K-Lo who knows more about the synergy between the personal and the political than you ever will, stops and wonders:
Weird Choice [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
This is not certainly not the biggest issue of the election year, but why would Barack Obama let his daughters' first interview be with Access Hollywood?
Follow the link and you'll see a brilliant example of the selling of the Obamas as... kind of a normal, charming, and funny family instead of Black Liberationist elitist Marxist mud people.
Who knew?
Having said that, I guess it's a miracle that Malia and Sasha Obama have turned out so well considering all of the "hate" that they have been exposed to instead of being raised up in the loving embrace of good old American values.
If the yappy-type conservative bloggers think that they are going to be able to paint the Obamas as the black Manson family they certainly have their work cut out for them, particularly in a post-Jesse Helms world where shouting "nigger nigger nigger" doesn't play like it used to.
(Added): Jesus Christ on a kaiser roll, what the hell is wrong with Michelle Malkin? Besides the obvious:
Who the hell puts Grey Poupon and gherkins (don’t ask me what those are, I have no idea) in tuna sandwiches for kids?
She doesn't know what a gherkin is?
You know, there are more food groups than onion rings and donuts...

I thought I was aware of all internet traditions, then I saw a “buy me a gun” bleg.
Jeebus.
K-LowIQ has a point…I mean, given his courteous treatment of Chelsea Clinton over the years, why didn’t the Obamas sit down for a nice familly chat with Rush Limbaugh?
Isn’t a gherkin what the wingnuts wear when they play renaissance games?
Clearly these were Muslim gherkins, since they have a funny name.
This is Le MalKKKin after all. She doesn’t even know her ass from her elbow.
What do you want to bet that if Obama had said he didn’t know what gherkins were she’d be railing about how it shows he’s “inauthentic” and clearly a terrorist sympathizer because he’s unaware of this traditional American repast?
Does he not know that gherkins are eaten “Whiz, wit”?
(Just as an aside, I don’t give a fuck what your local traditions are, Cheese Whiz gives me stomach cramps and wicked shits and that crap will never pass my lips again.)
It’s not important what the tuna sandwiches were made with, but it’s absolutely critical what they were made on. I suspect that was a granite countertop under that cutting board, and I’m really surprised that Michelle allowed herself to be distracted by gherkins.
Dijon (and Grey Poupon Dijon-style) mustard is as mainstream in the USA as salsa at this point. Michelle Malkin knows this. I mean, she met her husband at Oberlin, for Cthulu’s sake.
Who the hell puts Grey Poupon and gherkins (don’t ask me what those are, I have no idea) in tuna sandwiches for kids?
Yeah, because pickles and mustard are so UNAMERICAN. If they were nice people, they’d use Miracle Whip and some kind of relish.
I’m sure K-Lo would have liked to see the children interviewed by, say, Chris Wallace on FauxNews. He would have really grilled them, not just lobbed a couple of softballs. He probably even would have made them spell “gherkin” and use it in a sentence.
“Ok, Mr. Wallace.
G-h-e-r-k-i-n.
Are you glad to see me, Mr. Wallace, or is that a gherkin in your pocket?”
It’s the pathetic postings of people like Jonah, K-Lo, and Michelle that make me glad I don’t have to live in their alternate reality universe. I’d have off’d myself a long time ago.
Poor Ms. MalKKKin, being a rageaholic has gotten so tedious these days.
Gherkin, schmerkin — you can’t really expect Michelle to know a lot of unimportant “facts,” now, can you?
Am I the only one who thinks she thinks “gherkin” = “merkin”? Or “Murkan”?
Somehow, somewhere, Nedra Pickler is behind all this.
