In comments, bbustard invites us to contemplate this particular emanation from Ann Althouse, wherein Miss Franzia-Havisham explains why the Obamas' marriage is a Sexist Travesty of a Sham.
It's typically tedious Althousiana, but what the hell.
Althouse is responding to some shit in the New York Post which has a provocative/stupid headline, something that is unusual for the New York Post, at least in the sad. fumey world of Ann Althouse.
"Michelle makes me tidy up, admits messy President Obama"
Actual headline at The NY Post for an article about how the First Lady is on the cover of Vogue again.
Yeah, the Post sure nailed it again with a snappy headline. Gosh.
It gets worse very quickly.
“I had this little bachelor apartment that Michelle refused to stay in because she thought it was a little, uh . . . you know, pizza boxes everywhere... When she came, I had to get her a hotel room.”
That's a very casual revelation that she would have slept overnight with him if only he'd had a nicer looking place. There's zero regard for the folks in this country (and world) who think you shouldn't have sex until you're married.
The hell?
Do you know who also has "zero regard for the folks in this country (and world) who think you shouldn't have sex until you're married"? That would be the overwhelming majority of the country and world.
And he's going out of his way to make her sound snooty. I had to get her a hotel room.
That bitch, being all happily wanton-hussy sex-willing until she demands a pizza-box free hotel room.
“And what Michelle has done is to remind me every day of the virtues of order,” the chief executive said. “Being on time. Hanging up your clothes. Being intentional about planning time with your kids.”
Why would a man say that about his wife? It makes it sound like they have a mother-and-son relationship.
It sounds like an unremarkably traditional marriage of the sort usually recommended by right-wing scolds, frankly. (MollyI & I are daring, insofar as we are both slobs, and we both hew to the ancient, traditional, & hallowed Irish attitude towards "being on time," namely, hahahahaha no.)
Anyway, Barack hardly comes across here as a Sex Pervert, unlike Ann Althouse...
And what woman wants to be thought of as a stickler for order? It's not sexy, and it's not respectful.
"Sexy" means fucking in a room littered with old pizza boxes, I suppose.
Meade is perhaps lucky that he got there before Oscar the Grouch did: if the trashcan is rockin', don't come knockin'.Talk about Deabauched Muppetry.
Plus, from a political standpoint, it sounds fascist, and it prompts us to think about her efforts to tell us what we're allowed to eat. Does she care about our health, or is it — as the right-wingers like to say — all about control?
Hitler made Poland clean up the old pizza boxes before he fucked it. This is exactly why Michelle von Obama wants your kid to eat celery and do some jumping jacks.
Althouse then goes on to say that Obama is a creep for acknowledging that there is a political advantage to portraying himself as a heterosexual male in a stable, reproductive marriage, even though he is a heterosexual male in a stable, reproductive marriage. Because this is something only Obama has ever done in history; no other politician has ever since the beginning of time tried to come across as a Family Man. Well, maybe Stalin did. Point ceded.
Althouse is her usual twit self. Frankly, from a "healthy relationship" point of view, the Obamas probably have the least skeevy marriage of any First Couple at least in my lifetime. I don't suppose this much matters in regards to anything. But I'm kind of sure that the Obamas quite enjoy fucking, and are decent parents, as these things go.
I'd ask for similar insights into Althouse's sex life, but NO.
MAS. According to Official Statistics, this blog has received 44,444 comments. And almost all of them had swear words!
MUCHO MAS. Althouse has commenters; puddles have larvae.
