Really, Tea Partiers? You’re upset that the First Lady of the United States was on the Oscars? It’s not like she gave a political speech.

I wouldn’t have objected to Laura Bush appearing. Heck, even George W Bush saying a few nice things about the movies would have been OK.

But somehow whenever Michelle does anything, you guys react like the devil has appeared. “Michelle has suggested that we should eat better and exercise! She’s trying to take away our rights!!!”

Is there anything she can do publicly that you don’t disagree with? And is there any chance you might stop looking like idiots?

Addendum: After posting this, I discovered that in 2002 Laura Bush did appear on the Oscars, on a big screen, just like Michelle Obama. Hey, does everyone remember how liberals protested when that was done?
