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.

Next time just throw her a fish and she will stop clapping.

What a lede. My mind went immediately to a place it should not have gone.

No way will I watch a video of her, however, I have been informed by a insider, she knows how to oink as well as clap.

Propriety would prohibit any discussion of the first lady's struggle with STD's.

Her extra energy came from massive amounts of lobster and champagne provided by US taxpayers.

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.

Maybe it should be called Classgate. The scandal is that she has no class.

She should have been asked to leave, BUT of course rules don't even apply to some people!

Racist article. We all know that the ultimate quota queen and her turbo quota husband are beyond reproach.

#2 for the win!

I would expect nothing less from the wide load queen.

Surely you would not expect the rules to apply to our self-annointed Royalty!

Michelle's clapping in not only first but much louder than everyone else's. It sounded amplified in some way. Odd.

Poster #2, that is ROYALLY CLASSIC! Thanks for a huge laugh at a huge buffoon of a woman.

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.

I saw the headline and thought it had something to do with Sandra Fluke's speech before an audience of 10.

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.

a little clapping is better her flapping her jaws and the constant beeping when she backs up

Class shows.

Michelle's 'clapgate,' could clearly be heard and seen on video of the event. -What a role model! s/

To adapt one of the MANY famously memorable lines by Judy Holiday in the MUST SEE film, Born Yesterday, it would seem that Mrs. 0 just, ''ain't got no couth!''

Do all dem pols think rules, like laws, are meant to be broken... ...by them?

Well all we know is most people act out what they are...

Crassgate.

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.
