| First Lady Michelle Obama said Friday that following the rules at the presidential debates was an “important part of the process.” (Snip) She did not, however, adhere to the rules of Tuesday’s townhall debate where applause from audience members was prohibited. Mrs. Obama can clearly been seen clapping during the debate, following an exchange in which moderator Candy Crowley interrupted Republican challenger Mitt Romney.

Comments:
Here she is in another little girl's Easter frock...
Initial report was that she had started clapping first and others followed her lead. That makes the most sense, doesn't it...
Video accompanies article. Barf Alert!

If I were far less tasteful, I could think of a thousand and one jokes involving the locution "clapgate," and nearly all of them would involve Bill Clinton.

So it happened, no one can do anything about it. This is the typical liberal way of doing things. Break the rules and who is going to make them pay? Answer: No One.

Its more sinister than just disgraceful. Apparently she anticipated the pre-worked fix on the Benghazi question and started clapping just a little too soon.

Oh, how I wish I had never heard the names Michelle and Barack Obama. The smartest man in the room needed Mama Cass to help him make his point during debate #2. It was a set up, no doubt. He knew she had transcripts and he was pretty cocky with his "proceed governor". Benghazi alone is enough to get this fraud impeached. God help us if he is re-elected.

Honestly, I know it'll never happen, but I think she should not be allowed to attend the final debate (is there an audience for that one?) Her actions should have consequences.

Try, just try, to picture either Laura Bush or Ann Romney stooping to this low.
Hiliary, though - oh sure!
I'd have to go back to Jackie to name a Dim First Lady I would feel sure would have class.

Gen. John Allen has been appointed special U.S. envoy on security issues in negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. He will not mediate between the parties; his work will almost exclusively involve contacts with Israel. Allen will deal with the U.S. position on Israeli security needs and the security arrangements that would accompany the establishment of a future Palestinian state. Senior U.S. and Israeli officials note that while U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel made the appointment it was coordinated with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who is leading the effort to restart Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.

However, two of those officials said later in the day it was no longer clear what had happened. The third official had not received any new information.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.

Fox News chief Roger Ailes has sent a memo to his subordinates at the leading cable news network. He sent this memo to his staff today in connection with the federal investigation into an alleged leak to Fox News reporter James Rosen, a story that the Washington Post’s Ann E. Marimow broke earlier this week. The memo’s a masterpiece, too. For all those who wonder what it is about Ailes that endears his people to him — and that makes him such a good interviewee for any media reporter lucky enough to get an audience
