Tammy Bruce: "I Want To Rip Bill Clinton's Eyes Out"

"I Want To Rip Bill Clinton's Eyes Out"

Would-be First Lady Michelle Obama illustrates how she's more Non-Mean and Morally Superior to all of you who simply want the Clintons to go away. She actually imagines doing physical harm to those with whom she disagrees. When you start thinking it might be a good idea to install padded walls in one of the White House rooms you know we're in trouble.

'I want to rip Bill Clinton's eyes out. Kidding! See, that's what gets me into trouble'

...She is often called 'regal' but her bearing is less royal than military: brisk, often stone-faced (even when making jokes), mordant. Obama works out like 'a gladiator', a friend has said. When people - they're almost always shorter - ask her to pose for pictures, instead of bending her knees she leans at the waist. Her smile is doled out sparingly, a privilege to be earned, rather than an icebreaker or an entreaty...

In Wisconsin, I asked her if she was offended by Bill Clinton's use of the phrase 'fairytale' to describe her husband's characterisation of his position on the Iraq war. At first, Obama responded with a curt 'No'. But, after a few seconds, she affected a funny voice. 'I want to rip his eyes out!' she said, clawing at the air with her fingernails. One of her advisers gave her a nervous look. 'Kidding!' Obama said. 'See, this is what gets me into trouble.'

Yes, Michelle, despite efforts to mask what you and your husband think and who you really are, being honest and exposing the truth will indeed always get you in trouble. As it should.

I heard some recent clips of her speaking the other day and I could have sworn it was Eeyore. Maybe the Democrats should change their donkey logo to Eeyore. All that depressing and defeatist language epitomizes their outlook perfectly.

The more I know of her, the more I dislike this whiny, chip-on-her-shoulder, overblown-sense-of-entitlement woman.

The Messiah's wife is only kidding. Well, that's a relief to this embittered G*d and gun-clinging typical white person.

This woman is going to be an unbelievable liability to her husband, come what may. How is it possible that life is as hard as she would have us believe for an ivy league educated couple scraping by on a nearly a quarter million a year? And despite making millions on bestselling books, and having her salary doubled (over $300K/yr for her alone), she's still a victim somehow. What chutzpah!

Tammy,
When Pres. Clinton's remark created such a brouhaha I wracked my brain trying to see how it could be taken as a "racial slur" so offensive that it necessitated the osculating of Rev. Sharpton's ample backside. It did not bring to mind any hint of racism in the works of Hans Cristian Andersen or Aesop or Rocky and Bullwinkle's Fractured Fairy Tales. Practically every story, however, does have some character masquerading as something or someone they're not (the wolf as Grandma, a prince as a frog, etc.) which may account for the outraged reaction. Too close to home, as they say. And it can truly be said of Michelle Obama, who may be First Lady to the second "black president", that her view of our great nation is hopelessly Grimm.

The thought of Hillary/Bill or Barack/Michelle being in the White House makes me physically ill.

Christopher Hitchens has some interesting things to say about Madame Obama this week: http://tinyurl.com/5o6gaj
This woman may well be even worse than Hillary.

If Hillary is a glacier then Michelle is Antarctica.

She crazy.

Gee, Hill only threw lamps at him. Another example of why it was a mistake to "soften" Hillary.

What happened to the good old days when someone could run for the presidency without his or her spouse running their mouths in the background? Remember Barbara Bush? Nancy Reagan? Pat Nixon? Roselyn Carter? Right! They were there, but not really there. I vote for one person. Not a family.
