Isn't she lovely?

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

    Because you're being a hypocritical moron, and you know it, mulligan

    First you want to complain about people whining about victimization and affirmative action.

    You're whining about the whiners to start with. That's your first mistake.

    Then you want to complain about how your fellow black law students all (yeah I'm sure it was ALL) scored 20 points lower than you on the entrance exam. More whining anyone? I thought you hated whiners. Who's the one crying victim now? Easy it's you. Also I find it hard to believe you scored 20 points higher than ANYONE on the LSAT given that it's an exam that measures, largely, your ability to use logic.

    Also there's the fact Obama didn't even bother to fill out his race on his Harvard Law School Admission form, so it's hard to see how he benefitted from affirmative action there. But I'm sure you'll find a way.

    That's a fact we've pointed out numerous times to those who want to whine about affirmative action. Shockingly we get no response.

    And, yes, you're right Michelle Obama ONLY got into college because of affirmative action. (A dumb case, but I guess, one in the weakest sense.) You then go on to try and diminsh all of her subsequent acheivements, be they personal, financial or professional as a result of affirmative action. Yeah, sure.

    Finally you don't get to be editor of the Harvard Law Review through affirmative action. I'm sorry but you don't. And anyone who's gone to law school knows this.

    Barack Obama, whatever his other shortcomings might be, is clearly a brilliant mind. People can laugh, they can jeer, whatever.

    But this most recent respite of the last, bitter losers that Obama has no redeeming characteristics whatsoever and is nothing is sad and embarassing to those hate-filled enough to spew it. It's also stupid. No one's buying it.

    As for people constantly questioning you about Bush's speaking, easy: your total refusal to use logic (despite your managing to somehow pass the LSAT, an exam dependent on logic), your pre-school allusions to throwing up in your mouth, and your constant whining about affirmative action make you appear to many of us as the typical, dumb swing voter.

    You know the type who voted for Bush because he didn't make them throw up in their mouth and they wanted to have a beer with him. In other words the morons who managed to screw us over twice in the last 8 years, and are managing to find a way to somehow try and do it again by voting for John McCain. So thanks. From all of us.
