The other Michelle has some bad advice about changing the subject:
In a pickle with your spouse over laundry you neglected to do or trash you forgot to take out?
Looking for an easy way to wriggle out of a tough spot with your boss?
Never fear. Michelle Obama is here with her new patented subject-changer:
“You know, this conversation doesn’t help my kids.”
Worked like a charm yesterday during her softball interview with NBC’s Meredith Viera...
I can see it now:
...
- Speeders arguing with traffic cops:
“You know, this conversation doesn’t help my kids.”
Let me deliver some first-hand reporting. I was pulled over, and as soon as the cop started in with his tedious "Do you know how fast you were going" shtick I cut him right off with "You know, this conversation isn't helping Michelle Obama's kids...".
Didn't help. Puzzling.
She's an ass.

That's because you used the wrong Michelle silly.

Maybe you need to look at your ticket. It probably charges you with "Driving while black"( or trying to act black ). It was your Michelle Obama schtick just bamboozled that bitter typical white policeman.

"No, Michelle, it doesn't. But it helps mine."

And some folks think that William Depends on the Meaning of Is Clinton would be an insufferable First Spouse? I'd vote for him over Michelle for First Spouse any time. Of course, Cindy McCain could clinch my vote for John Sidney if she pledges that she will donate some beer from her distributorship for "meet and greet" town meetings during the McCain Administration!

Pretend you're on the campaign staff and you just drew the short straw meaning YOU have to tell Michelle to cut out this carp!

The trooper pulled over the Good Ole Boy in the F-100 for speeding, and when he asked the fella "Got any ID", the driver paused for a moment, then said "About what"?

If it's Michelle's position that the Wright controversy will not help educate our children, oh boy, do I disagree...

This could lead to a whole new line of legal defense. Like the Twinkie Defense, only the Bulldoggy Defense.
"50 million in back taxes? You know judge, this conversation doesn't help Michelle's kids."
"Of course child pornography is, what I would consider, wrong. But I've been very clear, and I feel like I've said about all I'm gonna say about that."
"When the press uses words like "genocide", "concentration camps" and "killing fields", I don't think it's, you know, helpful. I'm just trying to stay focused on what matters to the American people."

How interesting that the conversation about the Wright controversy with Meredith "doesn't help [her] kids," but attending Church with a racist, anti-American Pastor who excels at ranting and raving and vulgarity, does.
Oh brother.

Ya know what I'd like to find out? If either of those kids were ever registered for this -
"THE CENTER FOR AFRICAN BIBLICAL STUDIES" at TUCC.
Which interviewer is going to ask Michelle Obama THAT?????
Posted by: Enlightened | May 01, 2008 at 04:52 PM
Her kids will be helped by living in the White (aptly named?) House.

Michelle is getting worried that her kids are going to be raised in Hillary's Village after all!
Posted by: Thomas Collins | May 01, 2008 at 06:30 PM
Someone needs to tell HIT about this! He's constantly wrangling with the VIHH, but is that conversation really helping his kids?

JMH:
Someone needs to tell HIT about this!
Tell me about what?!!?!?!!? mrs hit and run is out of town, I've got the little rascals to myself and well, I've been out of pocket.
Is someone threatening my kids? Well, bring it on, I'm well armed.
Is Obama trying to ... ... ... ... what the hell is he trying to do, make a case for Hillary, or what?
Sorry, I'm way behind. But with Wright, and the further Ayers links and Rezko question marks, I am getting bored with Obama.
Oh, and here's my line with Obama and Wright, days late and dollars short...
Obama can no more disown Wright than
he can disown the black communitySpitzer can disown "Kristen".Fade to black, already.

Hmmmm.
It's almost like the Chewbacca Defense.
It just don't make sense!
Posted by: memomachine | May 01, 2008 at 10:27 PM
The defense might work for either Michelle -- but I'm not sure it would work for the average guy. At least not with the patrol officers I've met.
