J. Christian Adams, the pasty poop-dropping left behind at the Civil Rights Division by cartoon-voiced homunculus Bradley Schlozman, heard that some black lady was talking to voters in Chicago near a polling place and OMIGAWD! HOLY FUCK! it was Michelle Obama who is married to some guy. This makes her the moral equivalent of the Black Panthers who were a bunch of black guys in the sixties who seduced young white women and made beautiful half-chocolate babies…. like that guys Michelle Obama is married to.
So this is how freedom dies:
Today, when Michelle Obama voted early in Chicago, she reportedly told a voter that he needed to vote to keep her husband’s legislative agenda alive. This took place in an area where such electioneering is prohibited by Illinois law. The law has criminal consequences.
Like the New Black Panther case, photographs exist of the lawbreaking. And like the dismissal of the New Black Panther case, the administration has swung into action to abet lawbreaking. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the first lady supports her husband’s agenda.
Like so much about the New Black Panther case, that isn’t the point. The point is the rule of law, that precious institution that makes America thrive and, in her darker hours, survive. Laws should apply equally to everyone, whether a president or a prisoner. That is the revolutionary idea that drove our revolution.
In case you are keeping score at home,J. Christian means that white guy revolution in the 1770′s and not the Burn, Baby, Burn one with the better music in the 1970′s.
Anyway, Michelle Obama will probably get lynched now or something because, you know, the founders and the Constitution and some of that other shit that we need to get back to.

Beautiful, true words. How strange that I should feel the way I imagine a Catholic person might feel watching H P Lovecraft taking communion, or perhaps the way a Muslim person might feel if he saw a pig bowing down in an easterly direction.
How many times did he work in “Black Panthers” and “Michelle Obama” in that one piece?
It’s almost as if he has a thing about black people just like the Klu Klux Klan did and so is trying to just connect the scariest images of black people and the First Lady, just like the Klu Klux Klan would do, or like Hitler who hated minorities and non-Arayans and was racist, or like the Klu Klux Klan.
In other news, a smiling Herbert Hoover emerged from the voting booth in 1928 saying “Come on boys, vote for freedom and prosperity!” and was immediately tackled by a time-traveling hit squad and arrested for electioneering.
Another straight married republiKKKan male. Look at him:

I don’t have the inclination to do teh google on Mr. J. Christian Adams and how many articles he has done on how many times the Bush Administration broke the laws against torture, but since the point is the “rule of law”, there must be a bunch of them.
The “rule of law” is not about torture. It is a sacred American concept that was invented by our Founding Fathers to cover situations in which a president might deny, under oath, that he had had oral sex with one of his interns. See Federalist # 69, “The Real Character of the Executive.” 69. Heh.
Michelle Pfeiffer? Meh. The only true Catwoman is Eartha Kitt.
Indeed. Now I wonder how he would feel about it if we applied these principles to the prosecution of G. W. Bush & CO. for war crimes and crimes against humanity or the big banks for financial fraud in the mortgage mess or to the Republican party for voter intimidation?
that precious institution that makes America thrive and, in her darker hours, survive.
Ah, yes, the trademark Beautiful Rich Prose of the dickhead “patriot.” Her darker hours indeed. Memo to right-wing “scribes”–The more there are of you writing about “her” “darker hours,” the darker her hours are.
What a douche. Telling someone they should vote is NOT “electioneering.” That requires one to advocate for a particular candidate. I’m so sorry these extremely complex notions are beyond the expertise of Mr. Adams. He is also unsure of the definitions of the words “truth,” “of,” “a” and “the.”
Michelle Pfeiffer? Meh. The only true Catwoman is Eartha Kitt.
While Pfeiffer has her own crimes against cinema to come to terms with, you shouldn’t try to pin this one on her. That particular shitburger is Halle Berry’s burden to bear.
Not sure about Cat Woman, but judging from the confusing, seemingly non-sensical prose, I would say Mr. J. Christian Anderson is the Frank Gorshin of our times.
She’s right up there with Kathy Ireland in terms of conveying Dull Surprise.
Speaking of which: Dull Surprise!
Julie Newmar. The one, the only.
And when I see the “rule of law” applied to banksters over foreclosure fraud, we’ll talk, Mister (and I use the word loosely) Adams.
Well, now that Constitutional scholar P_t Sajak has weighed in, it seems that voting for anything in which you have an interest is a crime. Hence, vote “for my husband” is electioneering of the worstest sort!
“The point is the rule of law…”
When I hear that crowd say this I can’t help but think of Frank Burns. “I can go in. I can go out.”
“I’m for the rule of law. Now I’m not. I’m for, now I’m not…”
“She was telling me how important it was to vote to keep her husband’s agenda going,” Campbell said.
Wouldn’t her husband’s agenda actually have to be on the ballot to make that electioneering? And isn’t forbidding any political discussion unconstitutional?
Also: darker hours tee hee SO SUBTLE.
Hee! I miss that show. Crow, mostly.
