“Some sort of record in White House puffery was achieved when Tom Vilsack, the secretary of agriculture, joined first lady Michelle Obama to ‘help’ her plant vegetables in the new White House garden,” wrote St. Louis Post Dispatch columnist Kevin Horrigan. He noted how Vilsack wore a suit and tie, and Obama wore “some sort of L.L. Bean-ish, Lands’ End-ish pink jacket.” Horrigan contends that real gardening attire is “boots, jeans and a T-shirt, all of which you don’t care if they get torn and muddy in your fruitless (also vegetable-less) struggle to persuade the soil in your yard to yield something edible.”

That scandal is old news.
Hannity’s big attack was President Obama desecrating a good ol’ American hamburger with dijon mustard!!!!
Get your priorities straight, Brownlee!
She probably is wearing her $550.00, average American girl sneakers too.
“Get your priorities straight, Brownlee!”
Damn right! You should only attack republicans, christians, and conservatives.
What the H is wrong with you Brownlee!?!

When meeting the First Lady, I would hope you would respect at least the title and dress accordingly. This is a pretty stupid thread.
The only thing more ignorant/disturbing is Monkey’s obsession with Hannity. What is it about him that does it for you Monkey? You seem to now hang on his every word.
This is the best that the writers for the Eagle could come up with?
Damn.

It’s pretty funny. But obviously in a suit and tie he was not there for what was advertised.

Or do you just love her because she is “an uppity negro… and one of them women too.” – your words.
