Washington, DC. Representative Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI), has sent a note of apology to Michelle Obama for saying she has a "large posterior." Although the exact words in the note have not been revealed, it is apparent that the Obamas consider the matter unimportant, as they have not responded to or acknowledged the apology.
This is not the first time the portly Sensenbrenner has made comments about the First Lady's figure, reports Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Daniel Bice. It seems that the Wisconsin representative told people at a local church that she has "a big butt."
Sensenbrenner plans to spend the holidays with his family in their sty at Menomonee Falls where they will swill down copious amounts of egg nog, turkey, mashed potatoes, sundry pies and cakes and a generous helping of fresh lard from the solid silver trough he inherited from his father.

Is that singing pig a quote? I know I've heard it before. Yours?
ReplyDeleteYes, I can't remember right now who said it. Sounds like Mencken or Bierce. I'll check.
ReplyDeleteColor me surprised. It was Robert Heinlein.
ReplyDeleteConsidering that Sensenbrenner is himself a member of the species technically known as "tub of lard," it is little wonder the Obama's paid him no mind.
ReplyDelete(I find myself wondering when was the last time he actually LOOKED at a woman; I am pretty sure that curves are part of the package.)
Hah! Yes, like a winding mountain road.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your essay, and adore your quote!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sue! Mele Kalikimaka to you!
ReplyDeleteIt's not enough for us to feel indignation at this gratuitous remark--so insulting and on the eve of Christmas and the season of good cheer etc.! Sensenbrenner's website is http://sensenbrenner.house.gov/. Tell him what you think of his outrageous remark! (You have to pretend to be from his district, so you can use this address, as I did, of the Menomonee Falls Community Chamber, N88 W16621 Appleton Avenue
ReplyDeleteMenomonee Falls, WI 53052).
Thank you Meredith!
