Is reading and writing really so bad these days? I honestly don’t know but with all the texting and social media usage I’d think that being able to read and write would be a social priority for most kids these days. The grammar may not be perfect but I’d think that it would be above second grade level.
But I suppose that’s a discussion for a different thread.
And why is no one talking about how well she delivered the speech, huh? 
Seriously though, it’s so nice to see a pretty, elegant, classy woman on the podium serving as a symbol of hard work, glamor, upward mobility and success after all these years of privilege-whinging, excuse-making and downwardly mobile lifestyles portrayed as noble and good coming from the left.
A pretty, elegant, classy woman used those same words as Miss Greencard, and she did it 8 years ago.
As pointed in the other thread. In that report about the plagiarism Republican strategist Steve Schmidt does point that the speech was indeed a highlight, but after the plagiarism was found it turned this troubled night into a catastrophe.
Then he fell for the excuse that it was for sure the appalling work of the speech writers and therefore Melania was blameless, but that became more embarrassing (you would think that was impossible) when it was pointed later elsewhere about what Melania told in an early interview about her speech “work”.
As for delivery, I looked at how the speech was delivered in 2008 :), compared to what Michelle Obama did, Melania Trump really looked to me as if she was a bit stiff and and also worried.
Not a bad post, GIGO, considering our history. My compliments. 
You think so? I’d be careful with that, because dontcha know…
…When you presume you make a* pre* out of u and me.
Now that we know the Classy Lassie plagiarized it, I think some of the verses of Richard Thompson’s Fergus Laing need to be recalled to describe the whole situation perfectly:
*Fergus Laing, he works so hard
As busy as a bee is
Fergus Laing has 17 friends
All as dull as he is
His 17 friends has 17 wives
All the perfect shape and size
They wag their tails and bat their eyes
Just like Lassie
Fergus he builds and builds
Yet small is his erection
Fergus has a fine head of hair
When the wind’s in the right direction
Fergus Laing and his 17 friends
They live inside a bubble
There they withdraw and shut the door
At any sign of trouble
Should the peasants wail and vent
And ask him where the money went
He’ll simply say, it’s all been spent
On being classy
*
Ah, so you’re the audience for that political cartoon I linked to earlier…

Nah, Michelle is nowhere near that heavily muscled or unattractive. But classy is not a word I’d use to describe her. Nor successful, nor a symbol of hard work and upward mobility. But I’d say the same for almost any Democratic first lady or politician. Democrats, at least in terms of political policy, couldn’t care less about class, glamor, success and upward mobility. These are all hallmarks of privilege, you see, and as such are unfair and should be abandoned.
I am just basking in schadenfreude right now.
You can’t make this shit up. The photo of Michelle Obama holding up the sign is classic.
This place is going to be insufferable if Trump gets elected. Every fucking word coming out of him, anyone in his family and anyone in his administration is going to be endlessly vetted for any error or inaccuracy or possibility for misrepresentation, (Can you say “Trump was pointing at her tits”??) and trumpeted and mocked endlessly in the news and social media. It’ll be Dan Quayle times 1,000 for four to eight fucking years.
Would that Democrats come under the same scrutiny. For all we know Michelle’s speech could have been plagiarized, but we’d never hear a peep about it if so. How many critical or condemning articles have appeared about Obama the last eight years outside Fox and Drudge? I’ve never found one anytime I’ve looked on sites such as CNN, USA Today, the New York Times, the LA Times, etc., etc., etc. For all anyone outside the Fox/Drudge sphere knows, Obama himself is a Teflon president. Only without the need of Teflon. :rolleyes:
That response would make a lot more sense if the similarities were much more vague, or it was just one sentence.
HAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, I got’cha schadenfreude…SWINGIN’'! 
How much of that do you think’s gonna show up in the mainstream media? (C’mon, journos, prove you have at least a shred of integrity and trumpet that with the same intensity you do Melania’s speech.) Ain’t gonna happen, I guarantee it!
The Deval Patrick plagiarism was covered extensively in the MSM. But that was from a friend and ally. This is much more embarrassing.
Oh, yeah? Was it covered like this?
And who cares if it was from a friend and ally? Obama presented it as his own.
I’ll be sure to let all the Democratic men and women I served with in the Navy that they aren’t classy, didn’t work hard, and aren’t successful.
Jesus, what a pointlessly hateful post.
Are you serious? Obama and Clinton are attacked relentlessly for everything they say and do by the frothing true believer GOP and Tea partiers. If Trump is mocked more than them, it’s because he objectively says loads more incredibly stupid things. Sorry that reality has a liberal bias.
The Democratic men and women you served with in the Navy were Democratic politicians?
They’re the ones who set policy, you know.
But be that as it may, let me isolate what I said in the hope it gets through this time:
