Right-Wing Dick Moves

[DearAbby]

However misguided, some conservatives are earnest defenders of an ideology. But most are unprincipled schoolyard bullies who simply antagonize without regard to consistency.

An example of this observation is their criticism of the president’s (relatively few) vacations. Make no mistake, this is all about two things: 1) a “lazy and shiftless” racial dog whistle, and 2) retaliating against liberals for criticizing President Bush’s record number of vacation days.

But this item in the Washington Examiner attacks the First Lady for a ski trip. Again, I’m not sure when families became fair game, though it’s not shocking that conservatives would open that door. They’re responsible for a lot of awfulness. This, in particular, isn’t about policy or ideological awfulness. It’s just a dick move.

1. I made the mistake of picking up a copy of the Examiner a couple of weeks ago...

I was torn between recycling and tossing it down the trash chute. My issues with toxic waste got the better of me.

I think the FLOTUS can take it... for now. She gets a lot of love. Eventually it's going to burn out when even the Wingers can't take it any more.

It's been awhile since we've had such a genuinely good couple in the WH. It's obvious that the Republics can't give us that - the wives look beaten, broken, robotic or Martian. Despite the fact that Michele Obama probably hated that her husband ran and gained the WH, she's poised, glamorous and gorgeous and totally on top of it. That they hate it is just a bonus.

With a bunch more Dems in the House and Senate, the second term should be a cakewalk, but that's up to us.

Let's give Michele a break by giving her S.O. another term.
