Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Michelle Obama: Have you seen the price of earrings at Tiffany’s lately?

The title of this post comes from a snortworthy piece of snark from See-Dubya.

Not satisfied with watching her hubby hog the limelight with effete, elitist gaffes, Shelly O wants to get in on the action.  From the NYT blog, we see Shelly’s take on the stimulus checks:

“You’re getting $600. What can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything. But maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn’t pay down every bill every month.

“Barack’s approach is that the short-term quick fix kinda stuff sounds good. And it may even feel good that first month when you get that check. And then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings.”

Naturally, the devoutly Obama NYT’s blogger dismissed it as a “botched joke”!  Those leftists sure are prone to that, aren’t they?

  1. You’re getting $600. What can you do with that?

    I guess she could start with paying off the student loans she’s always whining about, rather than buying a pair of earrings!

    Not to be ungrateful or anything

    Heh! What a whiney, malcontented, militant WITCH.
    She makes Hillary likeable.

  2. Bush initially wanted the rebates to be larger. Now on the news last night Congress, who forced Bush to accept smaller rebates, wants to send out another rebate check since the first one didnt work like they thought it would. DUH

    Not to be obvious or anything, but the stimulus was never really advertised as a way to pay off all your household bills on a monthly basis.

    $600 earrings. Way to put yourself out there with the wretched poor!

  5. “Not to be obvious or anything, but the stimulus was never really advertised as a way to pay off all your household bills on a monthly basis.”

    It really wasnt meant to be used to pay off bills, it was meant to be use to STIMULATE the economy which means by being SPENT not saved. Of course the govt couldnt really say PLEASE SPEND AWAY.

  6. WMD – I think it was made pretty clear in the MSM that we po’ folk were targeted for the stimulus because we’d be more likely to go out and blow it all ;)

    Whether I spend $600 on catching up a bill or buying a pair of earrings, I’ve still released $600 into circulation. The stimulating effect should be the same.

    It’s just silly for Michelle Obama to make such a comment.
