Another Award for Nothing: Lady Michelle Wins Woman of the Year Award

More nonsense from the lamestream media. "In under a year, Michelle Obama has transformed the role of First Lady, throwing open the doors of the White House to families and children," says Cindi Leive, Glamour editor-in-chief. For that, Lady Michelle has "earned" her iconic status (the same way she "earned" her seat at Princeton and Harvard Law, is what I'm thinking).

That's right, Cindi, Michelle-O is the only First Lady who has ever "opened the White House" to children. Come on, I don't know how old you are, Cindi, but judging by the way you spell your name, maybe you're not old enough to remember much--but First Ladies and Children go together like white on rice. (Ooooh, is that a racist remark? Well, slap my face.)

Yeah, I'm right. "Cindi" Leive is about 12 years old, just right for editor-in-chief of Glamour.

Give me a BREAK. As if Lady Michelle is the first First Lady to invite children to the White House. So Michelle-o gets an award as an ICON for inviting children to the White House. Yet she tells young girls that college is too expensive and big business is b-a-d. What kind of mentoring of young girls is that? The over-the-top, affirmative coverage of this woman in the yellow stream media makes me want to throw up on my shoes.

Exit Question: What is it about MO and BO that makes the lamestream media feel the necessity of propping them up with meaningless, unearned awards?

Update: The best Michelle Obama website on the internet is Michelle Obama's Mirror Blog. This person who writes the blog (um, the mirror) is hilarious. Highly recommended.

Update #2: My pal at Sharp Elbows reminds me that this White House hasn't been exactly 100% kid-friendly: "Sobbing Kindergartners Snubbed for Stealers" tells the story of the White House closing its doors to a bus load of young children who were supposed to get a tour but because of traffic showed up late and were told "too bad." I guess Glamour gave Michelle-O a pass for that one.
