Jennifer Rubin gets catty with Michelle Obama...

[Archae]

Geez Louise...

On Sunday, Obama made a surprise appearance via satellite at the 85th Academy Awards where she helped announce the Best Picture Oscar winner. According to a spokesman for Obama, the Academy contacted the first lady about being part of the ceremony.

Washington Post political blogger Jennifer Rubin, however, accused Obama of "feel[ing] entitled" to "intrude" on the ceremony, arguing that Obama's "celebrity appearance" made her seem "small and grasping":

1. There is no limit to the amount of jealousy

or animosity some are willing to exhibit. Poor, sad Rubin.

3. who in hell is Jennifer Rubin

13. Beat me to it. n/t

4. Of course, if it had been Laura Bush

they would have wanted to an Oscar to be given to her. Doesn't matter what the Obamas do - they will be condemned by the petty, selfish, loathsome right.

5. But It's Sure Fine If A President Or First Lady...

...shows up at one of their drinkie-drinkie functions...do some one liners and then get panned for not being "funny enough". Typical beltway circle jerking...

17. Is that her? Class act.

I just won't specify which class.

[Berlum]

7. She's just jealous because no one ever actually accused her of "journalism" n/t

8. The one who is small and grasping is rubin, and as far as her comment that the

First Lady was "intruding", she was asked to do it. There is only one explanation for this faux outrage, or the pseudo outrage when the 1st lady said kids should eat healthy

Hate and racism

9. I was thrilled to see Michelle

and even happier knowing how this would piss off the Right. Doubled the joy!

11. Yeah, and she has company on DU.

12. Is she saying she wasn't invited? Of course she was. So by definition, she is not intruding.

When someone invites you onto their program you are not an intruder, you are an invited speaker. And the inviting organization doesn't need the approval of Jennifer Rubin.

14. My response to Jennifer Rubin: Argo, argo

f@ck yourself.

15. She wanted to say uppity....
