Why are we even subjected? Nobody voted for Michelle O. When you hire elect a Democrat president you get a twofer, a Democrat operative wife, When you hire elect a Republican president you get a demure woman behind the man, a gracious hostess to international guests, a woman with a pet social cause. That is my observation of these two fundamentally vile parties. I frankly cannot care about Monica Lewinsky I cannot possibly care about Michelle Obama, I don't care what they are talking about. I'm posting this because I find Lemon's reaction astounding. Astoundingly inappropriately defensive.
What do I expect the first lady to do? She is an unelected person. Not an official. I expect her to pick out White House china and allow elected officials to run the country as they're hired to do, and unelected non-officials remain irrelevant. Whoa, whoa, hang on. Who are you targeting? So who are you targeting? Who. Are. You. Targeting? I'm asking you, who are you targeting? Who. Are. You. Targeting?
Six times the same question where one time will do and that why I don't bother.

[Incidentally, "press pound sign" does not make sense to British because they are thinking, "£".]
Still, after all that, they are not so bad as Jordanian journalists. They are arguing about the Syrian war and apparently feel much more strongly than protecting the honor or intelligence or vanity of one's favorite first lady.

Moochelle's sign is about as militant as the Choom Gang intends to get.
In response to ol' pouty face someone wrote #BanBossy. Works for me.
I couldn't get past the first few moments of the first video.
Monica happened because of conservatives!?
This is why I don't watch political programming of any kind. I could get that kind of stupidity in TOP's comments section, and I don't read that crap.
The phony war between imaginary camps... well, I resigned from that a long time ago.
Like ST, I didn't last too long watching the first video.
It's fine and dandy to write that both parties are "fundamentally vile," until you realize that governing, or if you prefer, politics, is a fundamentally vile activity and whoever does it has to leave purity behind. The fact is that though all the sophisticates endlessly tell us there's not a dime's worth of difference between the two parties, there is. And I go with the party, the Republican Party, that is dirty but doesn't relish the dirt. Which is NOT an insignificant difference.
The left-media (our pathetic hack media) turned Monica into the villain and Bill Clinton into the victim.
That would never have happened if the circumstances were identical but with a prez with an R behind his name.
Hillary and the media referred to Monica with all sort of war-on-women ugliness. Hillary referred to Monica as a "narcissistic loony toon" and the media fell in line behind her, referring to Monica as all things slut related. It fit the agenda, and the agenda is always about promoting and protecting (and celebrating!) the corruptocrat.
Rush calls Sandra Fluck a slut and all hell breaks loose.
There's something fundamentally un-American about a prominent first lady, like she's the queen of the nation instead of the wife of some guy who managed to get himself elected to the presidency.
Didn't we fight a war or something to be rid of royalty.?
A lot of folks on the right are offended by Michelle O. I'm not.
She doesn't agitate me in the least.
Sure, Mrs. O sometimes says something odd (ie: 'this is the first time I'm proud of my country'...). I expect those types of ignorant statements from leftists. No biggie.
I'll take Michelle O over Hillary any day.
Hillary actually bullied her way into power --as if we elected her. She acted as a co-presidency, and as far as I am concerned it was a co-presidency. Time served. Go away now.

"At least four hours before hundreds of girls were snatched from a boarding school, Nigerian authorities were aware of Boko Haram’s plans—and yet did nothing, says Amnesty International."
I'm not sure quite how I got to this quote (it was under the "seeking hermit" article?) but maybe hashtag-pout has done some good...moved mountains... Amnesty International has actually criticized a country other than the US or Israel.
wow.

The "two for the price of one" 1992 campaign promise/threat fulfilled.
I watched up to the point where if "I" was that guy who couldn't get a freaking word in edgewise, I would be tempted to get up and punch that A-hole Lemon in the mouth. At that point it was time to stop watching. People like that Lemon guy, make me very angry.
Seriously. I would have either thrown something at him, tried to stab him with my pen or punched him. Short fuse.

Pretty good article at the Guardian about this. An excerpt:
"...Amnesty's report tallies with accounts of the raid given to the Guardian by Chibok residents. They say they received phone calls alerting them of the impending attacks. Attempts to alert the local military post by telephone were hampered by unanswered calls and poor phone networks . One group of residents said they dispatched a motorbike rider to the nearest battalion but no reinforcements came.
The dozen or so soldiers posted to Chibok were outnumbered and outgunned by up to 100 militants, witnesses said. The soldiers held off the militants for almost an hour but fled when no reinforcements arrived, according to parents of the missing girls who later encountered the soldiers sheltering in the bush surrounding the town.
'Local vigilante groups passed on the first information to the military at around 7pm. The first gunshots [from the attack] were heard around 11.45pm,' Kamara [an Amnesty Inter. researcher] said. The senior military officials passed on the information to their superiors shortly after receiving it, but got no order to send backup to Chibok, half an hour's drive from the nearest battalion."
Sounds like a pretty sorry set-up. Sad all around.
