on SATC.

    I’m utterly amazed that you allow liberals to make any demeaning, slanderous, hateful thing they wish about any conservative or any conservative idea but you warn us to not make any unflattering remarks about Ms. -0bama. How utterly two-faced you are!!!!!

  • http://none pyrope

    Who was it that said about Sarah Palin “you put lipstick on a pig, it’s still a pig?” Could it have been Ms. -0bama’s husband? Well, by golly, I believe it was!

  • AmericanCowboy

    Michelle Obama? You mean Ru Paul?

  • mynwworld5

    I think we can’t comment on anyone’ s looks. Looks doesn’t matter for anyone. How someone behaves and it’s attitude towards public is really matters. acekard

  • Phocus

    She looked hot, but cheap. She’s the first lady. It’s a state dinner. Where is the class? She should save the hot sexy stuff for when she is the former first lady…say January 2013.

  • MerryMarjie

    I think she looked absolutely lovely, and she is a charming and gracious first lady, indeed. The negative comments against her appear to be wishful thinking, jealousy, and partisan politics rather than objectively considered opinions.

    Michelle Obama has a style all of her own, and just because it doesn’t conform to “expert” analysis doesn’t mean it is gauche. Snobs need to rethink their positions and sense of expression.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Bill-Adkins/1585417987 Bill Adkins

    The thing about Matt Drudge he is immune to how hot Michelle Obama might be. Matt Drudge finds hot in a hairy male with a big dick to satisfy Matt Drudge’s oral cravings.

  • http://reidreport.com j2thaizzo

    You know, I’m always amazed how any story about Michelle Obama brings out the right-wing, racist, knuckle dragging thugs. We’ve had a tradition that most people with an ounce of decency have observed in this country — attack the politician, leave the spouse and kids alone. And yet, Michelle Obama is constantly called every ugly name in the book, and on top of it, denigrated for her dark skin and African-American features (nothing racist about that…) by the likes of the people on this thread, while other first ladies like Laura Bush and even Barbara Bush, as mean-spirited as she showed herself to be during Katrina, are left alone. And spare me the lectures about Sarah Palin. Ms. Palin IS the politician in her family, and it is she who put herself forward for public consumption, and who continues to afflict us with her rank ignorance. I wonder why the Republican party and conservative movement have so much trouble attracting young people, minorities and anybody with an ounce of decency or good sense in this country. Could it be because you are such a bunch of classless, racist, ugly assholes? Yeah, I think that’s it.

    If you are so unhinged at the thought of Republicans not running the country in perpetuity, perhaps you could move to a country that suits you better. Since the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany have gone into the dustbin of history, along with Mussolini’s Italy or Franco’s Spain, perhaps a one-party state like Saudi Arabia would suit you. Since they already own Fox News, you’d surely feel right at home.

  • http://reidreport.com j2thaizzo

    Conservatives and Republicans get precisely the respect they deserve in this country, which is to say none at all.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Ruth-Gretzinger/596613915 Ruth Gretzinger

    wow, j2, that’s truly the epitome of the leftwing philosophy! people who don’t agree with you are clearly stupid and bad. YOU, on the other hand, are clearly wonderful and good. and anyone who doesn’t see that is an idiot. and then you piss and moan about how we “can’t have civil discussions in this country” anymore. wonder why that is?

    back on topic: Michelle Obama is not a very pretty woman. she’s big and she’s manly. she also doesn’t have a very well developed sense of fashion (despite the lib talking points), and she clearly doesn’t know what looks good on her, and usually ends up wearing something that emphasizes the manliness, not hides it.

    problem is, I think she is surrounded by yes-men just like her husband is. there’s nobody telling her “girlfriend, that looks skanky” just as there’s nobody telling her husband “uh, maybe you should have them read the law before they file suit” and things like that.

    my people would call Michelle’s dress “shmatte.”

    I challenge all these posters who make these demeaning comments to post pictures of themselves dressed up in their finery. Then we will see their wonderful sense of fashion! I bet they all look like frumps! My goodness! When hate goes to this extremes it means they have nothing substantial to say!

    Isn’t it obvious? Michelle Obama is the most classless piece of trash to ever become first lady. America clearly traded down when we got stuck with the Obamas for 4 miserable years.

  • Grayce

    When Jackie Kennedy became First Lady, her style was different from pop culture’s way. She did not follow fashion trends; she actually hid her waistline with short boxy jackets and high-waisted dresses. Her hats were straight from the queen mother in England. And guess what? The American people let her have her way, without nastiness. Some even followed her style trends.
    There is a modern stubbornness showing up that for some reason Michelle Obama has to prove her style sense by being a follower. OF WHOM? If you think about the American obsession with the body and its attractiveness–almost everywhere–you would have to applaud her for her fitness and fashion-forward wardrobe. Before anyone posts a negative criticism about appearance, I would love to see that person post a personal best photo to establish credentials. I’d like to vote on that.
    We elected Barack Obama just as we elected every president before him. By tradition, we have called his spouse FIRST Lady. What is there about the word “first” that people don’t understand?
