| LOS ANGELES – "Honored to see First Lady Michelle Obama wearing our Spring 2013 dress at the final presidential debate," boasted the Twitter account of fashion label Thom Browne soon after Monday night's debate. Yet over at the Twitter account of OscarPRGirl, the official publicist for Oscar de la Renta, not a word was uttered about the fact that Ann Romney had donned a dark teal dress from the designer's collection. But that's nothing new.

Comments: Wintour is one ugly, hateful woman.

Ann Romeny doesn't need Anna Wintour or a 'label' too look fabulous - the woman is beautiful no matter what she wears.

There is no doubt in my mind that this is going on. Whether overtly or with simple attitude, the "artistic" community knows their careers depend on hating Republicans.
Wintour is only one of the powers-that-be who engages in tacit intimidation.

FTA "And after Romney sported a Diane von Furstenberg wrap dress, the DVF team went as far as to distance themselves from Romney by reportedly claiming that they were unsure how she obtained the dress." Charming group of people.
#1, Target clothes on Honey Boo Boo's mom would look better than most of the outfits Mooch wears.

You know, I think I'm starting to favor higher tax rates. Well, only on specific groups:
1. Hollywood leftists 2. Left wing fashion designers and foo-foo magazine publishers.
I'm thinking a 150% tax rate might be fair.

Moochie needs a burqua, IMO. Her ugliness comes from the inside.
Ann Romney's beauty is from her inner courage.

Who cares what this mean woman thinks? Michelle wears ugly and trashy clothes, and everything looks two sizes too small. Michelle is built like a linebacker, and she has no dignity, no class, and absolutely no common sense when it comes to her clothes. I am always so embarrassed to see Michelle out in public looking the say she does.

Really, there's a simple solution to this, which is right down the Romney's alley. Ann should find small designers (nice people who are trying to make it big nationally) and have them make any special clothes she needs.
She would be setting trends (cause she already has a following), helping new designers get big-name recognition, AND supporting smaller businesses. Plus there's the added benefit of snubbing these snobs.
How's that for a win on all fronts?

I would lay bets that there are already designers lining up to outfit Mrs. Romney and Mrs. Ryan when their husbands win this November (yes, I said when, not if). Some of those designers are speaking out of both sides of their mouths I assure you. But at the end of the day, they are businessmen/women and they want their designs seen. On another note, Mrs. Ryan wore a couple of dresses from Talbots at the RNC convention and the libs were furious when Talbots mentioned it on their FB page. I haven't seen any more entries on their FB page since.

She of the dyed dutch-boy bob is a sore loser. Vogue lost its relevance a long time ago.
Personally, I thought that grey and black lace number last night (with the bizarro bow broach at the neck) was totally out of place. Maybe for an evening at a nice restaurant or cocktails, but not for a debate. Didn't help her derriere, either, and once again demonstrated that MO's taste is in her mouth.
Wonder what she's going to do when the dresses aren't free?

Ann Romney wears Oscar de la Renta. And Alfred Fiandaca. Has for a long time. And she pays for them.
Mooch shills for all the wannabes and has killed off at least two of "her" sycophantic designers, one a woman in Chicago whose name already escapes me, and the other a designer for young things - Tracy Feith - whose casual Gidgety clothes she even wore to the National Cathedral. As the article states, Mooch will wear anything a designer sends her with a note of gratitude enclosed.
Hollie doesn't realize that most Americans want an elegant First Lady, not a clothes Clydesdale.

I'm sure Ann Romney is not losing one wink of sleep over this one. She buys almost exclusively off the rack (albeit many designer names), and couldn't care less what these boobs think. As others have said, she could wear a burlap flour sack and look simply ravishing.

Name one First lady in history besides Michele who boards Marine One in cut off shorts and flip flops? She has a huge butt, which lets be honest, is the main trait of black women. She hates our country, "all this for a damn flag" and gets coddled by the press and Hollywood. Afterall, we wouldn't want to OFFEND her would we. Go home Moochie, a real all American woman is about to send your wide load packing.

Hollie McKay is a young entertainment and pop culture reporterette from Australia who migrated to the US and Fox.
This piece is pure speculation piled on more speculation.
Thom Browne is a dreadful designer (go and find his designs at style.com) who would dress our men in tiny tight jackets and skinny capri pants that look as though they were bought in the boys department or shrunk in the laundry.
The dress Mooch wore was no exception. It made her already linebacker-dimensioned shoulders look larger, her unboobs look smaller and her ginormous butt look mammoth. The sweet little black bow at the back of the waistline directed us to that butt although it was hard to miss. The drab color on a very black woman was deadly.

(Cont'd) What naive young Hollie doesn't seem to know is that Ann Romney has been dressing herself from Oscar de la Renta and other designers as a matter of course. (Now stand back for the hits that she is elitist and out of touch!) Moochell never wore designer clothes until she began campaigning in 2007 and sought out Chicago boutique owner Ikram to shop for her and provide her with her wardrobe. We read reams about how these clothes flooded the White House, complete with shoes and accessories, jewelry, the works. Sometimes they sort of fit, sometimes they didn't, sometimes they were grossly inappropriate as the weird getup to visit Westminster Cathedral for a private guided tour by its dean. And the big red flowered bare cocktail dress for a posthumous Medal of Honor (daytime) ceremony. The list goes on and on.
Anna may be trying to wield some kind of influence, but I doubt that someone as big as Oscar de la Renta would buckle to it. He is a businessman.

Michelle thinks if she wears something that looks like lace she will appear to be small and feminine. The outfit she had on last night looked like a gray tee shirt with black lace trim. Unbecoming and not flattering at all. She looks like a desperate drag queen.

Ann Romney's dress would have looked good on the Mooch if she could have had it properly altered to fit nicely. And Ann would have looked odd had she worn the bizarrely inappropriate dress that the Mooch wore last night. The difference is that Ann dresses the way her husband likes her to dress (and he seems to have excellent taste!), whereas the Mooch dresses to make other women jealous.

Liberals are meanspirited. Michelle Obama wears clothes too young for her. Did you see her on The View in a little girl's green frock that matched the sofa. Talk about stupid. Wonder who picked that out for her. She is trying to outdo Kate Middleton but it won't work. Her big rear end is hard to fit.

Just Googled her photo too. Wondered out loud why a woman 63 years old would wear her hair in that silly looking, childish cut and hubby said: "She's sixty-three; to hide the plastic surgery scars." (Behind her ears...)
OMG! That is exactly right! The English have a great descriptive term for women like Anna Wintour; they call them:
'Mutton dressed as lamb.'
Perfect!
And if I had ever bought that ridiculous, pointless magazine she edits (and please check my handle -and yes, its a magazine) I would quit buying it now. This woman is pathetic.

Wintour's stupid campaign is a good reason to shop on eBay for such designer baubles - it's the only way to make sure they don't get any profit.
Here's a designer whose politics are "to the right of Beowulf" - Zoran. Wear his stuff, he likes rightwingers who don't demand wholesale or comps and he has no use for Wintour or her idiotic ilk:

Facing a surging homicide rate and several headline-grabbing murders, Chicago’s top cop is taking aim at lobbyists who he says prevent politicians from implementing more gun control measures. Appearing on a local Windy City Sunday morning talk show on the radio station WLSAM, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said special interests that lobby politicians to influence their opinion on gun control are the real problem. “If there was a special interest influencing police work, I believe that would be called corruption,” McCarthy said.

Clinton, in what may be her final set of testimony as secretary, pointedly challenged Republican Wisconsin Sen.

Shortly after the Army said it was launching an investigation of hiring practices at its 283 day care centers worldwide, Panetta´s press secretary, George Little, issued a statement saying Panetta supports the review. Little said Panetta has directed each of the military services to conduct similar reviews.

A California school district is defending its decision to name a new elementary school after an infamous murderer – by calling him a hero and a role model to children. The decision has infuriated many parents and law enforcement officers. The Alisal Union School District in Salinas agreed to name the new school in honor of Tiburcio Vasquez – who was eventually hanged for killing at least two people in the nineteenth century. Superintendent John Ramirez defended the board’s decision telling Fox News that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.

Federal workers, the coalition wrote in a letter, have contributed more than their fair share toward reducing the debt and are the only group that has been targeted so heavily. “Federal and postal employees and their families are hardworking, middle-class Americans who are struggling during these tough times just like other Americans,” the group wrote.

Washington - In the final week of the U.S. presidential campaign, one advertisement was on heavy rotation in the swing state of Wisconsin. It featured three women named Connie, Kim, and Anita who told viewers the reasons they were switching their support from President Barack Obama to Mitt Romney. The Republican campaign hoped that women throughout America would follow the lead of that trio, but Obama was able to preserve his coalition of female voters en route to winning a second term on Tuesday. Obama beat Romney 55 percent to 43 percent among women, according to

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Beyonce and Jay-Z celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Cuba this week. The couple, who married on April 4, 2008, took in the sights of Old Havana, visited a school, dined on a rooftop terrace and strolled the fan-filled streets in their island best.(snip).The power couple declined to answer journalists´ questions about their visit to the island nation, but some outlets are reporting that the moguls are there as tourists, though that would be illegal because of the half-century embargo the U.S. has on the Communist country. However, the Miami Herald said Washington has issued special licenses for
