Open Thread: No Joking About Michelle's 'Posterior'

December 22nd, 2011 5:23 PM

Politico reports Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) sent a note of apology Thursday to Michelle Obama for referring to her “large posterior” and “big butt.”

Sensenbrenner  was overheard talking about the first lady’s healthy food initiative — and her “large posterior” — on Wednesday in the Delta Crown lounge at Reagan National Airport, FishbowlDC reported, saying he's "known for his cantankerous ways and for not speaking to media unless it’s his idea." He was apparently easily exposed as he "said loudly on the phone" that Obama “lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself.” Would these sites be this solicitious of the FLOTUS when she belongs to the Other Party?
