Even without this admission that Melania "admires" Michelle Obama. Just the fact that, of all the people and speeches she could have lifted from, she chose the First Lady's words. The very First Lady that Republicans have been ridiculing along with her husband for years.

I was reading some blog entry or tweet from a Republican RNC going blogger (don't have the link now) who at the moment was saying how inspirational her words were. I'm sure many others there were feeling that way. It is quite hilarious in a disturbing way to think of how they will be processing all this.

But there are big questions about the speechwriter's
work being an illegal campaign contribution

Their media will most likely never report it and when their people do see it on Facebook they will immediately dismiss it as liberal media lies.

If she'll cheat on a speech, she might cheat on her wedding vows.

In his warped mind, it's OK for him to cheat on her, but God forbid she should try it. Typical RW sexist double standards.

I recommend dropping "haters" from the language. Demonization to hate is so easy.

And "haters" so limits your pool: To find out what "haters" think about Melania liking Michelle, you'd have to hang out only with "haters." That's no fun.

They would never admit to cognitive dissonance, even if they understood what it meant.

At best, they'll shut their eyes and pray the bad thoughts away.
