Oh God. Wolf Blitzer now asking why Michelle Obama is not at the memorial.

[TeamJordan23]

Look for MSM and GOP to start playing the card that Michelle doesn't love the country because she is not there.

[Neecy]

1. oh, brother

She has young kids who are in school - where would he rather she be?

[Supersedeas]

2. Leslie has checked his facsimile machine

[BeyondGeography]

3. I dunno; where's the GOP VP and potential future President, Wolf?

[Sebastian Doyle]

4. Leslie Blitzer has no business being on a US TV network

He's a Likudist hack.

[gateley]

5. Didn't even think of that. It probably would have been good if she was there --

gotta play the game, aggravating as it is.

[Captain Hilts]

27. Yes, it would have been better for her to be there. nt

[WinkyDink]

6. Is she REALLY proud yet?

*SARCASM*

MAYBE MO is with her CHILDREN.

[SweetieD]

7. Give me a break

[ramapo]

8. Sometimes when you havenothing to say...

Keep your mouth shut.

[bunnies]

9. Shes home taking care of her CHILDREN.

Damn her for being a good Mother. :eyes:

[Kool Kitty]

16. Exactly.

Klondike Annie is home seeing her son off, is he going to question that? She won't be at Ground Zero with Grumpy. (Duh, I guess Biden isn't there, either. Nothing like me going off half-cocked.)

[Ian David]

23. Maybe that's why none of Michelle's children have been knocked-up by a "fucking redneck." n/t

[man4allcats]

32. Oouuu! That's a good one!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[BklynChick]

10. she's home with her children!

sorry... couldn't resist.

[mscuedawg]

35. That was my first thought TOO!!!!

we need a smiley for :fistbump:

[ErinBerin84]

11. why is Cindy there? Can McCain REALLY go nowhere by himself?

Michelle has little girls. Wolf Blitzer is a piece of trash.

[Ian David]

21. Does Inspector Monk ever go anywhere alone, either? n/t

[blondeatlast]

37. As a confirmed Monk fanatic, yes he does, but it ALWAYS lands him

in trouble...

Hmm... you may be on to something.

[Shine]

12. Maybe she's at home taking care of the kids.

why isn't Palin there, for that matter? :shrug:

[pdxmom]

13. You mean he's questioning whether she is being a good mom or not? Before

bringing that crap up, maybe he needs to find out if she's at home, with the girls just recently starting school. Then they can question her motherhood.

[JackintheGreen]

14. None of us are there either.

But then it's clear from where we spend our time online that we already don't love America. :hi:

[marylanddem]

15. What a fucking shithead.

[alsame]

17. I thought it was just supposed to be the candidates - no VPs, no

spouses. Why is Cindy there, just to make Michelle look bad?

[dbonds]

18. Better question is why Cindy McCain is there.

Could McCain not do it on his own? Must he always have a handler with him? She isn't the candidate, so why is she there with the leaders on this official occasion.

[Ian David]

20. Maybe Cindy knows a pusher in New York? n/t

[Ian David]

19. Yeah, but Michelle never joined an anti-American Separatist group like Todd Palin did. n/t

[EffieBlack]

22. Hey, people - why not do your reporting FIRST and then discuss it on air

Obama said last night on Letterman that his daughters are starting school this week. If I know this, why couldn't they check on it before speculating on air - clearly giving ammunition to those who love to run with innuendo and speculation without waiting for the truth to be broadcast?

Since the press is swooning all over motherhood this week, one would think they would find it wonderful that Michelle Obama opted to stay in Chicago with her daughters for this important event.

These people are not only irresponsible. They're just downright lazy.

[yardwork]

24. Is Sarah Piglin, the Pork Queen of Alaska, at the memorial?

[Ishoutandscream2]

25. Leslie is such an embarrassment. Not a particularly bright man

Can't stand him.

[chelsea0011]

26. She's too busy at a flag burning.

:sarcasm: Did I really need this?

[man4allcats]

28. Gee, I don't know. Let's see now...

Could it be those two young children she has? I wonder which is the greater "family values" issue: going to Ground Zero to pay homage to the memories of those poor people who died seven years ago and thus are sadly beyond all help or caring for those children that are alive now and represent the future of this nation. Christ! Sometimes I wish Wolf Blitzer would decide to serve his country in Iraq; preferably somewhere well outside the Green Zone. What a jackass!

On edit: It occurs to me that crediting Wolf Blitzer with the title of journalist is like putting ... yes, you guessed it ... Lipstick on a Pig!

[godai]

29. It's looking like a setup.

Obama was kept waiting for 5-10 minutes, for McCain to arrive. Then they both show up. It just doesn't look right. I think Cindy showing up was a surprise. What could they do...push her aside?

[godai]

30. Cindy was just ice cold in her goodbye handshake to Obama.

Lipstick on a pig was on her mind, I'm sure.

[ErinBerin84]

33. Mrs "you won't see any negative campaigning from us! " can go to hell as far as I'm concerned

I used to pity Cindy, now I just dislike her.

[RoadRage]

31. I hope they do!

That way we can fire back with "Obama's kids don't go to school in NYC" and rather then having nanny's take care of the girls, Michelle actually takes them to schoo every day.

Let's see how that plays with the "She's one of us" loving women in this country who dropped their kids off this morning!

[CitizenPatriot]

34. she was worried that McCain's support for child molesters

would place her girls in jeopardy.

she did what any GOOD mother would do; she chose not to use her children as political props. It was a personal decision and should be respected by the media.

[Retrograde]

36. and if she were there

he'd be asking why she wasn't at home for her young children. Blitzer likes to have it both ways.

[Born_A_Truman]

38. Michelle is in Chicago for the first week of school for the girls

per MSNBC just now.
