Michelle's oil spill shirt scandal

  Comments began popping up around the web last night about this.  Weasel Zippers had something up about the shirt. Glenn Beck talked about being highly offended by it, calling it her "Marie Antoinette moment," although he didn't seem too serious about it. He said it seemed to be incredibly insensitive to the people of the Gulf, particularly with the "thumbs-up" sign. (On another note, there has been criticism for her flying her entourage down there for an oil spill dress pep talk for Americans to spend their vacations at the Gulf and then jetting back to go to Maine for HER vacation this weekend.) Another commentary here and here.
  While one does wonder what her 24 person staff was thinking allowing her to wear this to an area devastated by, um, an oil spill, this does seem to be a tempest in a teapot.
  Doesn't it? Or not? What do y'all think? Insensitive or not? Or WHAT WAS SHE THINKING??!!
