Isn't she lovely?

In her prime-time speech Monday, Michelle Obama foiled her harshest detractors and perhaps even won over Middle America.

    Guess what Maureen? Nobody cares!

    Just keep rambling on about wigs and hair plugs and the transgressions of long-dead members of the Kennedy family. If you want to get some digs in at Teddy, go right ahead, but unfortunately for you, "time" has already been called on this scandal. It was tragic and unforgivable, but most of us have moved on. I do thank you for your condescending attempts to educate the grubby masses of benighted Americans on the whys and wherefores of the thing, but as usual, you are made of epic FAIL.

    I don't expect any response, but if I do get one, can you please make lots and lots of literary reference with absolutely no relation to the subject at hand? Because that's what we all tune in for Maureen, to see what stream-of-consciousness drivel you'll cook up next. Personally, I'm hoping to hear more about wigs! WIGS! FTW!!
