Debate or Dueling Guests
It’s hard to decide if tonight’s debate is dueling guest or a debate.
Hillary is bringing Mark Cuban and Meg Whitman.
Trump is countering with Obama’s half-brother and a ghost from Clinton’s past: Patricia Smith, the mother of Benghazi victim Sean Smith, who has accused the former secretary of state of “murdering” her son.
I have wondered why Trump felt it was necessary to publicly attack Khizr Khan when Democrats did not say a word about Patricia’s Smith carefully worded and painful speech at the GOP convention, when even the man who wrote her speech is now voting for Hillary.
Look, my heart goes out to Patricia Smith and if believing that Hillary Clinton murdered her son makes his death easier for her, then so be it. She has the right to grieve in any way that helps her. Democrats instinctually know that and said nothing negative about Smith. Trump is incapable of feeling compassion so Khan was a handy target for him.
I am sadly sure that tonight’s debate will not accomplish anything worthwhile.
But, Honey, did you see Barack Obama’s boo last night?
Darlin’, that’s some powerful dress wearing.
I am so going to miss my president and his boo. Just stunning! I look forward for what they do next.
1Trump always goes for the personal low and is using that mother shamelessly. Michelle and Barak are gorgeous couple with loads of intelligence and class. They will be missed so much.
2Song…..
“Don’t want to let you go!
3I never can say goodbye Bo
No, no, I
I never can say goodbye
No, no, no….”
Our FLOTUS is one classy lady!
Jane and I had tickets for the debate tonight, but there is no way we could safely make our way to Las Vegas. The wild fires were pretty much extinguished by the rain, but there is a significant problem with mud and rock slides.
4PKM: Wise to stay home and safe. You can watch on teevee. Just be sure to have a spray bottle of water handy to make sure the screen doesn’t burst into flames. I smell M-E-L-T-D-O-W-N!
5I thought Patricia Smith was the step-mother?
6Whoa, Michelle is ranking right up there as a goddess in that dress. Stunning!
7Does anyone see it as ironic that the same guy who demands a Muslim ban (Trump) is flying in a radical one to try to show up the guy not running for president (Obama)? Does he not see that being estranged from his brother means Obama is not supporting Hamas? When Hillary looks out in the audience and sees him will she think “Oh my god, I’m so upset” or “Who is that?”
8I wish the Khan’s were going to be there staring Trump down.
9I never knew I needed a rose-gold chain mail dress until I saw that.
10TrulyTexan, I enjoyed “Clinton’s” take on Trump’s intimidation tactic on SNL: “What? Who’s here? *Mistresses*? Oh, Bill, how *could* you? I’ll *never* remember my facts and figures now… Get real. I’m made of steel and I can handle anything. [waving] Hi, girls!”
11More about the dress, designed by Versace for a dinner with the Italian PM:

12I seem to be the only one that really, really hated that dress. So effing tacky. But it is Versace and Versace is always tacky. This from a gay man. Thought she looked cheap and horrible. Such a shame for her last state dinner because she usually look so classy instead of like some $500 hooker.
13I’m pretty sure that saying a woman looks like a $500 hooker because of how she’s dressed is way tackier than anything Versace ever came up with.
And what on earth has gay got to do with it?
14Here are some more photos of FLOTUS in the dress. I would not wear anything that clung to my rear end like that, but maybe if I had her rear end I’d consider it.

15Mark J –
Yeah, I think you’re the only one. Michelle has always downplayed her sexiness, and not really displayed her body, except for those awesome upper arms. But now, at probably their last big formal event in the White House – YOWZAH!! I even love the hair falling across the face, which usually annoys me. Stunning is the appropriate word.
16Michelle has finally been revealed as a goddess! You go, Michelle!
17Lunargent has the right word, “stunning.” Exactly the word that came to my mind when I first saw that picture. The color is gorgeous. I love how it doesn’t reveal a lot of skin, but certainly does reveal a well-toned figure. What a classy couple this is and how I will miss them.
