So Close

This is from a Michelle Malkin piece:

Barack Obama better hope his bitter half has a change of attitude if she expects to assume the title of first lady in November. She's been likened to John Kennedy's wife, what with her chic suits and pearls and perfectly coiffed helmet hair. But when she opens her mouth, Michelle O is less Jackie O and more Wendy W - as in Wendy Whiner, the constantly kvetching "Saturday Night Live" character from the early 1980s.

What rotten parallel structure--Michelle O and Jackie O, only to let us down with Wendy W. And what makes it all the more painful is I was sure she was setting us up for a discourse on how Barack Obama's wife is just like Wendy O. Williams.

Ah, the Plasmatics, who bravely locked themselves in separate rooms when they recorded their tracks.

I don't see duct tape on the mammaries as a future first lady fashion accessory
