Carla Bruni Does First Lady Costumes Better Than Anyone [The Politics Of Fashion]
NPR today brings us a story on the sartorial "tightrope" that any potential first lady must walk: "a successful first lady profile is a delicate amalgam of not-too-bright, not-too-tight, not-too low-cut and not-too expensive...today's First Ladies have to look stylish, but not too stylish." The piece goes on to compliment both Michelle Obama and Cindy McCain for their efforts in this department, praising the "variety" of both women's wardrobes. Which just makes it funnier to see the Daily Mail's piece, "Th

MSNBC ran an ad for "Hardball" Thursday morning teasing a segment on Michelle Obama's image makeover. The ad featured background artwork of female silhouetted dancers while the phrase, "HER NEW OUTLOOK?" was displayed on the screen.

The full statement: "The artwork should not have been used, it was inappropriate. We pulled the spot this morning and it was re-done withou

Desperate Denver Journos Just Reporting on Each Other [Journalismism]
There's no news in Denver. At least, no news that couldn't be reported by watching it on C-Span from the comfort of home. So what to do? Report on what all your fellow journalists are doing! So far, the single greatest example of this is HuffPo's constant reportage from their own "HuffPost Oasis" in Denver. At left, an unretouched screengrab from their front page today. The Oasis is remarkably popular with journalists, considering that we have no idea what goes on there but we don't think it involves free b

Michelle Obama to be a guest host on `The View'
Michelle Obama will be a guest host on "The View" on June 18. The popular ABC daytime talk show had invited her to be a guest this month, but she sent back word that she would like to be a host like Cindy McCain did in April, said Bill Geddie, the show's executive producer.

New Yorker's 'terrorist' Obama cover under fire
In a campaign in which Senator Barack Obama touching fists with his wife sparked a "controversy", the New Yorker's latest cover was never going to slip onto newsstands unnoticed. In a satirical swipe at the crazy rumours about the presidential candidate and his wife, Michelle, the liberal magazine depicts them as terrorists in the oval office. Obama is in Muslim clothing; Michelle, in an Afro and military garb, has an AK-47 slung over he shoulder. Naturally, the fist bumping is there, along with a por

Michelle Obama Rings a Welcome to Biden's Wife
When Sen. Barack Obama told wife Michelle that he'd decided on a vice presidential candidate earlier this week, she gave him snaps – literally. "I've stayed out of this process ... but when he told me his choice I said, 'That's the right choice.' I was like, 'Good!' " she told PEOPLE as she snapped her fingers in approval after her husband's announcement Saturday that Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware would be his running mate. That morning Michelle Obama, 44 – sporting a tiny peace-sign pave diamond

Obama Makes The Smart Move
It was leaked to the press late last night that Obama picked Senator Joseph Biden as his VP running mate. Although nothing to get excited about, we think this is a smart move. He gets a little cred with older white folks and makes his run for the Whitehouse look less risky by selecting a “seasoned” politician with a strong background in international affairs. Now that this is over, it’s time to go hard and push that shady McCain’s wig back.
