(That phrase is not to be taken literally in this post.)
Take, for example, the whole dog thing.
Axelrod took up the "Mitt tortured his dog" meme in January, though it had been bouncing around the web by various nefarious persons for years.
When the wags in the conservative blogosphere finally decided to throw the ball back, the Obama crowd was quickly silenced because, though dogs really do like to feel the wind in their hair, not many of them like to be eaten, which Obama admitted doing.
So recently a few dingdongs in the liberal MSM decided to go after Ann Romney for an expensive blouse she wore, thinking Michelle Obama would be inoculated from the same "your clothes are expensive not like the 99%" accusation because she has so recently gone on this populist routine...."I shop at Target..." "I work out in the White House..." "I wear J. Crew..."
Unfortunately there are waaaaaay too many examples of Michelle Obama's expensive lifestyle, though Lawrence O'Donnell would surely not count the famous trips around the world with her entourage thumbing her nose at the 99%.
Washington Free Beacon has a short rundown of the moulah Michelle blows on some of her outfits, some which really suck.
On March 13th, Michelle Obama wore a $2,720 L’Wren Scott cardigan to play tennisat a mini-Olympics event with local school children.
Even in trips to the third world, Mrs. Obama makes sure to dress first-class. On July 12, 2009, she wore a Sophie Theallet dress while visiting a hospital in Ghana. Similar Sophie Theallet dresses retail for $1,295 at Saks Fifth Avenue. The per capita GDP of Ghana is $3,100.Personally I don't care what she wears or spends on clothes, although I find it highly amusing because her clothes choices are sometimes so absurd.
But it really does seem pretty heartless when you go to a poor country or soup kitchen and wear outfits that cost as much as those people make in six months.
It is true that the cost of First Ladies' clothing hasn't been remarkable since the media attacked Nancy Reagan, but it sure is funny when these jokers, who so easily wield figurative swords against others are caught in their own schemes.
We can only hope this happens more often, and it is highly likely since the whole name "conservative" seems to be morphing.
Into words like "winner."
And "populist."
And "everyman."
And "retaliator."
Maybe even "comedian."
Then there's the whole Elizabeth Warren debacle. She had touted a possible Native American relative in her background, her proof being her mother's high cheekbones like all the Indians but, having brought this subject up in the past to benefit herself, someone asked what the deal was on that, thus spurring geneological investigations into her background.
And voila! Guess what we find out.
What was supposed to be an advantage for Warren turned out to be not only a lie, but a disadvantage because it has been discovered her relative was actually a Cherokee killer.
Then Michelle Obama who endlessly lectures the rest of us to eat carrots and not Whoppers of any kind has been told she'd better not be pictured so often eating ANY of the junk food she likes so much. (Remember when the Secret Service confiscated the cell phones of White Castle diners so they couldn't take pictures of her chowing down? Heh.) Likewise that skinny crow who is her husband is lectured to clean up his act.
Hoisted, man, hoisted.
And how about this?
Democrat celebrity, 1 percenter and eco-hypocrite John Travolta has been accused of sexual assalt. This is the way the accuser refers to himself:
““I represent the 99 per cent of the population, the working class, and I was put in an inappropriate situation that I didn’t put myself in. It is not for Mr. Singer to deny me my right!”I could go on but I'll cut it out.
For now.
