Note scraps found around or on the tables of big-time professional journalists in America:

UPDATE: No, it’s not real, it’s a joke! I was sick this weekend and threw it together in my fevered brain! But it’s surprising how many emails I’ve had from people asking if its real!

Instapundit show us how laughable it all is. Thank God we have “gatekeepers and mediating intelligences” who ask the tough questions, conduct themselves with professional detachment and protect the public trust. Thank God we have journalists who “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”

Hot Air on the Wanda Sykes routine. Remember when Bill Clinton got up and told the world that Sister Souljah’s words were filled with “a kind of hate” that was unacceptable? When does Obama-the great unifier-have his “Wanda-Wake-Up” moment?

Brian Montopoli at CBS recaps on reactions by and for the president of all the people.

Jules Crittenden has a great round-up of reactions to the lip-smacking

While the bit-time journalists are drooling: they’re not asking questions.

Treason: And other words they don’t really understand.

Ann Althouse: That Air Force One “photo-op” seems fishier every day.

    Porn is really becoming pervasive.

    I think the whole thing is creepy. Like a bad movie.

    Q: When did American conservatives go from buying Ann Coulter and P.J. O’Rourke to becoming the party of being completely unable to laugh at anything any percent of the time?
    A: January 20, 2009.

    Monday night my granddaughter was inducted into the Beta Club. The speaker was a sensational lawyer only 32 years old, who gave a very motivational speech.

    She looked to me like Michelle Obama from her profile. After the program I went to tell her what a great speech she gave and asked if anyone ever told her she looked like Michelle Obama in profile.

    She said thank you and said she hoped that was a compliment. What could I say? I mumbled yes. Then she wanted to shake hands but I told her I had had a coughing jag and had coughed into them so she said she’d hug me instead. She put her arm around me and put her cheek to mine. Now that’s class! And, no, I don’t think Michelle is beautiful.

    [I think Michelle Obama is very attractive, myself, although her posture seems a bit slouchy, to me. But then, I know a lot of tall women who learned to "slouch" to be shorter than the boys in high school. I mostly like the way she dresses and she seems to be a good mother. I think she's doing a good job as first lady, too. Its not her fault that the press is madly overdoing the adulation. Is she wearing a mask? Maybe. But whether she is or not, she's representing the nation pretty well, I think. Her charming husband? Not so much. I am, oddly enough, simultaneously charmed and repelled by her husband. -admin]
